Education is currently, primarily focused on females' education in society

I. Education's Main focus gender wise A.) Women are seen as minorities nationwide ( therefore have more importance) A.1) Evidence: 1.) https://www.boundless.com... women-as-a-minority/ a.) Women as a Minority Women are considered a minority group, because they do not share the same power, privileges, rights, and opportunities as men. 2.)http://www.whitehouse.gov... a.)Women in STEM “If we’re going to out-innovate and out-educate the rest of the world, we’ve got to open doors for everyone. We need all hands on deck, and that means clearing hurdles for women and girls as they navigate careers in science, technology, engineering, and math.” -- First Lady Michelle Obama, September 26, 2011 3.) http://www.gocollege.com...; 4.)http://www.pewresearch.org... record-share-of-wives-are-more-educated-than-their-husbands/ A.1.1a explanation: The title and statement which comes from the website speaks for its self.A.1.2a explanation: It is clear here Michelle Obama sees women's education of high importance. Not to mention, the statement indicates she sees women as minorities.A.1.3 explanation: This shows federal aid being given out to a specific group of people. In this case, it is females. Specifically, mothers. The point is, it shows specific help for women. Indicating a minority status.A.1.4 explanation: This shows the results of females being held at a higher importance in education. Furthermore, indicating they have been viewed as minorities and targeted by society to further their education for a while now.II. More evidence of females being held at higher importance in education A.) http://nationsreportcard.gov...; B.) http://www.forbes.com...; "On a national scale, public universities had the most even division between male and female students, with a male- female ratio of 43.6–56.4. While that difference is substantial, it still is smaller than private not-for-profit institutions (42.5-57.5) or all private schools (40.7-59.3). The nearly 40-60 ratio of private schools was most surprising, though perhaps this is partly due to the fact that most all-female schools are private. Nevertheless, the female domination of higher education prevails across all types of schools." 2.) http://blogs-images.forbes.com...II.A explanation: This clearly shows males are falling behind females when it comes to academic performance on ALL levels.II.B.1 explanation: This quote from the website I presented in this section speaks for its self. I don't see how anyone could manipulate that information.II.B.2 explanation: This is just a graph reflecting what was stated in the quote.III. All the evidence shows men's education should be held at a higher importance.As we all can see from the evidence I have provided. It is clear males in general are being left behind when it comes to education.It is also clear females have recieved much more help in terms of education. IV. Males are generally discouraged from furthering their education A.) Evidence: 1.) http://chronicle.com...; "The report, a compendium of data published annually by the department's National Center for Education Statistics, projects that by 2019 women will account for 59 percent of total undergraduate enrollment and 61 percent of total postbaccalaureate enrollment at the nation's colleges and universities. Since the late 1990s, they have accounted for about three-fourths of the increase in the number of master's degrees awarded in the United States and nearly all of the growth in the number of professional degrees earned, the report says." 2.) Christina Hoff Sommers in _The War Against Boys_ (Simon and Schuster, 2000)IV.A.2 explanation:If you want me to cite some of the text from the book I can, but if I am not mistaken, I am pretty sure you can read it online. Either way I can cite some specific information if asked.V. Double edge sword of a bad economy and a lack of educationAs we all know, the economy isn't doing the best it could be doing by far. To further complicate the situationwe have to worry about the crippling effects of an already struggling economy plus a significant illegal immigration problem. This being said, jobs are going to be a hot topic to say the least in the coming year or so. Espically for uneducated men who think they can just go out, find a job and support themselves as well as others. All of this said,there will certainly be a shortage of jobs when it comes to minimum wage jobs, construction jobs, and etc.The only way to give themselves a better chance at finding jobs would be through higher education.My Summary: If we don't do something about men's education now we are going to be in some serious trouble. Not only would this mean more men in poverty, it would also mean less self-sufficient men. That would mean less quality men for all of the women out there. In other words, with a lack of education, comes more psychological problems, less confidence, and less relationship worthy men. The question is, is this what you want for the future? Over to Con.
