Abstract

The distribution of resources in the US for minority students and African-American students has been substantially unequal and separate. Many people do not know that the education system of the US is one of the most unfair in the world. Many students in the US face challenges in choosing a major because of the uneven distribution of resources in the different regions of the US. This research paper carries out research on the impacts of the uneven distribution of resources in the US on students choosing a major. The impacts include lack of motivation for the students, high levels of poverty of the student’s families, and lack of learning resources. These impacts result from the uneven allocation of learning resources to some areas in the US making the schools in such areas have insufficient learning resources. These in turn affect the performance of the students negatively and in the end, such students face a lot of challenges when choosing majors.
