Critical Thinking Extra Credit.

Youth development is where most of the money should go because if more time and money are put into the youth, they will grow up to be better people. The money should be invested into long-term solutions rather than short-term solutions because short-term solutions fix short-term problems. The irrelevant information was the neighborhood business names such as Dollar General and Hip Hop Chicken and Fish. The relevant information includes the issues that Manor Park struggles with such as white flight, deindustrialization, shrinking populations, and cycles of mass incarceration. Helpful information about where the money is being distributed and how much money the community already has. Money should go towards multiple interventions because if one fails there’s always a backup plan. If the amount of money were to increase each intervention would get the same percentage.

Chapter 13 fieldwork

 In this interview, I asked the interviewee what factors played in the decision, her thoughts on the current immigration laws, and more. She finished college in Peru and decided to move to Florida with her friends. In Florida, she then met her husband and went to Pennsylvania. While in Pennsylvania, she thought she knew English well. Turns out there was a huge language barrier. Throughout the time she was there, her English gradually got better. After staying in Pennsylvania for a while, she moves to Baltimore with her husband. The whole process of migration changed her. She said she had to become independent. Her parents cut her off from everything. She had to find her own job. She was completely on her own. I asked her what she misses the most and she said her family. Now it’s just her, her sister, and her sister’s family here. I also asked what she thinks about the immigration laws and what changes she would make. She said she thinks that the bills and laws in place now are “crazy”. She also wants the laws to be more strict.

Not all immigration stories are the same. Some are gruel and some are easy. I just so happened to hear an easy one.  Typically when I hear an immigration story or something about immigration in the media, it is always gruesome. The family who had to leave the country because of war or jobs is usually what I hear. I was glad to hear a nice, easy story. She also said that some of her friends sadly did not have an easy time in their migration process. It’s crazy how some families have to go through so much for no reason, but some people can simply just get on a plane and leave. This interview gave me more insight into what some people have to go through and just how diverse the world is.

Chapter 10 fieldwork

Karl Marx’s theory was that the working class and capitalism would always create conflict. In this piece of work it is said that “ At first, workers did not sufficiently the real cause of their misery”. That means that as soon as capitalism was introduced, it was immediately disliked. It instantly caused problems just like Karl believed.

Max believed that bureaucracy was the absolute best organization to use. This article goes over its benefits. It also goes over its downsides. Although bureaucracy may be a good thing, not everything is perfect.

Pierre believed that social capital was merely a property attached to the individual. Just like all things. It has its downsides.

Chapter 6 fieldwork

My ancestors are all American-born. I am pure African American. My ancestors date back to when slavery first started in the 1600s. As my 6th great grandfather, West Ford was a slave but said to be George Washington’s son. President Washington left West Ford a parcel of land which is a town named Gum Springs. This town sits 5 miles away from the Mount Vernon Plantation. My grandmother, Judith Saunders-Burton, a local historian, was instrumental in bringing this information to light. All my ancestors are from America so we are America culture. We shaped it.

Chapter 5 fieldwork

White supremacy

White supremacy is the belief that white people are the ultimate superior race. People who believe in this truly believe that they are superior to other races and as they continue to believe in such a ridiculous ideology, there will forever be conflict and racism.  

Phenotype

Phenotype is the physical characteristics of a person. Height, skin color, and hair color are all examples. Due to African american features, their skin color will cause some people to discriminate against them. They can suffer from desperate treatment such as failure to hire, unequal terms and conditions, and unequal access to benefits. 

Red lining 

Red lining is sectioning off a race of people from having equal access to housing and home owner opportunities. There are several cases of red lining that have disproportionately affected black people. Red lining can effect education opportunities, and segregation.

Colonization

Colonization means conquering a place that already has had people in it. People have been colonizing lands for all of history. For example, the 13 colonies. From 1607 to 1776, The British had 13 colonies settled on the Atlantic coast of America. Another example would be when Christopher Columbus first came to America.

Miscegenation

A degrading term for interracial marriage. Interracial marriage has kind of always been frowned upon. It actually used to be completely illegal back in 1661 and was common in multiple states until 1967. Even when becoming legal, people still had their differences.

Jim crow

Jim crow laws were laws applied some time after the civil war to impose segregation. It mainly effected the south. African Americans were denied the right to vote, get jobs, and get an education.If you tried to resist jim crow laws you would be arrested.
