Sociology Essay...?

Question

i have a sociology essay to complete by the 17th July.

its about the trend between ethnicity and exclusions in school.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Right now Palestinian students are excluded from Israeli Universities (see article below).

And the obvious answer to your question (for an American) is the separate schools for white and black students in our country until "Brown v. Board of Education."  If you go to an American school, I wouldn't be surprised if 75% of the class writes about this.

ANOTHER idea that I think is interesting, is the separation of the races in American schools RIGHT NOW!!!  Although schools are officially desegregated, the school system is unofficially segregated in many big cities where rich (mainly white) children are put in private schools, and the poor (mainly black) children must stay in public schools.  Jonathan Kozol has written many books about this topic.  The most recent (I think) is "The Shame of the Nation."  Also his books "Amazing Grace" (about life in the North Bronx ghetto - including talk about schools) and "Savage Inequalities" are classics.

Answer 2

Nope

Answer 3

find statistics on the trends of ethinicity and exclusions in schools compare them and add your own input as to why its happening, and list any causes/effects you can find.
