Cargo's Lack Of Free Education

Decent Essays
Cargo means the resources and goods, a huge wealth gap has showed between the white and black people. In the movie “Gun, Germs, and Steel” each villager has a responsible to make sure everyone get feed each meal, the kids don’t go to school, the women don’t get proper education, and the men are only responsible to hunt. The problem is they don’t have the solution to solve their problem, nowadays no one would hire someone without no life skill, we now don’t need to hunt to eat since we have farm, we don’t need to cut down trees to get protein in it, but the ultimate reason why we have all resources is because we have a government to support each child to get educated no matter you are a male or female, each American citizen have free education

    In Henry Louis Gates essay Forty Acres and a gap in Wealth, Henry determines the causes of such inequalities nowadays and tries to provide ways to reduce them. “We can’t afford to wait any longer to address the causes of persistent poverty among black families”, I agree with this statement because we need to start taking action now because once it starts getting out of hand than who is aware of when it’s going to stop. Poverty has increased dramatically over the past decade in the American society, so if people were to say that it’s totally the black people no one cares about them, that’s the matter with our society, it’s all a bunch of people that just cares regarding themselves. It isn’t only black people, which might be residing in poverty,…

    The Harvest Gypsies is a collection of articles written by John Steinbeck in 1936 about the migrant workers and the lifestyle they lived.

They came across to outsiders as ignorant and dirty and a threat to the crops if they refused to work.…

    Wang Lung and his family move to the South in search of food and work but instead they find vast economic and social differences between the wealthy and the poor.

Buck Wang Lung is a beggar that can only feed off the scraps of the rich, “ He lived in the rich city as alien as a rat in a rich man’s house…” Similarly, the widespread movement of people going South is very alike to the Syrian refugee crisis going on now in Europe.

    Impacts of Change From the Yir Yoront and the Nuer of Sudan, I have drawn that culture means a lot more than Eric Lassiter defined in his book an Invitation to Anthropology. He explains culture as “a shared and negotiated system of belief among a group of people” . While this is a very correct definition of culture, I don’t think this explains culture as wide and as intricate as it is. Through the different cultural groups we have read about, we see that it is the way we eat, dress, talk, walk, live, it’s the way we interact within our groups and with groups we have not encountered before and so much more.…

    During the 19th century, America was faced with the problem of poverty. Two of the groups experiencing poverty were immigrants and African Americans. When immigrants came over to America, most were unequipped with the skills necessary to adapt and become “American,” resulting in them living in their ethnic communities in the poorer areas and being unable to get out of poverty. On the other hand, African Americans faced poverty because of the effects of slavery and racial discrimination. Reformers and self-advocates attempted to help these two communities.…

    Closing the racial wealth gap is something that is important to many individuals, and according to Patrick McCarthy and Sara Johnson (2016) writing an article that points out the effects of the gap and how to fix the gap seems like a simple way to guide those in need. Both McCarthy and Johnson noted that many of the individuals that are suffering are individuals of color that do not having savings to fall back on. They are also living under federal government restrictions that are increasing the odds of not achieving the American dream of owning a home. However, for many Whites not having savings or federal restrictions are unknown, which gives Whites an advantage over individuals of color with having their American dream.…

    The topic of slavery has been a divisive issue throughout history and has been the root of much conflict between individuals, groups and indeed nations.

Engerman and other various economic commentators, critics and historians, slavery will be looked at through both a short and long-term perspective as it relates to the…
