Understanding Disparity and Inequity in society
Understanding Disparity and Inequity in society
By 6th Grade
In this project, the students answer the following question:
" How can the 6th grade students analyze the effect that colonization had in creating inequity and disparity within society?”
Students will be analysists, authors, and speakers ( and potential advocates) for equity/disparity by utilizing the materials from Social Studies to research and the scaffolds from ELA to write their position.
This e-book represents some of the work they have done.

How did colonization affect our society
There is much inequality in America and in other parts of the world colonization did help grow America but it also helped grow inequality and disparity and I'm gonna prove it to you .
The black lives matter movement started with a goal they wanted to change white peoples perspectives of other colored people.Now because of our ancestors people think all black people are bad but don't judge a book by its cover.So if you don't know a person don't judge them.
People from Mexico are trying to come to the USA but instead of letting them in they are forced to cross the border and children get separated from their parents and locked in cages like some animals.What about the wall that trump almost build. People from Mexico come to give a better life to their children not trying to let them get locked in cages.
To sum up i think we shouldn't not be treating black people or Hispanics like this . We shouldn't look at their color skin or race to know if their a good person what matters is in inside . We shouldn't let our past define us Because if we do we might not get better .inequality is a big problem in our society.

The world with Racism and Discrimination
You see a black man and a white man near a bus stop the white man says that the black man cant come in the bus because he is black. ( What will you do).
If that person was you how will you feel? I will feel unequal because the white man is being racis to the black man just because he or she is black. We are all the same we make mistakes but we have to learn that being racism is not cool it makes people feel unequal. we need to treat others the same way/nice. Because who knows if you are the next victim and they start talking about your skin color. Although colonization was effective for growth in the United States, it's negative effects are still affecting society in the areas of racism and discrimination.
racism makes your life harder. You could be the next victim just for your skin color. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Said," we are all brothers and sisters, we should treat each other same way we treat our love ones "A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right". Saying nothing, and not doing anything, can lead the mean person to do what they want if you're not saying anything they will think they could do things that they shouldent be doing.
Discrimination is the unfair or prejudicial treatment of people. The Europeans in the country were mostly blind to dignity of indigenous peoples. Just like the Europeans people will be racism to others. people today aren't that racism back than when Dr.Luther King Jr there was aolt of racism.
The colonization had a great effect on the production of racism and discrimination in the country since Europeans saw other races very differently due to their color, origin and even thoughts, these were some of the negative effects on society. Perhaps you have been a victim of some of these negative effects because they continue to exist and perhaps you cannot stop it but now we can defend ourselves with rights.

Colonization created more inequity and disparity in our world today
Today there is segregation that colonization has caused.Colonization started more inequity and disparity today, when the first Americans got there there were already natives there so they people who were going there made a town and they forced the natives to move out of where they were living.
The natives were forced a way and the people had colonized and that started segregation which had inequity and disparity by the people that forced away the natives, then the people had a better life than the natives because they had better stuff. When they natives were forced out of where they were living they would have to find a new place to live they would have to adapt to new things and the people that forced them out of where they were living they didn't have to experience new things because they had brought food that they can cook. That's why people today are still treating others with no respect because they think of themselves as higher than the people that have less stuff than them.
Colonization has created disparity in today's world by having they people that forced the natives out of where they were living have a better life than the natives.That resulted in today where people that have more money treat other people like they are a peasant and they boss them around.People act like this because they think they are better than them, when the people got to America they kicked out the natives because they thought they were better than them.From there people today think they are sometimes better than other people.
To sum it up colonization caused a lot of things.Colonization caused disparity and inequity to grow worse and worse after years.
