Before reading 1984, my opinion on number seven “Society would be safer if we had security cameras in public places to catch potential criminals.” Was no. After reading the book, my opinion was persuaded to think otherwise. We still need cameras in public places such as malls, stores, outside in the streets, lights and parking lots, but we do not need them in private places like homes and restrooms. In the book 1984, the telescreens where everywhere, just one unusual movement that you made could have gotten you arrested.…
Shimmering lights lit up the crowded streets of New York City like the stars of the night sky; they made up for the fact that you couldn’t see the real ones. My feet felt like concrete blocks attached to my legs as I walked, I guess you could call it, through numerous groups of locals and tourists, all I’m sure who could tell easily that I had quite an edge. They didn’t know why, and frankly neither did I. All I knew was that I wanted to be by her side. I had first encountered Mabel one random night when I stumbled upon the 42 Club after leaving work, grimy and dirty from fixing up snobby, rich guys' cars all day and hating my life.…
I enjoyed the lower Manhattan fruit vendor in the story “ The Banana Man Of Lower Manhattan” By Corey Kilgannon which is an embodiment of prolific understanding of the writer’s knowledge of creative character analysis as expected in a character sturdy, a good literary work, espousing the essence of true short story . The character, Abdulhamed Kharma a syrian immigrant of 28 years is my favorite, his enthusiasm, charm, charisma, above all in a short period he was able to create a cutting edge slogan – niche for himself “ The Banana Man” cutting across all strata of clientele from “well-dressed office workers, dusty construction workers and wide-eyed tourists” catching even the attention of New York Times, online video which catapulted his…
The man in the alley went unnoticed. Or perhaps he was unremarked upon, ignored. A long, tattered overcoat splattered with various fluids hid the majority of his body, though matted black hair that would have been smooth and glossy had he washed remained visible. His head was bowed, burrowed into his folded arms where he sat curled against the alley wall. It was almost as if he slept.…
The time was upon us. It was a quarter to nine o’clock, and we were about to miss our favorite band. I felt the butterflies as they grew in my stomach.

In October of 2014 Ross Bliss Creative (10 Hours of Walking in NYC as a Woman, 2014), in cooperation with the anti-catcalling organization Hollaback (Hollaback, 2014), released a video depicting catcalling in New York City which quickly went viral on the internet. In this 2 minute video a Caucasian actress was shown walking down several streets in the city receiving an incredible amount of harassment. If taken at face value this video gives the impression that women in New York are constantly under siege, barraged on all sides with behaviors ranging from a simple “Hey girl!” to men pacing them for minutes in a threatening manner. Several complaints have been made about this film, and it is important to explore the phenomenon of street harassment in a formal manner to assess its true extent.…

It can be money, honor, family, friends or anything important you got from the whole life. But in reality, not many people spend their later years like that. Sometimes it is even impossible to have a rest, still remaining at city's busy life.…
For this exercise, I stayed in the MD. Anderson Library in the UH main campus at 11:30. I sat down at the last computer, which is nearest the none-computer area and the windows. First, I had not decided to do this observation at that time, but a yelling voice of an African American guy made me feel curious. That led me open the Microsoft Word screen on computer and begin making my public space observation, an assignment in Sociology 1300 course.…

Life there was upbeat and fast-paced and everyone and everything was moving, but then you crossed into Central Park. Crossing the sidewalk into the large park was like crossing the border into another world.…
