Disproportionate Levels of Educational Achievement Among White
In his comprehensive analysis of disproportionate levels of educational achievement among White and African American students, titled “Powerful Pedagogy for African American Students: A Case of Four Teachers,” researcher Tyrone C. Howard examines the role of teacher effectiveness in terms of reaching this distinct student population. As Howard observes in the opening of his article, “effectively teaching African American students continues to be one of the most pressing issues facing educators ... (and) despite the plethora of school restructuring and educational reforms, the disproportionate underachievement of African American students is a consistent occurrence in U.S. schools” (179), and this alarming phenomenon provides the central premise of his subsequent investigation. Howard elects to focus his qualitative study on the diverse range of socioeconomic, cultural, and regional factors which are likely to exert an impact on the continued underachievement trend within African American student groups. He is also concerned with assessing the role that teacher effectiveness plays in influencing the eventual achievement level of African American students, observing that the disproportional placement of African American students in remedial or special education programs is likely attributable to the growing gap in comprehension between students and those tasked with instructing them. By examining the import of Howard’s conclusions in conjunction with a pair of contemporary contributions to the literature – Mwalimu J. Shujaa’s “Education and Schooling You Can Have One without the Other,” and Carter G. Woodson’s “The Mis-Education of the Negro” – one can begin to draw objective conclusions regarding the phenomenon of underachievement among African American students.

Diversity effects on communication
Distinct and unique cultures are developed when people live and work in association. These diverse cultures assemble an affluently varied collection of standards and customs. The consequential cultural diversity not only inflates choices but also facilitates the human beings to cultivate a mixture of skills, morals, values and worldviews. Cultural diversity, thus, proves to be a mainspring for individualistic and communal sustainable development. It is exceedingly important for every one of us to cherish, defend, preserve and revere the cultural diversity of the world ("Cultural Diversity" 2011).
