...Is education a right or a privilege? In my own perspective, Education should be treated as a right of every person. Every person has the right to know everything he needs to know. But as seen in today’s context, it seems that Education is becoming a privilege of certain students especially those that have the resources to be able to stay at school. It is no doubt that Education plays a very important role in every person’s life. That is why every parent or must I say almost all parents strive to give their sons and daughters the education that will partake in every child’s future. But as I see my society nowadays, there are really times that even though certain parents break their bones just to be able to send their children to school, the money they gain is just not enough to sustain the needs a student/pupil must meet in school. Moreover, some of them don’t even have the capability to provide the basic necessities of their own family. Logically, how can they send their children to school if they can’t even give healthy foods, safe shelter, acceptable clothing, and basic needs to their family? But, of course there are still families who are able to send their children to school be it on private or in public schools. In this case, the inability of the student to attend school is a major problem. It is caused by several factors we can’t even enumerate. Hence, the right of every student to Education is widely being the privilege of those students who are financially capable...

...education as something everyone had the privilege to receive and that it was a simple gateway to a successful job and life after school. As I grew up, I found this was not true at all. Education for many people is not a right, rather a privilege which they do not have. I hated going to school because I thought that I was learning everything that I didn’t need in order to be successful. I believed that as long as I attended school and paid attention during math class, I would become a doctor or a lawyer. As I grew up and matured, I began to love education. I loved learning about everything. I did not enjoy going to school every day early in the morning but I enjoyed broadening and exercising my mind. I had always thought that everyone was able to receive education but as I grew up, I realized that this was not the case. Education should be a basic human right no matter your age, sex, race or beliefs; unfortunately this is not the case for many people around the world. Malala Yousafzai is a young female who is continuing to fight for women’s rights concerning education. Where she is from, the Taliban have at times banned girls from attending school. Yousafzai continues to fight for something that should be a basic human right no matter the age or sex. These kinds of stories are what changed my attitude towards education. I learned that there are people all around the world who are not as fortunate as us to have education as a basic right. After I had learned this, I began to treat...

...Achieving Our Potential The majority of individuals recognize that education allows us to analyze, understand and appreciate our environment while giving us the life skills to survive in this globalized world. According to Merriam’s Dictionary, the definition of education is “any act or experience that has a formative effect on the mind, character, or physical ability of an individual.” Although most people have similar ideas as to what education is to them, I learned that not everyone’s opinion is comparable. As a student changes over from middle school to high school, they are given more of a voice because they are able to choose classes, although it is only a select amount. Allowing high school students to select a class gives them the opportunity to explore and learn a different subject. Also, students begin to discover their hidden talents. Tied together, required core classes and the classes students may choose from, help expand their prospect. Also, classes join into each other and benefit one another, sparking student interests and understanding of the classes themselves. I wondered what a high school student’s outlook on education would be and senior, Esther Herrera, gave me her opinion. “I am 17 and I think education is extremely important. I will admit that I do not always find school the most fascinating way to spend my time, but it is necessary.” The students begin to define themselves by the subjects and areas they are most interested in and their desire to expand...

...America as a Perceived Meritocracy: Structure, Stratification, and Life Chances at a Glance America as a Perceived Meritocracy America, like most other countries in the world, has a system of social stratification in place, which is the division of society into groups arranged in a social hierarchy. The most formal form of stratification is that based on wealth. Because of this and other devices of stratification, there is an unequal distribution of wealth and power among the members of society, known as social inequality (Ferris & Stein, 211). Though this social inequality is very real and Americans have to face it every day, this bitter reality seems less unpleasant as the idea of the American Dream is brought up. The idea of the American Dream is something which the majority of Americans clings to and is able to seek hope within. It is an idea that says as long as one works hard enough and has enough passion, work ethic, and gusto that they, too, can achieve a higher status in society than the current one in which they reside. Americans often bring up a spectacular example of this so-called dream, Oprah Winfrey, highlighting the fact that she went from immense poverty to wealth, and if she can do it, then so can anybody else. However, what these hopeful, blindsided American fail to realize is that Oprah Winfrey is the exception, not the rule. To assume that the American Dream is within the grasp of each American pursuing it would mean that America runs as a meritocracy...

...The event that I attended on Symposium day was titled Walk of Privilege, I expected to take part in a privilege walk like the ones I had previously seen in videos on Facebook and Youtube. These videos often involved a group of people standing in a line answering questions to see where they stand on the privilege scale. I anticipated standing in a line with other students and stepping forward or backwards depending on my personal answer to the questions. Afterward, I expected a discussion that was filled mostly with awkward silence and predominantly white upper class students stating their opinions on diversity. This however, was not exactly what occurred. During this seminar only ten volunteers participated in the privilege walk, rather than...

...disadvantages, worthless, and the list could go on with even more words that relate to racism. Jobs, acceptance, equality, benefits, this list is harder to label is it not? White Privilege is just as real as racism, but not as apparent. According the University of Dayton’s online dictionary, White Privilege is defined as, “a right, advantage, or immunity granted to or enjoyed by white persons beyond the common advantage of all others; an exemption in many particular cases from certain burdens or liabilities,” (“white privilege”). White Privilege is a subject rarely covered by educators due to the difficulty students’ have understanding it; therefore, resulting in a lack of awareness. White Privilege, unlike racism,...

...The constitution is always brought up when discussing whether healthcare is a right or a privilege. “ If we interpreted our Constitution correctly, America was built on the principle that government exists to protect our rights that already exist, not dictate what rights we have, do not have or should have,” (Williams,2012). I do not thing that healthcare is a right or a privilege. If referring to the constitution, it states “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Our nation was built on the notion of the free market. Healthcare is provided through public and private sectors. “f we want to live out the liberties granted to us by our Founders, we should reserve our right to purchase healthcare on the free market, allowing opportunities for those to purchase at affordable rates, not by allowing healthcare controlled by bureaucrats,” (Williams, 2012). The problem comes due to our entitlement generation. I do believe that basic health needs should be given to all people. Due to constant medical and technological growth, healthcare is more expensive and more advanced. I do not think that all advanced medicine needs to be provided equally to all people. Basic healthcare needs to be identified and provided for all individuals, but the individual can purchase “luxury” healthcare at leisure. Our generation feels that they are entitled to every aspect of healthcare. The healthcare market is a business like any other and the conglomerates and insurance companies want...

...has been a tremendous and effective contributing factor towards the fast and easy researching method my colleagues, myself and other learning colleagues are using widely in the twenty-first century. Fortunately, online resources have created essential communication skills between me and my colleagues, tutors and other acquaintances around the universe. This method has enabled me interact via online through discussing and exchanging learning information. However, the effect has not only made it easy for the general public and myself to access accurate and non-accurate information, but has also contributed in developing and improving social development/network. Most importantly, it has given me the privilege to search more than one database to enable obtaining a successful research project. Furthermore, the aspect of locating the right source is an enormous issue. Example is researching using Google and Google scholar. The difference is that, Google scholar is peer-reviewed but Google is not. Based on this evidence, not all information is academically evaluated or peer-reviewed before it is made public on the internet. Database searching enable me learn different techniques in acquiring successful research. Examples are: I get the privilege to access both old and new online journals, books, and newspapers. Most importantly, it enables learning to be more flexible and convenient. In addition to that, I am able to book an appointment, counselling...

...Nathan Salupo Professor Vann WMST 231-001 Privilege For my mini paper topic I focused on privilege. Before enrolling in this class I had no idea of what privileges were, who had which privileges, how we get our privileges, and the role that privileges play in our everyday lives. The topic of privileges shows up in Shaw and Lee chapter two which is the main focus. Privilege as defined by Shaw and Lee is defined as “Advantages that people have by virtue of their status or position in society.” For example males have advantages that are inherent just because they are males that females do not have. In the case of my topic I focused mainly on the privilege that white people have over black people. In early August in Ferguson, Missouri, 18 year old Michael Brown, an unarmed African American male was shot multiple times and killed after a confrontation with a cop. The officer, Darren Wilson, drove by the boys walking in the road and told them to move onto the sidewalk. Wilson then reversed his car back to the two boys where there was an apparent confrontation as Wilson recognized Brown as a suspect for a convenience store robbery days prior and the boys split off running in separate directions. It later became known that the robbery was not the reasons for the encounter that led to Brown’s death. (Washington Post) When Brown was killed there was a public outcry for him because he had been unarmed and was shot by a white police officer, Darren Wilson after what witnesses...

...White American Privileges and Social Class Aieleen Lanot University of Hawaii – West Oahu White American Privileges and Social Class Privilege is a concept of sociology used to implicate that there are certain groups of individuals that have an advantage over others. “Social liberties use the term to mean benefits according to white people under economic, political, and social circumstance. (Anyon 17)” I agree with his stance because there is no extension of such privileges to individuals of other races such as Blacks, Hispanics or Asians. The use of this term is mainly in the social inequality context primarily in relation to social class, sexual orientation, race, age, and gender. Several recorded privileged elements show the advantageous that White America has in getting access to better housing, jobs, and education. This paper will explore the issue of White American privileges and how social class status is based on color of your skin and the financial means of your family. In the article by Peggy McIntosh, she defines, “White privileges as a package of unearth assets, invisible in nature and are obvious” (McIntosh 10). There is a comparison of white privilege to an undetectable light knapsack of assurance, maps, tools, guidance, visa, codebooks, clothes, passbooks, emergency gear, blank checks, etc. I concur with Peggy McIntosh analysis since there are several functions brought about by white privileges. These functions include provisions of “perks”...
