Different And Unequal Experiences

History shows that men have always been the head of our society. There are more woman who are receiving their education now than ever before. They are having the opportunity to become lawyers, doctors, engineers. However, the gender gap in wages are still about the same. Men are still making more money than women performing the same job. In the workplace Non-Hispanic whites still dominate the management positions. African Americans are still at a lower management position. Also in Chapter 13 it explains that men who are white males with a criminal history are able to be employed more than an African American man without a criminal history. In chapter 13 is states that " White children and Black children received different and unequal experiences

in the public school system, creating disparities in attainment and educational outcomes (Orfield, Kucsera, & Siegel-Hawley, 2012). If African American children are not given the oppurtunity for a great education they will probably stay in poverty. This could lead to a revolving door for the next generation. The lower the income and the more poverty the less resources the community may have. Also the schools with lower income had less advancement classes for the children. With the legal system it shows that Black individuals have more run ins with the police than Whites. The law enforcement tend to Racial profile Blacks. "Stop and frisk” is something that a police use when they believe that a person is a suspicious. Studies show that black and latin individuals were stopped more than any other race. Also when the case goes to trial depending on the racial makeup of the jury more blacks were found guilty than whites and more were sentenced to death. Economically, the gap is slowly but surely widening between the richer and the poorer. The economic system favors the wealthy more than ever before.
