school inequalities

Isaak Townsend The article was about how neighborhoods that had lower income families in them tend not to have good educational systems. It noted that there are a lot more school drop outs in those areas when compared to higher income areas. It concludes that more tax dollars should be directed towards school in general. My opinions on this are that even if you were to use more tax dollars to fund schools, you'd still have the same problem of lower income schools having lower test scores and drop out rates.

Men have higher rates of suicide than women, single people are more likely as opposed to people in relationships, and rates are lowered by people that have children. Furthermore, Durkheim noticed tha...

Unremarkable Stakes

Adrian Perez  Mr. Roddy  IHSS 15 September 19  Unremarkable Stakes  Comparative methodologies should include the interactive aspects of the global movement of people, goods, and ideas . There is a term Comparative Consciousness, which essentially is making those comparative connections non-consciously, but instead making them naturally. It is most often, people make these connections naturally, rather than consciously. But in some way, shape of form, we naturally make connections based on things that we are accustomed too. Shaykh I-Sha'rawi published his guide about many islamic women, when married aren’t able to change their name, the have to take the name of their spouse. It is said that many islamic women see American Women as sex “objects” to American Men. Another example is Stanley Brandes, book   Skulls to the Living, Bread to the Dead: The Day of the Dead in Mexico and Beyond , while in Mexico, as he learned the culture, he quickly saw the co...
