Latinxas Reflection

Writing, searching, and investigating this paper was really fun. I enjoyed searching and learning new material that I did not know. I really enjoyed picking a topic that I was really into and making a research essay. Meanwhile I was teaching others about the subject, I taught myself some material too. I taught the readers the significance behind Latinxs students and their struggle in the education category. I believe learning about this subject can give a huge value on everyone 's mentality. It is nice to learn about things that happened to different races and how they overcame such things. The more that you know, the better. I felt like if I did not get taught this material, I would never have known about such an empowering movement. I believe I offered all four levels of oppression in my essay. I expressed how and why of the issues throughout my paper. I showed how it can be very impacting to students who are being discriminated towards. I also suggested an idea to fix some issues. I indicated the ways it has saved the education of Latinxs today. …show more content…

It was my strongest because no matter how much I wanted to give my own opinion, I did not because it was a research paper. Some features of my paper that needs improving has to be connecting all my information to one paragraph, so the conclusion. I love to add so much information that may be too much is not so good. If I had one more week, I would add a little more information on the two individuals that I talked about.

  • Summary: The New Jim Crow

    350 Words  | 2 Pages

    I attended a high school that is predominately of color, however, I don't remember a time when a teacher taught the students about systemic racism. So, I decided to take the matter into my own hands – I pressured my history teacher to talk about the issues that currently affect people of color. I recommended a book called "The New Jim Crow" by Michelle Alexander to be taught the last few weeks of school. Surprisingly, the teacher agreed to add the book to the curriculum. We talked about systemic racism, the school-to-prison pipeline, and the prison industrial complex.

    If I were an African American in the segregated south, I believe that I would be particularly bothered by the “Separate but equal” facilities that were truthfully not equal. Furthermore, I believe I would have felt abandoned by state leaders who wanted African-Americans to live life as inferior to whites. I would also have been inspired by stories of Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., James Meredith, the Little Rock 9, and countless other courageous men and women who proved that the evils of segregation can be overcome by persistent non-violent protest. I would hope that hearing stories of the bravery of such individuals would encourage myself to seek to assert my rights in a peaceful

  • Intersectionality Reflection Paper

    987 Words  | 4 Pages

    Something that I’ve learned from this course was the term “intersectionality” and how that plays into equity. While isolating an issue does help in understanding its roots, the next step we should be taking is to understand the interconnecting nature of social identities. This many help us to become a more equitable society. For example, when Chelsea facilitated the workshop where we touched upon intersectionality in the pay gap, we learned how both gender and racial identity can affect an individual’s wage. While white women earn $0.74 to a white man’s dollar, black women only make $0.64.
