This area is home to the oldest and largest outdoor market in an urban area in the United States. Given the name of the market, it is obvious that the market began as an enclave of Italian immigrants that opened businesses and provided services for one another. The neighborhood

My ethical framework for environmental issues follows closely with my moral stance on many issues. Most of my ethics surrounding environmental issues are related to fairness and the rights of others. Even this idea is biased because I am basing others' rights on what I believe that they are. I do not believe that the earth is in place merely for our survival. I believe it serves a greater purpose

On January 2, 2006 an accident occurred between an empty horse-drawn carriage and a station wagon in New York City. The accident was caused when the horse suddenly became spooked and darted into traffic. The carriage driver1 was injured and hospitalized. The horse was also injured and then euthanized. This accident has become the fire for animal lovers and activists alike to attempt to ban

Urban landscape juxtapositions can vary greatly in size and impact. They can range from a lack of ramps on sidewalks to houses being far too close to nuclear power plants to the gentrification of neighborhoods. Urban landscapes are filled with juxtapositions everywhere you turn.The urban landscape juxtapositions that I noticed while walking around the city were minor problems found in urban

The above map shows my interpretation of my current community. I define community as the area in which I interact on a daily basis, which includes neighbors, businesses, services, buildings, streets, and the overall environment. My view of community is constantly changing just as landscapes tend to change as well. My idea of community shapes the way I go about my daily activities. I rarely
