Invisible Poverty

The central idea of Cohen's article is the debate within researchers and policymakers about the relationship between poverty and culture. Several different views about the roots of poverty are presented in the article. The idea with more weight, supported by several types of research, is that poverty is a consequence of culture. Poor people are not poor because they are lazy but because they are victims of the culture (4). Within the culture, community values and morality or ethics play a significant role. According to what people within a community interpret, or accept as their cultural norms and value, ...

Littering: The Urban Menace

The word “litter” is commonly heard in connection with animals which produce many offspring in one go. It thus suggests something of a numerical excess seen in relation to the norm, here the human pattern. In the pejorative sense it conveys an inconvenient recurrence. In the special context of habitable environments it clearly implies inconvenient excesses that destroy the rhythm and balance of otherwise placid surroundings. By deduction it refers to redundant objects and material that disturbs the calm spell of community life. Thus we may locate littering in the environmental perspective.

Bronfenbrenner’s Theory of Ecological Systems analyzes the development of a child within the larger framework of relationships that define the surrounding environment in general. In this regard, Bronfenbrenner classifies the environment into a set of distinct, carefully defined and complex layers, with each having a particular effect on the development of the child. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the biology of the child is a key factor behind his or her growth and development. The factors at play in the process include the family, both nuclear and extended, which defines the community in which the child ...

The performance of students is influenced not only by intellectual capability but by socio-economic factors as well. These factors include the kind of neighbourhood or community they are living with. The neighbourhood can be classified based on the income group classification of the families living in a particular neighbourhood. Families under the same income group tend to live in similar neighbourhoods. Thus, a neighbourhood can be majorly comprised of low-income earning families or otherwise. Considering the income classification of the families living in a particular neighbourhood is important because it is a major characterization of the neighbourhood as a ...

Introduction

Community development can be a complex issue, and understanding the needs and the difficulties of different communities is fundamental to community success. There are many different schools of thought, and each suggests something different: some suggest that gentrification is the answer for difficult neighborhoods, while others suggest that social programs can bring about the appropriate change. However, what many different thinkers agree is that the children are the foundational basis for changing a community as a whole; there is potential in the children of a community, regardless of how difficult or poor the conditions are (Foster-Fishman et al., 2001). ...

Pablo Escobar is, arguably, the most controversial villain of all time. Central to Colombian drug dealing history is a man born and raised in a humble background who rose to become the greatest drug baron in the country, the name of Pablo Escobar. Pablo was able to rise above the poverty he grew up in to become the commander of the Medellin drug cartel, the 7 richest man in the whole world and controller of 80 percent of the world’s cocaine market. He managed to get all he ever wanted, albeit through unconventional and highly criminal ways. So ...

Symbolic interactionism is in essence a sociological approach and more critically one considered highly in social psychology. It focuses on the assemblage, negotiations and variations of connotations via social interactions. Symbolic interaction is defined according to Prus (10) as the studying of means with which individuals attempt to comprehend life situations and by extension, how such individuals opt to perform personal activities in concurrence with other individuals in society. Also referred to as interactionism, symbolic interactionism is a core theoretical perspective studied in sociology and relates to the subjective comprehension of the social process, human behaviour and rationality or ...

Each year, parents and students alike often worry about the extremely high costs attached to funding a high-quality education from top-notch and respected colleges and universities. From tuition fees to miscellaneous fees, budgeting is crucial to save money, and secure student future. A part of the miscellaneous fee is the living expenses of a college student, who can be given the choice of staying in campus or commuting at home. Some students opt to stay in the campus residences because they believe that it is much cheaper than commuting back home. For international students, this has been their only option to ...

Theories concerned with how and why individuals become criminals have been circulating since the late nineteenth century and range from physiological reasons to issues concerned with the community and social problems. One such discussion point for the former is the impact of problems in the family environment as being the cause of offender behaviour in childhood, adolescence and beyond into adulthood. In practice, it becomes clear that these problems are a significant cause of delinquency and criminality, and whilst they may not be held entirely to account for the behaviour of the individual, their impact certainly doesn’t help the ...

Introduction and Background

There has been a lot of evidence that working on health benefit and environmentally friendly projects may have both healthy and economic advantages. In itself, such projects have a positive influence on physical and emotional well-being and health of individual’s. However, essentially the possibility is to have an impact on single representative health which entirely relies on the attributes of the environments that may be universities, industries or other areas. This impact is applied through a few distinct ways amongst individual’s/students: 1. The nature of the exertion as far as demand and control is concerned. 2. The impact ...

The housing market in Salt Lake City has definitely been impacted in a big way by the recession which started in 2008. Almost every facet of the economy has been affected. For example, new migration has been observed to fall significantly since this recession. The local labor market has been observed to record fewer investors while unemployment in itself is still below the 3% national average, and poor growth in the job sector is a real pacesetter for relocation. There is weakness in the demand for housing due to lack of support in migration. Utah is ranked sixth in the ...

It usually begins when a person has problems speaking and remembering things and eventually the patients becomes very helpless and dies (Jon et al., 2013). According to its history, in 1906 the first person to talk about this disease was Alois Alzheimer. Following his discovery, the disease was later named after him ( ...

Soledad is often painted as a novel that was written in the vein of the great magical realist writers: Angie Cruz is thrown in with Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Lara Esquivel. While these are prestigious names to be connected with, this description of Soledad as a work of pure magical realism weakens the underlying themes of the book rather than strengthening them: Soledad is the picture of a life-- of a way of life-- in New York City. The titular character, Soledad, wrestles with her feelings of love for her home and the people who fill it and the conflicting desire to escape ...

Part 1: The Greenwood Riots

Considered one of the wealthiest African American community in the early twentieth century, Greenwood is a region in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

These riots were connoted as Tulsa Race Riot, which posed shocking impacts on the flourishing Greenwood community. The riots are considered one of the most devastating holocausts in the history of United States race associations (Rucker & James 24). Close to five years after these riots, Greenwood populations who survived the massacre stayed in Tulsa and tried their ...

Finally, there are opinions with regard to the future for community policing.

Community Policing: A Definition

Activism is characterized as "a principle or practice that stresses immediate, enthusiastic movement particularly in backing of or resistance to one side of a questionable issue." This definition could be termed antiquated in the social networking time of activism. A like, take after, or impart without a doubt cannot be esteemed an "immediate vivacious activity," yet one can at present stand firm on their side of a disputable issue with like, take after, or offer. Activism was not kidding, and activists were eager to take a dubious stand, regardless of the fact that it places them in risk. While activism has flourished without ...

People go through life trying to overcome various obstacles on their way to what they perceive as an aim or a better life. The path of each individual is unique and is characterised by transformation of each person in a different way. The path an individual has gone through also tells a lot about personality development and rationale for certain decisions. The aim of this essay is to examine my personality from three different psychological theories in order to explain certain features of my personality. In this context attention is paid to approaches of Freud's psychoanalysis, Alport's trait theory and Skinner's behaviourism. ...

“The ultimate power is our mental power, our consciousness, our awareness.” (Na’im 2008) The preceding quote is from the book Breaking the Chains of Psychological Slavery written by Dr. Na’im Akbar a professor and psychologist. He is referring to the three pathways he believes African Americans can use to strengthen their power in America. The reason African Americans need to reach their ‘ultimate power’ is to fight the psychological wounds that slavery has left on black-skinned Americans whose ancestors were kidnapped from Africa and forced into slavery on American Southern plantations. The main challenge of reaching a goal of ‘ ...

“There is a general consensus that ‘community’ is good” (Barke and MacFarlane 1). While this argument may seem simple, the context behind the statement is deceptively complex. Community, in the hands of varied leaders and planners has distinctly different meanings (1). The single element that combines each of these interpretations is the positive perception of community being the opposite of individualism. Social, religious and construction groups employ an entirely different interpretation of the meaning of community, indicating that there is much more to be considered than a simple boundary drawn on a map. Communities as a term began as a recognition that groups ...

- Introduction For the layperson, architecture is mostly the process and design, planning and construction of buildings and physical structures. But many fail to understand that architecture is perceived as a work of art from where early stages of design are initiated. It can be equally expressed as a visual and physical psyche of an architect’s vision and way of thinking similar to art. Yet, art and architecture can be conceptually interchangeable where these talented artists do not perceive themselves as talents. The following subgenres of art, including elements of architecture, shall be explained, as well as described, to ...

The physical design features in crime prevention have been put across to reduce the occurrence of crime. To understand criminal psychology, one has to think like a criminal. A perfect situation for a potential offender to carry out crimes has to have some if not all of the dimensions of crime in place. This means acquiring a target, little or no risk, little or no effort and having the reward in sight. Most of the time a criminal may not be certain of the reward expected. For instance in a mugging situation, the victim may not have anything valuable on himself/ herself at that ...

Jay McLeod’s book demonstrates that racism is an issue which dominates proceedings in more ways than one. The issue of social mobility is discussed extensively in the book as it shows that class consciousness is still very much rife and intrinsic amongst us. McLeod comes up with all the sociological concepts which are part and parcel of our thinking and these include class structure, poverty, the dehumanization of work, etc. “I ain’t going to college, who wants to go to college? I’d end up getting a shitty job anyway” (p. 3) This is what an ...

Introduction

It is a calm and seductive night. One is walking on a busy sidewalk in a suburban city. There is really not a single eye catching thing as one walks endlessly along the empty and dull driveways of the neighbourhood houses. Suddenly, a lustrous light spectacle that seems to be emanating from a distance comes into play. As one slowly advance towards this spectacle, you can’t help but wonder what it could be. As the eye begins to gain more focus, the figure depicted in the light spectacle starts taking shape. It is a brand new Honda Accord EX V-6 that is parked in one ...

The aim of this paper is to compare and contrast two beautifully rendered pieces of literature; The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros and ‘And the earth did not devour him by Tomas Rivera. Both the novels will be discussed in juxtaposition to each other to aid the process of drawing out similarities and highlighting points of comparison. To commence, it must be noted that both the authors are chicane identity wise and hence much of their work is set in the same background. Both the authors are successful in launching their plots’ owing to their knowledge of ...

Abstract

Juvenile Delinquency is considered as a growing a trend in criminology. More young adults aged between 18-24 are being arrested for various crimes from theft and burglary to drug trafficking, rape and murder. Several theories and programs have been published for preventing and understanding the causes of this behaviour. Most of the studies and theories on crime and causes of delinquent behaviour is associated with the family, background, surroundings and early life experiences of a person. Some more focused theories advocate that the delinquent or criminal behaviour is also provoked by racial or ethnic biasness, education imbalance or cultural factors. ...

Keynesian theory argues that, in short term, total output is determined by total spending, which mostly consists of investment and consumption, this is the reality for any economy in the world but it doesn’t hold all the time as its subject to alterations caused by microeconomic factors particularly inflation which brings about increased interests rates raising the cost of production and unemployment as firms layoff some workers in order to reduce their cost of production.

It explains the systematic assessment of zoning, rezoning, sub-division to implement proper land use and prevent conflicts between various land uses. The first part of this assessment focuses on the history of land use and how it uniquely attracted prospective buyers to become part of the community and eventually grow while maintaining its integrity. Additionally the history acted as a springboard for the future of land use growth ...

My first steps would be to observe the socioeconomic status (SES) of the community in order to judge what is realistically possible. The observations would include the types of resources available, whether both men and women might join, the ethnicity of the neighbourhood and the culture (Barkway & Kenney 397). The second thing I could do is to be a role model so others could see that I am serious about my health. I could start jogging around the neighbourhood to see if there is any interest and to model healthy behaviour. Jogging is a type of exercise that requires no sports ...

The book revolves around two young men both with the same name Wes and who happen to share the same challenges of growing up in a poor neighbourhood, the people they interact during their growing stage and how those people shaped their lives in contributing on the decisions that they made that changed their fate.The book is divided into eight chapters, each chapter discussing the development stages and the changes that the two Wes encounter in life as they grew up.

“Sea Oak” is a thoughtful and unusual short story. The author creates a compelling setting as the neighbourhood in which his characters live. Through both place and characterisation, Saunders creates both an interesting narrative which provides an interesting take on the social class structure. “Sea Oak” is a satiric story that scrutinises the structure of social class by justifying the circumstances of those living in poverty. Saunders provides suggestions for how a person can raise their position in the structure, but also cautions that it might involve selling their body. Saunders’ comment on poverty all through “Sea Oak” appears reliable via his ...

EU Neighbourhood Policy in the context of common foreign policy: the possibilities and limits of joint actions

Since its inception, the European Union has maintained its influential capacity in the European region, and it enabled a peaceful co-existence between member states and mutual development to flourish. When the Maastricht Treaty was implemented, and applications for accession of the Central and Eastern European countries increased, questions have evolved as to how the CEE countries would be able to adapt to the current policies of the European Union. There is also a concern as to how the current member states would have to bear the new addition in the organization and its effects in their respective countries. However, each member ...

Family Problems During Early Childhood and Adolescence (infancy to eight years old)

It was the 80s and it was a hot and sunny day in Miami. On her way home from work, my mother felt sharp pains in her stomach: she was in labor.
