The Effects Of Education On Education

The lack of education perspective makes the community members less aware about the negative impact that a single parenthood could have in their future. However, others studies have shown literate and wealthy Black women are less likely to be married (Wilson, 2002).

In the article, Education and Schooling: You Can Have One Without the Other, Mwalimu J. Shujaa of the State University of New York discusses the importance of learning that there is a difference between schooling and education. Can education exist without schooling or vice versa? Shujaa’s article gives an insight into the conjunction of schooling and education and how they impact the culture of African Americans.

“Education is not just about going to school and getting a degree. It's about widening your knowledge and absorbing the truth about life.”

Although family function and formation has frequently shifted throughout history, one recent and clear trend has been a delay of family formation and marriage by young adults (Furstenberg 2010:68-69; Rauer et al. 2012:2168). While it appears that young adults are no longer as committed to marriage and family formation, a closer inspection reveals that this delay appears to be exactly that, and not reflective of a reduced capacity for family life (Rauer et al. 2013:2168). This delay has been found to be related to education, where higher education levels correspond to longer delays for both marriage (Furstenberg 2010:70-77) and family formation (Blossfeld & Huinink 1991:160; Blossfeld & Jaenichen 1992:314). After an analysis on which elements of education appear to be most influential on the delay of marriage and family formation, it is argued that the process of being a student itself has the biggest impact. This is found to be related to time constraints and societal expectations. The relationship between education and delayed marriage and family formation is investigated in varying societies, where mediating factors – such as gender roles and ethnicity, are found to be involved. While these mediating factors are often not strong enough to overwhelm effects of education, a different interaction in Japan is noted, where higher education was found to reduce, rather than delay, marriage and family formation.

According to the authors, “marriage gap” is the existing disparity in marriages based on education, race, and gender. They argue that “marriage gaps” in the United States are widening. The statistics presented indicate that college-graduates are likely to marry among themselves and they portray a rising trend in interracial marriages, save for the Black Americans who are less likely to marry across race lines. However, the statistics indicate a “gender gap,” in that, “three-quarters of the black-white marriages involve a black man, rather than a black woman.” Sixty percent of college educated black women in the age bracket of 25 to 35 are likely not to get married as compared to 38 percent of college-educated white women. Moreover, 58 percent of college educated black women are more likely to be married to less educated white men. In correlation with “assortative mating”, it implies that college-educated white women are more likely to be espoused to men with college education. This further implies the reinforcement of household income. College educated single women do not enjoy the multiplication effect in incomes resulting from “assortative mating”. Therefore, “marriage gaps” raises income inequality. Single mothers, and individuals with non-college education will have low household income unlike educated partners who have opted to marry each other, whether across races or within the racial

Document C is a speech made by a young African-American boy who is first in his class, during 1819, in New York City. He explains that even since he is genius he will have no future because of the color of his skin. According to Document C Note, it states, “ However, this was an improvement over the South where public schooling for white and free blacks was very limited, and where educating slaves was generally illegal.” Document C Note shows that black children in the North were given an opportunity at education allowing them to learn legally for the first time, while white boys in the South still could not go to school. Before the Civil War, many Northern schools for black children were segregated, but this was an improvement over the South

“Most mothers agree that potential marriage partners must earn significantly more than the minimum wage, but also emphasize the importance of stability of employment, source of earnings, and the effort men expend to find and keep their jobs”. I found it really interesting that many of these mothers place equal or greater emphasis on non-monetary factors and ways in which marriage might enhance status, and may limit their control over household decision.

The opposition of early marriage believed that early marriage denies the right of young adolescents especially for female to the education they postulate for self-development. In traditional societies, the investment for a girl’s education is thought to be wasted as the girl is going to marry and stay at home doing household chores (UNICEF, 2001). For instance, Demographic Health Survey data collected from Bangladesh, Nepal, Indonesia, and Kazakhstan had shown a clear link between marriage and withdrawal from school (UNICEF, 2001). A girl will drop out from school, if a good marriage prospect arises (UNICEF, 2001). Because of the early end of female education, they will have constricted chances of enhancing skills and acquiring knowledge,

It is shown that fifty percent of the widowed or divorced have remarried that does not have a high school degree. More students, adults and young adults are focusing more on studying and school more than they are focusing getting married or even remarried. Marriage or remarriage is not a top priority in a high school or college student. (“Remarriage on the Rise in the U.S.” U.S. News & World Report.)

Whether or not you have the privilege or not to attend school, school is based four main factors, money, social class location, and family impact.Where you live plays a factor in education more than it should. If you live in a gated community or you live in the slums, it should not affect the quality of education you receive, but even though we are in 2017 it does affect us. It has changed drastically from the 1940’s and we keep making changes but in the end some are going to receive a better education than others. This is not the way it should be, but it is the way it is. Some kids that attend public schools are receiving better education than others because of where their school is located. Teachers are also a factor in this issue, because frankly some teachers don't care what the students learn at all. Depending where you live, some teachers don't even show up for classes because they are scared.

There are countless reasons that help to explain the growing number of people delaying marriage. Between 1976 and 2011the median age of first marriage increased by six years for men and seven years for women, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. “There is little doubt that the experiences of young people making the transition into adulthood are quite different now than they were 20 years ago. Many of these changes are direct results of labor-market restructuring, workplace reorganizations, and changing educational demand” (Lehmann 2004, 380). The changing patterns of education and youth labor market also accounts for this increase.

What is an influence? Influence is a person or thing that affect someone in an important way. It can be positive, negative, or even both. There are many things that can be an influence in someone’s life such as friends, relatives, surroundings, etc. However, for me, one of the things that influenced me the most was my family’s personal problems. I am the only child to both of my parents and that made them even more strict on me about finishing school. The reason is neither of them finished school due to the circumstances they were in back in Haiti; therefore, they were not always able to live the lifestyle they desired. The misfortune of my parents’ education influenced me in important ways by teaching me that education is one of the major keys to success.

This study examined the divide between gender cultures in urban China. According to Qian (2014), women in their late 20s were referred to as “leftover ladies” (p. 1337). Because of the low average marriage age of women, the odds of them marrying later is unlikely. The effect that education is placed on marriage depends on the differences in gender roles. Because China was previously under a socialist economy, gender inequality in the work place was not as drastic as it is now. China’s female employment rate was among the highest in the world at that time. Once China shifted from a planned economy to a market economy, the motive to keep gender equality in the workplace diminished, causing a decrease in women workers. Traditional values emerged again in China, where the role of the breadwinner was taken by the men and the housemaker role was established by the women. This influenced the next generations when their children would marry. Arranged marriages are illegal in China, but parents still play a primary role in their children’s marriages. The parents could be raising their children in the same traditional values they grew up on. The women would teach their daughters how to run a household,

The two agents of socialization that have influenced me the most are family and school. I know all of the agents of socialization have influenced me in at least some way, but family and school are the ones I see most on how it influenced my lifestyle and personality. The first one would be family because I think it is the most important one that shapes who I am today. As a baby, my life was not under my control and surviving was completely dependent on others. We rely on our parents the most or the people who play the parent role because they teach us about relationships, life and the different resources we have. They also teach us their values, beliefs, and norms in life. This is why everyone is different because parents of the high/middle class focus more on different aspects of life such as independence, creativity, and critical thinking, while parents from the low-class focus on rules, punishments and natural real world development. As a child, what our parents believe in is what we believe in. Take this for an example, a young girl, Roxanne, live in America and was born to an immigrant family. She was bilingual and taught the importance of the good of society over welfare through socialization with her family. This kind of experience would be different from someone born in a more traditional American family that emphasizes the importance of the language English and individual values. School is the second agent of socialization that has influenced me the

What do you think about when you hear the United States of America? What comes to your head? You might be thinking about the big American dream, which is going to school, studying to become a doctor or anything you want and making millions. When our parents came to America they were thinking about what was best for our future in education and finance. That is why they came here. So would you think that you or your parents would be devastated to come to realize that the US is 14th in the world when it comes to education? I am not saying that is bad by any means. However, if you are the richest country in the world, that also means you have the most resources so there should be no reason to be 14, you should be 1st, or at least in the top 5.
