Brutality of The Societal System Of United States

Question: Discuss about the Uncovered The Brutality of The Societal System Of United States? Answer: Introduction Education is the building block of a childs nature and behaviour that is influenced by the immediate environment of that child. When a child is growing in a school then he or she takes lot of lesson that are related with his or her study, individual behavior and social behavior. This paper is a brief comparison of my experience with the experience of Jonathan Kozol during ours school time. Discussion Jonathon Kozol is an advocate who is tirelessly fighting for the civil rights in education or last five decades. From his experience during the activity of civil right for education, Kozol wrote the book Savage Inequalities that uncovers the fact of educational system in United States. In Savage Inequalities Kozol has shared his experience during the visit of a public school in the city of East St. Louis, the poorest city in America (Kozol, 2012). It was virtually a city of black people with no facility. The school in the city was also a victim of the government ignorance that was highly evident. The school in that city was out of every primary facility such as students had no books to read, windows have no glass, no light was there and sewage was overflowing in the class. According to the theoretical perspective of the book Schools and Society every public has, the same right to get the primary facility, even all the students within the school are eligible for the same treatment from the teachers and administration (Ballantine Spade, 2001). If administration and tutor of the school is segregating the students according to race and poverty while treating them, then it becomes inherent within the students. This mentality is poisonous for the society that may lead to social riot in the future. If we compare our school, which is Highland Park Senior High School then it will show a different scenario. In our school, all the primary facilities was available for the student such as study books, good class environment and good ratio of student and teacher that helps all of us to grow in life. However, if we consider the poverty level among the student then there was a clear segregation among the student that was created by the administration (Logan et al., 2012). This type of segregation was not intended because it always divides friends at that stage of life and students start to learn that white people of the rich people will get the best facility. This type of social division should not be there in the school whereas according to the Kozol it is better to provide same treatment in the public school for every student however government could provide tax benefit to the poor people so that future generation of the country get the right education (Curtis Jackson, 2013). Conclusion From this essay it can be summarized that the name of the book was justified that Uncovered The Brutality Of The Societal System Of United States. Childs of America was also the victim of that discrimination where upper class school students gets all the facilities to grow in their life whereas the lower class students struggle to survive in their life.
