[ORDER SOLUTION] The Decline in American Literacy
The Decline in American LiteracyAccording to Cohen, Brawer & Kisker (2014, p-237), the available evidence suggests that the academic achievement of students in school and colleges registered a gradual improvement between 1900 and the mid-1950’s, an accelerated improvement between the mid-1950’s and the mid-1960’s, and a precipitous, widespread decline between then and the late 1970’s, before stabilizing in the early 1980’s.”No one can say with assurance which social or educational condition was primarily responsible for the decline in student abilities that apparently began in the mid-1960’s and accelerated throughout the 1970’s before leveling off.” (Cohen, Brawer, Kisker, 2014, p-238).Following the narrative, above, the authors suggest at least six (6) causal events, with an additional seventh current causal factor.REQUIRED:CAUSAL EVENTS1.
