From initial observations, it seems that a large portion of women from the WWII time period felt confident in their ability to…

Diversity, equality and fairness are the latest buzzwords being kicked around in academia and the media. Everybody is supposed to achieve the American Dream today, regardless of who you are, where you came from, or what you do to get there. According to their math, equality of opportunity equals equality of outcome, and if it doesn't, rig the formula so it does. I read a couple of articles in nj.com recently. In one, a Rutgers-Camden professor of Public Policy published a study that found that more…

worry about getting an education based on what their socioeconomic background is, or because of what race they are, but sadly, that’s the type of world that occupies the American society and its educational system. The Concept of Equality of Educational Opportunity by James Coleman discusses what Coleman believes to be the disparity between the educational success of lower class students versus middle class students in the American educational system. His arguments are widely controversial, even…

1.) Daniels uses the “fair equality of opportunity” for his argument on his views on the strong right to healthcare. He states that you can 't be considered a normal functioning human if you are diseased or have disabilities that restrict your range of opportunities.
