1. What Does It Mean To Be Ethnicly, Economically And Educationally Disadvantaged?

I have privileges unfathomable to family back in Mexico, and my mother warned me against taking these privilege for granted. Being born in America did not make me American, she told me, being First Generation American would present seemingly unbearable challenges. She offered advice that I followed to the letter until our first name was not the only thing we shared, until the voice inside my head was replaced with my mother’s.

“Mom, will I ever be treated as a regular person? When will I be like the others without people look at me in a strange way and make fun of me, when mom? When?” Those were the questions I did to my mom almost every day after getting home from school. Fourteen years ago that my parents brought me to this country offering a better life with better opportunities than where I was born. I was seven years old when came to the United States, but I still remember the happiness I felt when I first step in this country. Throughout the years, I have realize that not everything is easy and simple as I imagined. My parents worked in the fields because of the lack of a social security and not knowing how to speak English. Many Americans do not know how hard it is the life of an immigrant, they should have a consideration for us and not just blame us for the deviance of the United States.

Racial and ethnic health disparities plays a significant role when it comes to those living in a what is considered a low- economic community because people are more susceptible to poor air quality, high blood pressure related to stress, and violence. Inaccessibility to healthy foods forces people to have to eat unhealthy and struggle with the risk that can lead to obesity or high cholesterol down the road (Noonan, A et al ,2016). Also social racism with having limited income, and education can cause people to act out in a negative way due to being frustrated and can cause one to act out in a violent way which can cause a spike in crime. So much can be done to strengthen low economic communities such as re-opening schools in the neighborhood,

The Cambridge Dictionary of Sociology defines inequality as ‘the unequal distribution of opportunities, rewards, and power among and between individuals, households and groups’(1). It goes on to say that ‘the subfield of social stratification has as its main task the description and analysis of inequalities, or the makeup of the stratification system of any given society’.(1) From this one definition, we can already begin to see the strong links that lie between inequalities and social stratification. As we delve deeper into the topics, we can begin to see both the inevitability and the functionality of stratification

Americans can never experiences the hardships and struggles that an immigrant experiences, at least not in the same type of context. Many authors describe the way American born citizens alienate immigrants: lowering their standards, taking away opportunities, and downright judging them for any reason that can be found. In Firoozeh Dumas’ memoir Funny in Farsi, and Pat Mora’s poem “Legal Alien” many descriptions of the struggles to live to what they are worth in America are shown. Being viewed as unworthy, and not amounting to what they truly should be—these are just small examples of what Dumas and Mora describe life as an immigrant in America. From the other sided view of things, in Richard Crowson’s political cartoon “Great American Melting

Growing up in the US as an immigrant, my childhood was a little different from most people’s. I faced many struggles due to the differences in cultures, social, and economics. However, I was able to overcome all those challenges and become a more humble, responsible, and determined individual because of my ability to adapt quickly, be compassionate, and stay goals-oriented.

Higher expectations by first-generation immigrant parents also involve as intergenerational conflict in forming the American identity. In the article “Intergenerational

I would like to address that being the child of first-generation immigrants is harder than it seems, especially when they have yet to assimilate to modern American values despite being surrounded by them for twenty years. Not only are they stuck in the traditional Turkish lifestyle, but they are ill-informed in regards to basic vocabulary, pronunciation, and mechanics. As a result of this, my older sister and I are forced

Over the centuries America has seen many immigrants like Mexicans, Africans, Asians, Indians and etc. making their lives here. But most of these minority groups existing in our society have suffered denial and injustice not only in the past, but it is still prevalent. Most of these immigrants saw this new world as a place to start their lives but instead they have faced harsh

Multiple factors contribute to racial inequality. Under those circumstances, many people have this belief that a particular ethnic group is superior compared to others. For instance, Berlin states, “white people set black people apart socially and ideologically. The belief that people of African descent were somehow different, if not in origins then certainly by experience and perhaps by nature.” For this reason, racism is different in different parts of the world. Different cultures teach different values to their citizens. Ultimately, fear of different ethnic groups could cause racial inequality from the 1500s to the present, ethnocentrism is the main cause because it is expressed in different ways in the United States, countries teach

On this assignment I 'm going to be referring to poverty, since it leads down different roads. Poverty can lead to health issues, lack housing, of income, employment, malnutrition, lack of education and many more that will be explained on this paper.

Socioeconomically disadvantaged people have the worse health outcomes than other Australians. Socioeconomically disadvantaged people are shown to be less educated which will mean they are less able to make correct decisions about their health, and due to their lack of knowledge, individuals will have limited employment options which will result in a lower income level, higher risk of unemployment, and have high risk jobs like construction. This leads to the socioeconomically disadvantaged people to be at higher risk of health inequalities due to their lower income levels as opposed to people who have better access to health care services and resources who are typically shown as healthier than people who don’t have the same access, opportunities or financial stability. This also means the socioeconomic disadvantage has less money to spend on their health.
