There Are No Children Here - If I Grow Up

There are no children here - if I am growing "I want to be a bus driver if I am growing" - if not. Such feelings are unforgettable through Alex Kotlowitz 's report on his 2 - year brothers Lafeyette and Pharoah Rivers' s two - year life record. In the Henry Horner Homes housing project on the outskirts of Chicago, the boys survived every day in the apartment, and they had little happiness and sorrow. When Kotlowitz found a boy 's mother LaJoe about a child' s book, she agreed with him, I felt it necessary to frank him.

On the other hand, hello ... I have little experience with little boys. I have no brothers and sisters. My growing friend is neither a boy nor a brother. How does it feel to bring up boys? I know this from a distance, memories of children's books and folk songs of boys' bands and adult men. Every day, like books, I will try to read your different page so that you can see your plot developing. But now your story is still in my imagination. You have small possibilities in your life, and your future victory and trials are not known.

Because we are responsible to help you shape them

The truth is that I have never seen an ordinary person in my life. Not one

When children study the project "What do you want to do when I grow up" they tend to work, they can see their own image. If they do not believe that there is a possibility that they will grow up and equalize, the white people are convinced that it is unlikely that they will be fascinated by being an idea CEO. For a long time this has led to the lack of racial and sexual diversity in the leadership position. Exercise: Please test it, close your eyes, imagine captains, mechanical engineers, terrorists, drug dealers. As you pass every moment your idea depicts a stereotype. What is their gender? What is their game? What is their body like? How old are they? What is their expression? What will they wear? Who do they date for? You will see your stereotype of your brain programmed
