Gender Stereotypes In Parkchester

To help counter these negative racial effects, there have been different movements in the borough to help concentrate the influence of communities that have traditionally lived in the area. Middle class African Americans in Brooklyn, specifically, have searched for ways to continue to help define Brooklyn in a way that isn’t resistant to change, but that helps to keep the influence of groups such as black Brooklynites inside the

Harlem, NY used to be a majority black neighborhood in the 1950s when its population consisted of 341,000 African-Americans. From a census taken in 2010, the population went through a significant drop of only 41% African-Americans (Sam Roberts, 2010). Of course, this is an attribute to gentrification, where residents seeking affordable-living are pushed out of their haven, a home where their family’s roots are planted and have no other choice than to move farther and find a place to meet the need for

Park Avenue, on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, is one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in all of New York City, home to the ultra rich, the top tier of the American upper class, the 1% (Park Avenue). Those who reside in Park Avenue not only have vast amounts of wealth, but an immense amount of influence that has turned the tables in their favor. But, if you go a couple of miles North of Park Avenue and cross the Harlem river, you arrive at the other side of Park Avenue or otherwise known as the Bronx, one of the poorest districts in all of New York (Park Avenue). Here you see the real hardships average Americans must voyage through in order to put food on the table and provide shelter for their families. 40% of the 700,000 residents who

The statistics regarding the Bronx and Queens depicts a substantial difference between the two boroughs. The population in Queens is nearly a million more compared to the Bronx. However, the major cause of death for both happens to be Heart Disease as it takes the lives of thousands in the districts. The racial and ethnic composition is vaguely alike besides the percentage of Hispanic or Latino, Asian, and Black or African American. The Bronx has practically double the percentage of Hispanics and African Americans, yet, Queens has 22.3% more Asians than those in the Bronx. Nevertheless, the boroughs happen to be very diverse despite the differences. There is still a wide gap between the level of median household income as Queens is much more

But now some of the places that they would walk by, it is a little embarrassing.

Part of the article focuses on African American mothers living in Harlem where 69% are families where the head of the family is the women. These tend to work or get their income from more than one source, and many are still below the poverty line. Many of these women, sho live in low income neighbourhoods on top of these struggle to keep their children away or bring them out of the drug culture in their neighbourhood, since the a lot of the youth tend to be in these cultures. This as well afects their reproduction because some might not want to have children beause their scared of them being eveloped in this drug world. African Americans have twice the rate of infant death compared to the whole america while Central Harlem had three times the amount of death.

Neighborhoods, like South Jamaica, Queens,where I'm from, hasn't been omitted from the populace boom that was once exclusive to the more appealing boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn and The Bronx. When people migrated to the Big Apple from all over the world, they settled in the boroughs closer to public transportation and burgeoning job markets. Jamaica, Queens wasn't considered the ideal borough for families moving from the South to the north because throughout the 19th to early 20th centuries, Jamaica was mainly populated by whites as new Irish immigrants settled around the places known today as Downtown and Baisley Pond Park. By the 1950s, however, in what was later called "white flight", African-American families with middle incomes began to move in as white families fled to Long Island. After the 1970s, as housing prices began to tumble, many Hispanic, such as Salvadorans, Colombians, Dominicans, and West Indian immigrants, moved in. These ethnic groups tended to stay

The Bronx has been changing over the years as realtors and big corporations set foot in New York City. The Bronx has always been seen as a bad borough because of history of crime rate, poverty, and aggressiveness towards other people in the past, but it has slowly been shifting towards a positive change. Gun Hill Road was one of the neighborhoods in the Bronx that was usually known as a ‘ghetto’ area. This is because of the infamous reputation of the projects and areas around them having higher-than-usual crime rates.

As Landon Y. Jones, American editor and author, describes in his The Baby Boom, citizens with old fashioned values and aspirations thrived in the suburbs. World War II played a factor in the suburban housing by providing homes to “veterans and their newly established families,” as described by Hofstra University graduate Barbara M. Kelly in her Little Boxes, Big Ideas (Kelly.1). The American suburb was so valued that a land was specifically developed for a suburban community known as Levittown. This community would be known as “... a postwar poster child for everything right (affordability, better standard of living) and wrong (architectural monotony, poor planning, racism) with suburbia” as Joshua Ruff, a college teacher and historian from New York, explains in his article “For sale: the American dream” (Ruff.4). Despite providing housing for returning veterans, the lack of diversity and stigmatisms held within the suburban community stagnated all but the white middle class. In the video “Crisis in Levittown,” a black family moves in and causes an uproar within the uni-color community. The video “Our Home Town” attempts to sell the image of suburbia to be wonderfully infallible, despite the lack of diversity. In “The Houses of Levittown in the Context of Postwar American Culture” Kelly notes that “by making the “American Home”-- the quintessential symbol of the American dream,” even though this dream only applies to those who fit the American Dream’s standards (Kelly.5) While the 1950s could be seen as a time for America’s political and economic growth, the cultural stagnation wilted the seed of the American

1.) In this class we have examined the sociological forces that created the social conditions from which Hip-Hop emerged in the Bronx. Drawing upon Chang, as well as videos (Bronx is Burning, Flying Cut Sleeves etc.), discuss the sociological roots of rap. Specifically, what social forces (for example: state policies, global economic trends, technological advancements, community characteristics as well as race, class, gender politics) were present and facilitated the development of Hip-Hop?

I have been reading all the posts on Facebook for a while now. First off not going to take sides, other than the fact I am a Southerner. Feel my Mom coming out of me now. I haven't done my in depth research on the taking down of the Stone Mountains mural, but come on. .seriously. I personally don't see you other than you individually. No matter what your race, gender or sexual preferences are, isn't the whole point based on the argument to be recognized and respected. If this is really true, then why tear down another's background. Extremist in this world are the one's that bring hate to another's background and views. If you really want to be equal, then focus on getting your views out and don't criticize the rest. Not that hard to

A group of children in London were spending their afternoon looking for Easter eggs. However, their afternoon turned out to be a lot more thrilling than they expected. They ended up being involved in a dramatic police chase. The kids saw two men run across the field. They formed an arrow, which lead the police to the suspect. The officers then arrested the suspects.

Jackelyn Hwang and Robert J. Sampson argue that racial hierarchy governs residential selection and in turn gentrifying neighborhoods. To observe and detect cues of any neighborhood change they used Google Street View. In Chicago from 2007 to 2009 it was concentrated of blacks and Latinos in the neighborhoods that showed sign of gentrification. Gentrification is often used negatively suggesting the displacement of poor communities by rich outsiders.

Hip-Hop is a cultural movement that emerged from the dilapidated South Bronx, New York in the early 1970’s. The area’s mostly African American and Puerto Rican residents originated this uniquely American musical genre and culture that over the past four decades has developed into a global sensation impacting the formation of youth culture around the world. The South Bronx was a whirlpool of political, social, and economic upheaval in the years leading up to the inception of Hip-Hop. The early part of the 1970’s found many African American and Hispanic communities desperately seeking relief from the poverty, drug, and crime epidemics engulfing the gang dominated neighborhoods. Hip-Hop proved to be successful as both a creative outlet for

How women are perceived by others, and how women perceive themselves, impacts their leadership roles in the work place. Stereotypes and gender biases are themes women have been dealing with for centuries. How women are perceived by social medial and television have been influencing how they are treated by men, and how they view themselves when it comes to taking a leadership role in their organization. According to Omega Institute (2012), “The rapidly shifting landscape of new media and technology, including reality television and celebrity culture, continue to reinforce gender stereotypes” (p. 1). This leads to men still growing up viewing women as home makers versus bread winner. With more women entering leadership roles in the work place they lack the respect from men due to how these men have grown up to know the typical role of a man and woman. Men tend to feel belittled due to the gender stereotypes seen on television, and this leads to women struggling to succeed as a leader with the lack of support from their male counterparts. Lack of confidence with women in the workplace is also influenced and effected by how women are perceived in social media and television. According to Steele (2005), “Exposure to stereotypic commercials persuade women to avoid leadership roles” (p. 276). As young women grow up seeing the typical gender stereotypes they lack ambitions to break the mold and
