The theoretical perspective I most closely identify with would be the structural functionalist perspective. The idea that most appeals to me about this perspective is how everything in society is viewed as being interconnected. The main issue I have with other perspectives, like the conflict perspective, is that they classify people into two groups, the haves and have-nots. I think our society is much too diverse to simply categorize people into such broad groups. Another idea I don’t like in

opportunities available to American citizens by adding roughly one million students to state universities and community colleges (Camarota). Supporters of the DREAM Act argue that it will significantly increase tax revenue because the amnesty recipients with a college education will earn more, causing them to pay more in taxes. However, Camarota shares that any tax benefit is in the long-term and will not help public institutions deal with the large influx of new students the Act creates in the short-term

First, it is important to identify two main types of bilingual education; transitional and maintenance. Transitional means the primary focus is on learning the dominant language, while drifting apart from the minority language. On the other hand, maintenance deals with maintaining and developing the L1 while also trying to learn the dominant language (Hidden Curriculum, 2014).

The source of this discourse can be attributed to global biases and stereotypes of Asian American students. Asian American students are stereotyped for being model students when it comes to education. Most of this academic achievement has been attributed to Asian cultural values that promote educational endeavors. Culture is a major explanation for achievement differences. The article,” Asian-American educational achievements: A phenomenon in search of an explanation” states, “demands and expectations

Americans love children; everyone likes kids. We always want the best for children. Although this may be true, people in opposition to DACA are willing to deprive the children of their interests in pursuing a livelihood and furthering their education. Not to mention, the children are being punished for the parent’s undertakings. Oh, we are immoral people! However, the typical person is not considering the entire picture. On the other hand, if we examine the details, to a large extent, whatever people

Food assistance programs are the primary tool the government uses to alleviate the hunger pangs and empty diets caused by nutrition insecurity.
