   I like the topic you chose. I think it is very prominent in todays world and needs to be talked about more. With that being said, I feel like you need to also mention the fact that many graduate students can go into debt because of the fact that their loans are too much to pay off and their jobs don’t pay them enough to cover the loans plus the cost of living.

   Hi azntaco, I think you have a good idea to research but I think you need to rework your conclusion. The phrase “out in the real world” is similar to what we discussed in class as it a general statement without much meaning. The real world is very different to each person. This could be more specific and have more details relating to how erasing student debt would decreases stress. Maybe the stress relieved from erasing student debt would translate to a higher tax which in return would add the stress back.

   The points you make are really good. Maybe you could combine some of these points with #6 to make your point more clear. You could do something like, instead of saying just decrease the amount of stress, mention again that it would lower suicide and crime rates by decreasing stress. Also maybe you could mention the part about specifically lowering those with low incomes’ student loans as well, in the beginning of the hypothesis.

   I agree with your conclusion and position, but I think this does not really address what disagreement others would have. Opponents of student debt forgiveness don’t tend to disagree that having burdens of thousands of dollars lifted from a graduate’s shoulders will reduce their stress and increase their success, they just argue it has other bad side effects or make arguments about “fairness” and “justice”. I find those arguments weak already, but it’s one thing for that to be the position you or I assume is correct and another thing for you or I to PROVE whether or not these counterarguments and side effects are of legitimate concern, and for any of those arguments that hold water to PROVE that they do not outweigh the benefits that student loan forgiveness would provide.

   What a fascinating idea, Taco. This will broaden out quickly from the very narrow “bedroom door” detail to all sorts of contemporary arguments about our need for, right to, desire for, insistence on our “right to privacy.” You’re suggesting we sacrifice some of that supposed “right” in return for social and personal benefits.

   Again, there may not be a single academic source on “leaving the bedroom door open,” but you probably understand that by now. There are thousands on “privacy.”

   That said, your language is really confusing:
   1. Leaving bedroom door open
   2. Leaving the bedroom door open at all times allows one to be less insecure.
   It’s a psychological effect when you think somebody is watching you which allows one to be more on guard
   3. It’ll help to interact with people since you won’t be in you’re enclosed space. You won’t be shutting people out. When the door is shut, you basically shut people out of your life.
   4. Leaving the bedroom door open allows you to react faster in case of an emergency.
   5. When you leave your bedroom door open limits the amount of “stuff” one can do which allows you to have more confidence.

   You use allows in 3 out of 5 steps. In one step, you use the word twice. Any thoughtful reader will be confused by your uses. For example, who would want to “allow” herself to be “less insecure” and “more on guard”? What in fact does it mean to be “less insecure”? Grammatically, it means “more secure,” but you can’t mean both “more secure” and “more on guard.” So . . . ?

   And then . . . how does being more guarded about, I guess, secretive things I might do behind a closed door give me more confidence?

   Intrigued but completely confused by your work here. Answer my questions before you ask for more feedback. But definitely ask for more feedback.
