This is important because it shows how they were denied equal rights. One method they used to try to integrate schools is peacefully protest. For example, people would walk around shouting and marching to try and bring awareness to there cause. This is important because the protests started to bring awareness and eventually schools became integrated. Clearly, During the Civil Rights era African Americans were treated unequal.
Whenever a person is going through a situation in their life, or is in a particular setting; if they listen to a certain piece of music a few times, this piece will then be connected to that atmosphere. When they decide to listen to that piece again, they will remember the particular setting they were in. This experience is the most powerful one. The ability to backtrack to a moment in your life through music is something that is really quite beautiful. This is why certain pieces are associated with certain events.
Many people may argue to this statement, but we are here to show that there are studies that show it, the students know that you have to have good grades to be in sports/extracurricular activities. Having good grades can lessen stress about affording college and give you opportunities for scholarships. Most colleges and coaches would rather have student with good grades becauses it shows that you are a more committed student and harder worker. Do you want to be that athletic that never cared about their grades only sports? Your grades prove you are able to equally balance academics and athletics, just like a balanced teeter totter.
All the work of leaders and civil rights movement activist would be vain. Martin Luther king jr and Malcolm X’s deaths would have also been vain. People worked hard to insure integration and equality and it would be terrible if none of their teachings and efforts would have been applied. Instead of having the same rights and uses of materials in schools like Thurgood Marshall helped fight for, society would have to deal with one race being superior there for receiving better school material. When segregation was legal blacks received the worst material to study and get their education therefore they had an inferior education.
At Indiana University, “the study found that whites pre-existing negative racial attitudes predicted which roommates arrangements would break-up.” I seem to find to this finding true. In many cases whites who grew up in predominately white environments tend to stick with their strong biases and stereotypes of any ethnic group because of how they we’re raised. I am not speaking for all because then I myself would be stereotyping, but most of them are taught to associate negativity with people of color, not only African Americans. This is not only due to what they’re taught by their parents, family members, or peers, but also through media. The results from the University of California at Los Angeles findings surprised me to say the least and also educated me.
There is a lack of funding for public schools, the conditions inin predominately black/Hispanic schools is pitiabledeplorable, the teachers in many cases are have inept “too strong?” with minimum experience, and overall, there is an unwillingness to confront these issues. Nonetheless, it is possible to provide a remedy to this problem by increasing funding not only in schools and the public education system but also in minority communities where the poverty cycle continues. “Honored leaders (Martin Luther King Jr, Thurgood Marshall, Rosa Parks, etc.) of the integration struggles produced temporary progress.” (footnote?) There is an imaginary wall between whites and blacks as seen in the HBO documentary, Little Rock Central 50 Years Later.
Today racial inequality still exists. Education differs greatly in white communities as it does in black communities. This is because of de-facto segregation. Groups of different races or ethnicities tend to want to stay together in a community. This splits up schools racially because of it.
In the second article, “A Growing Sense of Entitlement,” Navarrette argues that parents have instilled a sense of entitlement in their children because they have spoiled them and have neglected to instill hard working values in them. He also argues that students believe they should be entitled to receiving a better grade but they do not put in full effort and study required to reach them. This article can relate to Neusner because both
The government controls everything dealing with education. They came up with a system to help support the migrant children but it is still mainly about money when it comes down to it. What Han is also referring to in the government that they have hidden cost in the school system which is a burden on migrant workers and their families. Like for migrant schools they get money from the migrant workers and not the help of the government. Education is one of the biggest problems that migrant workers face because they are considered low class.
They face discrimination through segregation. Segregation is the action of setting someone apart from other people or things. How would it fell to be different every single day of your live no to be able to go to the same park as a white man not to be able to sit on the same bench as a white man? African American had come a long way. Segregation separated blacks to enter better schools such as the public schools.
