In this week’s article, it mainly talked about how people face injustice that is oppressed under power. The author clearly states how a small group of people use their powers and resources to shape the world by their liking. I really like two sentences in the book. First, “Those with the most resources, wealth, and power are not only concerned with accumulating more wealth; rather, the goal is to dictate how the world operates and how people function in this world.” The author tells readers what men of power think and how they act to control their wealth. Those people are often two-faced and selfish. They will act good to one to make he work for them; they can easily sell out their cooperators for the benefit. This sentence tells people that they need critical thinking to distinguish right from wrong. The second sentence is “One of the earliest, most effective, and longest lasting of these tactics involves creating hierarchical differences—for example, through race, gender, and culture.” This explains how the social gap forms between different groups of people. After understanding how this is started, it will help us to end it. We can eliminate these hierarchical differences by giving fair opportunities to all races. This will quickly bring all races together.
Question: What are the ways to eliminates hierarchical differences that you can think about in the education system?
