In my research portfolio, I analyze articles with their main focus on the inequality taking place in the United States education system, as well as the varying education systems across the world. The inequality that is prospering in the United States has created a societal life cycle that is very difficult to break free of for the disadvantaged minority groups. The injustice also has a powerful effect on the formative years of a child’s life which are very important to developing the moral code and opportunities one needs to live an optimistic, successful life. This cycle has also helped the white privilege flourish because of the majority amount of biased mindsets in positions of power that strengthen the grip that racism and discrimination have on racially/ethnically diverse people. The injustice taking place around the world is significantly damaging the human race, especially the people struggling to live a life without the hardships that follow them because of the color of their skin and the toxic organizational culture that they are forced into.
I used many sources that contained studies and experiments that shared the firsthand accounts from the participants. These included student-teachers, teachers, and professors, and they helped me make sense of the deeper problem at hand. The primary sources I’m missing are the perspectives of people of color, an article from someone who has a personal connection would help me comprehend the problem monumentally. Our education system is failing for so many children because our higher education system is not providing the preservice teachers with adequate multicultural awareness and openmindedness that is crucial in the role that a teacher has for these children. My target audience I plan on writing for is the educators of our lower and higher education systems in hopes to inform them of the complex issue they are a large part of. My paper will act as a policy framework for an educational organization, with a main focus on informing the workforce of the complexity of the situation and how to improve their organizational culture. This will allow me to appropriately address my audience without leaving them with more questions, it will also help me stay within my boundaries of knowledge which limits me in creating a longer scholarly article. I will use conciseness in smaller paragraphs giving the quotes and infographics a larger role. It is clear that the biased mindset that is held by much of our population is the cause of an unfair culture that only works for the systemically privileged white community, and we must address it with a stronger urgency if we ever want to see real change.
