My Idea toward the Episode 05 - Food Fight
Every person I know agrees with the fact that the World is not only organized with one perspective or topic but quilted and weaved with the variety of such substances. This is the reason why every inquiry appears among the topics, while each controversy adds public conflicts. Especially, one's different perspective on a topic establishes a serious difference among the group members, like the Bowdoin College in Maine and Vassar College in New York. Their main difference which Malcolm Gladwell points out is the different quality of food in their cafeteria.
What Gladwell emphasizes, is that the quality of food indicates the ratio of a student aid of the corresponding college. As he supports his opinion by stating the ratio of economical usage on both menu and curriculum of both colleges. He stated that under the limited quantity of finance, quality of food and curriculum inverses, as Bowdoin and Vassar shows the opposite case of finance distribution; Bowdoin, 19th rank by Forbes, has an outstanding quality of foods while Vassar, 33rd rank by Forbes, has a mediocre quality of foods.

However, Malcolm asserts that one should not go to Bowdoin, because of their low-distributed budget on financial Aids. Despite that Malcolm is on the side of the poor, I partially cannot agree to his logical structure because of the following reason.
What the college mainly attach importance is the development of environments for students. Even though Malcolm Gladwell's statement to accept more student who lacks financially but not in ability is morally right, reduction of financial distribution for the investment of improved school environment cannot be easily renounced.
Therefore, I believe that the expansion of the total budget is the only way to solve such problems. Because the college takes the limited amount of students, such money can be only earned by donation and government's financial supports. Because donation can be large in quantity but irregular in frequency, I state that the U.S. government should directly support such morally right actions in financially direct ways.
