A Way Forward It is evident that the relationship between race and class is far more intricate than popular belief. Since the industrializing era, the class has become far more important than race in terms of life chances and success. It is for this reason that Wilson believes that race-specific policies are inefficient and unproductive. A growing economic divide exists between the lower-class and middle-class blacks. Unfortunately, race-specific policies such as Affirmative Action Programs brought out in the 1960s only...

Throughout this weekâs learning, I can explore my thinking and take into...

Some argue that beliefs don't directly influence teaching. I strongly disagree. I believe that one's beliefs and values influence the way we live, work, and interact with others. I believe our teaching and learning methods...
