Modern Movements and Social Change — Cumulative exam
Question 37 • CA-Ethnic Studies
In recent years, a community has struggled due to high unemployment and a lack of opportunity. Black and Latino residents in particular have faced several difficulties due to these issues. For example, many have been unable to find work because they lack a technical degree or a college education. To help solve the problem, the city council has accepted a bid from an online shopping company to build a new factory and warehouse in the area. Council members hope this will raise employment statistics within their community.Which initiative would most help achieve equity as this community changes?
Answer
A
providing affordable housing for workers within the community
B
reforming justice programs so that all residents are treated fairly
C
creating job-training programs that are available for all residents
D
requiring the company to provide health care for all employees
Explanation
The main barrier described is that many residents cannot qualify for available jobs because they lack technical or college education. Creating job-training programs available to all residents would help them gain skills needed for the new factory and warehouse jobs, making the economic change more equitable. Affordable housing, fair justice programs, and health care may also matter, but they do not directly address the stated employment barrier.
