One of the data statistics that I wanted to focus on is the idea of learning. Learning has helped me through many different situations, whether it just be for school or for understanding other’s feelings. A person learning can help them improve from their mistakes and even make them better people. During my time at school, I personally have not experienced any forms of setbacks that would result in me having less educational opportunities. I am very grateful that I have the privilege to continue to expand my mindset and grow as a person. However, many others in America do not have this privilege. Especially in the South-eastern states, White students will have almost double the amount of educational opportunities than that of Black and Hispanic students. The graph from Propublica even showcases that this statistic is worse in other areas of America. The graph really displayed the situation of the educational system and made me realize how unjust it can be for others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the image, you can see that the educational opportunities for Black and Hispanic students is represented by the books on the Triple Beam Balance, a device used to measure the mass of objects. The scale is symbolic because of how it helps students better understand physics and allows them to do different experiments with varying masses. On the scale, the grey boxes visualize a white person’s educational opportunities. The scale showcases that the weight\/opportunities for Black\/Hispanic is underweighted to that of the opportunities possible for white people. This is even more apparent with the white bar being higher than it usually is, making the opportunities for Black and Hispanic students almost half to where it should be. The image is rather simple in nature, but can also be viewed differently from other perspectives. For example, one may also think that if the scale were used for other parts of the world, it could potentially break from the severe opportunity gap. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My question pertains more to the concept of representing the educational opportunities on the scale. Is the books a good representation of my idea, or would adding text\/another object help in distinguishing the symbolism?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
