  • Family Structure's Impact on Juvenile Delinquency

    908 Words  | 2 Pages

    According to Price & Kunz, (2003) family structure is a major factor in explaining delinquency. The research aimed at finding a link between cohabiting and other family types with delinquency (Price & Kunz, 2003). They made an important finding that adolescents from cohabiting families are at greater odds of engaging in non-violent delinquency compared to those from biological-parent families. The findings contradict the findings of other studies that show that that youth from broken families are likely to engage themselves in delinquent activities. For example, in one longitudinal study by Juby and Farrington, (2003) they found out that children especially boys who were from non-intact families portrayed negative behaviors compared to those that were from intact families (Juby & Farrington, 2001). Moreover, Prince & Kunz, (2003) performed a meta-analysis involving divorce and juvenile delinquency. They also made a finding that children from divorced homes have a high rate of delinquency compared to those from intact homes.

    Their style and actions were deemed inappropriate because it did not adhere to the school standard of conduct. Thus, they were left on their own, without support or comprehension from the school staff. Because of this belief held by the school personnel, las chicas would be placed on a vocational tracking system. Once placed on this track, las chicas were essentially denied any chance of escaping their current socio-economic class. Las chicas and other hard-living girls were often told that college courses would be too difficult for them. Many of las chicas actually had high grades in their classes, but the grades didn’t matter because the courses they took wouldn’t qualify them for a four-year college. For many, the prospect of college dwindled, and with it, any hope for escaping their class in the future. They would head either to community college or straight to work in low-wage jobs. They were systematically excluded from any chance of improving their

    Discrimination is still a chronic global issue, and drastic inequalities still exist at the present time.

Without this program, a higher education would have been impossible for a “minority students” to attain. Additionally, without the Affirmative Action, a fair opportunity to have a higher-level career...

    The institution of public education has been one of the most controversial establishments in the United States since its inception. More specifically, equality in the conditions and the opportunities it provides has been sought as one of its major goals. There is little doubt that minority ethnic groups have struggled to achieve educational equality, just as they have struggled for equality in other aspects of life. One way that minorities have tried to achieve equality in education is through lobbying for help in college admissions for their respective groups. This social practice has been debated on many grounds, including necessity and ethical permissibility.

  • Continuing in the Field of Ethnic Studies

    As a freshman at Cal-State Fullerton I began to ask my self where inequalities come from and what causes them, why does society use the term minorities and why minorities are oppress. While working at the Volunteer & Service Center I was invited to join a group that plan an event called the Social Justice Summit. This event was a grassroots event that helped raise awareness about different inequalities and oppressions in the community to over 500 community members. With this event, I understood that there isn’t one solid answer that exists about what causes inequalities and oppressions. And even now, the only thing that is clear is that people need to know what is happening in the world. This is why I want to continue my education in the field of Ethnic Studies. Specifically I want to find out the struggles of the Chicano/a population. Find out about pass movements and what we can learn about those movements, what we can improve about those movements, to help the Chicano population today.

Educators allowed low education standards and refused to see students as equals. The advisors set students sights low for the future by encouraging how service jobs were a practical choice for us Mexicans. Cleaning houses were the normal thing to do for Mexican-American females.

The result was that the schools and instructors were not meeting the needs of the students’ more so of the Chicano students.

  • The University of Michigan Should NOT Use Affirmative Action

    1535 Words  | 4 Pages

    Imagine, your walking down the street looking for a job. You see a sign in the window that says, “Whites encouraged to apply.” Imagine the period in time when just being white got you into a college, without any other considerations of grades or athletic ability. Those were the days of the Jim Crow laws. Now these instances have happened in the past 20 years, through new laws called Affirmative Action. The big argument is over these few years of affirmative action. Have they alleviated the pain of the Jim Crow laws? The answer to that question is no. Especially, in the case of the University of Michigan‘s use of Affirmative Action in the acceptance of students. Using race as a factor of admission is wrong and is reverse discrimination.

    Broken families, lack of education, substance abuse, socioeconomic status, peer pressure including gang activity and trauma can cause or influence criminal activity. Adolescents need a family unit. They need to be nurtured and protected by a parent or parent figure to develop morals and standards. This is where a youth learns and understands right from wrong, compassion and tolerance. Without these lessons youth become susceptible to criminal behavior because simply put they never learned it was not okay. Without a positive parent figure youth might not understand the importance of education and fall into the truancy. Truancy causes low grades and limits their positive social interaction. Even as youth grow older their education level stays the same, causing low self-esteem. Truancy, low self-esteem and substance abuse goes hand in hand. The drugs that are assessable to today’s youth are cheap and extremely easy to get. Drug use/ substance abuse mixed with low self-esteem, and, lack of parental guidance is a huge factor in life long criminal behavior and can be attributed to youth that have experienced some type of trauma in their

  • Affirmative Action Must Play a Role in College Admissions

    2887 Words  | 6 Pages

    The issue of Affirmative Action, preferences towards persons of racial minorities to compensate for prior discrimination, in college admissions is a quite complicated one. Many sides must be explored to gain a better understanding of the theories and views on this issue. It is not easily answered with a yes or no. Since its inception, Affirmative Action’s use has been a major debate in American society. Many questions are left to be investigated. Many believe that we should live in a society where preferential treatment could be eliminated, and admission to college is based solely on one’s merit and character, yet this view seems quite unrealistic.

  • White-Class Reflection

    1095 Words  | 3 Pages

    Although both the Interact and the California State Federation club were affiliated with my school, both of my supervisors were not orthodox in their thinking. Their tolerance and respect towards people from a different race, compelled me to believe that changing one’s mindset about racial intolerance is possible. I soon began to believe that change is possible after observing the tolerance and respect both my supervisors showed towards me. It made me realize that deviating from my community’s mindset on racial intolerance, is a social issue that cannot be placed on any one individual but rather, on a mass of people. Change is only created by a multitude of people willing to deviate from the norms of society to fuel the movement (Gutierrez November 3, 2015). I believe to create change I must be educated, to help raise awareness about issues of racial intolerance in my community. To further my motives in deviating from my community’s discriminatory and prejudicial ideology, I applied to public colleges which would allow me to mentally
