A Short Demographic Analysis Pertaining To Education In Georgia
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing some of the uses of demographic studies, but focusing more on a demographic analysis of regions of Georgia based on data collected in the 1990 census, comparing the striated regions of the state with each other according to state averages. Assuming that all other conditions remain the same, it is reasonable to forecast trends indicated by demographic studies. Georgia education data is compared to that of the US as a whole, but the paper points out the problems inherent in comparing some categories, such as 'high school by grade' vs 'did not complete high school.' Bibliography lists 7 sources.

A Social View of Race, Class and Gender
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing our failure to adequately define the influences of these three aspects of society, focusing on the issue of defining poverty in the context of that faced by single mothers. It has been said that in order to attack a problem, it is first necessary to define that problem. This appears to be a stumbling block in overcoming the negative effects of race, class and gender in society. Despite the fact that the accepted “formula” has not been made workable, observers continue to try to make it fit. One author lists a variety of budget categories for a low-income family, concluding that there is not enough left for food and housing. The paper argues that those living financially marginal lifestyles are better qualified to define budget categories and priorities, and concludes that we often take the same skewed approach to discussing race and gender as well. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
