Yakima Case Study

Intro: There is a lot of things about Yuma Arizona. Yuma has project name Yuma Project and this project helps control the water and help keep plants healthy. So here are some things that help Yuma get better. First we start how irrigation changed Yuma and Southern Arizona. Then how geography impact the development of irrigation. After that we learn how the project was so important for Yuma. Finally, did the Yuma Project have positive or negative impact on the Yuma.

I hope you and everyone at Spartan Eastern Canada are doing awesome, Some of these questions are from Canadian friends that have done a lot of Spartan Canada races. Please also note, some of these questions are based on rumors, speculations, and recent events, so please have them do there best to answer those ones.

Had refusing the treaty that America tried to force on them hurt the Plateau Indians severely? Did retaliation cause them to almost come to complete annihilation? My position is that yes, the Plateau Indians made a bad decision when they refused the treaty by the United States, and that more of the Indians would have survived if they’d just moved on to the reservation like they were asked. None of the Yakima Wars would have happened if the Indians would’ve just extinguished their pride, and went peacefully onto a reservation where their people did not have to worry about fighting the whites. The main cause of this conflict was the desire of the United States citizens to move west. If they hadn’t believed in Manifest Destiny, and had the

Prisoners are described as untrustworthy criminals-a characteristic a college education won’t change. Victims of criminals are used as more evidence of their negative nature; justifying why inmates shouldn’t be able to be awarded the grants. In contrast, they emphasize the innocent nature of law abiding citizens, who work relentlessly to be able to send their kids to college, and how these attributes make them different than inmates; and therefore the only rightful receiver of Pell Grants. The group that supported Pell Grants in U.S. prisons, took a less aggressive role. They didn’t refute the opposing side’s claim completely, but focused on the positive results of college education. They portrayed inmates as molding blocks who could change with the help of proper resources, and the fact that they were as much of a citizen as anyone else- and deserved the same opportunity of the Pell

Imagine a brilliant high school child named Michael who has a high GPA and is enrolled in the honors and AP curriculum; he precipitates in multitudes of extracurricular activities including sports and clubs. He gets accepted to many schools and received many scholarships. However, even with financial aid, he and his family are economically deprived and therefore incapable in funding a college education. This scenario is not an imagination but a common event in modern day America. Fifty percent of eighteen to twenty-five year old adults who did not attend a higher education institution experienced a similar situation (Why). These people belong in a university, an establishment whose nature is to judge base on the intelligence not on the

Yakima County is geographically very unique. The county is located in south central Washington State among seven neighboring counties. Its geography consists mainly of rolling foothills and fertile valleys. Agriculture is the main producer in the county’s economy and, according to the Yakima county economic profile, Yakima is the second largest county in Washington state at 2.75 million acres. Concerning health in Yakima County there are three major issues that stand out. The percentage of people without health insurance, health risk conditions, and the lack of preventative care.

It not only limits the U.S. by keeping us from progressing, it also leads to more high school dropouts, and is a major contributor to the large income gap present in America. In order to improve the United States, the federal government needs to step in just like it did back in 1954. The Supreme Court fixed the problem as it was defined at the time, but now the problem has more depth and has transformed into something greater than it once was. Having the federal government gear more money to funding public schools, as well as coming up with innovative methods of teaching will repair this inequality and help desegregate classrooms (Mujic). Although the federal government can only do so much by funding public schools, so high schoolers at the root of this educational inequality need to have the motivation to obtain the necessary skills for success. Obtaining these skills will help our country progress with technology and

A person will need an education to achieve a job. The finding ‘closing the gap did’ was recorded scores from NAPLAN results and the findings were between 90 and 95% of non-Indigenous achieved average or above the nation minimum however over Indigenous only 30% achieving this. Our government is helping these targets be achieved with having attention drawn to infrastructure, workforce of teachers and school leaders supply quality, curriculum, allow for more parent involvement and greater opportunities. There are more opportunities for pathways into work place, or training to help those that school just isn’t for. In February there was $98.8 million over five year provided for an extra 200 teachers for remote school in Northern Territory. Making it compulsory for remote juveniles to attend school for achieving greater attendance. The fund will help for enabling them to expand the National Accelerated Literacy Program that helps literacy and numeracy skills that have successful helped Indigenous and will hopefully further improve standards. The aim is also to give an understanding to parents and teacher of these remote communities and become a further part of their child’s education. There is a plan by closing the gap to build in the northern Territory to fund a $28.9 million three Indigenous facilities which will accommodate years 8 to 12 and help give the Indigenous young people an

On the surface the nation’s commitment in providing access to any individual seeking entry to Job Corps seems to be working. Now underneath the surfs is another story of this apparent success. With these dire economic times a supportive system that we can create by combining the education systems through partnerships with other schools, organizations, and companies would enable the next generation of students. It will allow them to further their careers and education giving them the chance to flourish into a generation to remember. Now that President Obama has called for ineffective programs to be placed on the chopping block in order to revise the United States Spending Budget. Which is causing Job Corps centers nationwide to close down there

The first reason that military spending should be cut down on is that it takes away the focus from other incredibly important areas. One of the many areas that loose focus because of the large amount of military spending is the education sector. Primary education should be one of the main concerns of our government. Not only because it is where we teach our children about the world, but also it gives them the chance for a better future. They do not learn this from the military. The main reason that education is a better investment is because in the long run education helps the economy grow, since it creates a more skillful labor force. The amount of spending that goes into the military takes away from the potential of a long-term benefit to our

There are several problems with this arrangement not the least of which: It smacks of indentured servitude. The arrangement puts the student in the same financial place as traded securities: i.e. bought and sold. In addition, investing in an individual student would be on its face a more risky “investment” if the student were from low-income families. This plan might work for student from high-income families: Students from high-income families can use their family income, and assets as tangible collaterals; and goodwill, namely, family name and reputation as intangible “collaterals.” So in institutions of higher learning, the poor would be underrepresented in the student population if the Marco Rubio model is deployed.

Furthermore, are gangs the likely support system that will inspire America’s youth to value education? To best prepare teens in the US to be a competitive force in the job market and economy in the areas of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), how can they accomplish this without even earning a High School diploma or GED (General Education Diploma)? Indeed, education is a huge factor for providing structure and stability now and in the future; education is a type of self-investment which is best explained through research by Lochner. Studies conducted by Lochner (as found in Hjalmarsson and Lochner, 2012, p. 49) accentuated the role of education as a ‘human capital’ investment that increases the appropriate future work

You can lead a horse to water but, if you don’t teach him to read, he won’t know its poison. This is exactly how the current welfare programs in the United States are run. The current Welfare Reform is failing due to Political indulgence in statistics, focusing on the percentage of individuals attaining employment instead of the quality of employee and employment. In order to be successful Welfare Reform must contain vocational education with proper job placement and fair sanctions on recipients.

In our reading "Choices are Everywhere: Why can't we just have it all?" from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis we learned that social security, national defense and healthcare programs are the top government spending categories (2013). While I believe all three are good places, I also feel like that 528.4 million dollars could have gone to our education system (not all but definitely some). According to usgovernmentspending.com the United States, in 2014, spend $1,283,079.6 million on healthcare (this includes local, state, and federal) while $962,948.4 million went to education (Total 2014 Government Spending). That is a $320,131.2 difference between total healthcare and education funding. I believe that is the opportunity cost; some of the money that went to PP that could have gone to education.

Some of these include Social Security, Social Security Disability, Social Security Income, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Earned Income Tax Credit, Food Stamps, Medicare, and Medicaid (Kelsey, lect. 09/28/15). Due to various budget cuts for these programs, the “government spending and funding which once benefitted society” no longer applies (Kelsey, lect. 10/05/15). Although it has been proven that “American government policy does reduce inequality by aiding the poor”, the U.S. “does less than any other advanced nation to reduce poverty through government benefits” (Fischer, 1996). Even though the United States is one of the wealthiest nations in the world, it seems to be failing in establishing laws and programs that help the poor. What is frightening, however, is that these policies are many times the ways in which class differences are reduced and how individuals escape poverty. Jesse and Cheryl for example would not have had access to higher education without the funding for some of these policies. The success of these educational policies is what allowed them to escape the cycle of poverty that many families face. The access to higher education is detrimental, because “educational attainment seems to be the key variable for upward mobility in the United States” (Giddens 2014). Therefore, by failing to implement the necessary funding and focus that education needs, the United States is failing many individuals to receive the opportunity of an education and escape their current economic situation. In other words, Putnam summarizes how “poor kids now are in much worse shape than their counterparts
