Living In Shanty Town

Homeless is taking place throughout the world. That is an issue because some people still end back on the street or never had the opportunity to get off the street. Some inviduals may still be on the street and never go the opportunity to get off the street. Each inviduals have their own story of how they became homeless. Some inviduals may have ended up homeless due to unemployment, house caught on fire, was staying with a family member who later passed away, never had money save in case of a emergency and the list goes on. The issue that relate to housing for the homeless is that it is not enough space for everyone. The programs that is available tend to be overcrowded due to so many people being homeless with nowhere to go. Another issue with housing for the homeless is the environment in some programs.

Born just over five pounds in Jacksonville's St Vincent's Hospital, Ronnie grew up in one of the toughest households in one of the toughest areas of Jacksonville, Florida's Westside "Shanty Town." This toughness permeated his entire being, almost from day one. Growing up on Mull Street, Ronnie was the undisputed king among the boys who would gather to play baseball or football -- games that usually degenerated into raucous free-for-alls because of a missed catch or disputed strike. These games introduced Ronnie with his first love -- baseball. He hoped that sports would rescue him from Shanty Town and recalled in 1975, "I went as far as playing American Legion ball. The next step would have been AA. I played center field. I had the highest

Into the bush, not home. Unfortunately Salva couldn’t find his parents. He thought, “Where are we going? Where is my family” (Park 7). He ran until he couldn’t run anymore, then he walked. Salva was walking with other people. He walked until the sun went down. After they stopped walking and it was night time. Everybody decided they would group each other with their villages. Eventually Salva heard his village name, “The village of Loun-Ariik, here!” (Park 9). He found his village! Once he visually found them there were about twelve people in his group. Salva looked at everyone from his village, none of them were his family. They spent the night at a road. Once morning came they started walking again. While they were walking the Rebels saw them, came up to them and forced all of the men to come with them. All that was left were women and children. That night they slept in a barn they found. Salva woke up in the morning and everybody was gone, he thought, “Nobody else was in the barn...Nobody, nothing”(Park

Living in America, we don’t tend to have to deal with these problems first hand. But in other countries, their whole life is based on protecting their family from rebels, or other attacks. This image shows the lack of basic necessities in other countries that are suffering. It is important to know what is going on around the world, because these people are human just like us, yet they don’t have anything. Humans are all equal. We should all have the same chances in life, but unfortunately money, and politics will always affect our lives in one way or

It was a dark, stormy night in Philadelphia. The streets were empty, and all you could hear was the sound of pouring rain. The other houses were completely dark, not a single speck of light in sight. The street lights were all broken, all but one that flicked on and off continuously. As the rain poured and thunder roared in the distance, two siblings were having a normal conversation which slowly grew into an argument. “So, I’ve been thinking about working for the King, like joining His Majesty’s army,” the older brother, Thomas, said. “I heard it was a good pay. What about you?”

Once upon a time there lived a boy named Jake. he was five at the time when tragedy struck his small town. The kingdom of Arcone attacked his small town riverwood with a large army. Bailey’s parents grabbed Jake and threw open the door running through the town to get to the forest. They heard arrows whiz by their heads as they ran. Jake’s mom yelled “keep running Bailey, don’t stop! We will meet you in the forest, just go to Eriza. They will take care of you until we get there.” Jake looked back and saw his parents get taken by the soldiers then they turned to him and started chasing the young boy. Jake took off running as fast as his legs would let him into the forest.

Inner city distress in the American economy is not the only pressing issue facing the nation. Lack of businesses and jobs in most inner cities fuels a crushing cycle of poverty and crippling social problems like crime and drug abuse. As the condition of inner cities continue to worsen, debate on how to improve them through such measures as education, financial and technical assistance has continued to grow. The sad reality is that efforts from the past decades to address the causes of inner cities poverty have failed. Attempts to establish a sustainable economy through the creation of employment opportunities, wealth creation, and improved infrastructure (Kasarda, 4) have not worked. These efforts have failed

According to Curley (2005), urban poverty has been a huge issue for hundreds of years. The people living in inner-city neighborhoods were the primary target for poverty. It had a tremendous effect on the black population; it increased by 164 percent in ten years alone. Finding a job became hardly impossible. Therefore, neighborhoods began to segregate, leaving the disadvantaged poor behind. The neighborhoods relied on welfare to make ends meets. This resulted in an increase in crime rates (p.97). This paper was a view of how early ecologist viewed urban poverty.

The article, Young, Poor, Urban Dwellers Most Likely to Become Crime Victims by Jim Norman is about a statistical data on the most common victims of crime consisting theft, vandalism, burglary, sexual assault, etc. It seems very logical for the young adults to fall under this particular category because they have less experience and to those who commit those crimes would see the inexperience to be a huge vulnerability. As well with the poor because they live in environments that make it easier for the criminals to commit crimes. The same goes for the urban dwellers because in a city so populated most criminals think that they would have a higher chance of getting away punishment free. This article backs up the logic and provides tangible

“Bodies of men, women, and children lay strewn in great disarray” (Life in the ghettos 4-5). Others lay mortally wounded, crying out for help, moaning with pain, with head wounds or limbs torn from their bodies. The ghettos started in 1939 . During the holocaust, a ghetto was a special section of a city in which Jewish people were forced to live . They Jews in the ghettos were identified by their yellow badges worn. Within the ghetto the lives of the people oscillated in the desperate struggle between survival and death from disease or starvation. There were several families living in one apartment, and the Germans would try to starve them to death. Life in the ghettos was unbearable.

“A ghetto is a part of a city in which members of a minority group live, especially because of social, legal, or economic pressure.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghetto) Jews were restricted and segregated in the ghettos. Many people ied in these ghettos. Thoughout this article we will cover what is a ghetto and what happened in a ghetto. Also we will talk about the stories of the people who had to live in the ghettos.

A Slum refers to informal settlements within urban areas or cities. The informal settlements depict inadequate housing and miserable condition with reference to living standards (Meade p 43). In the slums, numerous individuals seek housing facilities within small living spaces. The slums also lack basic local authority services such as sanitation, collection of waste, water, drainage systems, street lighting, and emergency roads.
