  Why Education Matters in Elections Hello everyone! My name is Melanie, and I am currently taking SPC2608, Public Speaking, at Miami Dade College. As part of our class, we have been discussing elections and different topics that connect to them. One topic that stood out to me was education and how much elections can affect it. Before learning more about this topic, I did not really think about how many decisions about schools and education are connected to the people we vote for. Whether we are students, teachers, parents, or simply members of a community, education affects all of us in some way. I think it is important to understand how elections can influence our schools and the opportunities we have for the future. One thing I found interesting was learning about how education has changed throughout history. Back in the 1600s and 1700s, schools were often run by religious groups, and not everyone had the opportunity to receive an education. Today, things are very different. W...

  Why Education Matters Hello everyone! My name is Melanie, and I am currently taking SPC2608, Public Speaking, at Miami Dade College. As part of our class, we have been discussing elections and the different ways they affect our everyday lives. One topic that I found especially interesting was education policies. Education is something that affects all of us in one way or another, whether we are students, teachers, or simply members of our community. I believe it is important to understand how decisions made by our government can affect our education and future opportunities. In this blog, I will share some of the things I learned and why I think education is such an important part of elections. One thing I found interesting was learning about how education has changed throughout history. Back in the 1600s and 1700s, schools were often run by religious groups, and not everyone had the same opportunity to receive an education. Things have changed a lot since then. Today, we have ...

  Youse Elma Immigration: More Than Just Laws and Politics Immigration is something we hear about almost every day, whether it's on the news, social media, or through conversations with others. It is one of those topics that people have strong opinions about, but how often do we actually take the time to understand what immigration really means? When people hear the word immigration, they might automatically think about borders, laws, or politics. However, immigration is much bigger than that. It involves real people, families, opportunities, struggles, and decisions that can change someone's entire future. Recently, in my SPC2608 Public Speaking class at Miami Dade College, my group, Group 4, had the opportunity to research and present on immigration policies. Before working on this presentation, I had a general understanding of immigration, but I never realized how many different things were connected to it. Throughout our research, I learned about the challenges immigrants f...

  Your Voice, Your Future: Why Every Vote Matters Hello everyone! My name is Rihab, and I am currently a first-year college student at Miami Dade College (MDC). I am taking SPC2608, Public Speaking, where I have the opportunity to improve my communication skills, become more confident speaking in front of others, and learn from different classroom activities. Since this is my first year in an American college, I find these experiences especially valuable because they help me discover more about American society, its history, and the issues that affect people's everyday lives. Recently, our class worked on a group project about elections and why they matter. Each group presented a different subject, including immigration policies, the economy, education policies, and the electorate and election process. I found this project interesting because all these topics are connected to our daily lives, even when we do not always realize it. In this blog, I will share what I learned from each...

  The Importance of Understanding the Issues Around Us In our Public Speaking class, SPC2608, at Miami Dade College, we recently did group presentations about different topics that affect our country. Each group had a different topic: immigration policies, the economy, education policies, and the election process. I learned something new from each presentation and got to hear different opinions from my classmates. Some topics were more interesting to me than others, but I think all of them were important. The first presentation was my group, Group 4. Our topic was immigration policies. We talked about what immigration policies are, why they exist, and how they affect people and families. I learned more about the laws that decide who can enter and stay in the United States. We also talked about how immigration helps families reunite and how it can affect the economy and jobs. Something I found interesting was learning how different countries, like Canada and countries in Europe, hav...
