Possible Causes of Problem

Why have african American youth basically given up on themselves?

- Education has become something that is look at as an option. You cannot CHOOSE to be education in today's society.
- other races don't have faith in african Americans so instead of proving them wrong, they give in to the stereotypes and prove them right.
- You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make him drink, you can lay all educational resources in front of the youth but you can't make them use it.
- No matter what we do, people will always look down on us so why try to change something that can't be changed? 

My Social Problem

Through my research I will investigate the lack of determination in today's youth. I don't understand our generation. Especially when looking at the African American youth. Individuals fought and died for our rights yet some of us take them for granted and even mock them. I don't understand it. But I want to find out why.
