II. Summary
A couple generations ago Arabs that live in Israel would not bother going to school. But even if they did they would most likely not graduate high school. People would drop out of school and migrate to some type of construction job or a job with labor. Now with Arabs remaining in school full time and even get collage masters and bachelor’s degrees it would seem that the Arabs would be moving up in the society. However this is not happening has Arabs who graduate with masters would often not find a job in the field. One suspicion is of Jewish bosses are only hiring some if any Arab employees. Some wealthier entrepreneurs tried to take it upon themselves to get jobs out to the unemployed public by establishing head hunting agencies. This worked out the first year but after the following year there would be less and less people hired.
III. Reaction
A) I think that this article relates to the AP theme: Systems of social structure and gender structure. With the unequal employment method by upper class wealthy Jews present, Arabs who have worked their way the school with above average grades are not able to move up in the social class to make an honest living.
B) For thousands of years the Jewish society had been prosecuted and ridiculed all the way back to Mesopotamia all because that they were the minority, up until present day with World War II and the million deaths of prosecuted Jews. So the UN gave the Jewish society their own plot of land after World War II, there the Jewish people feel secure. However now with the rising social classes of non-Jews there is unsteadiness in the air of being over dominated possible by the Arabs.
C) It is hard to determine the authors’ point of view in this article. However from what I can determine I would guess that the author is a male Arab or Jew from Israel as this is an Israeli new article. This therefore makes the author an insider.
D) Because the author is from Israel it would be hard to determine if the author is Jewish or Arab. However with follow analyze of the article I would conclude that the author would be Arab, simply because of some phases and words which the author chose to write with, some if which include, only giving the Arab unemployment percentage, using the word “only” in a few phrases, and also only interviewing an Arab.
E) The point of view I believe is missing from this article is from an unemployed Jewish perspective. It would help to see why he/she is unemployed to find out if it is really because of the Jewish bosses or just a high supply of unemployed ready to work workers and low demand job opening.
F) My reaction to this article is that it relates to the United States civil rights movement where black Americans were not being hired by white American bosses. This problem needs to be fixed because if someone works their whole life in school and then comes out of school with the top degree, but doesn’t get picked up with a job right away, something is messed up and wrong.
