Educational Researcher by Gloria Ladson-Billings looked into the ratio between education and achievement and what the gap was between them and how to fix it. According to an interview with strict economist Professor Emeritus Robert Haveman of the University of Wisconsin’s Department of Economics he makes it clear by stating that “ In order to reduce the debt or gap in one being achievement you must then close the gap of the other being education” Ladson-Billings also goes on to recognize the parallel between not only your economic status when it comes to education but how well your parents did before you among many other things including your health along with your overall well being playing a factor into your education ( Ladson-Billings, Oct 2006, P 5). Additionally the first teachers of a student are their parents whom in the home are responsible for teaching their children the basic fundamentals they must adhere to within society in order to navigate throughout life.Thus giving them many opportunities to experience cultural and life development (Wilburn, Smith & Hill-Carter, 2013, P 242). This research ties into chapter three of our book where education is discussed and one such topic that Michael’s remarks upon would be annual family incomes and how depending on what is made shows what the students of the
Moreover, in the Indian culture, the father of the bride is responsible for financing the wedding and providing a dowry for the in-laws. Which Lalit, does but then finds himself in serious financial strain. While out playing golf with some colleagues, Lalit ask one of them to borrow some money which sparks a discussion that elucidates the Indian view on having daughters (they are expensive and generally unwanted).

Family incomes are increasing, therefore we can assume that those living with a family income of 100,000 dollars or greater, will be able to fund their children’s education. Students are also maintaining jobs as they attend their post secondary education, and therefore they’re appreciating the value of money and their education. The quality of post-secondary education must be protected, and in order to do this, prices of education may need to increase. Therefore, consideration of the following policy may be crucial for students to continue to attend post-secondary education (Brown
Earlier this Semester, I participated in "The Power Of Assumptions Activity" which took place during a training I was helping facilitate. I was asked a series of questions and then I had to stand by a sign in the room that answered the questions being asked. The signs had different pieces of a person 's identity listed on them. A few examples included: Socioeconomic status, Family, Education, and Race. As the activity progressed, I realized that I don 't think about how the Racial piece of my identity affects my life as much as some other pieces. "The Power Of Assumptions Activity" allowed me to experience the uncertainty of not knowing how I would answer one of the questions on the contrary experience the opposite by answering many questions right away and which sign to stand under. "The Power Of Assumptions Activity" surprised me as I saw myself standing alone and also with other people depending on the questions that was asked and how each person decided to answer the questions for themselves. I chose this example to illustrate to introduce my paper about my Racial identity and also the challenge of writing this paper and reflecting on my Racial identity.
What are cultural assumptions? Cultural assumptions are defined as assumptions that are commonly known throughout a culture. These assumptions are highly relevant in the modern society we live in. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from, you will always have your own assumptions. Literature plays a key part in what kind of assumptions we will have, right from the age we begin to process information in our minds. This leads me to the assumption that has stuck with us since our childhood days. Stepmothers. There is a strong cultural assumption that stepmothers are ‘evil’ people, who force their way into other families and are malicious to their stepchildren. Assumptions like this influence our perceptions and lead
Parent understand that their girls are a burden and their sons are a gift, and this is what their sons and daughters grow up believing. The dowry placed on girls plays greatly into the sex-selected abortion rate in India. Boys are plainly and simply a better financial investment. Boys will not cost the parents money for marriage, in fact, with a marriage, they are guaranteed to make the parents money. Parents forced with the decision to have a girl and deal with the financial consequences, or abort and hope and pray for better luck in the gender of their child next time around. Quite often they chose the
The methods used to answer these questions were qualitative. Although Bowles and Gintis did not use many different ideas and statistics to present their points, the ones they did use had a strong enough quality to prove their points successfully. The use of the bar chart used in the article really helps to illustrate the information that Bowles and Gintis were trying to convey to the reader. The authors used data from the US Office of Education Survey very effectively to show the difference between students who were from family’s with educated parents, and those who were not.
When we were kids our parents make it priority to teach us moral, values, and instill in us certain beliefs. So teaching was instilled us based on cultural, and many was taught to us based on ways to deal with negative societal influences. Assumptions is other component we operate in daily. As we grow into adults we make assumptions based on our values and beliefs. When I think about values, beliefs, and assumptions many different thought come to mind.
