Separate and Unequal

 Separated and unequal, after so many people fought to end this situation, here we are, more segregated than before. The book mentions how schools were divided, as were bars, bus stations, cafes, and other places of recreation. Today we say that we are not segregated and that we are inclusive, but the reality is different, we still have white neighborhoods. and neighborhoods of people of color, the same with jobs, universities, and schools. For a community to ensure equality for young people in the educational system, the needs of each person must be prioritized instead of focusing on race, culture, or skin color. The community is required to seek the well-being and progress of students by providing them with the necessary resources to be successful. It takes union, courage, actions, and contributions that make a difference, segregation and inequality need to end, so that people of color, immigrants, and women have the same rights as others. 


 We have schools that need materials and equipment to offer a better service to students, but society prefers to help the rich and keep the poor. Both videos show the reality of many people, to be successful and have a good future you need a good education, and that requires tools that help in the growth and development of minds; They call children lazy for not wanting to read when in reality they do not have books, they are criticized for not doing things but they are not offered the necessary materials to do them. People will always decide what is best for themselves, but we must also think about the young people who need it most, they are also capable of achieving great things in society, but they are not being allowed to do so quite the opposite. They are isolating them, segregating them more every day.


Educational equality is nothing more than offering tools and resources for each student without distinction. However, I prefer an education not only with equality but also with equity, I mean that not everyone will be able to achieve their objective using the same sources of information, some will need more than others, or perhaps a different procedure, that is why we must inform to our community that equality and equity are key so that young people can have a better education and a prosperous future. White, rich, poor, black, mixed race, Latino, everyone deserves a good education and deserves to receive the resources that best help them achieve their goals. Only by making society aware of this issue can we end segregation and inequality and obtain a united and successful society.

This is an option that our current system should not consider, it is unnecessary and does not benefit minorities, and only creates disputes and conflicts between those who do want to get ahead but do not have the necessary resources, with those who do have the resources. but they don't want to study, or they don't take advantage of them. Society must remain united and create trust and support so that we can all have opportunities that help us grow as people.
