Answer:
this is only a theory and can't actually be considered fact because in America you can start at any point in life and get to where you want to go never been many poor people who have gone insanely rich by getting intelligent doing school properly your race has nothing to do with anything anymore socioeconomic status can be changed through good work and ethnicity doesn't matter anymore because we're all Americans.
Step-by-step explanation:
definition: “Opportunity gap” refers to the fact that the arbitrary circumstances in which people are born—such as their race, ethnicity, ZIP code, and socioeconomic status—determine their opportunities in life, rather than all people having the chance to achieve to the best of their potential.
3 causes: race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status.
how can the gap be closed: It can't because there will always be a divide and race ethnicity and socioeconomic status unless we become a Utopia where everyone is the same but that's highly unlikely.
The bottom one you have to answer for yourself because that's a personal question. I can't answer that for you.
