claim: to persuade audience that sports should be acknowledged in academics
-reason: Music and art offer a lot of different majors but sports don’t. Many of the skills that are used for music and art are also used for sports. They are not treated with the same level of acknowledgement either.
Evidence: Yale’s theater studies course guide drama students learn a “complex cultural practice and combine practical training with theory and history, while stressing creative critical thinking”. This is what sports do as well
Evidence: Athletes devote as much time to their craft as artists do.
Evidence: We tell music students that regardless of their failures, they have acquired something really valuable and should keep going but we tell athletes with big goals that they are impractical.
Question 1 for “College debt”: He presents many reasons for a college degrees’ value going down such as the amount of people who are going to college are increasing. Because of that a college degree doesn’t offer the value it used to such as setting you apart in the working world. We can determine the cost of the degree isn’t worth it and probably won’t pay off based on statistics and evidence of many college graduates who are just in debt and don’t know what to do.
