A Social Injustice: the effects of social inequalities in foster care a

As an adult, muckle that I encounter in my nonchalant life often wonder how I got to be the person that I am today an understanding, open-minded individual who does non look cut upon anyone that is less fortunate than I am and who does not look to more(prenominal) fortunate individuals as role models. When I am asked how I got to be so understanding, I answer giving credit to my parents value establishment they instilled in me as swell as acknowledging their duties as public servants in the City of New York. My father was a police officer who worked in a number of precincts in some of the worst, crime ridden areas of Brooklyn and my mother worked for the subdivision of Social Services in Child Welfare and the Bureau of prevalent Assistance, initially as a case-worker, in Brooklyn as well. It was because of their experiences in the palm and interacting with those less fortunate then we were that I gained a received aim of knowledge and understanding of the unfortunate mi shaps of people of my culture and the inequalities inflicted upon the black community. tho the most influential aspects of my knowledge came from the exposure my mother had through works for the City of New Yorks child welfare system and the foul treatments that her clients endured. As a result I go out discuss the doctors of social, economical and racial inequalities suffered by her clients and the impact it has had on their childrens education.During my studies in this class, we hand discussed numerous issues in lodge that affects children apart of education systems across America. afterwards reading through our assigned texts so far, I have had fourth dimension to reflect upon and add to the opinions discussed in class as far as access, gender, opportunity and particularly inequalities in todays society and how they affect our children today. The main text that influenced most of my opinions so far is David Nasaws keep back Schooled to Order which discusses the histor y of the public school system here in America. As shown through my reaction papers and discussions in class, I tangle Nasaws theories and opinions were reflective of the elitist, biased and prejudiced attitudes towards the working poor. I believed that people in our society today believe that unless you come from a certain lineage, pedigree, or mass amounts of money that the individual lacks a certain level of class and therefore would not be successful adul... ...y own observance, many of these children learn from an early age to give up hope in growing up to improve their lives through education, and sometimes do not want to strive to achieve better. My mother and I both total that until racial, economic and social inequalities are put into balance, that this city as well as many other areas around the country minority citizens will seem to always struggle and suffer from unfair treatments. She said that it is no coincidence that most of the citys worst schools, hospitals, and emergency run seem to largely be in heavily minority populate areas and she feels that the biggest inequality in New York is race. Admittedly, this paper has been the most difficult for me to civilise in that of the topics we discussed in class, I feel that inequalities is the main category for societys problems in which it incorporates accessibility, opportunity, gender, and mostly race. Our education system has been set-up mainly to die the elite from the masses, and the fact that blacks have been apart of this countrys history, unfortunately have always been the last on the social list and I believe that until it changes, they will remain that way.
