Crocker’s argument is that many students in school do not get the same opportunity as other “Left Brain” students. For example artists and people that are unique or they are categorized as individualists do not have the same opportunity and they get denied by their school and their teachers and by that they get discouraged. His audience is people that are struggling with school and have not figured out what they want and they are not getting the support they need to do what they love. He also makes an argument that school does not determine your life, I agree with him and it is somewhat true. His argument is very valid, there are many students that get discouraged by their professors and schools and also schools don’t really help the students to figure out what to do and help them what they want to pursue. But I did not have the same experience in my high school because they were way more helpful and I think it was because they were an art school and they mostly focusing on art, but we got the highest score in education in Los Angeles, so we were also strong in the educational part. My school tired to really help us to choose a path that best suet us and we love. I think that they should let students change their major whenever they want, but that means they have to stay longer. Because most of the colleges make you choose a major after two years and many of students haven’t figured out their major yet, or many schools do not help the art students to get anywhere. They are pretty much on their own and they have to figure out ways to go where they want. His argument does reach and apply to the education level at the universities, because it concerns their student’s life and careers, also the universities need to teach and let their faculties and professors now that they need to be encouraging and willing to help all their students and it should not matter what their major, race, or sexuality, because from Chris Crocker’s situation seemed like it was mostly about his sexual orientation, because he told the viewers that his professors were very religious and they were kind of discussed by him. The connection between his video and the article because they are both about how students struggle in college and what problems they face and how colleges do not really help them to resolve their problems. My high school does not feel that different from college because we got to choose the classes that we wanted and needed and we were pretty much as free as we are in college except the difference is my high school tried to help us to find our major and career and they did not give us dead lines and get so much money from us. The only changes I needed to make is that I have to be on top of things my self and my teachers in college only repeat things once and I have to remember it my self, unlike in high school they do not repeat them self’s 50 times. But I liked his video even though I am not really a fan, but I support what he is saying, because I have seen people going through the same situation and I am in there my self.
