EDZU 9005 (3 credits / 45 hours) | |||
Racial and Ethnic Issues in American Schools and Society will deal with the impact of relations between different groups of people in our schools, society, and nation. All students will look at the past, present, and future concerns that have hurt racial relations within the United States. This class will focus on the most recent racial violence that has erupted within our cities and communities that has hurt the peace and security of these areas for our citizens. We will identify the reasons why there have been many incidents that have shook the foundations of trust between minority groups and the police forces in their home towns. There will be a great deal of information that will be presented on the hardships that ethnic and racial groups are facing within the 21st Century and how these Americans and our newest immigrants are currently perceived in this society. All students will learn about the positives stories of these citizens to attain the "American Dream." While this country is a proud "melting pot" with people from every corner of this world, we will look at the recent political concerns that have been presented against wide scale immigration to this nation. This is an important look at the lives of our minority students from different races, ethnic groups, and even our oldest citizens, the Native Americans and the terrible problems that continue to hurt the reservations across the United States. All participants will have interesting readings, government studies, news clips, and movies that will best present this vital information on the difficulties, goals, and solutions of equality that our minority and ethnic students would like to achieve in our schools and communities . |
