Evaluate the impact ethnicity have on an individual and society based on education and the implication it may have on wider society

Ethnicity is a multifaceted concept which has
broad applications in U.S. society. Among its associations are nationality, race, language, and
religion. In addition, subnational, supranational, and transnational identity all may be labeled
ethnic. Some groups are less likely than others to identify with their ethnic
identity.

The identity of subnational ethnic groups often changes as related
to national, supranational and racial identity. People in Nigeria may identify strongly with
their Hausa or Yoruba ethnic identity as well as consider themselves Nigerian. If they move to
the United States, they are likely to be grouped collectively as African. Permanent residents
and citizens will be African American, which is also equated with Black as a racial category.
They are also likely to experience racial discrimination.

Another
supranational category, which is strongly connected with language, is Latino (or Latinx). People
with heritage from dozens of Western Hemisphere countries are lumped into this category in the
United States, whether they arrived yesterday or their ancestors arrived in the fifteenth
century. While Latinos are primarily associated with Spanish language, Portuguese speakers,
often from Brazil, are also Latinos.

Currently educational achievement, such
as high school graduation, for people of African American and Latin heritage lags behind that of
Asian American and European American students. The reasons are widely
debated.
