Week 4 Discussion 2
Current Social Issues: Educational Inequality
According to conflict theorists, the persistence of social class
inequality can be linked to educational institutions in the United States.
Although education is asserted to be a social equalizer, many argue that the educational system is a mechanism of social reproduction that maintains social
inequality rather than ensuring equality of opportunity. For this discussion,
you will read Chapters 10 and 11 of the text, Sociology: Beyond Common
Sense, and review the article, Foundations of Educational Inequality.
Answer the
following questions:
·
What factors influence the quality of education that an individual
receives?
·
How is social class reproduced through the educational system?
·
How is this continuing educational inequality impacting other social
institutions?
