Beverly Hills High School

Saturday. The bus I used was the 30/330 that goes from Sunset Boulevard into East Los Angeles. This was mostly what seemed to be residential areas and the main streets of Los Angeles. While riding the bus I saw the difference within the people through the surrounding buildings. The visible wealth disparity between the residents of Los Angeles is very stark and can be seen within neighborhoods. Starting at Sunset, near the Greystone Mansion, the buildings are well kept and show a variety of architectural styles. The styles often reflect older styles or modern styles, with little in-between and a distancing from the industrial, mass produced style. The buildings are often painted in light colors, but these colors would easily be dirtied by the high levels of smog in Los Angeles. That would call for the buildings to be kept up on a regular basis, meaning that the owners would have to be wealthy enough to afford the regular upkeep. Sunset Boulevard held many houses as pictured above that were very well kept along with the yards and grass areas around them. The buildings held a certain amount of splendor, based on the distinctive architectural styles, consequently this gave the area the feeling that it was well-to-do. That feeling that the area was higher class was reinforced when compared to residential areas farther into the city. Around Sunset Boulevard I did not see graffiti and the layout was very orderly. The houses were on smaller lots, but the environment around them,…

The Simple Life at Virtue Hill One of the most beautiful places to visit is the Virtue Hill in Vietnam. I grew up there, and I return year after year to seek the solitude. Virtue Hill is the name of a boarding school and means “God Place.” One of the most picturesque sites is looking up the hill from the village road. The view is spectacular with the school at the top, and the green, fertile farmland below. When I was a fourth grader, my father as a soldier was often deployed far away from home.…

hid the people 's faces, but we shouted "Good day! Good day! Fine day!" at the top of our voices. When we came to Hustler Hill, he said that the mare was tired, so we all got down and walked, as our good manners required. The Boomers had raised Elizabeth to have an open young mind and when she became of school age, allowed for her to attend a small one room school that housed all twelve grades (Millier 15). Even with attending school, Elizabeth had once stated that her desire to compose works…

Secondly, the median family income is biggest difference between both cities. Income goes back to education and they really tie into each other. It is statistically proven that a higher education create a larger income. Also these two places require different things from the people. In Philadelphia, the Beverly Hills income would be too much. If one obtain made that much income in Philadelphia than they relocate. The social forces of these incomes starts with the most important of “family.” In…

Before the seminar, I was strongly convinced that unequal schooling was the main cause of poverty in the United States. I believe that minorities, which mainly consists of blacks and hispanics, are not given the same opportunities as wealthy students. Based on the article, “Still separate, Still unequal,” a study showed that students coming from an impoverished background had little to no control in what they wanted to study. Students that attended Beverly Hills High School, as a rich school,…

Los Angeles, I woke up as the birds chirped and the sun shined straight into my face in the suburbs of Palos Verdes, California. Waking up in a house on top of an actual hill instead of an apartment on the 27th floor of a manmade building I used to live in, in Seoul, South Korea. Moving back to America after my freshman year of high school was a complete switch for me in environment both culturally and socially. It made me notice the many differences between American and Korean cultures as well…
