Alan Brown Dr. Rasnic English 1301 November 8, 2016 In Earl Shorris’ essay, On the Uses of Liberal Education, Shorris asks the question of what makes a person poor or not and what actions can be taken to reverse this. At first glance, we see that Shorris discusses the lack of education in poor areas. He originally began writing a book about the poverty in the U.S but after his experience behind the walls of a disciplinary institution, his view on poverty expanded. During his experience, he met…

structure. But this seems odd, that Nozick would refute a society that offers public education to individuals. Public education is the one of the productive areas that is to thank when talking about wealth. The right to education is an essential right that needs to be fostered by the State because not everyone has the luxury to pay for it. Education is such an important need, but Nozick is not arguing that education is unjust instead he is referring to the act of having some other individual pay…

good grades and demonstrating a tremendous interest in learning; however, when I became the victim of bullying incidents in high school, my academic progress was stifled. After high school, I felt that I needed time to determine my direction in education and in life before entering college; therefore, I worked until I was 20, when I began my studies at Nassau Community College (NCC). Although I enjoyed returning to an academic environment, I was still searching for my calling, and the extensive…

stated how you have to go for it and sometimes that means that you take a different path than those around you. He shows that to his students by having a giant slide run through his school. Ron Clark also talks about how we should stop dumbing down education so that the students who are below level get it. But instead we need to expect more out of every students and push them to achieve as much as a gifted student. He stated the quote that “equal does not mean fair” which has come up a lot…

After reading this chapter, I have no choice but agree with the Author in his assessment on how the text books that American children have been using for generation, provide them of an incomplete and unrealistic view of history. For some children history is “a boring subject, full of old stories about old people” (my 5th grader cousin’s opinion); Views like this are the result of the ambiguous and confusing information found on text book. On textbooks, the image of American historical figures,…

with varied approaches. These include: history, critical thinking, civil dialogue, and the use of digital media. Each project will challenge participants’ assumptions and world perspectives about current issues. They range from the development of museum exhibit and documentary about the struggle of a local community to integrate an elementary school. Another examines the issue of arming public school teachers. Additional projects examine ecological concerns, another look at local agricultural…

role of parent’s transmission of cultural capital onto their children and the impact of such on educational success. While it is possible for first-generation college students to come from a high income family, it is unlikely that their adolescent education parallels that of continuing-generation students. As stated by Dumais, “the acquisition of cultural capital and subsequent access to academic rewards depend upon the cultural capital passed down by the family, which in turn, is largely…

become anything we want, and that we are the upcoming leaders of society. However, if this is true, why is there such a lack of early childhood education in South Carolina? To be the future leaders that this state is in need of, children have to be prepared. Studies show that children grasp the most between age’s two to five, but there is an absence of education opportunities for kids that age. Children cannot be expected to achieve great things for our state if they are not supported. These…

Perhaps the most interesting factor in determining the success of a child in their education is the cultural experiences they are able to obtain. The cultural experiences a child is able to obtain is called their cultural capital. According to Bourdieu, cultural capital is “cultural practices or dispositions a person acquires often through disguised or hidden ways that realize profits in the economic field primarily through ensuring academic success” (Madigan 121). Cultural capital can manifest…
