The Influence Of Life In A Ghetto
In the modern time, there still exist ghettos and for the racial inequality. The creation of ghettos usually comes resulting from the functioning of stigma and the attempts of constraining and criminalizing the racial group. Even nowadays, when the population changes, the ghetto still remains a ghetto, and they are mostly formed as a result of gang activities and seeking a shield.
At the same time, there is a range of factors influencing the life in a ghetto. First of all, the state has an immense impact in terms of identifying the race and causing segregation with the most important role of police in this case. Police still pay much attention to the race while protecting its citizens. Thus, their presence in the neighborhoods stays increased,
which causes inconvenience to the residents of the respective locations. Respectively, the state contributes to the mechanisms of rationalization.
The second factor exposing influence on the nature of ghettos is the street gangs that are formed because of the space containment and as a response to the intensified presence of police in respective neighborhoods. The residents of the ghetto want to control it so that they create informal groups observing the situation. They are treated as parallel institutions and function for protection from the state power. They form their own rules and principles, such as inverted permeability, that they conform to living in the ghetto.
However, due to a range of reasons, ghettos cannot be left as far as the property there is under-valued and the places are considered unsafe so that people would not like to live there. The places where predominantly white population lives are boosted and sold as the gated communities like in the case of Southern California. While ghettos usually have no actual basis apart from lacking hygiene and the wish to stigmatize, they tend to experience problems with health care and malnutrition, with infrastructure and to suffer from stigmatizing.
