    Mary Ann Glendon's Chapter Summary

    Where we come from is a huge part of shaping the development of our character and personality. In reading Lasch’s chapter, “Racial Politics in New York,” it reminded me of Peggy McIntosh’s hypothetical line of social justice. In sum, she argues that race, along with many other factors (race, class, gender, religion, sexuality), can serve as determinate of what side of the line you are on. Whites tend to be on the top with privilege and blacks on the bottom with disadvantage. Thus, one could conclude that two different developments of character and personality arise. Due to the environment that whites are in, they possess qualities of success, opportunity, and good education. Whereas blacks, due to the environments they are exposed to are qualities of crime, violence, and poor education. Therefore, I could argue that although Sleeper is correct when he argues that New York should stress the problem of class divisions as opposed to racial divisions, I believe those class divisions result from racial inequality. However, within that state, although there is social inequality, Lasch would defend that we must commit to being respecting, self-reliant, and responsible, or else we truly have no chance in equalizing or advancing our democratic society. With a heavy emphasis on inequality comes to the challenge of how to approach education and what should be taught in the classroom. Lasch argues that with the…

    Sadker's 'Failing At Fairness: How Our Schools Cheat Girls'

    “Hidden Lessons” is an excerpt taken from Myra Sadker’s and David Sadker’s book Failing at Fairness: How Our Schools Cheat Girls. Education is highly affected with sexism and favoritism of boys over girls. It is said that teachers and their gender bias are the main cause for most of female students’ problems. The authors share a study about evidencing those unconscious scenes of sexism which came up with expected but sad results. These behaviors were extremely elusive at plain sight yet definitely existed. Dateline, a TV show from NBC, helped spread the mentioned study and raise…

    Julie Helling Theory

    In an educational world that is still dominated by predominately white teachers, it is unsurprising that Julie Helling would write an article based on her experiences dealing with students who are overcoming racism on a daily basis. The theory behind her article is that students of color have less energy to devote to studies because they are dealing with racist comments and racial discrimination in their daily lives, while white students have all the energy in their capabilities to devote to their studies. She backs her theory with her own recounting of classroom discussions and her talks with her students, as well as her attendance at lectures.…

    Summary Of The Revenant

    the author makes three main arguments that "The Revenant" is not simply a film about a man left for dead who wanders the American frontier in search of his son's killer; but rather, an examination of the relationship between the violence seen within nature and the violence caused by mankind, the progression of Hugh Glass and his relationship with the natural world (his ‘rebirths’ from the dirt, the water, the trees and the animal), and the parallels between each member of the Glass family and the Holy Trinity of Christianity. For example, violence in the natural world is seen to only have two purposes: protection of one’s offspring and killing for food (as evidenced by the bear attack and wolves hunting the bison).The violence of mankind diverts…

    In this paper, I will state my reaction on two videos, Eye of the Storm and A Class Divided.

I definitely agree with Elliott in her process of teaching people the importance of ethnicity and discrimination.…

    Did the 1920s Roar?

    When people think of the 1920’s they think of a time of prosperity. Although due to Canadians not experiencing greater levels of equality the 1920’s did not in fact roar. The injustice felt by the Native people was a direct result of inequality and discrimination by the Canadian government. According to ‘A Day at Indian Residential Schools In Canada’ living in these Residential schools was a complete nightmare. Only 2 hours of education, hard labor, malnutrition and a strapping if you had done something wrong. As well the Canadian government “attempted to ‘protect’ Native peoples from White society, but intended to assimilate them at the same time” (Fielding, Evans 98). The short/long term effects were devastating, families were broken, children were isolated and cultures were divided. This shows how Native peoples were treated unjust, just by sending them to reserves in the first place to be assimilated and protect by White society. Secondly although women were gaining equality and they were rebelling in a way they were still not deemed equal to men. A type of newfound woman was called the ‘Flapper’, they bobbed their hair, shower more skin, smoked and drank as well they even drove cars and kept their jobs they took from men when the war ended. According to Agnes Mcphail, “A woman’s place is anywhere she wants to be” (Bardswich and Fryer 16-17). Agnes was the first female member of the Canadian House of Commons, and she did gain some levels of independence for woman but not all women. Lastly immigrants coming to Canada for a better life only received worse treatment than before including many immigrants from Europe and Asia. Acts such as the Chinese Immigration Act prohibited all Chinese immigrants except diplomats, students, children of Canadians, and an investor class. According to ‘The Immigrant Experience’ fewer than 800 South Asians entered Canada during the 1920s (Fine-Meyer 14-17).…

    Sexism In Classroom

    Sexism In Classroom

    Sexism is another stereotype that is created in the classroom that can have social and academic effects on individuals. Research shows that an oppressive classroom environment impairs learning and academic performance for students oppressed with identities (Pitman, 2010). Sexism in education occurs at an early age. While children of both sexes typically play together, as they get older they spend less and less time playing with children of the opposite sex. When students are lined up according to gender, teachers are stating that boys and girls should be treated differently. When different behaviors are acceptable for boys and not girls because boys will be boys, schools and administrators continue the oppression of girls. Teachers tend to associate girls as being feminine and are praised for being calm, neat, and quiet, whereas boys are encouraged to be self-thinkers, participate, and speak up. By the time students have completed 12 years of schooling, the achievement gap has widened. Females, who generally outperformed the males in their early school years, now trail on all subsections of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and the American College Testing Program Examination (ACT), with the greatest discrepancies surfacing in the math and science areas (Dauber,…

    Race In Education Sociology

    To many, race is political. It’s something to re-blog or debate in Facebook comments. The sad truth, though, is that race is still an enormous issue in our society. Race is a part of our identity, and whether or not we are aware, it affects each and every one of us. Racial issues are particularly important in education because schools and teachers play a significant role in the socialization of children. In the field of education, a person’s race can play a bigger role than they may realize. Disparities in the field of education amongst lower-income school districts are particularly commonplace.…
