Hudson, Ohio has been home to me ever since I was six years old. Hudson is a suburb of Cleveland and located in the Summit County. Being a relatively small community, Hudson, became a city officially after the 1990 US census. Hudson is mostly composed of upper middle class Caucasians, and is known for being a safe community perfect for raising a family. Another thing that Hudson is known for is having exceptional school districts, and is ranked nationally. Through research and living in Hudson for most of my life, I believe Hudson was created alongside the modern world. Out of all the themes that we have learned about in our class, the one that effected Hudson the most was the industrial revolution. During the industrial revolution multiple

So the main aspect of the modern world that is controversial in Hudson is diversity and equality. In conclusion I grew up and spent most of my life in the city of Hudson, Ohio. This city was created alongside the creation of the modern world. The industrial revolution, capitalism, and nationalism directly affected the city and has made it what it is today. Although the city was a great place to grow up in there is still room for improvement. There is a lack of diversity in the town, and this should be changed to match more of what is going on in the modern world today. The city has changed a lot since it was first founded, and I expect it to continue to change in the
