Rapid Urbanization And Violent Conflicts

The author argued that geography is another determinant for why riots to occur in particular places. These outburst riots had occurred in the distinct areas of the city, called a flash point, according to Slater’s article (2011). The distinct geographical areas experienced large-scale violence, looting, and arson, cited in Slater, 2011, p. 3. Many accused defendants live in the most deprived neighborhoods in England, close to these flashpoints (as cited in Slater, 2011, p. 3). Research by Tom Slater (2011) supports (p. 3) that forty-percent of the defendants live in the ten-percent most deprived neighborhoods. The author discovered that two-thirds of these areas grew a higher poverty rate in the last four years, using research by Slater (2011).

Culture in urban communities, also referred to as inner-cities, are growing increasingly violent. In the article, The Code of the Streets by Elijah Anderson, he begins to take an in-depth look at the root of the evil. He deduces that economic factors, parenting and the troublesome environments largely influence the violent norms within this culture.

Urbanization is inevitable, whether we want it or not. Opposers are constantly bickering about the political and moral consequences of gentrification. This topic is indeed mind boggling and complex. However, there is a need to observe this multi-faceted phenomenon in a different angle. Change is the force of diversity, safety and

Immigrant violence is on the rise, in America, it is at an all-time high. “nearly 10000 people have died in Mexico in drug-related violence.” Per an opinion was written in www.collgiatetimes.com on 01/19/2017. “understandably, we do have to worry about countries like Afghanistan and Pakistan, but the violence in Mexico is serious.

In the first part of the article Major Brown discuss development in the world were people constantly are moving into cities. Major Brown explains that the growth of cities and megacities in general will happen in their slums, and that future conflicts will take place were

Do you live in or ever heard about an area where there's gang violence, turf wars, shoot outs, and drug dealing? Well you can compare that modern day violence to some of the violent history of America. In this essay I will compare the troubling senseless violence of America today to the violence during America's westward expansion, and the war of 1812,

The way that the modern world works is to encourage people to no longer be silent on issues, but to take action. This call to action also breeds anger and hatred in the hearts of those whom the issues affect. Society, as a result of this anger brewing, has taken a turn for the worst. Demonstrations that start out as “peaceful” have started to become more and more violent. For instance, the Dallas Police Shooting, is an example of hatred overtaking peace.

People who are constantly victim to gang-related violence in their own country look outward towards a more peaceful state where they can escape their catastrophic fate. And while it is true that there are some ill intentioned people who also cross the border within the group of those trying to escape attacks at home, most of the immigrants that travel come to the United States with ambitions of creating a safe environment for their families. Another study conducted by the same organization discovered that Hondurans were overwhelmingly cognizant of the security America has instituted in order to keep out the illegal immigrants, the higher rates of expulsion, and the risks of illicitly traveling to the United States (Hiskey et al.). Many people are aware that their migration northward could cause the same fatality that they were seeking to escape. They also Additionally, they know about the possibility of rejection by the United States when they do cross the border, yet they are willing to battle against all odds due to the sliver of hope they see in potentially having bright futures for themselves and their families. Those who have successfully combated the overwhelming odds set against them, should not be ripped of their dream of creating a stable and safe environment for themselves.

Immigrant’s criminal behavior is likely to change once immigrants leave their country of origin and get into a foreign country either illegally or legally. This is based on the recognition that that diverse migrant individuals are likely to have modifications in all of the constituents of life,( Nielsen and Martinez, 2011). Immigrants would have the fear of being deported back to their country’s’ of origin especially if their country’s’ are not stable politically are wars are being experienced, If they have a chance of making a decent living in the foreign country. If they are illegal immigrants they would fear the legal proceedings hence they have to lie low and keep away from the authorities. Assuming the migrants had much poorer legal labor market chances in their native country, whether attributed to their unemployment rates or their wages were lower, this would intensify the possibility of criminal behavior of immigrants compared to the natives, (Machin and Meghir 2004). If they are coming from desperate backgrounds and they need their lives to change.

Another issue surrounding tensions in the legal system stemmed from the cities and suburbs, where there was an explosion of violent crime

As cities urbanize there is a flowing system of uncertainty and mobility limiting practices. A system where, where people “belong” at any given time is fluid and ever changing or completely static. For members of lower socioeconomic class this mobility or static state is progressive and out of their control. This lack of control over their home results in displacement and ethnic enclaves. People higher on the socioeconomic ladder choose to leave their old homes and force people lower on the socioeconomic ladder to leave theirs to cluster in one area. A city can be a cluster and seen as undesirable one year then a trend is sparked and that city suddenly becomes to new frontier. Many factors play a role in why this fluidity or static state is

Gentrification has been a controversial issue both in urban planning and politics primarily due to the displacement of poor people by the rich folks (Shaw & Hagemans, 2015). Many individuals have viewed gentrification as an illegal act that should be avoided at all costs. On the other hand, another group of people believe that gentrification is the way forward to promoting growth and development. With such contrasting ideas, this paper is going to take a look at gentrification from a positive and negative perspective, its effects, and how it can be prevented or contained. Apart from this, the paper will also address the following questions.

Murder in the city occurs due to different reasons, and there is an interconnection of various factors that motivate individuals to commit crimes. Key factors for this phenomenon are social, economic, and political. Murder in the city can be analyzed or investigated from sociological approach since those who commit the crimes have to undergo a decision-making process for them to identify who to commit their heinous crime or whether they are justified to do.

What is an urban revolution? Why is it important for cities to have one? What are that factors that cause these revolutions? In the articles The Urban Revolution by V.Gordon Childe, The Right to The City by David Harvey and lastly, What Type of Public Transit for What Type of Public? by Kafui A. Attoh, displays the different ways the residents in a city react to the social inequality and human rights.

The process of people moving into cities, which is called urbanisation, was happening around the world in past decades. It causes cities to have more labourers and resources than before. This makes a big contribution to the social development of cities. Thanks to these social developments, public services are becoming better in these areas. Citizens can enjoy a better life by access these public services such as better medical care, more education resources and well-built transport. It means an equitable society can be created. An equitable society means citizens can have more opportunities to access social resources and to live a better life. This essay will argue that
