Drawing on What You Have Learned About City Road from the Making Social Lives Dvd and Learning Companion 1, Describe Some of the Ways in Which Order Is Made and Repaired on the Street Which You Know

Life in Chippendale is rough, alcoholic and sad. Beveridge uses juxtaposition to contrast the names of the streets with what they sound to be. ‘Abercrombie sounds like the eccentric unmarried third cousin’ ‘but Abercrombie’s different’. Beveridge personifies the street as though it is a grumbling, alcoholic, causing trouble and disturbance. There is so much violence, as though men are fighting in their drunken confident state to up their lacking self esteem. ‘Sad daughter of the ruined slipper’ violence sexual abuse nothing of what is accepted in society. The community of Chippendale has no value anymore, no society morals exist. Life is not valued or precious, there seem to be no happy memories to ever come from this place ‘ streets go to wall like families’ ‘ ivy vine rose and myrtle not one of your descendants mourns your loss’ the people of Chippendale don’t want to remember this place at all. Though above the grime and run down nature, ‘Thomas and Edward have climbed to new heights, incomes and renovations, things are slightly looking up in one small part of town.

Richmond Road is near a shopping district and popular with university students (House, 2013, p. 2)

In Nightingale Square, a small run down ‘mom & pop’ grocery store, a newly updated/built Downtown Store. I noticed many vehicles parked on the streets and residents walking the streets.

How does the film waver between middle-class values and street values? (Relate to excerpt from There Are No Children Here reading). How does one’s social class need to be a part of any discussion of law and inequality?

She trekked forward, valiantly, against the aloof, inhospitable environment. Around her, she witnessed as the rudimentary surroundings drove individuals away as if it never wished for accost. Despite this she continued to trudge forward, despondently, waiting for a sign-- anything to warn her if she ought to continue or if she ought to give up. Eventually, she persisted. Ann Petry, in her novel The Street, explores the dynamic relationship between Lutie Johnson and the unfriendly urban setting through the articulate use of dramatic personification and vivid imagery as a metaphor for the uncertainty that ensues when relocating in a new, diverse, and vastly dissimilar environment.

Within the inner city, neighborhoods and streets holds a “code,” which are the set of informal rules governing the interpersonal public behavior among the inner city neighborhoods. The code holds many different aspects that are simply known by the people all over. Not only does the code of the street

Being new to an unfamiliar place is always a challenge and bring discomfort, being alone and knowing no one. In “The Street”, Ann Petry uses personification, selection of detail, and imagery in order to reveal Lutie's relationship to the urban setting and to show the challenges Lutie Johnson faces in the urban environment.

2. The street in where we live is where the wealthy people live, so it’s not really crowded like in streets of the city. Besides, it’s actually distant from the city.. the noises and the poor. Basically a good place to refresh and rest your minds. To be honest, I’m not really close with our neighbours. They’re rich too and somehow, I always get the feeling they actually pretend to be nice to other people and have this evil back-up plan somewhere in their head. (Which I do not have of course!)

In saying that in a decade, Clarkson became a microcosm for the world at large, St. John implies that it served to illustrate a lot of the situations that were present in the world despite the fact that it had been so far removed from them for so long. Due to the rapid influx of refugees, clarkson became more ethnically diverse and was forced to deal with culture shock as the residents were forced to interact with people from multiple backgrounds, as opposed to the homogeneity that they had been accustomed to. In several cases, the residents had to adjust their lifestyles in order to account for the changes that were taking place in their town. Such was the case with the opening of the new mosque or the new restaurants (38) for which they had

Aside from the shops and stores the town had to offer, The Opal Inn was the primary focal point and attractive factor that drew people from all over, as they knew that regardless of the duration of their trip, they could always count on a quality night’s sleep before returning home. However, The Opal Inn no longer existed and was replaced by Monroe’s Gentleman’s Lounge, which I found slightly appalling. Granted, people were and thought different than me and it wasn’t technically illegal, but I just couldn’t wrap my brain around something of little to no substance such as that, alongside being attached directly to the Tavern, certainly nothing good could’ve come of it. However I decided to shake those thoughts away seeing that I couldn’t do anything about it, and continued towards the center of town where the shops were located. The sun continued to illuminate the progressively more and more beautiful early afternoon as the cool breeze billowed through the spaces between the houses on both the left and right sides of the road, of which were separated from each other by a few long strides. There were only a few houses along the stretch of the entrance as they were housed by the shop owners or town founders, but the remaining houses usually sat on road tangent to this one that ran

With the express purpose of reducing crime rates and educating students, armed police have been allocated to NSW high schools to organize crime prevention workshops in terms of shoplifting, offensive behavior, graffiti and drugs and alcohol or to have strong links with schoolchildren; however, they are also faced with many difficulties such as the use of fake ID or a variety of negative community

In addition, she extends the idea of eyes upon the street showing that using and watching the street not only guarantees the safety, but it makes the street more attractive. She argues: “the sight of people attracts still other people” (37). Here, she points out the fact that people like watching other people and activities around them. Nobody likes places where there is nothing to see or to do. Interesting streets are attractive because we see different people, and different activities or businesses. In short, the more a street is frequented, the more it is secure and interesting and vice-versa. Safe streets and sidewalks contribute to the economic expansion of the city and the social fulfillment of people. Then we can conclude that safety is a one of primordial factor to the social and economic development of the city.

With an increase in urbanization, more people are moving to the industrial cities in pursuit of alternative lifestyle and jobs. Life in city and suburbs can be compared and contrasted with various aspects in mind since they share quite some details in as much as they are vastly different. Firstly, the transportation is more accessible in the city as compared to the suburb where there are no apt transport networks as compared to the city, among the transport mode in the city are subways, busses, trams and ferries. These provide easy, fast and cheap means of getting around in the city in as much as the streets are crowded. This is in contrast to the suburbs since owning a car is mandatory since such public transport systems are not available. When the costs of insurance, fuel expenses and time of commuting are added up then transport in suburbs is seen to be expensive when compared to that in the city. The easy transport in the city does not come all rosy since the city is also flooded with traffic jams due to congestion and this can render transport slow. This is contrast with suburb life where there is no traffic and hence with no congestion traveling in suburbs is more peaceful (Boulter, 2005).

This research paper will look at social norms and behavioural patterns in different metropolitan environments among various different groups of road users, paying special attention to how these groups interact with one another. My chosen method of research for this study was participant observation. The observations were done at three different commercial intersections within Metro Vancouver, located in areas of varying population density and exhibiting different physical characteristics.

Cities are places which have huge amount of gathering of people, collection of economic activities and complex infrastructure for people which all together are supported by transport systems.
