It is amazing how (in many instances) a person’s physical appearance corresponds with the things that can be found in their carts. While observing people, it was easy to see that the profile of a typical grocery store shopper varies depending on the income level of the neighborhood surrounding the store. This essay reports on patrons at store A, where the average home sells for almost one million dollars. On the contrary (and for comparison purposes), store B operates in a very low income neighborhood. Two hours were ...

1. What is eminent domain, what are the debates concerning the use of it?

Eminent domain or the commons is the legal sanction of land for public use. In recent years, the proliferation of policies in support of public-private partnerships (PPP) ascribing new meaning to investment and private developer role in governance has restated the meaning of subsidies and tax revenues as secondary tier investment in the planning, construction and maintenance of public lands and buildings intended for public use. The support for eminent domain is that governance of public lands is intended to serve the public good as infrastructure or citizen resource. Counter arguments claim that disabuse of eminent domain laws is ...

PART 1

1.0 Introduction

Historically, civil engineering is one of the oldest practices in engineering, and still remains the broadest professional field combined with scientific principles. Many early structures, facilities, and transportation aspects were the result of the greatest engineering minds, then branching out into materials science, soil mechanics, waterworks, environment, mechanics and other subgenre fields. However, a particular discipline thriving in one geographical area may not necessarily thrive in another. This explains why sustainable design in the United Kingdom prefers to keep its design sustainability a step ahead for all aspects of civil engineering design (Sherwin, 2012).

Part 1

Community oriented policing services or COPS developed as a response to public fears in the early 1990s of rampant crime and politicians promises to “put 100,000 officers” on the streets at a minimal cost (Roth & Ryan, 2000). At around the same time new research into policing methods began to question the traditional police approach to fighting crime. According to the research, simply putting out more patrols to respond to crimes after they happen was not enough to substantially decrease crime. Instead, the research argued police needed to attack the underlying issues that facilitate the occurrence of crime (Roth ...

Analyses of Gang Laws Impact Gangs' Membership in Los Angeles

Introduction

Since its emergence in the 1950s, the field of community development has emphasized resident participation in decision-making and leadership. From a normative perspective, resident participation is an end in itself.

Most rural communities in the United States do not have the chance to enjoy most of the recreational as well as employment opportunities that their counterparts (urban dwellers) enjoy. One of the factors that have led to this disparity is the lack of such facilities ...

Instead of coming up with the appropriate topic as the teacher, I felt that it was best to select a topic by first understanding what the children’s interests were, and this would be through an assessment of their conversations, drawings, observations, questions and parental reports. Most of the children were interested in pets that they had at home, and a majority of the pets that interested them were dogs. Their conversations and drawings revolved around their pets. I realized that this would be a relevant topic for investigation because it would focus on the following vital aspects of children growth and ...
