"Back in my day..." The education system has changed quite a bit over the years, and job requirements with them. Employers all have their own way of filtering candidates, but what good is it to judge an applicant's worth based on simply having a degree or not if the degree doesn't apply to the job they're applying for? Why do retail workers and burger flippers have PhDs? Have degrees become too overrated and emphasized in this day and age? Join the Controcast with a new special guest debater as we discuss all of these things and more.

We know this is a difficult topic, but sometimes we need to ask the hard questions. We are neither condemning nor supporting abortions here, simply looking at the facts; in what ways can an abortion potentially save the lives of the parent? In what situations does it do more good than harm? Can Abortions actually be helpful? Join us as we discuss this difficult but important topic!

What is the purpose of prison? We aren't being cheeky, because this question is a large basis for our discussion this episode. Is prison just used as a punishment, or is it to protect good, law-abiding citizens from being hurt by criminals? Is it both? Regardless of the answer, should we be looking to tailor punishments to the crime instead of using prison as a catch-all for all crimes? Join the Controcast as we explore this maze of morality in crime and punishment.

Most schools in America, if they have a sex ed class, will place them as an optional parent approved class in middle school to have with children of the same assigned sex at birth. If this course were covered or incorporated into the curriculum like any other class, would that be better? Join the ControCast as we discuss the details of what such a class would look like, and if it might be better than the current system in place.
