What are the spatial, social and economic factors of each plan? “Wright and Le Corbusier seem predestined for comparison. Their ideal cities confront each other as two opposing variations on the same utopian theme” (Fishman, 163).

In 2011, the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN) conducted the The National School Climate Survey, which aimed to report the prevalence of homophobic and transphobic language in schools across the country. Not surprisingly, the study reported that

the value of the delinquent subculture through participation in gangs. Delinquent subcultures have values that are in opposition to those of the dominant culture. The strain is rooted by low economical conditions, poor parental relations, and low school standards, with no chance of succeeding in the future.

Middle and upper class women learned to read and write, but their education ended there. A woman’s place was said to be in the home, cooking, sewing, and taking care of the children. In the case of upper class women, their “to-do” list was cut even shorter with the servants present to do the work. However, women
