I live at 383 East, 143rd street and my zip code is 10454. It is an area in which Latinos are the main population. This area is called Mott Haven in which there are many public housing projects. I live in one of the housing project in which my neighbors I can see they are mainly Hispanics and Blacks. Around my specific zip code area, there are different neighborhoods. In addition, even though these neighbourhood are very close to each other, there are still a lot of differences between them. I will focus on the varieties of people’s races that inhabit certain areas of the zip code 10454 and how certain areas have more schools while other areas have more businesses.
Community leaders are attuned to demographic composition regarding male-female ratios, racial and ethnic makeup, age, employment and unemployment rates, and academic achievement to determine community assets and wants. Growing Latino diversity among various communities also has to be taken into account. Increases in Latino population can pose both possibilities and challenges. For rural America, especially areas with more elderly residents, new Latino members of the community can contribute toward enhancing the workforce and thereby reverse previous negative demographic trends. On the other hand, such a community may not have sufficient infrastructure to offer needed human services like Spanish-speakers and translation

America’s automobile corporations aim to satisfy the luxury, desire, and needs of the American consumers. They can accomplish this by demonstrating American traits resembling those of the typical American spirit or with relations to the concept of the frontier. In order to do this, an advertisement published by The Courtesy Way Auto dealership in Phoenix Arizona, showcased a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado LTZ. The advertisement illustrates a trail surrounded by green pine trees, bushes, rocks, grasses that convey the wilderness in the image. In the distance there is a humbled rustic cabin lying at the peak of hill. Centered between two large rocks, stands the red and chrome pick-up truck. Right above the product is the words “2014 Chevrolet Silverado”,

At a first glance, the two proposals presented appear very different; however, they are similar in a variety of ways. For instance, the pair's main objective is to raise money for the local library. Hence, why they are fundraisers. Furthermore, the two of these proposals depend on volunteer work. In other words, neither have to lose money acquired to pay for the work being done.

While gaining support from the general public can be stimulated by countless political figures, the greatest influencer in politics continues to be money. Campaign spending is a strong determinant in voting outcomes, further denoting its overwhelming importance. Funding and spending gain importance relative to the size of the campaign; gaining support for this bill would likely cost a significant amount, as support is needed across the state. Campaigning at this capacity requires advertisements, commercials, appearances, and possibly travel, all of which demand significant funding. However, the nature of this campaign lends itself well to considerable funding, as “organizational contributors tend to support issues in the area of... tax and revenue policy” (Braunstein, 2004, 124). This unwavering support from countless contributors will provide the state legislators an opportunity to broadcast their campaign and positively market Senate Bill 325.

There is presently much controversy regarding race and whether or not it still represents a motive for discrimination in the contemporary society. Even though conditions have advanced greatly in the Californian Brentwood community when concerning race issues, one is still likely to feel the tension arising as a result of discrimination on account of color in particular groups. While white people represent the largest part of Brentwood's public, other races have experienced a notable increase in members during the recent years, making it possible for most of the city to host a multicultural environment. The fact that Brentwood is a racially diverse city provides locals with understanding regarding individuals belonging to other races and with a general environment where race is one of the principal motives for which crimes happen.
