Socioeconomic Structure In Los Angeles As A Stimulus For The 1992 Riots
[ send me this report ]
A 9 page research paper on social conditions which caused the eruption of the 1992 Los Angeles Riots. The writer posits that the Rodney King verdict was merely a final stimulus ('the straw that broke the camel's back') for the ensuing violence but that various other social, economic, cultural, and demographic factors contributed to it as well. Conflict, race relations, and immigration to South Central Los Angeles are of particular importance in this insightful sociopolitical analysis. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Recycling Cities' Industrial Areas
[ send me this report ]
A 5 page paper discussing decay in downtown Detroit, the
renovation of the L&N Railroad terminal in Knoxville, Tennessee and the conversion of tobacco
warehouses in Durham, North Carolina to a pedestrian shopping mall. These beautiful old
buildings that have been sitting vacant for decades can have a positive effect on the areas around
them. Narrow, twisting streets may not be conducive to using them again as industrial sites, but
there are higher and better uses available. Whether used for shops, restaurants, offices,
apartments or a combination, cities' old industrial areas can become vital once again, and in ways
never originally intended. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Environmentally Sustainable Cities: A Contradiction In Terms
[ send me this report ]
6 pages in length. There is no question that the notion of environmentally sustainable cities represents a contradiction in terms for the simple reason that the very aspect of any sort of growth will have a detrimental impact upon the environment. In light of the fact that the world's population continues to explode, thus requiring more and more room and resources in which to appease the earth's inhabitants, the environment is facing continued degradation while much of its wildlife is becoming threatened. However, there are those who believe that the notion of environmentally sustainable cities is more than just a notion; indeed, they contend that modern design will help to allow mankind and the environment to harmoniously co-exist. The writer discusses environmentally sustainable cities in relation to being a contradiction in terms. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

New York City / Media Visual Imagery
[ send me this report ]
20 pages in length. The media image of New York City is one that is both intriguing and dishonest; nowhere else are there more accounts of stereotypical imagery than is portrayed within the Big Apple. A number of various entities have worked together though the decades to create the larger than life image of New York City the world has come to adopt; art, photography and film represent a significant part of that influence. When one contemplates the visual imagery of New York City as it relates to the media, one does not have to think long before a predisposed illustration comes to mind. Not unlike other victims of media influence, New York City is perceived as a twisted Mecca of entertainment, violence, self-centeredness, insanity and raw indifference. The writer discusses the various aspects of media visual imagery as it relates to New York City. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

1877-1900: Urban Immigrant And Growing Middle Class
[ send me this report ]
3 pages in length. The existence of the urban immigrant of 1877-1900 was not particularly well-received by the growing middle class. The gulf that existed between the two groups was primarily born from a sense of ethnic privilege that had been established early on. It can be argued that this rift that developed, which defined the self-imposed status, proved to be a serious threat to the overall social fabric. For nearly as long as man has existed, social intolerance has been driving a wedge between groups of people whose ambition is the same: to better their existence through upward social movement. This attitude has been carried down through the centuries, despite much effort on all sides to abolish such prejudicial practices. The writer discusses that although slavery had all but been wiped out, there still existed deep-seated resentment toward certain social classes for all the unnecessary suffering minorities had been forced to endure throughout history. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
