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

RebuttalsR1: "pro, as your evidence is provided but such websites, searching a few websites making claims and statements, but is that overall society ? " These websites I used as evidence were well respected websites. This being said, their research does an above average job at collecting data. Making this information very credible. Besides, many different sampling methods have been shown to be very accurate. It's just like a pot of soup. When you sample test a pot of soup, you get to taste all of the ingredients in the soup. Giving you an accurate visualization of all of the different ingredients in the soup. R2: General Population No matter where you go to for the most part. Humanitarian rights is recognized globally. This also means seeing women as a minority. There is plenty of examples of this. For example, just look at how China treats their women. They put them on a pedal-stool. Just like here in America. Or you could go to Thailand, where men go and get a sex change just to get the same benefits as women. Ironic wouldn't you say? By the way, they have a special name for these people. They're called "katoys". I may have spelled it wrong, but that is how it is pronounced. There is plenty of other special privileges women have too, but that is for another debate. Not this one. R3: In my opponents P1 response. My opponent doesn't even address my arguments. Nor is evidence provided. Con just named a few websites, but didn't give any links. R4: "Plenty of sites for black males and if you do not believe me just google it up and see how many sources of black male education sites it is , but what do this mean ? " Here my opponent makes a factual claim the education system is focused to some degreee on black male students. Though, what percentage of black males makes up for the entire male population just here in America? You may be surprised by this, but only 26% of the male population is black/African-American according to the Census Bureau here in America. This being said, where is the rest of male population? One thing is for sure they definitely aren't black. R5: I demand my opponent give some hard evidence for P3. Besides, of course men were glorified in the past. That doesn't mean they are being glorified now. Furthermore, sports has nothing to do with education. ( I thought I just add that in there. ) I brought that up because if my opponent is going to attempt to prove men are being glorified, I'd like to seehow men are being glorified in an academic sense. Or in other words, show us how men are being glorified as being'intelligent with hard evidence. R6: "Due to males having so much power over females in the past and the males were so self centered when it comes to education work, mental, and physical ability of between a man and women and how women was look at in the past, are the reason why in some cases they have female education there is a lot of history within a women that is not taught to us. "With all do respect to my opponent, I admire your enthusiasm in this debate, but I never said male education was more important than female education. All I have been arguing is male education should be held at a higher importance than what it is right now. IV. Males are generally discouraged from furthering education A. ) Evidence: 2. ) Christina Hoff Sommers in _The War Against Boys_ (Simon and Schuster, 2000): "Six years after the release of How Schools Shortchange Girls, the New York Times ran a story that, for the first time, questioned the validity of the report. By then, of course, most of the damage to the truth about boys and girls was irreparable. This time the reporter, Tamar Lewin, did reach Diane Ravitch, who told her, "The AAUW report was just completely wrong. What was so bizarre is that it came out right at the time that girls had just overtaken boys in almost every area. It might have been the right story 20 years earlier, but coming out when it did it was like calling a wedding a funeral. .. .There were all these special programs put in place for girls, and no one paid any attention to boys. " By the way, the release date of How Schools Shortchange Girls was 05/01/1995. This means the story the New York times ran was in 2001. So, if we consider the author's credibility, and the credibility of the source, "20 years earlier" is a significant amount of time for a problem to escalate. This also means females education had been of more importance even in the recent past. Furthermore, I haven't heardof any affirmative action put in place for males education. VI. Male population's risk of suicide A. ) Evidence: 1. ) According to Dr. Rick Nauert who has over 25 years experience in clinical, administrative and academic healthcare, men are 3 times more likely to commit suicide than women. . http://psychcentral.com...VI.A.1 explanation: Since this is the case and it is clear men are not valuing education as much as women, (due to the lack of support for males education) this means more men committing suicide because if they aren't getting any education to be successful than less men will be meeting the requirements of women who are seeking partners. VII. Effects/Affects of lack of education Drug Abuse Alcoholism illiteracy increased unemployment Mental health problems Poverty Increased criminal activity (includes increase of sexual assaults) Increased mass shootings Increased suicidal rates More debt and less profit in economy Less consumers child development "According to the Drop Out Prevention Center/Network (DOPC/N), a high-quality early childhood education benefits a child's cognitive and social development in the early years. A high-quality early childhood education also has a positive effect on lower-income families and at-risk children by starting them off with the encouragement of social relationships and a positive view of education.

Especially since you have learned about all the credible information I have presented to you. Side note: Even in this ABC article done on March 17, 2010, the author goes on about how boys are falling behind girls in reading. Furthermore, showing girls becoming more intelligent in areas such as math (matching boys), while boys didn't even budge in their academics. . http://abcnews.go.com...Conclusion: My opponent hasn't given any hard evidence that proves otherwise than my claim males education should be held at a higher importance than what it is now. Furthermore, my opponent hasn't even thoroughly refuted any of my claims. Let alone, even touch my claims supported with credible hard evidence. My opponent has failed to prove females aren't seen as a higher importance in terms of education. Let alone in general. The fact is my opponent wasn't prepared for this debate and it shows. My opponent's organization was horrible. Moving on, it is clear we are in a state of globalization when it comes to ALL the countries of the world. Continuing on, humanitarian rights is of great importance and part of that is women being seen as minorities. Which in turn means women are to receive more benefits in general. All of this said, it is clear who won here.
