Why Is Highland Bad

Decent Essays
Highland Park
Spoiled, nice, vibrant, and Rich
They say that Highland Park has more spoiled kids than any other town, I do not disagree. They say that we have a small drug problem, that I cannot deny. They say we are all democratic, people here have different views on things. Although most of the bad things said are true, we still have good traits, although they are ignored. Michael Jordan used to live here before he retired, this was big for our town making us a bigger part of history. Highland Park has a very small crime problem whereas if there is a small crime committed but still punishable for it will be all over the news.
Even though Highland Park is a town of rich people and spoiled kids, we still have good things such as Michael Jordan

    A Rhetorical Analysis on “Suburb or Nothing” in the Memphis Flyer What should the relationship be between the suburbs and the city? The very small editorial in the Memphis Flyer gives somewhat efficient details on the term “Suburb of Nothing” originated and quoted by Mayor Mick Cornett. The writer of the article in the Commercial Appeal’s, “Suburb of Nothing”, effectively argues his/her point via the use of organization, formal tone and appeals to authority. Doing so, the writer gives history, use of words like “Summons” (in quotation in his/her own words) to illustrate a dire need of attention, and uses statistics and citations when appealing to authority such as a political magazine.…

The only information about him comes from the people of Laramie, reminiscent of Citizen Kane. The director made this choice to make viewers form their own opinions on Shepard by giving conflicting opinions of him and make the film more focused on the town of Laramie rather than solely on Shepard. Throughout the film Shepard is never shown in any way.…

    I wasn’t sure what I expected when going to my community service for the first time. The place that I choose, the Lincoln Park Community Shelter, resided nearby the Lincoln Park, DePaul campus, so I just thought it would be an easy travel to and from the train station. Walking to the site, it was something that I’m not easily used to at home. Around there, there were clean and beautiful scenery all around. Every block I would walk pass a jogger or a person walking their dog in the peaceful environment.…

    Urban police and Rural polices are two types of police officers that share the main goal, to protect and serve. Despite being police officers, both jobs encounter different types of crimes, furthermore, one job may consist of more work and activities than the other. As stated by the author Ronald G. Burns in his book Policing, “Statewide jurisdiction enables state law enforcement agencies to oversee a wider geographical area than local-level law enforcement agencies” (Burns, 51). In other words, one may have more things to complete than the other due to how large the community is.…

    Many things influence the public opinion of law enforcement including; job approval, officer demeanor, media, and the public 's contact with officers. The approval of the community is what gives officers their right to protect and serve them. Although some officers may not be upright and honorable people, many are forthright and honorable. When the media portrays officers of the law in any way, people in any community will assume that is what the law enforcement in their community is like even if the media took footage out of context and skewed the view. In today 's society everyone hates the police when they 're in trouble but they scrutinize officers when they are in need and the officer is not there at a moment 's notice…

    The Homewood Trilogy by John Edgar Wideman questions the effects of his first true influences, the Academy and the Street. “My university training had both thwarted and prepared this understanding, and the tension of multiple traditions, European and Afro-American, the Academy and the Street, animates these texts,” Wideman acknowledges. The essence of Wideman’s argument is that the life he lived at the academy and in the street influenced him to become the person he is today. I agree with author John Edgar Wideman about the positive and negative results of his first true influences. My mother has influenced my morals, the way I treat other people, and how I allow other people to treat me.…

    CCJ 6638: Communities & Crime Mariel Snouffer Topic 2: The Origins and Legacies of the Urban Crisis Contrary to the belief that anyone that works hard enough will be rewarded, “real life” is not necessarily the “American Dream” that everyone thinks. Neighborhoods do indeed matter for individual outcomes both independently and beyond individual characteristics. There are many long term impacts on the intergenerational transmission of poverty and wealth; and most certainly crossing racial and ethnic lines. The “American Dream” is the idea that is the primary story of American Immigration; the proposal that steered much of the thrust for civil rights. It is also a suggestion that has been undeviating with the American’s perception of impartial and just treatment, as long as there is a universal option for advancement.…
