One of the biggest ones is the effect of money coming into the school or education system is overrated and not enough to make a difference in our education system. The first argument that is being made is where the money is going. They complain that only parts of its going into education and not the whole thing. There are many states that prove this idea wrong including Michigan and Vermont who put 100% of their gains from the lottery back into public education. Also in Ohio, when lottery funds were put into education they actually shrunk actual state funding used towards education.
They weren’t allowed to live near white people in the cities so they lived in ghettos, completely segregated from the rest of the world. The prices were also through the roof for houses and flats for African Americans. All of these things would have been normal but would still have been even more disappointing in the south. This is because of the great migration. The black people moved from the south for a better life in the north and when they got there they found that the treatment was not up to the standard they had imagined.
88 tracts had at least 1% African American population, and only 4 were above 50%, with none being above 61%. Spear also describes how African Americans were discriminated against during the turn of the 20th century. He tells of how real estate agents were often told by whites in a neighborhood to not sell to African Americans. If African Americans were already living in a ‘white neighborhood’, whites often attempted to band together and buy out the African Americans, and if that failed, they sometimes resorted to intimidation. It was also very difficult for an African American to get a job as anything but an unskilled laborer.
1. Introduction Zappos was founded by Nick Swinmurn in 1999. The initial inspiration came when he couldn’t find a pair of brown Airwalks at his local mall. That same year, Swinmurn approached Tony Hsieh and Alfred Lin with the idea of selling shoes online. At that time "footwear in the US is a 40 billion dollar market and 5% of that is already being sold by paper mail order catalogs," Hsieh and Lin decided to invest $500,000 through their investment firm Venture Frogs.
The truancy policy in many states is different. In Ohio, students that have fifteen unexcused absences will not be promoted to the next grade. In Georgia, however, students that have ten unexcused absences will lose their driver's license. "We know [truancy is] a problem in Georgia and directly impacts the long-term growth of students and their future earning potential. Workers without a high school diploma earn about $21,000 a year in Georgia, compared to $26,000 for those with a diploma and $43,000 from college graduates," one administrator said.
People are starting to believe that smart phones are a necessity because of the various services that they supply. If these services are unavailable even for a day, most smart phone owners wouldn’t know how to function without them. In fact, in October 2011, Blackberries all over the world stopped working for three days, causing near rioting in the streets. Furthermore, even though these new devices are luxuries, they are not all necessities. Thanks to GPS systems people no longer know how to read maps and don’t ask for directions.
Not only would they not survive, but it wasn’t very helpful to their lives later on because they fell into debt so there wasn’t much point of it. Some of the laws that were enforced included one that allowed blacks to stand for election and to vote but it then got taken away and didn’t help and the equality was still very poor. In the 1930’s although 50% of the population of Southern towns were black, they had no vote and could not marry whites. Segregation meant that blacks had to have their own schools, their own
Now, everyone is allowed to vote and many people still don’t. Back when there was no Voting Rights Act, so before 1965, white people were trying to stop blacks from voting, thinking that they were not smart enough, or too poor to vote. Now, seeing that only 59.7% of people vote, counting blacks, that shows that if black people still were not able to vote, that number would be even lower(4). In Turkey, 84% of people made it out of there house and to the voting polls. (4) In Belgium, 87% of people were able to get up and vote.
Another provision, known as Section 203 or the Bilingual Election Requirements, forces hundreds of jurisdictions nationwide to print ballots in languages other than English-an expensive and divisive practice. Neither section should be reauthorized, but Congress may find it difficult to do the right thing. Section 5 was included in the original Voting Rights Act in 1965 because many Southern states consistently changed their voting laws and procedures to keep blacks from voting. In 1965, for example, only about 6% of blacks in Mississippi were registered to vote, having been subjected to literacy tests, poll taxes, intimidation and even death threats to prevent them from voting. Yet only two years after Congress passed the act, some 60% of eligible black voters were
Slavery was the main reason why the North and South divided and went to war. In the North they did not rely upon slavery economically where the South did through farming. Another factor to why the South lost was because of their lack of industrial capabilities to aid them during war. The North had factories and mills where weapons and supplies could have been built easily whereas the South could not keep up as there industry was very weak. The following essay will discuss these issues in detail plus other factors such as the leaderships on both sides and the aid of foreign support.
