gangs in New Jersey are on a rise in urban areas since the early 1990’s, mainly consisting of the Bloods and Crips. So many people are dying from the senseless killings of innocent adults and young children. Trying to understand the mindset of young African American males and females joining street gangs and committing horrible crimes such as murder, drug dealing and other criminal activities. “African-American gangs began to emerge in the Los Angeles area during the 1920's, which was in…

For instance, when I was with PULSE, I was assigned to a non-profit organization called Center for Family Services created to assist underserved Camden residents and help them and their children receive proper medical, social and educational support. This experience was wonderful because I was able to observe how many people go through the hardships of daily lives that were so severe that they did…

family. “and the clerk, with long ends of his white comforter dangling below his waist (for he boasted no great coat), went down a slide on Cornhill, at the end of a lane of boys, twenty times, in honor of its being Christmas Eve, and then ran home to Camden Town, as hard as he could pelt, to play at blind man’s bluff” (12-13). When Scrooge returns home he sees the ghost of Marley in his door, but he doesn’t believe in ghosts. He then goes inside, where light is almost nonexistent and it is only…

coach, James Cruz, took a picture of their messages and sent it to the whole team. The messages were about how he didn’t get the boys’ coaching position and why he should continue. Coach Slaton found out about it, but he thinks it was Caleb White or Camden Jones that did it. It made me made that she did that and now won’t admit it.…

dangerous cities of Camden. Within the distance of a few miles, there are mansions and run-down poverty-stricken neighborhoods, and the lives of those that live in them are really almost worlds apart. Why is that, when they live so near to each other? One argument could be made that the people of the two communities have nothing in common. Another argument could be made that the people of Haddonfield should be doing more to reach out and lend a helping hand to those in need in Camden, and…

The three areas of poverty are urban, suburban, and rural. Urban poverty is mainly city or inner city poverty. Some places with urban poverty would include, Camden, New Jersey or Patterson, New Jersey. Rural poverty is more out West where theres more farming. Finally, suburban poverty is poverty that is in more suburban areas like Caldwell, New Jersey. In each area, there are challenges. For example, in urban areas, there is more concentrated violence. Many urban areas have gang related issues…

The American Revolution officially began in 1775 and lasted until 1783, spanning the course of eight years. However, what sparked this Revolution was the aftermath of the French and Indian War, which ended in 1763. King George III spent a substantial amount of money to supply and defend the colonists. After the end of the war, it only seemed reasonable to have the colonists pay for the debt, so taxes were administered without their consent. This, of course, angered the colonists, who were not…

I was interested in finding out about the outcome of this, because my two cooperating teachers have very different opinions. Mrs. M says that she has plenty of support from administration; she has this viewpoint because she came from teaching in a Camden district, where no resources were provided to her and she spent lots of money to buy supplies for her students. On the other hand, my other cooperating teacher, Mrs. B has been teaching at Highland the longest out of all the teachers in the…

I grew up in a Caucasian neighborhood, I always knew my neighborhood would get more benefits than the neighborhoods my cousins grew up in (Newark, Camden,etc.). Certain neighbors (majority Caucasian) just have more respect or are treated better than African American or Hispanic neighbors. We see this every day either on the news or when we are driving or walking down the street. People of color are not treated the same which is a sad thing to say but it's true. As human beings created by God,…

October 4, 1777 (174). The failure at these battles was due not only to the militia retreating, but also to bad luck and confusion. Washington’s plan at Germantown was sound, but complicated for an army containing so many militias. During the battle at Camden, SC, later in the war, members of the militia threw away their arms and ran. As the war raged on, Washington did not comprehend how important the militia would be to the success of the American…
