B. SUMMARIZING THE ISSUE (page 182)

1. The issue (state in your own words):
Segregation of education is very evident in the US between Americans of
European and Americans of African. The Governments and educators seeking a
method the incorporation of schools by busing in the which children from
predominantly white school system were sent in buses to black school or vice versa,
magnet school, and voucher programs in the which each child receives a voucher that
can be spent on any public or private school.

Some Africans-Americans as well Busing is ironic that children must

have left their own communities, in spend so much time travelling to
order to live safer areas with better school on buses when avoiding
school. This has left inner-city busing was one of the original
children

with fewer successful, reasons for the Brown v. Board of

and instead has allowed the negative
example of drug pushers to take
their place.
2.

Busing by fleeing the inner city for

the suburbs; others have enrolled
children in private schools.

b. Magnet school:

1.

Africans-American parents see the

emphasis on getting white students
enroll in the magnet school as an
insult.

c. Voucher Programs:
1.

Voucher programs may lead to

more segregated schooling as the
more highly educated parents tend
to do the research that is needed to
choose the best school.

C. VALUE CLARIFICATION (page 182)

1. Has racial segregation been problem in schools in your country? If so, how have
people of government dealt with it?
Discrimination of education in Indonesia is in the form of class division
classes for students of high and average academic achievement. Schools that
create this kind of discrimination will create discriminate learning process. This
happens because teachers feel comfortable teaching in superior class and feel
burdened if taught in the regular classroom. The next result, teachers will also
give more attention to students in the classroom excellence. Psychological effects
for students who sit in regular classrooms are low self-esteem, while the students
sit in the excellent class will feel proud. More dangerous when they are next
grade, the states of this kind continue to be maintained. In terms of social contact,
students with students from other classes will be farther away, not know each
other, although schools in the same school. It would be dangerous if it is then
embedded in a child.
The Government has made the standardization that should be run.
Implementation is done gradually be understandable if there is a time limit as the
model of SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats). I think, dont
make discrimination in education. Change views of the actual educational goals.

Education is for equality instead of oppression. Discrimination in education does

not deserve to be maintained and allowed to be entrenched.
2. Study the proposals for integration in the United States presented in your notes
from summarizing the issue. What are your reactions to these proposals? Would
they have any significance in your country?
I think voucher program is more effective to segregate American European
and African school because by voucher program students more highly educated
parents tend to do the research that is needed to choose the best school. No, it is
not have any significance in my country.

B. SUMMARIZING THE ISSUE (page 94-95)

1. The issue (state in your own words):
Drug is one of the problems in the U.S. Each year issued U.S $ 8 billion for the war
on drugs. But, many people consider "drug war" does not solve the problem of drug
addicts. The American people are looking for solutions to address the drug problem.
One solution is to make the drug legal.
2. Proponents (of legalization) arguments:
1) People who support this proposal believe that the current policies of prosecution
and punishment are waste of money. They feel that more money should be spent
on education on treatment, arguing that the black market drives the prices of drugs
too high, providing an incentive to get into the drug business. If drugs were made
legal, they say, drug dealers would lose their big incomes, and drug-related crime
would decrease.
2) Drug legalization has been supported by a variety of leaders, from the most
conservative to the most liberal, from secretaries of state to federal district judge
who advocate the sale of drugs at prices resembling their costs.
3. Opponents (of legalization) arguments:

1) Advocates of legalization see drugs as a health problem rather than as a criminal

justice problem. As it now, they say anyone who is caught using drugs is treated as
a criminal not as an addict who needs help.
2) Those who oppose the legalization of drugs feel that decriminalizing drugs would
be a surrender in a drug war that has not really even begun. For them, the solution
is not to decriminalize drug crime but to make laws more severe.
3) Opponents of legalization also point to China. When drugs there were made legal,
the selling of opium increased and fanned the drug trade rather than slowed it
down.
