The Bronx

Hip hop is a very popular type of music. The music was so vast that it has developed its own culture! It has developed a lot over the years. The story started on August 11, 1973 on 1520, Sedgwick Avenue. DJ Kool Herc, a building resident, was entertaining at his sister’s back- to- school party.

Lastly, even though lyrics follow the urban society’s view on their own situations, many contemplate that the content can be mislead, over exaggerate or inappropriately describe the nation and its people. As often as Americans preach the good word of fairness and equality, the American urbanites filling cities like Chicago, Atlanta and Watts were locked out of the sermon. During what historians call the Civil Rights Era (Timeline: Civil Rights Era 1954-1971), Americans would witness multiple…

logical side wanted me to go to Bronx Sci, because of the fact that it would be an easier, yet specialized high school. I went to Stuy, because my human intuition said that even-though there will be a high risk, there would be a high reward if I were to do well there.

Inequality Addressed in Literature The true inequalities in schools around America are described accurately in Jonathan Kozol’s novel, Savage Inequalities. The novel is essentially summed up to compare the inequalities that exist between poor inner-city schools and more affluent suburban schools. Kozol’s philosophy is that children who belong to poor families are predestined to a poor future due to the understaffed and underfunded schools that are in poorer areas of the country. In order to…

The distinction of male or female has no relevance to the operant conditioning he or she will endure; as a result, one can become part of a syndicate due to the pervasive environment.
