Districts of Zambia

“This isn’t actually happening? How could this be? What? Why?” These questions kept running around in my head as I stay up through the gloomy, cold nights. I desperately tried to disregard the darkness of the situation. It was problematic for me to focus on keeping warm in this blank, emotionless room when this situation, of roughly three months ago, had kept recapping in my mind – the intense pain shared between friends and family, endless tears, and the cramping of my hands from trying to look…

Born Into Brothels Reflection This documentary about the red light district really opened my eyes, and helped me learn about the hardships some kids were facing in parts of our world that I knew very little about. I noticed three main things about the lifestyle and personalities of the children. First, they had nothing: no love, no care, and no one to support them. Even so, they seemed full of joy, never complained, and persisted on with life. After meeting Zana, their lives had changed so…

towards three factors. The first factor is the proximity to central business districts in areas well served by public transportation (Allied REIT). The second factor is the distinctive internal and external environments that assist tenants in attracting, retaining, and motivating employees (Allied REIT). The third factor is the significantly lower overall occupancy costs than those that prevail in the central business districts (Allied REIT). Interestingly, these three factors are reflected with…

within the city. Julie Turkewitz, a reporter who specializes in Latin American studies investigates a proposed Business Improvement District in the incredibly diverse neighborhood of Jackson Heights, Queens. Through her article "In Queens, Balking at Change, Even if It 's Called Improvement" Turkewitz finds an ethnic enclave that fears a loss of culture if the Business District…

No text is neutral. The documentary, Born into Brothels, shows the harsh conditions of Calcutta’s red light district. By using fast paced scenes and chaotic music, the film places the audience to understand exactly what the area is like. The purpose of the documentary is not to shed a negative light on the situation but show that there is a way to help the children who do not want to be subjugated to the will of their parents. As these children have grown up in such a hostile environment they…

In 1836, Bridgeport was born with the construction of the Illinois and Michigan Canal. This alone “guaranteed Bridgeport's position as an industrial center,” as it encouraged the creation of lumberyards, manufacturing plants, and packing houses (Bridgeport, Encyclopedia of Chicago, 1). Due to the steady access to employment during this time, many immigrants began to settle and search for work in the neighborhood. This translated into a growing foreign ‘white’ population, as it “stood as a…

My Hood Rotting old palm trees, half mowed lawns, midnight parties and neighbourly brawls. From the suspicious late night whispers to the consistent ringing of sirens- it’s not a surprise the familiar blue and red lights repeatedly illuminate our street at early hours of the morning. But behind all that jazz, lies the protection and care for the familiar faces within and outside their broken down gates. To all outsiders, welcome to Courtenay Crescent- the only place I consider ‘my hood’.…

When a city and its metropolitan areas are designed and settled, the purposes for which an area is used are taken into consideration. This subject is examined by Sociologist Ernest Burgess in "The Growth of the City," in which he examines Chicago and vicinity. In addition, Bruce Epperson (2007), the author of “Eminence Domain: Reassessing the Life and Public Works of Robert Moses” examines the way in which Robert Moses geared his projects for New York City and the surrounding area (p.1). However…

Using theatre to help the homeless Homelessness is a huge problem in the United Kingdom, homelessness doesn 't just involve people sleeping on the streets it also encompasses families living in temporary accommodation or in substandard housing. My idea is to devise a piece of theatre using workshops with some people who have gone through or are going through homelessness, once a piece has been devised then a short tour will take the production around schools and areas with higher than normal…

Just look at Europe as an example, they have what is known as a red light district where it is legal to advertise for sex in windows. A whole street is dedicated for prostitutes legally if you are of age. More sex trafficking is done in other countries. I am not sure if gambling and violence is more acceptable there but I know…
