skills that are passed from one generation to the next” (MacLeod 13). Pierre Bourdieu explains this concept in his essay “Cultural Reproduction and Social Reproduction,” in attempt to describe the persistent nature of inequality. A child raised by a middle-class family is exposed to books, movies, music, theater, etc. that working-class parents cannot provide. The cultural knowledge gained from these experiences are essential for success in the American educational…

Introduction Over the course of this semester I have had the opportunity to volunteer at two events. The first was a field trip on the UNG campus in which South Hall Middle School came to tour the campus. During the field trip, I was stationed in the science center and was able to meet some of the students and discuss their future goals and ambitions in life. The second event was an Elementary Science Olympiad held at North Oconee High School. The students rotated between different stations in…

In the fifth grade, before I culminated, my fifth grade teacher asked our class ,with a kind heart, the only question that can give educators a sense of achievement;"What do you want to be when you grow up?" Of course, the typical answers bounced back and forth:"a lawyer", "a doctor", "an athlete". I thought to myself, "These are all boring careers and won 't allow me to become rich and anyone in life". So when it came to me, I replied "a drug dealer". Jaws dropped but I was more perplexed than…

From an early age I have been exposed to the benefits and triumphs available to someone who works as an educator. Coming from a family where both my parents were involved in Education has had a substantial impact on my career choices. My mother has been a Special Education Teacher, and my father an Educational Audiologist, for more than 30 years. I can remember walking over to mom’s classroom after most days in junior high and being enlisted to help out in some varying degree. Whether it was…

In What We Talk About When We Talk About Love by Raymond Carver we are shown a range of different themes, one being young love vs. old love. In these short stories, Carver illustrates his inner beliefs and possibly his own experiences of young and old love. Young love is immature, selfish and unable to communicate in a way that results in the couple separating while old love is unselfish, supportive and committed to someone who they see as the center of their universe and nothing less. In…

As Ben Franklin once said, “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.” Becoming involved was easy with the opportunities and chances that I was given at Gallimore Elementary School. One of the best memories and chances that I was given at Gallimore was when I was asked to become a classroom helper for Mrs. Miller in 4th and 5th grade. As a classroom helper I gave up my lunch and recess to help Mrs. Miller with anything she needed in the classroom such as filing,…

Depression in Old Age Introduction Often times, old age is viewed as a time of rest, reflection and a chance to really appreciate the family and friends one still has around them. Nevertheless, this is not always the case in many older adults. Depression and suicide are two causes of death that are increasing in prevalence for all age groups. They are also on the rise in a specific age group, that of older adults. Depression in elderly adults, although prevalent, is under-diagnosed and…

Aging of the Elderly An “elderly” person is a person who is 65 years old or older (Orimo, et al 2006). People are living until their 80’s and 90’s these days so the number of elderly people is increasing. The people who might need your caregiving help one day could be family members, neighbors, or church friends. The assistance could be very basic like phoning them weekly to check on them. On the other hand, the caregiving could be more complex and require you to handle their medical needs. It…

The middle class should be worried about themselves. The middle class claims that its unequal to them and the upper class gets whatever they want when in reality, the upper class really works for what they have. They know how to make money and the middle class does not. The middle class do not work for what they want that is why they are still stuck in the middle class. The middle class are uneducated on how to make money so they chose the easy way out and find a job that is not guaranteed for…
