P. S 107x Case Study

New York City consists of five boroughs, Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island. The borough that I reside in is Brooklyn. Brooklyn has approximately 2.592 million people inhabiting this district and approximately 23.4 percent of individuals who reside in Brooklyn, NY come from a low-income household or in other words come from poverty. With catholic and private schools being expensive, people have to rely on the education system to provide their children with a good education. In this paper I will be discussing the public school education system ranging solely up to high school in Brooklyn New York and giving a general idea of the New York education system as well.

Over the years, Bensonhurst has diversified and experienced a remarkable amount of change, especially in terms of the population. Bensonhurst’s diversity is not limited to just those particular ethnic groups mentioned above, there are also a lot of Albanians, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and more.  According to the statistics of the residents in Bensonhurst & Bath Beach Puma, NY, the most common country of origins is China, Ukraine, and Italy (“BENSONHURST & BATH BEACH PUMA, NY,” n.d.). While, there is a high relative number of people born in Belarus, Azerbaijan, and Uzbekistan. Whereas the most common race or ethnicity is white, Asian, and then Hispanic (“BENSONHURST & BATH BEACH PUMA, NY,” n.d.). This once again reinforces the idea that the authenticity of Bensonhurst is changing, considering the Italian population is no longer as prominent and predominant over other ethnic groups. New residents are replacing former residents and thus, causing a lot of diversity and modification. Currently, Bensonhurst, for the most part, is divided based on ethnicity. The 18th Avenue section is highly populated with Asians, whereas the “northern blocks, adjacent to Borough Park” are popular with Orthodox Jews (Mooney, 2011). The southern blocks, near the ocean as well as the Bath Beach part are popular with Russians. The division based on ethnic groups suggests a restrictive kind of mentality in which people would rather stick with their own ethnicity rather than engage and reside with those

First and foremost, South-Central Brooklyn is one of the most overpopulated community within Brooklyn, it is extremely diverse with many rich cultures and traditions. Within it, lies seven neighborhoods which are Flatbush, Borough Park, Ditmas Park, Midwood, Kensington, Manhattan Terrance, and Prospect Park South. It serves Community Districts 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 17. It mostly consists of densely populated African American, Hispanic and West Indian neighborhoods. According to the 2015 U.S census bureau, the population of Brooklyn stands at 2,504,700 out of which South-Central Brooklyn has approximately 804,982 residents and it is expected to have grown gradually through the one year-period that has elapsed (United States Census Bureau, 2014). This is more than double the amount of the total number of people that was living in South- Central Brooklyn in 2000, which was only 317, 300. Presently there are 37% Caucasians, 36% African American, 16% Hispanic, 10% Asian, and 2% other (Indian) living in South-Central Brooklyn. The female population is 54.6%, and the male population is 45.4% (United States Census Bureau, 2014).

Once again, he finds children that are forced to learn in a facility that isn’t fit to be inhabited, much less a school. He the visits P.S. 79, which is extremely overcrowded, After viewing these two decrepit schools, he visits Riverdale, P.S. 24. Because of the property value of the houses around Riverdale, the school gets a lot more money than either P.S. 261 or P.S. 79. This chapter focuses on how money is divided up to schools. It appears that the value of the homes in the district far a school determines the amount of money that in invested into that school. Kozol emphasized the importance of financial need in the school system therefore giving a positive outlook on many of the schools. He incorporated the fact that values and income does determine the level of a child’s education.

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 other 30 percent said that “I do not really think about how dangerous the Bronx is since I have lived here for so long that I do not really mind” others said that “I have three jobs, I work all day long and when I am not at work I like to stay home resting. I do not really be in the street looking for trouble.”. When asked the same question to people that did not live in the bronx they all said “The Bronx is the most dangerous borough in New York City, it would be the last place I would ever move to.” Most of the people interviewed feel unsafe in the

The novel Ordinary Resurrections, written by Jonathan Kozol, focuses on an area in south New York called the Bronx, which is a poor community composed of mainly African-American and Hispanic people. The author, Jonathan Kozol, focuses the novel specifically on the children who live in a section of the South Bronx called Mott Haven, which is America’s “epicenter for the plague of pediatric and maternal AIDS” (Kozol 3) and is “one of the centers of an epidemic of adult and pediatric asthma.” (Kozol 3). The people of Mott Haven do not have sufficient access to healthcare, live in extreme poverty, and are malnourished.

It includes such neighborhoods as Riverdale, Fieldstone, Woodlawn, Williamsbridge, Eastchester, Yonkers, Mamaroneck, Rye, Larchmont, Pelham, Scarsdale, and many others. The demographic groups by race and ethnicity that dominate this district are white, black, and Hispanic. The majority of people within this district are white, who make up about thirty-six percent of the population. However, the 16th Congressional district is still relatively diverse, with black people making up about thirty-two percent of the population and Hispanic people making up about twenty-four percent. Additionally, a majority of the population in the 16th Congressional District are english speakers, with about thirty-three percent of the population speaking a language besides English at home. Moreover, the median household income level in the 16th Congressional District is about $69,086. Within the 16th District, about thirty-nine percent of the population make under $50,000, whereas about twenty-six percent make between $50,000 and $100,000, and about twenty-three percent make between $100,000 and $200,000. The income levels of the 16th Congressional District alludes to the idea that the people who Engel represents, primarily come from middle or upper-class backgrounds. Also, about eighty-five percent of the population within this district are high school graduates, and about forty percent have earned their bachelor’s degrees. These statistics reveal that the population is mostly well-educated. Given that a large portion of the population of the 16th District are either children or elderly, improving education, and providing both healthcare and an income safety net are two of the 16th District’s most significant needs. Both parties share concern over some of the issues within District 16, however, the Democratic Party allocates more resources to fulfill such needs.

David grew up in the Soundview section of the Bronx, which was a middle class neighborhood with mostly Jewish and Italian families.

As for the Sb 1070 implemented by our own Governor Janet Brewer, that was originally enacted to improve our economy, safeguard our neighborhood, and secure our borders was intended to put ease to our state; it caused some turmoil. Though, the success was strong in the sense of securing our border, and making those neighborhoods a little safer to live in, causing some economic downfalls to hit our state; by these entrepreneurs closing shop and move back to Mexico in fear of deportation. Furthermore, it took way for our state revenue, for we no longer had state and federal funds flowing into our coffers for these immigrants being here; instead we were in jeopardy of losing this state and federal funding.

Park Avenue on the Upper East Side of Manhattan is the wealthiest neighborhood in the New York City. Across the river, Park Avenue runs through the South Bronx, home to the poorest congressional district in the United States. Gibney states that while income disparity has always existed in the U.S., it has accelerated sharply over the years. Seven thousand people live in the South Bronx and 40% of the population live in poverty. Most of them lost their jobs during the recession that was caused by bankers on the other side of the river.

Hewlett Packard (HP) decided to produce 1.3-inch disk drives to become the market leader in a new market and increase HP’s revenue. Although the market for 1.3-inch disk drives was still unclear and still developing, HP decided to organize a special team to develop this new product. This group was multi-talented, with the best engineers from every department in the company. The group also had many priorities for the company. However, things didn’t develop as the Kittyhawk team expected. They failed to sell the new product to the customer they planned. Even though some new customers were interested in this

Back in 2012, I started working a full time job on the Upper East Side, commuting from the Bronx to Manhattan every day. Hunter college neighborhood, situated in Manhattan’s upper eastside is quite different from the South Bronx neighborhood. Although both neighborhoods are similar in size and diversity, the socioeconomic composition is very different. The Upper East Side on one hand is famous for being one of the richest neighborhoods in New York. Consisting of the city’s major tourist attraction and numerous businesses, it is a high economic neighborhood.

The most significant of the newly constructed transportation network was the Cross-Bronx Expressway, a road cutting through the heart of the Bronx. To make way for this expansive construction project the city employed eminent domain, displacing upwards of 60,000 local residents. Uprooted residents, mainly impoverished African American and Puerto Rican families without enough resources for better housing winded up in the expansive public and subsidized housing of the South Bronx. Once a safe haven for the upwardly mobile first and second-generation immigrants in the prewar era, the Bronx was not always thought of as one of the nation’s poorest slums. The shifting post war economy took its toll on the once thriving manufacturing businesses

While aniridia remains the predominant phenotype associated with PAX6 mutations, congenital cataract (Azuma et al., 1999; Bremond-Gignac et al., 2010), was also shown to be associated with PAX6 deficiency. PAX6 mutations which are associated with aniridia and congenital cataract have been reported in the Human PAX6 Allelic Variant Database (http://www.hgu.mrc.ac.uk/Softdata/PAX6/). Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness within the United States and are expected to rapidly increase in incidence with an aging population. Military personnel are not exception to the incidence of this disease. Congenital cataracts are visually devastating and considered disqualifying in AR 40-501 Standards of Medical Fitness.
