“A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives”, once said Jackie Robinson a famous baseball player. An impact is having a strong effect on someone or something. In certain pieces of literature characters are impacted and affected by the urban setting. Having an urban setting affects the characters or people in the lyrics of “New York, New York” and “Chicago” by Frank Sinatra, the short story “Thank you Ma'am” by Langston Hughes, and the Novel Seedfolks written by Paul…

In 2009, there is an estimated population of 145 million rural-urban migrants in China, which represents 11% of the total population in China (Hu, 2012). Nearly 80% of the total migrants in China are located in the provinces of Guangdong, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangsu and the cities of Beijing and Shanghai (Tuñón, 2006). Migration into urban areas has created overcrowding, increased competition for resources and congestion in transportations. The rural areas deserted by the migrants faced new…

If I had the opportunity to go shopping with an unlimited amount of money to spend, I would want to go to Minnesota. In Minnesota they have the Mall of America, but they also have other malls that I could shop at. I would want to travel with my mom and my sister in law, Kelsey. Even though I would have unlimited money, that is not what this trip should be all about. I should focus on the good times that I have with my family. The first place in the Mall of America that I would approach would be…

They are many social issues that people face as the city slums grows in size such as over crowed population, lack of housing, polluted water, lack of electricity and food. Although the wealthy are affected by the over crowed population and…

Bringing the Expos back to Montreal is not too far from reality. A project called the Montreal Baseball Project started by Warren Cromartie, a former player for the Expos between 1974 to 1983, is already in place to bring the Expos back to the Metropolitan Area. Located in the Northeast region of North America, it would make sense for the Expos to become the 16th team in the American League and compete in the American League East division. The team…

The bulk of the research for MyndMove was conducted locally, at the Toronto Rehab Institute, owned by the University Health Network. There, the inventor, also a professor, had all the supplies he needed, and an endless supply of interns if he needed it. If an individual wanted to be involved in this field, and a part of future advancements to FES, University of Toronto would be ideal, but the McMaster University would also be a good option. Both of these schools offer…

1. Averee has not had the smoothies that often, but claimed that she liked them because the fruit was fresh. The fruit may be fresh, but I feel that she also likes the smoothies because her boyfriend enjoys them so much. She is reminded of him while she has one. The fresh fruit also gives her extra energy to start her day. She has liked them so much that she even makes them at her home. She does not get all of the fruits that the cafeteria has, but can still make a great smoothie. Before going…

We have included this question to determine more accurately just how many times individuals visit the Eaton Centre on a weekly basis. For example, if individuals visit the Eaton Centre more than 3 times per week, then we know that they might have more disposable income, or it shows us that there is a higher frequency of potential customers in our vicinity. This question gives us insightful information when combined with our other questions, as it can allow us to target customers based on the…

The National Hockey League (NHL) was founded in 1917. This league consisted of six teams, called the original six.
