Blog #8 - Class and Global Inequality

          The "House Rule" describes the difficulty people have based on inequality between race and class status. The first event of the podcast is about the education their children have based on class system they are. A teenager name Jada and her sister was transfer to Copley-Fairlawn public school from Akron, Ohio but then got discharge from Copley school because their mother gave the school their grandfather’s address not theirs. Jada and her sister didn’t live around the school district however their grandfather did, which is why they had to give his address but the school noticed and they couldn’t do that. According to the chapter, “the more money your family has, the better your education is likely to be” which its completely true. If you are poor family, the less you learn, the less activities you have, and the less opportunities however if you a rich family you have many opportunity and better education. The author from the podcast ask Jada “does it seem unfair to you that your life could be so different and your school would be so different just based on where you live and what school you go to?” which she respond “it’s the dumbest thing ever”. It seems unbelievable that to have a good education, you have to be in the same level as the other children learning in the school. I believe it’s unfair for people to judge others based on their class because everyone has the right to have an education even if their income are different. It also unreasonable for teens aren’t able to go to school in other area than where they live because they should have equal opportunity as any other kid upper, middle, and lower class.
             The next event is an example of race discrimination. The housing organization had send actors to do a testing if there were race discrimination for renting apartment. Based on the podcast, there was a African American woman name Kaaron who went to the building and rang the bell which the super couldn’t had eye contact yet and told the super that she was looking for a one bedroom apartment however when the super let her in the building he immediately told her he had no apartment available. She asks again and if he was the super but the super had said no and that he was the super from the building. Despite that, there was another woman but this time she was white, same age as Kaaron, the super had told her that there were two studios available. So according to this event, the super made race discrimination which it unbelievable. I think it’s not right that people use to judge people based on their skin color.
               In my opinion chapter 9 and The Global Inequality are related because they both talked about class inequality. People who were discriminated should fight for their rights to be equal and to stop discriminarion. I believe this situation should stop because people are being mistreated and in the future I hope we wouldn't be judge base on our race or color no matter where we come from and we will live a better life.
