Girls: Growing up in the Global Education System
Introduction
When one thinks of the term “school education”, one sees it as the golden key to a brighter future, improving employment prospects and earnings but fundamentally we think of a system that serves to stimulate individual talents to the full, regardless of race, gender or social status. The naivete of this thought is huge however, as the majority of people are unaware of the victimization of girls that exists in the schooling system. Reports around the world show examinations of how girls face multiple social and economic barriers to both enrolling in and staying in school. However, in most settings, disparities between initial enrollment rates for girls and boys are much greater than differences in drop out rates, suggesting that the major challenge remains to get girls in school. In this report, I will focus my attention into three areas: the barriers that girls face in enrolling in the schooling system; the inequalities that they receive in school (ultimately an inferior education to boys due to gender bias and other issues); as well as the paths taken by administrators towards improving the state of a girl’s education. Due to the wide range of sources that I used, I will attempt to parallel the elements of a girl's education from various corners of the globe with that of girls living on the border.
Barriers Girls face in enrolling in school
Factors that affect the percentage of girls who enroll in school are various; poverty, tradition and culture are the primary barriers which girls experience in school enrolment.
A family’s income is a great determinant of the probability that girls will attend school. If a family’s income is low, the son is often chosen to attend school rather than the daughter, as he is more likely to contribute financially to the family income and support their parents, as they grow old. Girls in such an environment are needed to help with household chores and childcare for younger siblings. Since schooling involves substantial costs for fees, books, uniforms and transportation, when available school places or family resources are limited, parents often give higher priority to educating sons. This situation oftentimes accurately depicts the situation facing girls living on the border, as their families can be classed in such a poor social status.
Culture is our way of experiencing our daily lives. Dominican Republic’s culture is very complementary to mine, we respect our family dearly. Although it is peculiar for the housewife to be the bread winner of the family, the father is usually the one that will provide for the family. A Large family is infrequent nowadays, most families could have up to six children. A big family also plays a big role in financial problem. Junnot and his family leaves in a very poor neighborhood since it was just his mother that is basically feeding everyone in the house. The amount of income parents makes will determine the type of neighborhood they might live in, or the type of school the children might go to. “It is not as if the robbery came as a huge surprise. In our neighborhood, cars and apartment were always getting jacked.”(385) Majority of the immigrant lives in a poor neighborhood full of delinquency and crime due to poverty. Poverty level is based on the family circumstances. There is a higher chance of poverty with the newly immigrant, and they live in this condition because they are still new to the county. Education also plays a big role in this, because the more educated a person is the more they are likely to make it and become successful quicker. This might be a little different with the children, and there is a high
When you are a little girl and start your educational pathway you go to the school for thirteen or fourteen years, but probably is not as important, your educative as brother owns.For example, when your mother is sick and something happens at home, who is the person that stay taking care of your mother? I am sure the girl of the family stays at home until mom is fine. In addition to this, when a woman finishes her high school and she is looking for a university, her father advised her to study to become a teacher or a nurse and if she is undecided, it doesn't matter, she can stay at home and helps her mother to cook or look after her or something else. In an article in the newspaper "El Sol de Morelia" Hector Hugo Espinosa confirms this opinion very rooted in the Latin-American
Education is the most important in the critical rank for reducing gender inequalities. Women’s status socioeconomically has increased with the time change, but only because they have more means of entry to improved circumstances. Forms of gender inequality still exist in our society, even in the highly developed world. Sex-segregation
Leading one of the newest and most sought-after genres of filmmaking, Tim Burton has created a collection of movies and films, all full to the brim with his avant-garde touch. Using exaggeration in cinematic techniques and repetition of particular themes, Burton shows how “Burton” he is to the rest of the world. Tim Burton is leading this macabre, unique, darkly humorous genre of filmmaking. The reason for analyzing his style is very simple. It is to follow up on a brand new idea, to have a better grasp on future movies, and to have a more in-depth understanding of this cultural phenomenon in filmmaking worldwide.

The topic that I am going to explore with you is that of educational opportunities and lack of educational opportunities for female immigrants and their children during the early 20th century, late 20th century, current struggles and my daughters personal experience with educational opportunities. At the end of this paper I hope to have helped you gain a better awareness of the educational challenges these women and children dealt with, what students are still dealing with today, and a personal struggle with education.
It is safe to say that the current education system in the United States does not help create a good workforce, it does not help students meet their goals and it does not do a good job in creating good citizens. The current education system is not able to do this because not everyone is about to get a higher education, it is not practical, and a college education and grades are not good factors/indicators in determining a person’s success. Yes, the education system is better here than in other areas, but there are a few things that need to be worked on.
Parents and their children often share bonds that are inseparable. Even though each parent’s roles and expectations are different, they both want what is best for their children. To improve the lives of their children, many parents tried to find work in the U.S hoping to support their family back home, but also have to make sacrifices. As seen in the documentary, several unaccompanied child migrants such as Jose, Olga and Freddy, and Juan Carlos all experience transnational parenting. The
Boardroom decisions must be made in the context of the organisation’s health and safety policy; it is important to ‘design-in’ health and safety when implementing change.
In every movie, the director has some unique style to present to their audience, just as the writer has some technique to write a book. With each director displaying their own style pattern creates a more unique movie as they give the audience an enjoyable experience. The use of their own personal style helps the viewer connect to the director’s view and mood on his story. A director that has made a well known unique style to himself is Tim Burton; his directorial style comes with a specific makeup and custom, characters that deal with fear, and settings with a dark atmosphere. These styles all come together to create beautiful display of the horrific darkness underneath a childish innocence.
In conclusion, Occupational Health and Safety management has numerous benefits such as reduce accidents and injuries, improved working condition, compliance with legislation, better internal communication, increase competitiveness and quality, consistent and proven approach to managing OHS risks, improve the quality image of a company and reduce cost. But it is not easy to achieve an effective management system, particularly attitude of workers towards Health and Safety. There are also some weaknesses or gap that has to be identified in order to achieve successful OHSMS. Attitudes that had been influenced by management or organisational structure often become the reason of failure in a system (Yorio P.L and Wachter J.K, 2012).
