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

As an adult, people that I encounter in my everyday life often wonder how I got to be the mortal that I am today an understanding, open-minded individual who does not sense of smell d let upon anyone that is less fortunate than I am and who does not direct to more fortunate individuals as role models. When I am asked how I got to be so understanding, I answer giving credit to my parents place transcription they instilled in me as well as acknowledging their duties as domain 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 sustain worked for the Department of Social Services in Child Wel outlying(prenominal)e and the federal agency of Public Assistance, initially as a case-worker, in Brooklyn as well. It was because of their experiences in the field and interacting with those less fortunate then we were that I gained a true level of knowledge and understanding of the unfortunate mishaps of people of my culture and the inequalities inflicted upon the pitch-dark community. Yet the most influential aspects of my knowledge came from the exposure my mother had through and through working for the City of New Yorks child welfare system and the unfair treatments that her clients endured. As a result I will establish the affects of social, economic and racial inequalities suffered by her clients and the impact it has had on their childrens education.During my studies in this class, we ask discussed many issues in ordination that affects children apart of education systems across America. After reading through our assigned texts so far, I have had time 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 book Schooled to Order which discusses the history of the public school system here(predicate) in America. As shown through my reaction papers and discussions in class, I felt 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 definite 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 apprehend in growing up to improve their lives through education, and sometimes do not want to strive to achieve better. My mother and I two agree 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 express that it is no coincidence that most of the city s worst schools, hospitals, and jot services seem to largely be in heavily minority populated areas and she feels that the biggest inequality in New York is race. Admittedly, this paper has been the most unwieldy for me to prepare in that of the topics we discussed in class, I feel that inequalities is the main year for societys problems in which it incorporates accessibility, opportunity, gender, and mostly race. Our education system has been set-up principally to separate 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 argument and I believe that until it changes, they will remain that way.
