The document provides information on the United States of America, including:
- It is a country comprising 50 states with a population of over 327 million, making it the third most populous country. Its capital is Washington D.C. and largest city is New York City.
- Paleo-Indians first migrated to North America over 12,000 years ago and the U.S. emerged from WWII as a global superpower and nuclear power. It enacted major civil rights legislation in the 1960s.
- Public education is operated by state/local governments and regulated by the Department of Education. School attendance is required from ages 6-18. The U.S. spends more on education per student
This document provides an overview of the population and history of the United States. It begins with a brief history of Native American settlement thousands of years ago and European colonization starting in the 1600s. It then covers key topics like American chronology, religion, politics, top universities, the economy, and current population statistics. The population is highly urbanized and diverse, with the largest ethnic groups being non-Hispanic whites, Hispanics, blacks, and Asians.
The document discusses religious diversity and pluralism in America over time. It notes that there are two contrasting views of America as either a predominantly Christian nation or as a pluralistic society where no one group dominates.

In contrast, the percentage of Americans with no religious affiliation has risen. Younger generations are more likely to be religiously unaffiliated. The share of non-Christian faiths has also grown modestly. The document suggests strategies for dealing with religious diversity in education that promote respect and sensitivity to different beliefs.

This article aims to analyze the causes of the popular uprising currently occurring in the United States that resulted from the murder of George Floyd, a black American handcuffed by a white policeman in Minneapolis, who knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes until he was dead. This event served as a starting point for a rallying cry in more than 100 American cities against, not only racism, but also against the social ills suffered by the great majority of the American population, especially by the black population, which were aggravated for the spread of the new Coronavirus that contributed to driving the North American economy into recession and to the dizzying rise of unemployment in the United States.
The document discusses several areas of social and economic inequality in the USA, including wealth, employment, health, education, housing, and crime. It provides evidence that ethnic minorities such as Black and Hispanic Americans face significantly higher rates of poverty, unemployment, lack of health insurance, lower life expectancy, higher school dropout rates, lower home ownership, and higher rates of incarceration when compared to white Americans. The inequalities are linked to issues of discrimination, unequal access to resources and opportunities, and concentration of minorities in low-income urban areas with underfunded public services and higher crime rates.
The US population was approximately 310 million in 2010, with most people identifying as white (66%), Hispanic (15.1%), black (12.9%), Asian (5.1%), or Native American (0.9%). The population is growing by around 1% each year, and is projected to reach 440 million by 2050, with 80% of that increase coming from new immigrants and their descendants. Hispanics currently make up the largest minority group but are expected to triple in size and comprise 29% of the population by 2050 based on current trends. It is also expected that 20% of Americans will be immigrants by 2050.
The Borgen Project is a non-profit organization founded by Clint Borgen that works to address global poverty and starvation through political advocacy in the United States.

The document discusses the history and challenges facing African American families in the United States. It describes how slavery made it difficult for African American slaves to form family units and the high mortality rates further complicated family formation. Over time, African American families developed their own system of kinship that emphasized extended family and community. However, policies in the 20th century disproportionately impacted African American families and removed children from their homes at higher rates due to biases in the system. Research shows African American children are overrepresented in the child welfare system today.
1) The document discusses teen pregnancy rates among different racial groups in the US, with 70% of adolescents identifying as white only. 2) Risk factors for teen pregnancy included living in disadvantaged neighborhoods, lack of parental involvement, and low household income. 3) During middle adolescence, many teens experiment with risky behaviors like drug use and unprotected sex which can lead to pregnancy.
The document discusses the dynamics of 21st century minority students in the United States. It notes that currently 36.3% of the US population belongs to a racial or ethnic minority group, including African American, Hispanic American, Asian American, and Native American. It discusses some key challenges faced by minority students, such as high rates of unwed mothers and teen pregnancy, the influence of social trends like popular clothing styles, and the effects of growing up in a digital world with easy access to technology. The document emphasizes the important roles that parental and family engagement, building positive relationships, and addressing social and environmental challenges play in supporting minority students.

It finds that Latino children in California are more likely than other groups to live in low-income households and experience food insecurity. Latinos also have less access to healthy food retailers in their communities. As a result, Latinos in California have higher rates of being overweight, obese, and experiencing related chronic health conditions like diabetes.

The importance of bilingual education in america (1)KobeBryan18
Bilingual education provides several benefits in the classroom, business, and politics according to the document. In the classroom, students who are educated in both their native language and English are better able to learn the language and continue learning core subjects. A study found bilingual students scored higher on math and reading tests. In business, being bilingual can earn workers $7,000 more per year in Florida due to cognitive benefits. Politicians are also using Spanish language ads more to reach the growing Hispanic population, which made up 18% of the US population in 2016.

Alston, Philip [2017] Statement on Visit to the USA, UN Special Rapporteur on...jdaglish
The UN Special Rapporteur visited the US to examine extreme poverty and its impact on human rights. Through meetings across multiple states, they observed many living in deep poverty without access to basic needs. While some local initiatives aim to help, US policies are exacerbating inequality and poverty rates remain high compared to other wealthy nations. The Special Rapporteur concludes that extreme poverty persists in the US due to a lack of political will to address its root causes, including an undermining of democracy, illusory emphasis on employment, and shortcomings in basic social protections for vulnerable groups like indigenous peoples.
ABSTRACT : The United States is considered a nation built by immigrants. This has had multiple influences on its cultural and linguistic shaping. Various groups and communities have contributed their languages, cultures, and beliefs. Societal norms, legislations, educational systems and reforms have been enacted that ultimately shaped the current educational system. Historically, this process has not always been fair to minority groups, resulting in prejudistic views and legislation against certain groups. The historical view presented in this article examines cultural and linguistic diversity in the U.S., common perceptions of immigrants, history of assessments and policies affecting culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) populations, legislation affecting CLD populations, and how they influenced the educational system.

The document also provides current statistics on poverty rates in the US.
Racism in the United States has historically manifested against African Americans, Asians, Italians, Poles, Native Americans, Latinos and other immigrant groups. Most Americans believe that other religions besides Christianity can lead to salvation, including Hinduism and Islam. The traditional food in the United States is very varied due to its history as a country of immigrants from Europe, Asia, Africa and elsewhere. Prior to higher education, American students attend elementary and secondary school for a total of 12 years.

A New Political Beat- Beyond Red and Blue StatesLerma Agency
Millennials are the most diverse generation in U.S. history and will have significant influence in the upcoming 2016 presidential election. A study found that while Millennials hold more liberal views than older generations on social issues, there are differences between ethnic groups - Hispanic Millennials are more likely than others to support labeling genetically engineered foods, for example. Surprisingly, Hispanic Millennials expressed the greatest national pride despite being the least likely to have deep American heritage. Overall, Millennials are more open-minded than previous generations and believe following politics is their responsibility, with the majority supporting left-leaning policies and the Democratic party.
Infant Mortality Rate in the US Compared to SwedenKarissa Braden
This document compares the infant mortality rates of the United States and Sweden. It finds that the US has a much higher infant mortality rate despite being wealthier and spending more on healthcare. The US rate is 2.5 times higher than Sweden's. The document attributes the US's high rate to factors of high inequality, including income inequality, a large uninsured population, and racial inequality. These inequalities lead to limited access to resources and healthcare, especially among minority and low-income groups.

But Hillary Clinton received overwhelming support from Asian Americans (65 percent), Hispanic Americans (66 percent), and especially African Americans (88 percent).
If only these categories of the population had voted, the election would have been a Democratic landslide of historic proportion.
The political choices people make when they vote in elections are not simply personal preferences, but they also reflect race, ethnicity, and other societal factors.

Race
Socially constructed category of people who share biologically transmitted traits that members of a society consider important
Meanings and importance of race vary across time and place.
No society contains biologically “pure” people.
There is more genetic variation within each racial category than between categories.

According to projections from the Census Bureau, the United States will have a minority majority in the year 2044, less than thirty years from now.
By that time, as the figure shows, the white, non-Hispanic population will actually decline, as the number of Asian Americans, African Americans, and especially Hispanic Americans increases.
What changes do you expect this trend will bring to the United States?

EDUCATION IN THE U.S. AND FINLAND 2
Abstract
This paper addresses selected factors contributing to the educational outcomes in the U.S.
compared to Finland. The U.S. system is the focus, but it is compared and contrasted to the
education system in Finland because the international comparisons of educational outcomes
position Finland at the top of the list. Basic information related to education and employment in
each country is provided, and the tools used to measure educational outcomes are explained.
The literature review provides suggestions regarding the possible causes of educational
disparities within the U.S., as well as the factors contributing to educational outcomes. In
addition, the results of an empirical survey of college students’ opinions about the factors
playing the most important role in shaping educational outcomes are presented, analyzed, and
interpreted by means of selected sociological classical and contemporary theoretical
perspectives.
EDUCATION IN THE U.S. AND FINLAND 3
Education in the United States and Finland: A Comparative Analysis
This analysis was conducted in order to examine educational disparities within the United
States (U.S.) education system. Within this system, there exists evidence of disparities between
funding, curriculum, and test scores. Some schools have higher or lower funding, varying
curriculum content, and a wide range of test scores, depending on the school. This thesis is
based on two major components: one based only on secondary sources & another one based on
data I generated by conducting an exploratory study of college students’ opinions about the
factors contributing to disparities in education and education outcomes. Both the literature
review and the survey focus solely on the U.S. system of education with no comparisons made to
the education system in any other country. The importance of the literature review rests on the
illustration of disparities in educational attainment within the U.S. education system and the
discussions surrounding these disparities. The survey is important because it provides an
appraisal of the assessment that college students have about the U.S. education system.
Knowing how college students assess the current education system is crucial to the future of the
U.S. education system because they are the future educators and leaders of the U.S.
I chose to assess the education system in Finland and compare it to the education system
in the United States because, although Finland has a smaller economy .
The document discusses the changing racial and ethnic composition of the United States population. It notes that minorities currently comprise over 30% of the population and will become the majority by 2050, with Hispanics increasing from 16% to over 30% of the population. The country is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse. It also briefly discusses the historical backgrounds and current demographic characteristics of the major racial groups in America: Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and Native Americans.

I’ll also show you the process for submitting a patch and getting that tested and committed.
End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.

3. History
The date of the start of the history of the United States is a
subject of debate among historians. Older textbooks start
with the arrival of Christopher Columbus on October 12, 1492
and emphasize the European background of the colonization
of the Americas, or they start around 1600 and emphasize the
American frontier. In recent decades American schools and
universities typically have shifted back in time to include more
on the colonial period and much more on the prehistory of
the Native Americans.
4. About USA
The United States of America commonly known as the United States
(U.S.) or America, is a federal republic composed of 50 states, a
federal district, five major self-governing territories, and various
possessions. Forty-eight of the fifty states and the federal district are
contiguous and located in North America between Canada and
Mexico.
The United States is a highly developed country, with the world's
largest economy by nominal GDP and second-largest economy by
PPP. Though its population is only 4.3% of the world total, Americans
hold nearly 40% of the total wealth in the world.
5. Language
English (American English) is the de facto national language.
Although there is no official language at the federal level, some
laws—such as U.S. naturalization requirements—standardize
English. In 2010, about 230 million, or 80% of the population aged
five years and older, spoke only English at home. Spanish, spoken
by 12% of the population at home, is the second most common
language and the most widely taught second language. Some
Americans advocate making English the country's official language,
as it is in 32 states.
6. Religion
Religion in the United States is characterized by a diversity of
religious beliefs and practices. Various religious faiths have
flourished within the United States. A majority of Americans report
that religion plays a very important role in their lives, a proportion
unique among developed countries.
The majority of U.S. adults self-identify as Christians, while close to
a quarter claim no religious affiliation.According to a 2014 study by
the Pew Research Center, 70.6% of the adult population identified
themselves as Christians, with 46.5% professing attendance at a
variety of churches that could be considered Protestant, and 20.8%
professing Roman Catholic beliefs.
7. Family Structure
As of 2007, 58% of Americans age 18 and over were married, 6%
were widowed, 10% were divorced, and 25% had never been
married. Women now work mostly outside the home and receive a
majority of bachelor's degrees.
The U.S. teenage pregnancy rate is 26.5 per 1,000 women. The rate
has declined by 57% since 1991. In 2013, the highest teenage birth
rate was in Alabama, and the lowest in Wyoming.
8. Government
The United States is the world's oldest surviving federation. It is a
representative democracy, "in which majority rule is tempered by
minority rights protected by law". The government is regulated by a
system of checks and balances defined by the U.S. Constitution,
which serves as the country's supreme legal document.
In the American federalist system, citizens are usually subject to
three levels of government: federal, state, and local. The local
government's duties are commonly split between county and
municipal governments. In almost all cases, executive and legislative
officials are elected by a plurality vote of citizens by district. There is
no proportional representation at the federal level, and it is rare at
lower levels.
9. Economy
The economy of the United States is the world's largest national
economy in nominal terms and second largest according to purchasing
power parity (PPP), representing 22% of nominal global GDP and 17%
of gross world product (GWP). The United States' GDP was estimated
to be $18.46 trillion in 2016.
The United States has a mixed economy and has maintained a stable
overall GDP growth rate, a moderate unemployment rate, and high
levels of research and capital investment. Its largest trading partners
are China, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Germany, South Korea, United
Kingdom, France, India and Taiwan.
10. Education
American public education is operated by state and local
governments, regulated by the United States Department of
Education through restrictions on federal grants. In most states,
children are required to attend school from the age of six or seven
until they turn some states allow students to leave school at 16 or
17.
The U.S. spends more on education per student than any nation in
the world, spending more than $11,000 per elementary student in
2010 and more than $12,000 per high school student.Some 80% of
U.S. college students attend public universities.
