Social Issues Assessment

Question 1

The primary objective of schools in the United States is to provide capable citizens who contribute to the economy, to improve equality, and address other issues within the society (Labaree, 2012). Consequently the goals of education such as an improvement in equality, reduction of crime, and protection of the environment are all public goods. In essence, they contribute to an improvement in the social welfare more than they address private welfare. On the other hand, access to opportunity implies personal benefits from education as would be explained by working opportunities derived from academic qualifications. Therefore, education is both a private and a public good due to the varied benefits accrued by beneficiaries of the American education system.
