Background Objectives
My major objective is to understand the root-cause of the structural inequality with the aim to become a change agent by helping some of the third world countries revamp their education systems so that they provide equal opportunities for their children.
My paper will be organized into two chapters. Chapter one will be devoted to the root cause of the structural inequality, social stratifications and the disasters that Social Darwinism brought to humanity; especially the racial oppression against aboriginal and the black people in the United States. In chapter two I will examine the role of corporate influence in deciding the fate of our children's education.

1. To understand the mechanisms by which systemic oppression is produced and reproduced.

3. To gain strategies for transforming inequality in education and/or other social systems.
4. To understand the experiences of oppression through the voices of those who live it.
