one of the biggest problems today. As we look back, a considerable measure of our history is based on racial discrimination, hatred, and African Americans being treated as slaves. The Shadow of Hate revolves around a history of intolerance in America, and how the origins of race affected American people. The Shadow of Hate was an eye opener as it shows how the native Americans, Japanese Americans, African Americans, Jews, and Hispanics were treated back in the days.

The government used the local taxes to build up churches and supported schools. One of the most powerful religious leaders at that time called John Winthrop even stated that “the Massachusetts Bay Colony must become ‘city on a hill’.”(study.com). Because of the

consequences of the financing approach. Is that financing approach appropriate for the type of good involved? In the case involving the City of Boston and its residents, various types of goods exist. The primary resource that is being debated in this case study is water. In this instance, water is both a public and private good. It is public when the City of Boston provides it and private when it is dispensed by a private well. Therefore, in this situation, water has many different characteristics as

representation or metaphor of Boston as a whole. Boston has for centuries been a center of learning and culture, and Copley is surrounded today by the Boston Public Library, numerous churches, and influential businesses. Boston is a junction between the old and the new, and Copley sports differing ages of architecture varying from the Hancock tower to the Old South Church.
