This documentary is a nonfiction narrative and where Moore plays a role of an invader. He invaded “Rapunzel of Slovenia”, who also known as magical fairyland. He met with various university students, who study there without having any debt. The university is free for them and he met with the president of Slovenia as well. He invade those countries to take back their good ideas back to the the United States. Evaluation of the text: “Rapunzel of Slovenia” provide us a great example of debt free university education. He did the comparison of the education system of the U.S with Slovenia’s system. This resource material is relevant for my research paper. It also show how Europeans pay less taxes as compared to the U.S. But they get more benefits such as debt free higher education and universal healthcare etc. Source-2: Debt-Free Higher Education Moves Forward in Oregon Works Cited: Dudley, Barbara.

EBSCOhost, search.ebscohost.com.libdb.dccc.edu/login.aspxdirect=true&db=aph&AN=91891457&site=ehost-live. Summary: "Tuition-free higher education" legislation that passed in Oregon in June 2013.” In this program students go to community college and public universities without any tuition fees. In this program, students have to pay some fixed percentage out of their income to pay for future upcoming student’s education. And student agreed for this plan, “Pay It Forward” was the most sensible state-level solution they found”. I think so this plan will be successful, if this will implemented in other states of nation. It decrease the burden of debt from student''s shoulder. And it will make student more productive This resource is relevant for my research paper as it offers solution to debt free education. This needs to passed in others states, so that every student get his right to get free higher education without any inequality. Source-3 Generation Debt: Works Cited: Konczal, Mike.

Summary: “Education is a human right, and anyone who is willing and able should be able to attend an institution of higher education irrespective of their ability to pay for it”. It should not be limited to rich class people. They all escaped from education debt burden. Students from middle classes families struggle with debt most of their life and it is more prominent in African American and Latino students as compared to white students. “Studies already find that student debt leads graduates to delay marriage, invest in a home, or start a business”. In order to pay those debts, after graduation students start working early and accept job of low wages. Due to capitalism and inequality most of benefits are for rich class people. This is a really true, In this capitalistic nation every benefit belongs to rich white class. These debts severely impact the graduates for lifetime. This resource is relevant to my research paper as it provide us how wealth, class separation and economic inequality distributes benefits such as access to education among students disproportionately.

Summary: “A 1 percent tax on concentrated wealth would erase student debt over a decade and bring the cost of public higher education to zero.” It indicates that how the taxing rich would make higher education free for public colleges and universities and it would relieve students under debts. The annual funding of $76 billion required to make public colleges or universities tuition free for students who are in need only by taxing to our 1% rich population. It would raise more than that and it would pay off all students debts. It make a huge difference and relieve a lot of students from debt. This source is relevant for my research paper as it explains how taxing 1% wealthy people will affect the education system and makes public colleges and universities tuition free for students. Source-5: A debt-free college education Citations: Heuvel, Katrina Vanden. "A debt-free college education." Washington Post, 8 Aug. 2013.

Summary: “For millions of students, America's university system is not a pathway to success but a debt trap”. It explains most of the enrolled students dropped their classes because of the tuition costs and they start doing job to run his expenses. An average graduate student under debt of almost $ 30,000. "Pay It Forward, Pay It Back" financing model, similar to ones used in Australia and the United Kingdom” should be start in the U.S. as well. This plan is working well in other countries, if this will implement in states, it will raise economic stability and more educated youth. This source is relevant for my research paper as it explains how US system of education runs by power of elite for their profits but not for public welfare. The gap of class separation keeps expanding, with economic system, where rich people getting priority in every field of life. It doesn’t provide equal opportunities to all students, who want to study irrespective of their financial condition. Source-6 The Argument for Tuition-Free College: Ellison Keith,” The Argument for tuition free college” http://prospect.org/article/argument-tuition-free-college, 04,April,2016.Accessed 21, November, 2017. Summary: “The cost of attending a four-year college has increased by 1,122 percent since 1978. Last year, 38 million American students owed more than $1.3 trillion in student loans.” This debt is more than any other kind of auto loans and credit cards debts. If government provide free subsidiaries to other business programs then why not make the public colleges and universities free for all students. America is the leading power of the world, and post secondary tuition free education must be provided as their basic right to each and every student, who is willing to study. The figures of debt owed by graduates are pretty high, it explains very well that how much debt students have and how it is more than auto loans and credits cards debts. This tells us that government needs to focus on student debts. This source is relevant for my research paper as it explains, federal investments can make public colleges and universities tuition free for all students who are willing to study. An investments in today’s student’s future is an investment in nation’s future.
