Education In Education

education really important? As a result, it lead to people not being able to read, write, and not being able

In this paper, I will explore the aspects regarding racial inequality pertaining to education in the United States of America. It has come to my attention, based on my observations, that race is a definitive factor that plays a role in establishing socioeconomic status. In relation to socioeconomic status, variables correlating with race that I will be focusing on, is the educational and wealth aspects. An individual’s level of education is pivotal to establishing stable, consistent wealth and vice-versa; the access for quality education is inconsistent primarily among minority races/ethnicities. According to historical records ranging from the year 1980 to 2000, between Whites, Hispanics, African-Americans, and Native Americans, the educational attainment gap is widening (Kelly 2005). Education is seen to be a source of respect and key to gaining a higher income, which transfers over to greater wealth. Acknowledging the slow expansion of the educational attainment disparities, I argue that the society’s perceptions and actions addressing race perpetuates and produces social inequalities by limiting opportunities despite “equal” resources, privileges, and rights through social policies that have contributed towards the quality of America’s education system.

Education, gives us the key to the future, it allows us to see the world, and comprehend it. Education isn't ordinary, it's an idiosyncratic weapon; even though it's a weapon, it wasn't design to kill. It was designed to allow any human being to change the world and shows them the truth. Put them on a path that gives the user unlimited knowledge but how they obtain it and use it, will all depend on the user. Education allows you to push others so they can see a new future or how to change it and turn it to the best instead of being the worst.

John Locke, a social contract theorist, says that mankind is equal and independent and “no one ought to harm another of his life, health, liberty or possessions.” When humans enter into a society and form a contract, which leads to government, Locke holds that it is the job of the government to take on the responsibility of protecting the life, liberty and property of its inhabitants; however, the US government failed to protect these rights for Black Americans affected by slavery. Adam Smith, an economist and political theorist, believed that the government should defend and be proprietors of justice. The American government’s purpose, for Smith and Locke, is to promote justice through flourishing ; specifically economic flourishing for Smith. Sadly, history reveals that this was not the circumstance. During the 1700’s, America was one of several countries to embrace chattel slavery. Though slavery is no longer legal in the US, its effects have still rippled the waters of history. Today America stands on trial. It is guilty of failing to fulfill its role as a government by promoting flourishing. Slavery and segregation in the United States have impeded the economic flourishing amongst Black American communities. History and literature will serve as evidence of this crime in exploring the impact of slavery and segregation in education, familial structure and economics.

The reason that we have an education today is because of the civil war. If we didn't have basic human rights then we wouldn't have an education. Thankfully the Northern states won, and because of the Northern states we have human rights which allows us to go to school and learn. If we did not have human rights, none of us would be this educated today. So, basically the Civil War is the reason why we are as smart as we are. Having an education is very important, because without a proper education, you will not be able to accomplish many things in your lifetime that you may want

Textbooks, teachers, and proud historians preached false facts on how America’s society was founded on ideals of democracy and equality. In reality, the truth was hidden beneath prejudice whites and the subordinated blacks that had no voice. Those were the same blacks that shaped many of the aspects in Americans lives since the 16th century. America’s foundation was not built upon liberty and mutual respect for all human beings, but instead upon a racial system of oppression, and inequality constructed solely to benefit white Americans. But knowledge like this was not taught, especially to blacks. Their educational systems constantly created deeper deception on their people, culture, and heritage. Blacks along with other races were not being

African Americans have been systematically discriminated against since the advent of slavery over 200 years ago and still continue to be oppressed. Slavery created the ideology that Whites were superior to African Americans, because slaves were seen as property and not as human beings (O’Connell 2012). Following this sentiment, African Americans were not allowed to receive an education, let alone learn how to read. These slaves were dependent on their slave owners for the total well being of themselves, as well as their families. This dependency has created a cycle of poverty that has spiraled into the 21st century, affecting heavily populated areas of minority communities. While there is poverty among all Americans, Black Americans suffer from poverty rates highly disproportionate to White Americans (O’Connell 2012).

Today, as well as throughout its past, America has been viewed as one of the most productive and wealthiest nations in the civilized world. While this status is a result of many different factors, there is one undeniable component to this reputation; slavery. Other than slavery, there have various examples of blacks being systematically denied opportunities for gaining wealth and upward mobility. These examples include racist economic policies at the hands of the government, predatory mortgage agreements by white entrepreneurs, and violent anti-black demonstrations by white mobs.

Education is important to be able to make informed decisions, draw conclusions from stimuli around you, and make responsible choices for not just you but the people your choices will affect. Being educated on certain topics such as the world around you will make your life easier to navigate and persuade people to agree with you. Human nature is to look up to and follow your superiors, or in this case the educated people that you admire to show you the right and wrong way to think or do something. Those people we look up to are people like: Doctors, professors, scientists, parents, media people and more. All of who we trust because they are more educated on a certain topic. Being an educated person will also do you well in the workforce which ties into being a productive citizens which are both responsibilities we possess as

Education is a very important aspect of the lives of all people all over the world. What we learn, not just in the classroom, shapes who we are. We take our education everywhere we go. We use it when talking to our buddies about sports or music, we use it while solving a math problem, we use our education while debating with our family whether or not we should watch TV or go to the movies. Our education is the foundation of who we are, since every decision we make and every thought we think is dependent on what we know. Imagine how different the world would be if everyone craved learning to such a degree that at lunch tables all over the world the topic of conversation isn't who likes who, or how drunk

     There are some circumstances where special educational aspects are a necessity in a certain region, but education is not global. In most developed countries a lawyer would be considered an educated person, but if a lawyer was sent to a more primitive society he would be lost. A farmer educated in cultivation in Nebraska could nourish himself indefinitely, but take away his farm and he has nothing but the knowledge of farming. There are certain things that a person must know in order to have the power to survive in a chosen society. These things change with regards to the society at hand. In more developed places it is pertinent that you know how to read. Without this skill a person will remained severely uninformed, disconnected, and uneducated. The ability to read is the stepping stone to self-education. A literate person with motivation and knowledge of construction can become successful with very little institutionalized education. This skill, as it applies to American social culture, is the most important attribute of an education. Without the ability to read, a person would have to either settle for an extremely unskilled job, grow their own food, or resort to thievery. In a accomplished society such as

Acquiring education is one of the most critical aspects of a person’s life. It should be seen as vital as the air we breathe. The key to a healthy mind and a successful person is learning. “Without education, you’re not going anywhere in this world” is a famous quote by Malcolm X. His quote reiterates that the competitive world makes it essential for us to have a proper education since it will serve as our weapon to conquer the world. Education will help a person grow as an individual because a highly knowledgeable person will have a better grip on handling any problem that comes his or her way. Literacy is the foundation of what we are as individuals. Every decision we make, as well as our thought process, is the basis of what we know.

The need to communicate is essential for all human beings. Reading and writing help humans keep track of their ideas and learn new information that helps us learn about the world around us. Humans possess the right to education; not only will educating people to benefit the person but also it will help the economy of their government. If more humans are educated, more will be engineers or doctors. Meaning that innovation and other advances in medicine, science, etc. will benefit the economic growth of a nation. According to Muller (2014), “Without education, many of our ideas and opinions can be stereotypical or prejudiced, bearing no relationship to the truth” (p. 180).

Education is one of the most important things for a society to prosper and be safe which forms the character and intelligence of the individuals around the world. Education makes one able to understand what is happening in the world logically and clearly. Education enables individuals to put their potential to use and make a difference in the future. It is essential for individuals to be educated in a way that they will expand their knowledge vastly. An ideal educational model is very difficult to achieve, and is often argued over by people in society.

Education bring with it enlightenment and self-discipline which if humans possess could help them make right and almost rational decision for themselves which of cause in the end is beneficial to the entire society and country. JS Mill acknowledges by saying giving enlightenment and self-discipline the laboring class could escape the Malthusian trap. He saw education as a way of redistributing income and increasing equality of income. Briddle & Davis (2003) confirms that education could raise the psychological subsistence level, thus providing a major check to population. This has a benefit of creating a strong nation that can enjoy better cultural, economic and political benefits.
