Are University of California, Berkeley students babies for protesting 32% tuition hikes?

Tuition is something that THEY alone have to pay for as users of the "System".... its a sudden realization that nothing is free. Health care also will cost them, but they don't see the impact of this cost . Possibly because health care cost are spread across a larger pool of people or considered to be paid by everyone.

Suddenly as students facing an increase in tuition they become a member of a targeted class asked to pay the brunt of the costs. The parallel is like targeting the "RICH" to pay more tax etc which they consider OK. They don't like it when the shoe is on the other foot and they are now being asked to step up and pay.... Some may call this hypocrisy.

You don't. Most students are young; most are covered by their parents' plans, or don't have an immediate need for health care (colleges have clinics for students who need medical attention). The tuition hikes are going to hurt them next semester (as are the class reductions and other cuts to education).

They're in college in large part in order to have better futures. If they're forced out of college due to tuition hikes, it hurts them for the rest of their lives. It's an emergency.

Few are in an emergency state with respect to health care costs. I have no idea what you're referring to -- saying "granted" before something doesn't make it TRUE. Anyway, all that said, I have no reason to assume that NO student who has protested tuition hikes has weighed in on health care reform.

In fact, I have good reason to think at least some HAVE.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
