The social justice issue that I chose to write about is that of the education gap. There are huge discrepancies in the learning experiences among students who are supposed to be getting “equal” education.

Brown v Board of Education is a broad term used to reference five…

solving this issue falls upon our educational system and its counterparts. I think that if our country focuses on what it seems to be lacking in education, illiteracy can possibly be solved.

How does the history of the Native American in the U.S. compare with the values that stand at the foundation of the U.S. (freedom, liberty, equality)? History of Native Americans in the United States (US) is just as the history of most of indigenous peoples around the world. It might be described as a chronicle of violence, dispossession, and subjugation.
