Describe The Anne Arundel Community

In Streetwise, Elijah Anderson (1990) discusses the social forces at work in an urban area he calls the Village-Northton. His is a sociological field study of the daily interactions between the residents of an area encompassing two communities--in his words, "one black and low income to very poor (with an extremely high infant mortality rate), [and] the other racially mixed but becoming increasingly middle to upper income and white" (Anderson, 1990, p. ix). In keeping with valid sociological fieldwork, Anderson (1990) immersed himself in the community from the summer of 1975 through the summer of 1989.

Community is the difference between being and belonging. It is just too easy to just be a part of a group, but to feel like you belong to the group is far more meaningful. You can go to the meetings and know everyone’s names but none of that means anything if you don’t feel that you are a significant component in a group. To be a part of a community means that you are a part of group where inclusion, support and friendship are highly-regarded. The beauty about community is that everyone has their own gifts, talents, opinions and experiences to offer to it, therefore making each member valuable. As a Resident Assistant, I intend to create an inclusive community in which each person is accepted and encouraged regardless of race, gender, religion, sexual-orientation or ability. By promoting diversity in my community, I hope that everyone gains a sense of belonging. In my community, I will have an open mind and tolerant attitude and will encourage my residents to do the same. Because understanding that no two residents are the same, I will conduct myself through equity. I will try to learn about my residents individually so if

There were open lots near the shelter, Gateway Park, and between residential homes. Many of the lots contained trash and overgrowth. The sidewalks, highways, and paved/dirt roads were all

The 70806 of Baton Rouge, LA consists of a diverse community of college students, low income and middle class income areas. Driving through the community reveals income inequality, poverty and opulence, homelessness and extravagant houses, healthy youth and elderly sick individuals. It was a challenge to assess the 70806 due to the great diversity but a much greater challenge to come up with viable.

Anne Arundel County is an appealing place to live due to its close proximity to the growing Washington Metropolitan area and the redeveloping Baltimore Metropolitan area. The county is rich heritage and natural beauty. It is well renowned for its access to the Chesapeake Bay, extensive network of community parks/trials, and nature preserves. With 534 miles of linear coastline, the county ranks second for waterfront, after Frederick County, in the state and second in the nation when compared to other counties (Brown & Singh, 2016). In addition, the county is home to the state capital of Annapolis (Appendix A), the region’s largest airport, and the United States Naval Academy. Anne Arundel County is known for boating, fishing, crabbing, water

The community that I will be using is in the city Tampa, Florida. It surrounds my place of employment. During my observation, I notice that there are many minority low income families, shelters for the homeless. Include homelessness. There are three hospitals, 2 urgent care center, Walk-in clinics, a behavioral clinic, nursing homes with extended rehabilitation, few colleges and universities, miniature malls, many dental offices, numerous fast food chains and restaurants. There are two sports complexes: Steinbrenner’s baseball field and the Buccaneer’s Stadium. Also there are many churches, Walmart Super Center, a movie theatre and a Zoo.

The Harlem Children’s Zone project included people that could be distinguished from others based upon the locality of their resident even though, there were people that had similar issues outside of the set perimeters. The people had to be in Central Harlem to benefit from the services offered through the Harlem Children’s Zone project. The commonality of the group of people in the particular zone signified a diverse population based upon their ethnicity.

The family lives in a medium two story 3 bedroom home in the suburbs of Monte Verde, Costa Rica. The house was very warm, inviting, and had a great view overlooking the mountains of Costa Rica. The streets had minimal lighting, no paved roads, and wild dogs running in the streets. The area my family lived in was considering extremely safe because everyone knows everyone within their community. They

Demographics: Christiana’s social community consists of males who enjoy sporting activities like playing football; every Saturday they play “old vs. young football” on the school grounds. The females enjoy cooking and talking with each other. Even in the recent warning of the devastating hurricane Matthew, they cooked food for everyone including neighbours. The area that stood out the most is that they are all well-educated even up to the university level. They inspire each other to be at their best at all times. Although some close friends and families live in other countries, a strong bond still exists. The children from this group have developed a sub-group where they have fun playing games, and they also help each other with homework. Economic

It is important to acknowledge that high quality of life is produced through more than just a burgeoning revenue. It is achieved by creating a dynamic network and a welcoming community. However, for a project such as the community center to succeed, citizens must want to participate and stay engaged with various functions and activities that these facilities would host. Since the town doesn’t currently have another outlet on par with this community center, this new advancement

The community that I chose for my assessment paper is Park Hill Staten Island. The definition of community is a group of people living at the same place. I chose this community because I have live here for 10 years. Park Hill is in Clifton Staten island, which is in the North Shore of Staten Island. Park Hill is by the north-east side of Staten Island. Just walking a few blocks, you can see the water. The other side of the water is Brooklyn and you can see the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. The size of Park Hill is 1.3 square miles, with a population of 20,000. In the 1817, most of the land property was own by the Vanderbilt family. In the 1900 the Fox Hills Golf Club used to be in Park Hill, but now it is Park Hill apartments. By the 1980s, it gains a nickname of

The groups found in the city are: “Hispanics 27.4%; Caucasian 37.6%; Asian/ Pacific islanders: 30.5%; African American 12.3%; American Indian .8%; other races 13.3%, this makes up 84,950 as the population”(City of San Leandro). These are just about all of the races divided and 10% of that are dealing with poverty. Religion is usually questioned because of the difficulty they are experienced makes the people wonder if, there really is a God, and when will he bring them out of this misery? Children, Adults, Teens, all of America are affected with struggles and facing hardship every

Space that is documented and utilized by humans, whether directly or indirectly, takes on a basic level of social utility and cultural construction. As Elias Canetti would suggest, the prospect of touch carries with it the risk of being taken and subsequently assimilated or digested (1). The predecessors to the first great urban parks in the United States, namely country estates, cemeteries, and town squares or plazas, all contribute some aesthetic and related ideological basis for a newly emerging discourse of urban parks. Parks were seen as the “poor-man’s countryside,” in reference to the country estates of the wealthy. Also, cemeteries were the first naturalistic open spaces consistently built within urban boundaries. The idea of the commons and town square is perhaps the most telling predecessor of the city park.
