Class discussion - Family is not relevant because of the diversity of households - friends as families. - Globalisation, no connection to family once moved away - Russia, as a part of the communist regime, briefly abolished families

If I'm not online and I don't travel, is globalisation even real for me? I don't think so.

I think education should be free. If it's absolutely essential for children to have an academic qualification, should it not be accessible to everyone and therefore free? Why should children from less developed economic backgrounds be deprived of their right to schooling? This prevents social mobility and widens the income gap between the wealthy and the poor. This also increases poverty rates and crime stats which consequently leads to a lack of social order and an unstable society. I believe primary education should be compulsory and free globally. There are no downsides to this. There are no cons to free education. Who would disagree?
