The video “Drought Caused by Decreasing Water Supply in Texas,”focused on the recent drought and record temperatures in Texas. The community is having to cut back on their water supply due to the lack of it. In Texas, seventeen systems are predicted to run out of water in six months or less.

markets, free trade, the privatization of state owned companies, and loans from the IMF and the World Bank. Many of the policies that were implemented in Chile were set in place by the “Chicago Boys,” a group of Chilean students from the University of Chicago that were taught and influenced by Milton Friedman. The Chicago Boys went on to occupy high-ranking positions in the Chilean government, which made it easier and more effective to implement new economic…

dance, drama, and music can improve academically in all core content areas, especially in low income communities. “Low-income youth in after-school arts programs did better across a wide range of variables from school grades to leadership.” (Columbia College Chicago) pg 7. Some schools may have art integrated education, which I feel is not enough. Art should be part of an every day curriculum like any other core content areas. I would like to become…

Exercise #6: Segregation in Chicago The neighborhood I am focusing on for this assignment is Belmont Cragin, which is community number 19 and is 8 miles NW of the loop. Belmont Cragin in the 1922 became an industrialized area, where many plants started to open, which created many jobs. In the 1910 Belmont Cragin race composition was made up of white people.

By the time of WWII, Harlem was one of the first Black ghettos in America, and “the area could not have been riper for the sprouting of street gangs (Haskins, 1974, p.80). In the 1930’s, following the U.S Civil War, gangs were also growing rapidly in other cities such as Chicago. Many Blacks migrated to Chicago to escape the misery of Jim Crow laws and the sharecropper’s life in the Southern States (Miller, 2008). The origin of Chicago’s…

there has been a great amount of development with cities. With what started out as small pockets of communities now stands as enormous developments, shown through amazing technological advancements and the brilliant minds of urban planners, architects, engineers and more. An excellent example of a majorly developed city is Chicago, Illinois. Rent Café had published an article about the changes Chicago has gone through in a series of photos, illustrating in an excellent way the development the…

neighborhoods of metropolitan areas such as New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and various cities in Texas including Houston and Austin. Building on this history, the contemporary story entails the arrival of immigrants to established immigrant gateways with well-defined service infrastructures and a receptivity that aids the integration process.

was where cities were turning empty rundown lots and United Spaces in cities into green spaces, small parks and small gardens. I think this idea is marvelous. It takes an abandon lot in a small park or a community gardens. Everyone in that community would benefit from this idea. People in the area can take advantage of the garden, they would have food that is health for them, and they would take pride in it because they are the ones taking cares of it. Most people take more pride in something…
