Neighboorhood And Life In Beverly, Chicago

Roseland and Englewood are both known neighborhoods for Some of the same reasons. They both have high crime rates, They both have great restaurants, and They are pretty accessible for everyday needs.

When a neighborhood is gentrified it will not only change the image of it, but also the services available there (Al-Kodmany 2011, 62-63). In other words, gentrification does not only have an impact on the physical aspect of the land, but also the resources that lie there. During the 90s, the Near West Side neighborhood located near Loop, an up-scale neighborhood, sought drastic changes within the area. The changes in racial demographics in the Near West Side indicated that the health risks that affected minorities dropped in the past decade (1992-2002) (Al-Kodmany 2011,

The police should always set a good example to the public showing that they are working productively and are reducing crime in the community making the public feel safe.

Two neighborhoods in Chicago Such as Hyde Park and the West side of Chicago are very different but have a variety of similarities as well. The differences and similarities lies in the areas, the houses, the schools, political views, the food and basically the towns their self. Neither of the two neighborhoods is the best to live in but sure is not the worse. In the west side of Chicago, you see plenty of people standing around on the corners, theirs a lot of liquor stores and fast food restaurants. The crime rate in the West side is higher than Hyde parks that including the car thefts and burglaries. Don´t get me wrong both neighborhoods crime rate is high but i think the better of the two would be Hyde Park. Hyde Park is located on the shore of Lake Michigan seven miles of the south loop in the south side of Chicago. Hyde Park is also where the University of Chicago, The Museum of Science and Industry is.They also have a nice Art Center. Its a very diverse community while the West side is predominantly African American (Black). Both Neighborhoods are democratic areas. The houses in the West side are more closer together and they barely have any driveways mostly just allies and gang ways. The houses nice sizes with affordable rent. You can find plenty of cheap homes and rental properties there with ok living areas. They also have restaurants and convenient stores in the areas so if you don´t have a car or transportation its okay because im pretty sure you find something

One hundred and seventeen police officers died in 2014, and one was a police officer from Placer County Sheriff. His name was Mike Davis and gunned down on October 24th, 2014 with another officer from Sacramento County. Since 1791, 20538 police officers have died in the line of duty. Also, videos have ruined their reputation, like a San Francisco homeless man who resisted arrest, but the bystanders did not see him kick the officer. Finally, the reason why there is police is to stop people from killing other people.. To conclude, police officers deserve credit and honor than they have been receiving right now because they risk their lives to make our world safer.

The gentrification process can be seen through the demographic and physical changes of the South Parkdale neighborhood. Gentrification is “the invasion of working-class areas by the upper- and middle-classes, who upgrade shabby, modest housing into elegant residences, resulting in the displacement of all, or most of the original working-class occupiers”. (Lyons, 1996) South Parkdale is a neighborhood in downtown Toronto that faces problems of gentrification. This problem has been ongoing since the nineteen fifty’s’.

When one thinks of a cop. What should come to mind is “hero.” But nowadays cops are seen as people you want to stay away from. In the past, they were publicly displayed as heroes on television shows and parents, as well as children, knew the names of the officers patrolling their neighborhoods. However, times have certainly changed because police departments have increased the size of their force and tactics have switched and have become less about protect and serve, and more of a militaristic approach. Police officers have abused their power for too long because they have access to so many different types of weapons and there’s been so many cases involving police brutality that it needs to come to an end and they need to be held accountable for what they’ve done.

Police Officers are there to help people and protect them, but sometimes Police Officers go above and beyond the needs that are put on them. When these instances happen, these Police Officers usually have a very big impact on the lives of the people that they touch, and the people that they help out the along way. I personally was fortunate enough to have met a police officer that went above and beyond the call of duty and was known to be there for you if you were ever in a situation where you might need help. Lieutenant Charles Joseph “Joe” Gliniewicz was a Police Officer that went above and beyond the things he had to do in the oath that he was sworn into. He always believed a lot in integrity, and was inspirational to not only the younger generations, but also to people his own age. He was one of the most loving people I have ever met.

Growing up everyone has been told stories of cops and how they represent being hero’s. Cops are supposed to save peoples lives and stand up against crime and violence but the stores we have been told are not exactly one hundred percent correct. The LAPD was involved in one of the most talked about scandals known as the Rampart Scandal where many police officer where involved in the beating, racial discrimination, and racial profiling.

Growing up was a little boy who had a dream that wanted to become a hero, a hero that helps and save lives, a hero that is willing to a take risk for his country. A hero willing to save their family and friends . A Police officer was made to enforce the law, to serve and protect from crime and to stop all the killing and the violence. As soon start to get a little older,started to understand more and seeing them on the news saw the police were killing citizens, beating up teenagers, accusing others of having drugs and police were also dope dealing. My dream of becoming a police was fading away, my hero days were crushed and thinking police was our hero’s. Police were not creating justice in our cities.

how it has faded tremendously from the historic sense of Chicago being a city of strong

Chicago in the 1920s was a turning point for the development of ethnic neighborhoods. After the opening of the first rail connection from New York to Chicago in the 1840s, immigration sky rocketed from that point on. Majority of the immigrants to Chicago were Europeans. The Irish, Italians, eastern European Jews, Germans, and Mexicans were among the most common ethnicities to reside in Chicago. These groups made up the greater part of Chicago. The sudden increase in immigration to Chicago in the 1920s soon led to an even further distinguished separation of ethnicities in neighborhoods. The overall development of these neighborhoods deeply impacted how Chicago is sectioned off nowadays. Without these ethnicities immigrating to Chicago

How exactly does a neighborhood become gentrified? First, analyze the word. According to Dictionary.com, gentrification is defined as, “the buying and renovation of houses and stores in deteriorated urban neighborhoods by upper- or middle-income families or individuals, thus improving property values but often displacing low-income families and small businesses” (“Gentrification | Define Gentrification at Dictionary.com”). Usually, the terminology has a negative connotation associated with the meaning. Considering that the phrase links affluent residents, mostly white, to capitalizing on inexpensive real estate located within the ghetto. This was recognized in Bed-Stuy during the mid-nineties. Furthermore, the newcomers are eventually praised

Residential segregation is a wide spread topic of discussion throughout cities across the United States. With population in larger cities growing, the separation of groups into neighborhoods is common — placing different standards of living on each section depending on the wealth and race of the inhabitants. In There Goes the Neighborhood: Racial Ethnic, and Class Tensions in Four Chicago Neighborhoods and Their Meaning for America William Julius Wilson and Richard P. Taub explore a new areas of Chicago and the residential segregation taking place there by creating a

Since Chicago is one of the largest segregated cities in the country, why don't people move to make it more diverse? A national survey that was taken said that blacks agreed that “black people have a right to live wherever they can afford to”. Over 70 percent of blacks support laws that enforce that right, but only 40 percent of whites said that they would support those laws. Blacks support integration, but because the two races disagree on whether or not blacks should be able to live where they want to, the city will stay segregated instead of solving the problem of making the city more diverse.Over 87 percent of blacks are fine with living in a neighborhood that was only 20 percent black. This proves that blacks are more open to making Chicago an area that is not segregated. If where you live also affects your education and limits your job opportunities, then it's understandable why blacks are ready to move. Blacks typically live in more run down areas that usually provides a bad school system and because they don't have a good education, they don't have access to good jobs. Access to housing is harder for black people because white people disagree with the values that they
