Society/pg.145- people who share a culture and society. In the video you can see what type of society the dharvi slum residents have compared to the people in the surrounding city. Even though crime may run amok you can see that the families of this society have tight knit bond with each other. They also may not all do the same jobs but many share the same ambition to hustle and provide for their families. I feel that their ambition and pride in their work is why they have a hatred for the name…

Although having gone through monumental shifts in style and culture the basis and content of the genre has remained constant. Since groups like NWA and De La Soul used their music as a way to express cultural divides and relations among inner city communities and law enforcement, much has changed in terms of outlook and optimism. While songs like Public Enemy’s “fight the power” called for a rise in black nationalism and sweeping social change across a nation. Songs Compared to songs like…

How Communities’ Identities Change Over Time What is the generalized other? Well it is the set of beliefs, roles, and norms followed by different cultures and this generalized other changes continuously in many cities around America and the world.

There are many topics in criminal justice that I could write great research papers on but the topic that interests me the most is youth gang members. I want to know do children who live in the inner city have a higher chance of joining a gang then children who live in suburban towns. I have a high interest in our youth because they are the future. As our generation continues to grow old we need younger, brighter, and more intelligent members of our community to stand up for what's right. The…

Despite the progress made in policy over time to implement desegregation, there are many institutions that remain separate among Blacks and Whites. The most daunting separation that occurs between the races is in the living space. Residential racial segregation is an anomaly, as all of the legal efforts to live together in harmony are thwarted by this major gap in integrated neighborhoods. Many factors are suspected to contribute to this continued trend. It is theorized that it is the choice of…

public housing system. While changes are being made to improve public housing and root out problems such as racism, and corruption within the housing authority, overwhelmingly the history of what was supposed to be a revolutionary way of living for urban poor, has been a failure. Due to the decline of the city at the time public housing arose, racism, and the failure of the federal…

Urban Renewal started with the Housing Act of 1949. This program had some goals in mind which all sounded too good to be true. The goals were to eliminate substandard housing, revitalize city economies, construct better housing, and to reduce racial segregation. The way these goals were carried out were trough tearing down areas and then rebuilding them. Federal funds and eminent domain were used to keep this program going. After these areas were cleared then they became available to developers…

urbanism (Smith 2002) produces spatial inequality, displacement, homelessness and racial containment in an urban area. Certain urban spaces become more attractive to investment and to the job seekers, others lose their economic base, and population.
