My Environment

What is environment? Many people have different definitions for it. My own definition of environment is a place or person that can be in certain conditions that could be seen as good or bad. That’s only depending of how people look at it. For example people that live in areas like Overland Park, Olathe, and other rich areas think that Kansas City, KS its not a safe city for them or other people to live since all they see in the news is about shooting, crimes, gangs and other dangerous things. But they don’t look at how Kansas city KS has improved over the years. To me Kansas city KS is a city that is a good and a bad place to live because I’ve experienced many things that were good and bad in my life. I’ve lived in Kansas City for six years. When I first moved to Kansas City I wanted to go back to Lexington independence, because of the things that they told me about Kansas City and how bad it was. I was one of those people that thought wrong right away without giving Kansas City a try. But when I got to see that Kansas City wasn’t that bad of a city I was happy. While living in Kansas City it never changed my personality at all because I knew from my right and wrong I took decision that may have not been the best but I never changed my personality.
What I like about Kansas City is the diversity that it has. They’re so many ethnicities’ that make this city special. To me it made it special to live in Kansas City because I got to meet new people that I became great friends with. I also got to see many traditions from different ethnicity’s that were awesome to see. I also liked how they still kept their cultural values of life in a city that was dangerous What I didn’t like about Kansas City back then was that there was so much violence because of gangs. Gangs were primarily the cause of making Kansas City a dangerous place to live. What I also didn’t like about Kansas city is the graffiti that houses, stores, schools, etc. had because

    Living in Pittsburgh for the whole eighteen years of my life so far has been an amazing experience all around, especially since I only live fifteen minutes away from downtown. I have so many great memories from when I was growing up. My favorite memory is the when I watched the fireworks for the first time I can remember after the Pirates Game at PNC Park. I couldn’t imagine leaving my city (Pittsburgh) to live anywhere else. I have only been out of Pittsburgh one time, and that was to go to Cincinnati, Ohio. To me, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati are overall very similar. Although they are very similar, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati have many differences as well.…

    Lawrence, Kansas, the city in which I went to college, is roughly 35 square miles, where as Juneau is over 2,500 square miles. We also only have around 30,000 people here, Lawrence had about 90,000 people in it. I miss Lawrence so much, the feeling of being surrounded by like minded people, stores, and restaurants goes unmatched. Here I see very few people. My day to day interactions usually involve the people I work with, and my family. Everyone is very republican and private. Everyone owns a gun and goes to church with it every Sunday. Why they think they need to bring a gun to church is beyond. Back in lawrence I would meet tons of like minded individuals every day. Id wake up and go to my favorite book store, then have coffee with friends, and maybe catch a show that night. Here we have one bookstore, with a very sad selection mostly covering topics such as hunting and fishing. Here they call it game, but I call it lame. Also everybody here is so old. I miss being surrounded by young blood. The median age here is 37, compared to Lawrence which has a median age of 27. People are constantly talking about the weather, everyday it’s cold, I don't understand how a topic like this can be interesting to anyone, it seriously never…

    Is Chicago A Safe Place

    • 565 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Chicago is not one of the best places to live because of the rising crime rate. Recent statistics have shown that more people are leaving the city to move to Indiana because of this. If the crime rate were lower probably people would still stay in Chicago. Al Capone once said “In this town murders a form of entertainment” which means that Chicago has had a long history of crime and the numbers of crime that have taking place in Chicago are still on the rise. Some people might say Chicago is one of the best places to live because it’s a beautiful place to live but Chicago has experienced some of the worst crimes in history. For instance the Jeffery Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy murders happened here. There are good neighborhoods in Chicago and I live on the Northside and crime doesn’t discriminate against anyone. I did have a crime against me was committed and my viewpoint has change on Chicago being a safe place to live.…

    We were new to this city so we knew nothing except for the name of it. Although the city was a little bit smaller than St. Louis, but it was breathtaking. To my surprise the air was fresh, it was like the fresh air in a meadow. The people overall were pretty nice with some even offering to take us to the mechanic when we asked. I really liked this city, but one thing was pretty infuriating, which was that the streets were like a labyrinth. Due to the streets being so complicated, we were out walking around for an hour before we found the mechanic. Once we got to him, he simply took us in his tow truck, towed our car, fixed the car, charged us and we went home.…

    I live in the small town of Scottsville, KY. Everyone knows everyone here, and I like that.

    The city of Chicago is an amazing place for many tourists to come to any time of the year. “Nearly forty million people visit Chicago annually. Along with forty million tourists, Chicago has nearly three million residents who inhabit the streets and sidewalks every morning” (cityofchicago.org, p. 1). Street performers, salespeople, and pedestrians add many distractions to the already unknown area. Also, the streets and mirroring shops on every block cause much confusion to a first time tourist of the city. “Chicago has more than 7,300 restaurants, 552 parks, and 26 miles of lakefront” (cityofchicago.org, p.1). The city of Chicago is an amazing place to visit until one gets lost in the much larger city than Greensburg.…

    Everything is defined by its characteristics. There’s no doubt Chicago is a peculiar city and possesses distinct qualities which makes it recognizable and distinguishable from other cities. It is a place with a great past, and perennially has stood with a noteworthy feature. The city not only exemplifies its distinct feature, but also symbolizes the personality of Chicagoans. The skyscraper, architecture, comedy, arts and music, and scandals are the attributes that make Chicago unique. Correspondingly, there are other defining qualities of Chicago found in the following sources. In “Preface” to The Third Coast, Thomas Dyja writes about the leading persons like Mies van der Rohe with the new hope and love…
