Segregation In Neighborhood

Abstract The research conducted in this paper was to prove a point on whether or not the neighborhood you live in makes up for the chances you have in life. I am comparing two parts of Chicago, Garfield Ridge and Englewood. Both have a major diversity within people and I will be talking about the statistics of both neighborhoods and providing proof and evidence on which community provides the most for the upcoming generation. I chose the opposing neighborhood to show that Chicago can be segregated and segregation in Chicago causes kids to lack the knowledge and education they need in order to “survive” if you must say.

Introduction

The way one’s lifestyle that they live today is based on the community they live in. There are
As my personal driving experiences though Englewood, you did not find many major stores out there. A lot of it was small businesses trying to thrive their way in. The way how our economy has been recently and especially 35-40 years ago, areas face either a higher income families or lower incomed families; then you have the homeless people. This recession devastated many people and including their families leaving nothing behind but maybe a couple of bucks and some clothes on their back. “Agents of socialization are the transmitters of culture-the people, organizations, and institutions that help us define our identity and teach us how to thrive in our social world” (Ballantine, Korgen, and Roberts 2015:107). In today’s society, those that live around these neighborhoods tend to shove what people already know they are. You see homeless people standing on every corner when driving around in certain neighborhoods. Ever wondered what happened to them that deserved this? What if they had a home and a job and a car and a disaster took it away
I compared and contrasted the data of household income, housing value, ethnicity or race in these areas. I also researched possibilities on why this might occur. The police in one neighborhood vs the other; I also looked at crime rates and the certain types of crime shown. I also looked in on education. How might it affect ones neighborhood. The economy is shown via stores and buildings; interpreting whether or not stores would even want to build up shop in this neighborhood or not, and the statistics on the economic house value, or income, even race/ethnicity. Pulling all this information from www.city-data.com and photos taken, my interpretations will be shown in my data
