According to a Wall Street Journal article‚ Africa’s elephant population dropped more than 30% from 2007 to 2014 due to poaching and trophy hunting (Anderson).

As I was driving on the 405 freeway on my way home with my father in the passenger seat‚ I decided to turn on the radio. I tuned the radio to the local news broadcast. On the radio‚ there was a story about a muslim captain in the U.S army. This seemed a little unusual because you don’t hear about muslims in a good light from the media most of the time. As my father and I were listening to the broadcast‚ we found out that the muslim captain had sacrificed himself for his squadron. Captain Humayun

Latino neighborhoods have increased by 232% from 1980 to 2010 (Onesimo Sandoval & Jennings‚ 2012). Residential segregation‚ which I define as the Latino and White spatial segregation by income for this paper‚ is an important concept to consider when creating health policies that are meant to ensure equal health outcomes among society as a whole.
