Many of the Americans living in poverty would be interested in attending college, but are unable to due to the rising costs of tuition. While the colleges do have to earn money in order to pay for the expenses that running such a large institution entails, the amount of money that they charge each student is entirely too much. The government should intervene and create a way to provide the same college education at an affordable cost. This would allow more people living in poverty to attend college and earn a degree, which would open a lot of doors for the poorest citizens in the country. As Yeskel discussed in her essay, “the importance of college for upward mobility has grown; a college degree now equals a high school degree in years past” (Yeskel 6).The social class system is exceedingly difficult to overcome, and it can become even more challenging when the lower class citizens are uneducated and not given the tools that they need to succeed.

By the end of the 1960s, Mexican-Americans constituted one of largest ethnic groups on the western coast of the U.S, surpassing African Americans and continued to grow in other communities across the nation. Although many Hispanic Americans, often well-established and older families who had assimilated to a greater degree, were successful and held influential positions such as Cubans in Miami, newly arrived Mexican Americans were not as educated and often filled low-paying, unskilled service jobs, with little benefits or job security. This group of Mexican Americans closed off to the rest of American society due to language barriers, discrimination and lack of community organization would take much more time in developing political influence than other, established minorities.

Having colored people wrongfully accused of a crime just because of the color of their skin can be dangerous to the preservation and promotion of our country. People may get jumpy and shoot a civilian, because racial bias in media has changed their attitude towards a specific race as said hear by Lisa Wade, “Studies of Americans’ unconscious beliefs shows that most people — white and black — think black people are dangerous and both average folks and police are quicker to shoot black than white people” (Wade). Who can we trusted to uphold the law if our law-enforcers kill people unlawfully, because of the color of their skin? How can we fight united against terrorism, global warming, new diseases and viruses, and everything else if we can’t get over a problem that has been in our lives since before this country even became a nation?

Both players excel on and off the court with their style of play. Offensively, Bryant can play anywhere from the point guard all the way to the small forward due to his 6 '6, 205 lbs frame.
