Diversity In New York

Growing up in New York City is a very unique experience. You grow up surrounded by a diverse population of people packed tightly into one city. But with this kind of diversity come the questions of self-identification and how others view you. I was born and raised in the upper Manhattan neighborhood of Washington Heights which is known for its mostly Dominican population. Moreover, growing up in the public school system and everyday New York living has exposed me to many different Latino and Black communities and culture. I have experienced racism; I have experienced the implementation of hegemonic ideals and I have been exposed to poverty. Even after all the civil rights movements and activism that have

This week’s topic of California becoming such a diverse powerhouse in the U.S and also how California being such a diverse state plays an important role in the U.S. government”. California is a hybrid democracy which means there are two types of democracies within California’s government. Representative means that we elect of political officials that best represents our interests. This also happens on a federal level which is why we have various elections throughout the years that allows us to vote for who we want in Congress, also on who we want to be our president. Direct Democracy gives power to the people in California allowing us to have a voice in how we want to see our state government run California (The Basics, 3:33). These two democracies

In Ohio there many different thing that makes us different as state. We said to be the most boring and we don’t have many interesting artifacts, but I think that there are many different things that you can find interesting in Ohio. There are many different historical regions in Ohio that a lot of people here don’t know about that makes us so different each city in Ohio have a different way of life because our ancestors were so different. This causes something as simple as dialect to be different considering how close to the south or how close you are to the north.

According to Josh Sides, author of “L.A. City Limits,” there are three reasons why the demography of Southern California shifted so much in the 20th century. Sides states that diverse racial composition, dynamic economic growth, and dispersive spatial arrangement are what makes Southern California what it is today. He believes people migrated to the Los Angeles area looking for a better opportunity for work and living conditions. In the book, Sides makes it clear that Los Angeles is the city where African Americans chose to reside in order to seek better living conditions. People, especially minorities, wanted to be treated fairly and they wanted to be looked at as equals. Sides gets this point across clearly when he says “…they wanted to be treated with respect, dignity, and equality in public…” It is because of these reasons that minorities began changing the face of not only Los Angeles, but the entire state of California.

Are State Senate district 12, and State Assembly districts 24 and 25 racial gerrymanders prohibited by the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause with race as a predominant factor in redistricting?

Diversity exists all across the United States. It is defined as the state of having people who are different races or who have different cultures in a group or organization, according to Merriam-Webster dictionary. Along with the ever-growing diversity in America, brings along intercultural communication. Intercultural communication can be defined as a situated communication between individuals or groups of different linguistic and cultural origins. Due to the limitless amounts of diversity and intercultural communication across the United States, misunderstandings and clashes between cultures are bound to occur. These clashes have been as extreme to be used to explain violence and crime not only in the United States, but also throughout our entire nation. On the other end, these cultural clashes can be so personal in our everyday lives because of our expectations of a certain behavior coming from our own cultural backgrounds, as many others have very different cultural backgrounds and expectations of us.

Looking at the diversity in New York City you can see that each of its counties has its own story and not much cohesion of general stories. The Bronx has experienced an infusion of different ethnicities of Hispanics and a slight decrease in the diversity of its Asian community all this and it is on par with Richmond County to be one of the least diversified areas. Kings County has been steadily losing the diversity of it Asian immigrants but its Hispanic diversity continues to increase each census period. New York County revealed a high total diversity with an increasingly diverse Hispanic community but its Asian community is the lease diversified. Lastly, Richmond is the lease diversified in the 1990 and 2010 census but its total diversification

Throughout the world social problems such as illiterate, elderly, handicapped, minority groups, and poverty have been the biggest part in our society for many years. Some of our social problems had died off, meanwhile, they’re still many problem that we are still facing as a society. One of the major social problem we face is people being illiterate. Being illiterate is meaning a person can not read nor write, and it can also mean that a person is grammatically incorrect. There is as much as 23% of the adult population that are ignorant to basic skills of the 4th grade level. In the U.S. the ethnic group that is most affected by not being able to read or write is

Since the six grade I always wanted to travel to Chicago for band. So I joined a band I had an extremely fun Time. I got to seventh grade and I was in concert band and if I wanted to perform in Chicago I had to make the symphonic band by eighth-grade. I practice so much in seventh grade that eighth-grade came around I was the second chair in the symphonic band tuba section. I made it through almost all of eighth grade year and made a lot of memories but, I still had one more to go, Chicago.

Being raised in California has allowed me to experience and educate myself on diverse backgrounds, cultures, and lifestyles. California is a melting pot, a beautiful serenity of different people. As a social worker, we will have to work with a diverse range of clients and remove any bias to work effectively. I was raised into a family of different ethnicities, religion, and political beliefs. Though we have our differences, we can still come together to celebrate our lives. Also, as an LGBT person, I feel that I should be more open to diversity because many others have opened themselves to the community over the last couple of years. We do not need to understand fully the differences of others. We need to strive to open our minds up to things

There is a reversed relationship between the diversity and segregation of cities from Silver analysis base on citywide diversity index and integration/segregation index. By looking at the citywide index from Brown University’s American Communities project based on the 2010 Census, the percentage of citywide diversity index in Chicago is 70.3% . It indicates Chicago is the 7th in the most diverse at city level (45.0 % White; 32.9% Black or African American; 5.5% Asian; 28.9% Hispanic or Latino of any race; 13.4% from other race) . It also ranks the top as the most segregated city with -18.6% among the 100 most populous cities. From racial level, we see Chicago is as segregated as its citywide diversity base on mathematically method. From geographic

The United States for years has been a country full of opportunities. As of the freedoms, the United States is a country full of many different types of people with their own cultures and different views of life. A reason for this is that, the United States is promoted as an interwoven country. The United States is the land of opportunities, but it can also be abundant in diversity and exclude others because of their culture or just the fact that people are not the same skin color. The color of one’s skin can also predict what opportunities people have in life. The United States may have a pluralistic society, but it can also be the greatest diverse country. Everyone in the United States no matter which race wants to achieve the American Dream

America is a strong country, but no one ever said it was perfect, and it’s not. I don’t always agree with everything and love all of our choices. I do believe, though that I am very lucky to live here. We get a say to where we want to go, what we want to be, and how we want to live. There are some things that we should do better at, but doesn’t every country?

David O’Sullivan, from Yonkers NY, brought up some positive things about living in New York City. He talked about the very social environment. “I moved from there to Morehead, KY and it is totally opposite. I like clubs, bowling alleys, a choice of a million restaurants to eat at, and places to hang out, which are the things New York City has.” David also brought up the point that you do not have to own a car in the city. He took the subway everywhere, and got around much faster than compared to dealing with

The United States as a whole is seen as the land of opportunity. New York is a major central for diversity and because of that many people from different cultural atmospheres have brought their families and dreams to New York City. Although Immigration patters throughout the last 200 years have varied, New York has consistently seen people from around the world move to the city and call it home. From the earliest points in our history as a nation, New York has been a center for trade and economic growth. New York is known world wide as a cultural melting pot. While other states have had immigration surges, none have compared to the diversity and sheer number of immigrants that have made their way to the City. This paper will focus on
