Que Es Un Acuerdo? (What Is Compromise?)

Equality is a contentious issue in our society today. This is why it's important for students to be given information related to equality so they can come to reasonable conclusions of their own. Using age-appropriate language, this book discusses equality in a number of different forms and touches upon why equality is so important in a democracy. The text also explores how extreme equality, like most extremes, could be a bad and unrealistic idea. Readers will gain enough information to understand and think about this complex idea for themselves.

Important elementary subjects from the C3 Framework for Social Studies are discussed in detail throughout this informative book.

"Some things are so huge or so old that it's hard to wrap your mind around them.
