Another point Shaina hit that I agree with is, society likes to blame the victim since society believes sex discrimination is the cause of women's inequality. However they don't see the class discrimination. The biased viewpoints start to shape the mind of those who read censored textbooks.

I agree with the conversation, economic struggles with accepting the working class accomplishments are often overlooked. Higher ups in society tend to think little of those who work more but gain less. The "rich" mindset downplays hard work since they believe they're superior.

# data[].attributes.body
On Shaina's point about blaming the victims of economical inequality, I think this is an interesting topic to be expanded upon because of how it impacts class relationships. If it is the fault of lower classes that they struggle, higher classes (who actually cause the struggling and support the systems that cause the struggling) can continue to thrive without the threat losing their privilege and advantage. It creates almost an unbreakable cycle as the rich continue to get richer, and as they get richer, they have more power to silence the poor and get more money for themselves. And this discussion is important, rather than just thinking about it, because this is a topic that incites people to action.

i agree with melanie that history has a skewed point of view and centering around economy will always be a careful game bc they want to be neutral to sell as much as possible. the goal is always money smh

I agree with how the discussions are very valuable in education as they can understand every pov and know what's right and wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
A couple of people were talking about the importance of education in this discussion, so I wanted to highlight a portion of the text I found applicable. On page 207, the author uses the analogy of gender inequality. In summary, it was asked how girls could understand why they still face inequalities if they were presented with the idea that they've always had equal opportunities, just like what is said about social classes. I found this to be a very impactful point and made the argument very clear.

I agree with dalila that history textbooks cant identify and its beginning alienation because it still exists today

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the quote about teaching the students to help them learn off of the mistakes because this goes along with any idea in history that went wrong. There are many issues being censored and it's better to understand the truth

I agree with Nino that the past ideas can be hard to shake when trying to change the world bc it is like second nature

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Shaina since publishers need to publish textbooks with the whole truth. In order to help and see the information with 100% clarification, the textbook must not be censored since a textbook shouldn't be biased on what the reader sees and understands. Seeing and reading the information can help us comprehend the topic and it could help us determine how to move forwards if that certain topic reoccurs again.

To expand on Lena's point about the importance of class discussions, I personally think that these discussions are an incredibly powerful tool in both English and History. You can tell a kid to think about other peoples' points of view, but how can they know how to do that if they've never been face to face with an opposing view. If a person is stuck to their own musings, it creates the idea of an "echo tunnel." All they hear is their own voices and ideas (on social media, this is a result of the algorithm giving them only what they want to hear), which is a dangerous situation.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Dalila because gaining knowledge on history will help us from repeating mistakes made previously in history.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with how new perspectives would support the discussion and help spread the truth

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Shaina because there needs to be more discussions and textbooks that include facts that include equality and showing different view points.

# data[].attributes.body
Audrey-

I agree with Shana about her point that more discussions about textbooks should happen and that media should exspose the fakeness of the books taught to kids.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Lena because reading does help discover and understand new and different perspectives.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's a good point that if people were taught more inclusive history and taught what happens when a group of people think they're better than others, then it would close some of the rift between those groups of people

Leah makes a good point with ideas originated from the media that demonstrate the illusion that one becomes successful through their own rising.

Chris brings up how the schools curriculum install social concepts that may hide the inequality in the system.

Leah also connects to the idea that school,s also display media that downgrade those who oppose the system.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Robert as I also feel they are overshadowed and his quote went well with his thoughts

# data[].attributes.body
The idea that many believe that the lower class does not work as hard compared to the upper class due to the whole idea of "rags to riches" is great point to make as it truly shows how shared ideas and beliefs that are built up over time truly control people's ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Leah when she says that people don't believe that higher and lower social classes work equally as hard.

# data[].attributes.body
Pertaining to Angelina's question just the things that we learn in school can make rich people look higher than lower class people. An example of this is how many historical people that are discussed in class are mostly in higher social classes.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like Gilary had a great point about schools having the same opportunities. Her point was very strong and she provided a lot of background to it.

# data[].attributes.body
Angelina's question is a very thoughtful one as public education very often glamorizes history or portrays marginalized groups incorrectly and/or inaccurately. It adds to the spread of misinformation and can directly affect the way future generations think. The truth is not always beautiful.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Angelina because nepotism and privilege coming from parents plays a huge role in how rich people can become even more wealthy because of their relatives. I also agree that rich people feel this privilege and sense of being better than others.

# data[].attributes.body
Gilary brings a good point about the image of poor people being this, messy, unhappy, and overall uncivilized while rich people are pictured as this perfect family with a fancy lifestyle and a richer image.

# data[].attributes.body
I also agree with Audrey about how the system makes it seem like wealthy people have better opportunities and easier ways of getting through life while others stay struggling.

I also agree with Ashley about the economics and how they affect education and how people feel worse or less than others but also her point about media changing peoples perspectives on lower classes and higher classes

# data[].attributes.body
I found the topic of opportunity and how it reflects society interesting. Ignorance is bliss and it certainly taints the truth of history and is what has always occurred, especially with social classes.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Ashley that the media changes our perspective of the poor and wealthy as some wealthy people claim to have grown to their power on their own when it is not always the case and it creates false hopes and fixations for others who view them.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Angelina with how everyone that has lots of money and a successful job is pictured as a perfect family

Audrey shows a good point in that our system favors wealthier people.

Angelina says a good point of how our system will cover up how people are because of their money

# data[].attributes.body
S: I agree with Audrey because in a same way, police officers have a lower bail than other criminals which gives them privilege.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Audrey with the points made of opportunity and how it is hidden. People often are held back without knowing and it further deprives society of what could happen but are stuck with what happens.

I agree with Audrey's point of view because it became so much of a problem in New Jersey that they had to change the law to limit the bail of richer people.

Nino:

Angelina's first point is a good idea because it shows how America will highlight and portray the middle class as hard working and good people in order to paint a good picture for the country

Audrey made a good point about the bailing system and how the higher classes have the money at their disposal to get out of bail and do well in court where as the lesser class are at a clear disadvantage.

Ashley made a good point about how economics effects the ability to educate when working parents have to live in lesser sectors with lesser quality of education

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Angelina because I also think society does a job job making people feel highlighted while others feel worse about their struggles and create an ideal of people almost seen as a "perfect American"

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Audrey that our system favors the wealthy and her example that it is hard for somebody with less money to get a lawyer than it is for a wealthy individual reflects on the topic of inequality very well.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Angelina that the image of a 'perfect American' with success and money plays a large role in inequality.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Angelina about how they left it out to paint the picture of being a "Perfect American".
