“Economic inequality has been on the rise in America for more than three decades” (Haskins & Kemple, 2009). Educational inequality is the difference in the learning or adequacy accomplished by students from different groups. Educational adequacy is measured by anything from grades and test scores, to drop out rates. Educational inequality is credited to the economic disparities that regularly falls along racial lines and in present day discussion about educational equality combines the two,…

Role of Government and Equal Education Opportunity Paper Education in America is primarily a state and local duty. These entities are responsible for establishing schools and colleges, establishing criteria for promotion and graduation, as well as providing a majority of financial support for schools. The federal government plays a minimal role in education, stepping in, along with the court system, to ensure equal access to education for all children and ensuring that students’ and educators’…

solutions that will protect the future generation from making life-altering mistakes. In addition to my long-term goals, I anticipate to attain a Masters degree and work full time in a social work related field while beginning my journey through law school. In the same fashion, I aspire to gain the knowledge to build a program that allows teenagers to express themselves freely without any judgment, while discovering effective ways to have parents of youth address issues of depression without…

Nevertheless, it still was more than enough to incur Washington's continued contempt for him. In the early summer of 1905 Washington went to Boston to address a rally. While speaking he was verbally assaulted by William Monroe Trotter ( a Harvard college friend of DuBois). The subsequent jailing of Trotter on trumped-up charges, apparently by Washingtonites, raised the wrath of DuBois. This incident caused DuBois to solicit help from others "for organized determination and aggressive action on…

“If white people need colleges to furnish teachers, ministers, lawyers, and doctors, do black people need nothing of the sort?” (Du Bois). Today, this question is a foregone conclusion for anyone. In the 1800’s and early 1900’s, this question might have been harder for some to answer correctly, not because they didn’t know the answer, but because their strong racial discrimination was standing in the way of common sense. William Edward Burghardt Du Bois dedicated his entire life to the…

that time I was not quite sure what field I was interested in. During my senior year in high school I was made aware that there was a major called “Sports Management”, and immediately became excited. Sports was and is something that I love, so why not mix work with what I love the most. Unfortunately, the university that I was going to attend did not have Sports Management in choices of majors. The college counselor informed me that ‘Business Management” would be a good start if I wanted to…

sit-ins became quite popular in the early 1960s against public areas that “exemplified Jim Crow-style racial separation” (qtd. Cunningham, 165). In February 1960, in Greensboro, North Carolina, four African American first year students at A & T College asked to be served at a segregated lunch counter. In this type of peaceful demonstration, the students approached the counter, were asked the be served, and if they were, they would move on, but if they were not served, the students would stand…

The world of foods and nutrition has changed greatly in recent years (Foods). Red meat, whole milk, and eggs are foods that doctors use to recommend. However, current studies have revealed these items are not truly healthy choices. Now doctors recommend leafy green vegetables, beans, whole grains, and fruits. With patience and the desire to help others, dietitians examine, treat, and plan diets for adults, as well as children with nutritional concerns. Many children struggle with obesity and…
