Political community

talks about the societal division of people. This division is often unintentional, such as the making of communities through the real estate market. Buying and selling homes in order to try and get into a new neighborhood with similar ideals or beliefs. On the other hand Brooks describes that people try to be different from others. Such as the different lifestyles of the two very different political parties. We are indeed profoundly different, but is that really such a bad thing. Often in his essay

distracts otherwise productive efforts to fix a neighborhood. In Oakland, public spaces were becoming more and more filled with police presence and reinforced as forbidden areas. Community activists were very concerned with teenagers getting involved with crime in the streets and also contributing to crime. In the process, community members criminalized youth based on ambiguous traits and adults tried to control the way youth used the streets. Jennifer Tilton believes that youth impact social geographies

Community is established locally but community development is a process that includes actors from inside and outside of the community to achieve sustainability. My previous essays have addressed the progression of community development from place-based attachment, organizing and advocacy to addressing the need and effect of government involvement. The final stop on the continuum of the community development is to analyze market-based approaches to community development. This paper will look at

The Evolved Definition of Community The definition provided in The American College Dictionary from 1964 says “a group of men or women leading a common life according to a rule.” I never really viewed community in this manner.

We forget that a community is actually just a group of people with common interests or characteristics who often happen to live near each other. Communities can be bound by race, religion

Watts Community is anomic, According to Kirst-Ashman (2014) anomic refers to a failed community which is dysfunctional and provides little social support.

Directions: Community and Population Health Windshield Survey This assessment is a foundational exercise for you to learn about your environment and explore where you live. Take some time to intentionally explore your county. Look at your county as the home and the place of work for the county residents.

agreement was made for a political body to help stabilize much of Europe. The Community provided external political structure that would provide the means necessary to create a stable economy and develop technologies, but in order to do so there would need to be a collective identity of Europe. As nation-states were trying to redefine their history and assert their independence it became a delicate balance between maintaining their own identity and joining in the Community that would impose new regulation

Communities may be categorized as geopolitical (spatial) or phenomenological (communities of belonging) (Maurer & Smith, 2013). Geopolitical communities are formed by either natural or human-made boundaries. A river, a mountain range, or a valley may create a natural boundary; for example, the Chesapeake Bay separates Maryland into the eastern and western shores.

He opines that, “the settlers” feel they were being labeled as such in order to be further marginalized”. This feeling among the people instigated the debate on the ownership of Jos. Also, the creation of Local Governments and Federal Constituencies by the Babangida administration in a lopsided manner gave “the minority Muslim Hausa/Fulani economic and political advantages over
