Paying for the Party: How College Maintains Inequality, is a book constructed on thorough ethnographic research and social science. It primarily targets universities and secondary education – to be specific, how female college students handle the struggles they face in their first years at a major university, as well as the struggles they face when they finally do graduate. Authors Elizabeth Armstrong and Laura Hamilton come to the conclusion that many college campuses are doing an inadequate job of helping their students be successful while in school, and they analyze all of the factors that play a role in their success, or lack thereof. The main concept of the book is that the university essentially enables a party pathway through

Today, I went on a guided tour of the Lloyd Street Synagogue. This synagogue was the first synagogue built in Maryland by the Hebrews in 1845. It is also, the third-oldest synagogue remaining in the country. The Greek Revival style building was designed by architect Robert Cray Long, Jr. In 1861, due the Synagogue had to be expanded by architect William H. Resin due to the growing number of members needing additional space. The original interior and exterior décor was not affected. The building is pink in color. The outside did not have any visible Jewish symbols so the building did not appear as a Jewish structure and was less distinctive. The star of David, the ten commandments, nor Hebrew saying adorned the exterior of the building as it does today.
After the American states drafted the Constitution, there were conflicting ideas concerning how the states should be governed. Some believed that a strong federal government should wield most of the governing powers, but there was another group that opposed a strong federal government. This group, known as the Republicans, believed that the majority of governing powers should reside in state legislatures. Republicans felt that the powers of the federal government should be limited, and the Republicans believed that the Constitution supported this idea.
Underneath countless coffee shops and Whole Foods Markets lies a class struggle between the working class and the affluent new arrivals. In trying to restore low income neighborhoods to suit their middle class needs, gentrifiers end up causing more problems for the poor than they had to start with. For one, the arrival of wealthier residents grabs the attention of businesses, causing the area to grow economically. This economic growth, however, leads to a spike in rent costs and property tax. According to Mark Masson, 47.5% of the rental costs in Erie County are above the affordability threshold as of 2012, a drastic increase from 2000. Conversely, Buffalo has also experienced a rise of homeless and impoverished families. The increase in rent puts a large financial burden on working class families. Unable to pay the rent because of low wages, many working class families are forced to leave their neighborhoods in search of affordable housing. Unfortunately, the neighborhoods they end up moving to face the same problems as their former, pre-gentrified neighborhoods: crime, poverty, and

Overall Texas is a republican party the reason is that the middle class has a higher income and vast majority of Texans have a higher education. Here in the valley we do not experience it as other parts of Texas because we tend to vote or agree more with the Democratic Party. American and Mexican cultures became very prominent in the southern part of Texas. The reason that we have different point of views can be that the border and our traditions has affected us. Most of the people from the valley are poor and do not have any education. For all this reasons we tend to vote more for democratic candidates who offer better opportunities for the poor.
An area that has high annual incomes translates into areas with higher concentration of higher worth house units. For those who do not own their home and are renting, the average rent in Texas is $870. Although Texas is large in size, most of Texas is rural with a few highly dense urban areas. Texas’s population density per square mile is 96.3, while Denton is 13 times denser than the state average with a density of 1,289.91. One of the reasons why rent is higher in Denton and Lewisville could be due to being in an urban city, not more than an hour away from Dallas, the largest urban city in north Texas. All of these factors play a part in the discrepancies between Texas averages in rent, and rent near urban hubs like Lewisville or Denton.
The accuracy is primarily due to Routhier’s extensive use of graphs and statistics, which provide visual depictions of the issues being discussed. The accuracy of this article is further seen through its use of citations, listed at the bottom of the page where each citation is used, for each statistic and graph presented in the article, making the evidence used in the article credible. One source Routhier used comes from the Metropolitan Council on Housing, which was used when discussing the lack of affordable housing available in New York City. The article she used states, “Many neighborhoods that used to be affordable to people of modest means have seen rents skyrocket, and the only reason why most long-time tenants are able to stay in the communities where they set roots is because of our rent-regulation laws” (Metropolitan Council on Housing). This directly connects with Routhier’s argument regarding unaffordable housing. The direct connections display both the credibility and accuracy of the source. While the article’s primary focus is the homeless population in New York City as of the year 2017, it covers a vast number of variables involved. Such variables include individuals, families, those living in shelters, and those who are not living in shelters. Each variable is covered through both Routhier’s written account and visuals, which analyze
Since the early start of the United States, there has always been the Democratic and Republican parties as majority leaders that represented our people’s nation. Due to the questionable leadership of our major parties, a growing trend of independent groups began to develop over the last several years. Many conservative Americans today do not feel that their Republican party is representing what they believe how America’s government should be run. Between fraud, scandals and Republican leaders poorly representing their supporters within the senate and the house of representatives many Americans have lost faith in their party. Since Donald Trump has become our president a growing trend of conservatives working class called the “Populists” party
Managing unrealistic tenant expectations is an unavoidable challenge that every property management teams will eventually face. The reality is that community managers, leasing staff and office personnel are human, and are subject to the same time and space constraints that tenants and other mortals face. While you cannot expect to always agree with a resident’s point of view, it’s important to at least consider the opposing lens.
One may wonder, what indeed makes one successful and what has an effect on our psychological traits? Duckworth in her non-fiction book Grit, attempts to answer this question by making the claim that “grit, talent, and all other psychological traits relevant to success in life are influenced by genes and also by experience.(82)” Duckworth supports her claim through the use of anecdotal stories and referencing studies conducted by researchers. One example Duckworth uses includes the “Flynn Effect,”(83) attributed to Jim Flynn. He analyzed IQ scores and its rapid growth through the decades to explain how it is socially multiplied.
As I go to sleep, I dream of a place where everyone is treated equally and not judged by their race or culture. As I wake up the next morning I tell myself, “Life being treated equally… What is that?” For years racism has been around, When will it ever stop? We the people are tired of seeing innocent black lives on the news being shot up by police officers for looking “suspicious”. If the law does not seem to notice how big of a problem racism is becoming, One suggestion that I would give them is that they should take their time to read “Room For Rent”, By Richie Narvaez. After reading that story, it will give you a better view on how racism is a huge problem. While I was reading this story, it made me more interested to find out if this is really happening or is it just a myth. It makes me wonder if people actually face these ethnicity problems.
