The shortcomings of prestigious universities in the USA (Essay)

The Strawberry Statement

Columbia University is one of the most prestigious universities in the USA. In mid-2024, the anti-Israeli genocide of Palestinians movement was gaining momentum at this university, as well as many other universities in the USA and even universities around the world.

The strike was aimed at moving the governments of each country to make Israel stop the genocide. However, it is difficult to stop Israel, which has deep ties with Western countries, and even in the USA, the national policy is to support Israel, so the genocide continued.

Now, it is amazing that the annual tuition fee at Columbia University is $700,000. (The largest prestigious university in Japan, the University of Tokyo, is $3,000.) It is a university for the children of the rich. Therefore, the anti-genocide movement can be said to be a pastime for high-class idlers who will not have trouble making a living even if they are expelled from university.

The stance of prestigious universities in the USA in accepting international students is also problematic. In Japan's case, they would readily accept the son of a Liberal Democratic Party politician. Columbia University accepted Shinjiro Koizumi, the son of Junichiro Koizumi; Harvard University accepted Taku Eto, the son of Takami Eto; and St. John's University accepted Taro Kono, the son of Yohei Kono. All three of these people are from third-rate Japanese universities and would not normally be able to enter these universities. They accepted these idiots because their parents were powerful politicians. And these three are hereditary LDP politicians and are also influential. In the long run, this is bound to tarnish the reputation of prestigious US universities.

PS: Columbia University was the setting for the anti-war film The Strawberry Statement.

USAの名門大学の欠点（エッセイ）

コロンビア大学は、USA有数の名門大学である。２０２４年中頃、この大学を始めとしてUSAの多くの大学、さらには世界各地の大学で、イスラエルによるパレスチナ人ジェノサイド反対運動が盛り上がっていた。

各国の政府を動かして、イスラエルにジェノサイドを止めさせることが目標のストライキを行った。ただ西側諸国に深く食い込むイスラエルを止めるのは難しく、USAにしても国是がイスラエル支持だから、ジェノサイドは続いた。

さて、コロンビア大学の年間学費が７０万ドルというのはすごい。（日本最大の名門・東京大学は３千ドルである。）金持ちの子女のための大学なのだ。だから反ジェノサイド運動は、たとえ大学を退学になっても食うに困らぬ高等遊民のお遊びであるとも言える。

USAの名門大学が留学生を受け入れるスタンスも、問題になる。日本の場合なら、自民党議員の息子をほいほい受け入れた。コロンビア大学は小泉純一郎の息子：小泉進次郎を入学させ、ハーバード大学は江藤隆美の息子：江藤拓を、セント・ジョーンズ大学は河野洋平の息子：河野太郎を受け入れた。この３人はいずれも日本の三流大学の出身で、普通ならこれらの大学には入学できない。親が権力のある政治家だから、とこれら馬鹿どもを入学させたのだ。そしてこの３人は、自民党議員を世襲し、さらには有力である。これは長い目で見れば、USA名門大学の名声を落とすことになるのは必定である。

PS:コロンビア大学は反戦映画「イチゴ白書」の舞台になった。

Clutch #3758 - Vida/Savir

Mated On: 2024-11-08 # of eggs: 5 Hatched On: 2024-11-13

Progeny:

Hatchling 9998 - Aberration Female, Slate Falcon/Spring Safari/Twilight Mucous, Uncommon

Hatchling 9999 - Aberration Male, Ginger Falcon/Radioactive Safari/Banana Mucous, Dark

Hatchling 10000 - Aberration Male, Stone Savannah/Radioactive Peregrine/Cerulean Polypore, Common

Hatchling 10002 - Aberration Male, Tarnish Savannah/Spring Safari/Amethyst Polypore, Uncommon - 15 gems on 2024-11-29

Comments: My 10,000th dragon hatchling! Allowing for 10+ years of mistakes in the numbering, anyway, some of which I caught and fixed, and possibly others of which I missed. Does include guest clutches (other people's in my lair, and mine in other lairs) but does not count opening eggs from events, Galore, and gathering.

Probably keeping him and, given the new breed just out, turning him into an Everlux.

May discontinue doing daily clutches moving forward, and switch over to "start a nest only when I feel like it"; 10+ years is a long time to play a game.

The writing says: Deer jurnal, I hat Raya Lucaria.

(Dear Journal, I hate Raya Lucaria.)

The plan per her Finger Maiden: Steal as many spells or valuable looking things to resell to Sellen.

Result: Not many spells that Sellen didn't already have, and Percival got mocked for having 9 INT. (She's not even blunt stone status. :C)

Conclusion: Everyone at Raya Lucaria that can cast magic is over the age of 30. And the conquering of the Academy is going to be sweet once Percival is Elden Lord.

(PS: Percival is learning to read and write still please be patient she has brain damage.)

As the only creature made in the image and likeness of God, humans reflect the splendor of their Maker, yet in finite expression. And after man’s fall into sin this image certainly became tarnished.

just wanna say that I reread tarnish like every other day. your characterization of talon in general is amazing. how did you get so smart n sexy t come up w a story like that? I love you

hjkdfsahkj THANKS tarnish is one of my secret faves i think im just a sucker for high noon talon or sett calling him pet names. (or more probably both). i didnt really think when i wrote it, i just wanted to bump them together so i had to figure out how lol. i do wanna dip back into that verse eventually bc i just like the idea of sett being half a devil and also having a lil angel fascination. and also i like the idea that talon is very mad at him after trying to make a quick buck while also actively losing himself. makes for good (explosive) chemistry. there's already plot laid. UGHHHH high noon talon is SO COOL to think about from a story pov

Happy WBW! What part of your world would your protagonist (& others if you want) change? Aaaand go! ♥️

Hello tori, I apologize for your unanswered ask.

Let's see Tarnish wish that fateful night their parents have survived and will be at their side, helping them and guiding them.

Sometimes when they lay on their bed looking at the ceiling. They would imagine their parents teaching them how to hunt the supernatural. Cooking potions in the lab and one wrong mixture it will blow up on their face and them and their parents will laugh.

Then Tarnish will just cry in the night, thinking it will never come to be and its just a cruel tease for them.
