Being located at what is considered the heart of Boystown, The Bar is surrounded by other popular bars and clubs as well as restaurants and convenience store that receives heavy traffic. This location, which is also at the intersection of two main streets, allows The Bar to receive many customers that happened upon the business because of the location rather than just those that specifically planned to visit The Bar. Each of the informants mentioned that The Bar was a good fit for the area and that it contributed to the atmosphere that the surrounding businesses set. Nathan stated that he felt that The Bar was not in competition with surrounding businesses. Rather, he expressed that because he and other employees were close with the employees of the other businesses that they almost worked in tandem to provide customers with what they sought rather than against each other. It was also noted that many of the other businesses in the area tend to cater toward men and specific groups – be that age groups or groups based off of

Anti-Semitic pogroms were an ongoing major conflict in Russia, causing thousands of Jews to flee towards America—the land of freedom, inalienable rights, and equal opportunity. In Abraham Cahan’s novella, Yekl:
The class book, Principle of Management, states if a company uses diversity when hiring employees, they can help avoid lawsuits. It further explains, that this is because two thirds of all lawsuits are lost with an average settlement of more than $600,000. It can be very costly for a company to not use diversity when hiring. I do not think that Hooters is discriminating against men, because it is their concept of having the Hooter girls serve the customers. It is their way of marketing their business and everyone who applies their knows they only hire girls as servers.
In 1931, a group of African-American boys were tried and convicted of a crime that none of them had committed. The nine young, black males had been riding the rails looking for work when a fight broke out between them and a group of white boys.

One of the most dangerous and ruthless men to ever walk the streets of Chicago was born on January 17, 1899--Alphonse Gabriel Capone. Living with his mother and father, Teresina and Gabriele, along with his older brothers Vincenzo and Raffaele, his family moved to a poor tenement in the borough of Brooklyn in New York City. Growing up, Capone never exhibited any signs of becoming the master criminal known about today (Biography 1). Al Capone became notorious for holding Chicago in the palm of his hand, controlling the police, judges and the politicians while spreading vice throughout the city. Capone was a promising student, but was expelled from his catholic school at the age of 14 for striking a female teacher, while being disciplined.

Psychology today can tell us that the environment in which we grow up in can have an important impact on a youth’s identity and future. Growing up in not only a state of poverty, but with additional social and economic disadvantages can have an overwhelming negative influence on student’s performance. In major cities across the United States schools that poverty stricken African American students attend are segregated, not in a legal sense, but because of location. Neighborhoods with soaring levels of poverty are limited to the oftentimes overpopulated, underfunded, and understaffed local schools. Creating a culture of multigenerational families isolated in their own poverty.
Now at the halfway point in the semester of INT 201, I have learned many important lessons. I have learned thing about myself to the ways in which others want to be treated. I have learned all of this with regard to community. To be more specific I have learned and been asked to think about the following things: how the community in which I grew up has influenced my character today, the way in which that community is set up for different social interactions, the requirement to tolerance to live in a liberal, pluralistic society, and to acknowledge that we cannot come into a community and judge it and try to change it in the ways we think we will make it better if we do not live it in.
When the narrator was describing the place he lived the first thing he said was “We live in a housing project” (Baldwin 448). He goes on to say that, though it may be newer, it was the same place as where he and Sonny grew up. He tries to explain that even though everything seems to be progressing and getting better it really is not. Those are the same streets that they grew up on and all the same things are happening. The narrator calls them “... the vivid, killing streets of our youth” (Baldwin 447) meaning that just because you clean the place up and make it look nice, it is still the same underneath all of it.

Another aspect is that fighting amongst each gang is fostering a criminal environment. Throughout the book and when Mitchel turned his life around by contact of becoming friends with Elias Batrouney, I related with him, Mitchel. It has encouraged me to take a serious view of my life on what I wanted to do with my life and vocation, starting my apprenticeship in a school environment. Brendon Wild P.3 I enjoyed reading this book as the characters are boys and it is written in an area of controversy.
Because Nick is surrounded by immoral people, he has to remember where he comes from. The geographical division of the mid-west is reflected in Nick’s honesty and
After reading the memoir, Rocket Boys, written by Homer H. Hickam. Jr, one can easily see how the setting of the town, Coalwood, was a prominent character throughout the course of the book. Sonny would not be the man he was today if the action of the story was set in another town or area. “...nearly everything that i knew in Coalwood is gone... Yet I believe for those of us who keep it in our hearts, Coalwood still lives” (Hickam 367)
