I grow up in a country, Afghanistan where monitories had no voice in the community, social gathering, and political aspects for so long time. They were being tortured in front of their families and friends. Minorities were always abandoned in countries where mostly one major color controlled all life’s aspects. Throughout the history, black people were being treated unequally in many countries of the world, especially in America. They were being tortured, discriminated, and were being killed…
them and their colleagues. They engage in a critical evaluation of the experience, construct a plan and then implement that plan with a view to improvement. Those engaged in educational theory control the knowledge they are creating from their own actions. In this way the knowledge is used to inform practice as opposed to the assumption that the knowledge provided is appropriate for any situation.

By the end of the nineteenth century, the Industrial Revolution had brought about tremendous change, such as the rapid urbanization of cities and development of social reforms. More importantly, it became the turning point in which the emergence of advanced machinery and modern industrial production made the U.S. one of the most economically powerful countries in the world. As the U.S. was exponentially expanding, the demand for labor workers — more specifically cheap labor — was increasing. A…
decades of the century the school board tried to keep up with the new reforming systems of other American cities while dealing with disputes between the Chicago Teachers Federation (CTF) and the corrupt political environment of the city.

This trend continued with his successors and caused teachers to become frustrated…
Affirmative action is a product of the Civil Rights Movement, in an attempt to give equal opportunities to all the people across America, mostly minorities and women. Even though the Civil Rights Movement did end segregation and attempted to give equality to minorities and women, it was not successful in doing so. Affirmative actions was the means in which minorities and women would have a better chance in the workplace as well as education to be given an equal chance in getting the job or…
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot in 1869 discovered Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (The ALS Association, 2015). ALS is more commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease after Lou Gehrig, a great American baseball player whose career unfortunately ended abruptly due to this incurable degenerative disease.

structured set of values. King believes that in order to solve his current crisis against racism, the minority should take action. This action does not necessarily need to be in numbers, but in value, voice, and demanding respect. Thoreau agrees with King on this, but takes it further. He believes anyone who disagrees with society -- essentially a minority -- needs to take action against it. Hulme however thinks that the ideals of society are the most powerful and should not be challenged…
Salt of the Earth was a theatrical drama directed by Herbert J. Biberman. The film was based on the actual strike against the Empire Zinc Mine in New Mexico. Its genre is a social realism and it was based on actual events. The movie has great ties to Malcolm Gladwell’s book David and Goliath, Underdogs, Misfits, and the art of battling giants. For instance just like Martin Luther King Jr. and his friends they had to overcome a giant in Sheriff Connor (Gladwell). The setting of the plot takes…
