It is commonly accepted that one of the major ways to fight the many different systematic injustices in this country is through education which raises awareness of many injustices and guides to the main solution. Though this is the case, and though education is key in helping all the undermined communities struck by inequality to overcome that the inequality, the educational system is tangled in with injustices with gender and social class education. One common systematic injustice that I have seen in today’s society is the systematic injustice that is related to the gender and social class of education. I grew up in an area surrounded by a lot of gender and class inequality since I also live in a place like Chicago. There are particular schools in the city of Chicago where they have made the price so high that only upper or upper middle class people can afford it. In addition to this, I saw the many different public and private schools which only take a majority of men rather than females in the same education line which really caught my attention.
This injustice has a huge impact on the well being of many people that don’t earn as much as others, or children that are a part of a very low income family. I also feel that gender equality is very important and both girls and boys should earn the same education. The systematic injustice for this is very unnecessary because both women and men should be treated equally and getting the same education to start out with. The idea that the schools don’t have equality drives a heavy impact into kids who aren’t getting an education but maybe their neighbors. Education is a top priority for many people and not being able to get one is very harmful to their well-being. For this wrong to be righted, we really need to change the way the system is held in place right now.

Why do people not have a say in the way education works here in big cities? Everybody should be treated equally no matter who they are and where they are from. This is a big flaw in the system and drives many people into a bad state of mind which really can cause a lot of injustice among the crowds and causes injustice in the city as well.
