Description
Individualism imposes principal responsibility for both achievements and failures on the individual. For a child who is privileged, institutionalized individualism provides an endorsed explanation for his/her success. For minority, low income, and other non-dominant culture children, it acts to undermine the support from their family/community resources while embracing the misleading notion that opportunities abound for all. This study explores/describes the experiences of several students who encounter poor education systems and their individual perceptions of these systems. This study discusses the psychological/ emotional /educational impacts of these systems on individuals.
