Welcome To The South Side Analysis

The New South: an era of change, a time of transition away from the destruction of the Civil War and chaos of Reconstruction. However, while the institution of slavery and a cotton-based economy faded away into the past, feelings of intolerance and inequality resided in the hearts and minds of Southerners, shaping a new society that closely mirrored the old. Blacks and other minorities, such as women, remained in an underclass with strict social and economic rules as the South expanded outside it agrarian roots. William Faulkner captures the preconceived sentiments keeping the Civil War relevant in the South in his novel Light in August. He chronicles the stories of the outcasts Lena Grove and Joe Christmas, both people who break social

Racial prejudice often creates a division between the racists and their victims, and thus results in isolation and alienation of the victimized racial group. During the Harlem Renaissance, discrimination and oppression against African Americans was still prevalent, despite the 1920s being a time of expression of African culture. This juxtaposing concept is analyzed through Claude McKay’s poem “The White City”, which explores the perception of an African American speaker, presumably McKay himself, who longs to be a part of the White City, while retaining a deep, inner hatred of the city. Although McKay initially demonstrates his endearment and attachment toward the city through visual imagery, he directly juxtaposes it by expressing his hatred with tenacious, despicable diction. This juxtaposition not only serves to represent the struggle of being an African American in a white supremacist city but also displays McKay’s paradox of appreciating the “White City” while feeling detached from it.

Washington Heights is a unique and ever changing neighborhood at the mezzo-level, but affects the macro and micro. It located in upper Manhattan that is north of Harlem and south of Inwood. Begins on 115th street, it is typically thought to end around Hillside Avenue. This neighborhood has the Hudson River on the west and the Harlem River to the east. New York City’s Community Planning has designated Washington Heights and Inwood as Manhattan Community District 12. These two communities are similar in their ethnic populations, make up the tip of the borough of Manhattan, and are often assessed by the government as one district. The 2003 New York City Community Health Profile reported that 270,677 people living in District 12 and “one in two

The beliefs of the north and the south differed greatly, as they were on opposite sides of the political spectrum. The south emphasized the power of the state and supported slavery because it was economically convenient, believing that the central government had no right to interfere. The north was against slavery and believed it was inhumane and immoral, considering slaves equal to free men and women. The north was progressive. Since the northern and southern states needed balance, two states were admitted at a time, one free state and one slave state. The balance was difficult, so compromise had to be made

SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. — What started out as a typical meeting of the South Charleston City Council turned into a discussion about the heroin problem in the city and region.

“people around here are willing to help their neighbors, this a close knit neighborhood, people in this neighborhood can be trusted, people in the neighborhood generally don’t get along with each other and people in this neighborhood don’t share the same values” (Sampson et al., 1997, 920).

The Civil war was a turning point in the United States history, it significantly changed southern society. Because most of battles were happened in the Union soil, southern economy be destroyed severely. Most of industries be destroyed, agricultural become the major depends of southern people. Thereby, poor be widespread accompany with racism. In order to maintains white superior in south. Henry W. Grady, an editor of the Atlanta Constitution also be think as the “Spokesman of the New South”, created the “New South” concept

“Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood” was directed and released by Paris Barclay in 1996. “Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood” is an American comedy that tells the story of how Ashtray moved in with his father in the inner city of Los Angeles. Once he is settled in, he is reunited with his pot smoking grandmother and his nuclear armed cousin, Loc Dog. Through this union Ashtray is introduced to different situations that are generally associated to black people. This includes “the man”, gang violence, and police brutality. Though “Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood” is meant to be a comedy it really satires stereotypes placed on

Cobblestone Estates is near Westbrook Park, which includes a few other activities alongside community trails that allows walking, running, or bicycling. These Estates are less than three miles from the closest school district. Also, within that three-mile radius there are several restaurants, parks, and businesses. Since I observed two families spending time together outside, I suspect that block parties and neighborhood parties, bonfires, or cookouts take place! Similarly, Winding Brooks trailer park is about four miles from the same activities and the Central DeWitt School District. Not everyone would like to live in community where everything is within a couple miles. Others enjoy the journey to their location, but the residents in each of these neighborhoods prefer things to be within a couple miles because it is comprised with their personal identity. Personal identity allows changes in life as you go on, this includes the choice of where one may

When reading The South vs. The South I come across the problem that the white Southerners had with the Republican wanting to free slaves. The problem persisted as the war continued. The view of white Southerners and Republicans which were led by the president Lincoln were different.

Our Divided City showed a great example of the Troost wall. The East side of Troost is considered the “bad side”. There were a lot of abandoned houses, trash every where on the streets, and the people did not feel as safe on the East side of Troost. The East side of Troost is also predominately black families. There were some people who were trying to clean up the area and reach out for help to improve their neighborhoods. The West side of Troost though is considered more safe than the East side.

As declared by both Senator James Hammond and Hinton Helper both the North and the South knew about their economic divergence. While the North manufactured almost every item of utility and adornment, the South’s economy was mostly based on agricultural products such as rice and cotton. This vast discrepancy between both sides forced them to develop in a conflicting manner that sooner or later would lead to conflict. For the South, its fertile soil and flawless weather for agriculture had the optimal circumstances for large-scale farms and crops like tobacco and cotton. On the other hand, the North with its abundant natural resources and climate made its economy flourish without the need of hefty plantations that required a lot of workforces.

The final aspect is dilapidation. Buildings in these neighbourhoods tend to be old and poorly (or not at all) maintained. In addition, they are “very dirty and littered as a result of density, the predominance of renters, inferior public services, and a demoralized population” (Stark 1987: 171). Dilapidation becomes a social stigma for residents, as the physical state of their neighbourhood prescribes a particular social status upon them. The stigma of living in such a neighbourhood introduces a set of related problems, including a lack of positive role models, a demoralized population, and lenient law

One of the most popular movies of 2015 was the sports drama Southpaw. The dramatic R-rated movie pulls you in, and makes you fall in love with the characters. Between the magic behind the camera and the actual scenes, Southpaw is a movie that is very well put together. It would be an understatement to say that the actors chosen to play the roles in this film are definitely a good fit. This movie will have you feeling all of the emotions as if you were the character yourself. In my opinion, it is a must see movie.

The need of short blocks is described with the example of Manhattan, where the use of long blocks segregate walking citizens and isolate people socially as well as economically. She argues that frequent streets and short blocks are more valuable since they provide cross-use of the streets. Most shops are dependant on people passing by each day, and short blocks could control the passings and create a diverse and balanced income for them.
