The violence in Philadelphia is bad...very bad...people out of the blue getting hurt and kiling people for no reason. Sometimes there is a reason but there’s no reason for a person to kill another person.
Like my hood if you walk down the street and you don’t live down there u would get jumped are getting ran out the hood. The act of violence in Philadelphia is horrible, we need to be ashamed about how we acing because it’s unneeded.

I realize NYC is 6 times the size of Philadelphia but in 2005 NYC had 4 times as many violent crimes as Philly, but you never hear about NYC being an unsafe place to live. If NYC has 40,000 violent crimes per year and Philly’s has 10,000 violent crimes, in reality which place is more unsafe? I could show you a crime map of NYC, Chicago, DC, and La that would make you never want to step within 1000 miles of those cities.

Crime is everywhere in the cities. Certain sections are where 95% of the crimes take place. Is there spillover into what are seemingly safe neighborhoods? Yes but its exception not the norm. Just like Manhattan is going to be safer than parts of the Bronx/Queens, Center City is going to be safer than West/North Philly

Statistically you're more likely to die in a car crash driving around in suburbia than you are to die as an innocent victim of gun violence in the city.

(You're also much more likely to die on the drive to the airport than you are in the plane. People fear irrational phenomena because they don't feel in control of their lives, not because of actual risk analysis.)

As for Philly's housing values, it's not "worth it" to live anywhere but the exurban fringe of a Sunbelt city (say, Phoenix) if you're doing a strictly economic comparison of housing prices and incomes. But people value intangibles (culture, lifestyles, family). That's why people pay $2,000 a month for apartments the size of boxes in Manhattan. They're not crazy; they're just putting value in other things.

Philadelphia's housing has been historically undervalued when compared to its peers in the Northeast (NY, Boston, DC). Philly's basically playing catch-up now

The summary i read was about migration. It was about how immigrants went to different countries to find work, food, etc. The money the immmigrants earned went to fill hungry bellies, clothe poor children and educate the uneducated.As work, migrant women, they toiled the households of more wealthy fa milies, they soothed the sick and also helped the elderly. They also contributed their technical,professional expertise pay takes and try to make those important whose live s has been taken for granted.

As i read thi article I wondered:

1. How come some countries had money and the others didnt?

2. How come some parts of the migrated countries have money and the othewrs dont?

3. Why didn't the people inwhich the immigrants cleaned their homes, why didn't they pay the immigrants a little extra?

how does labor affect you?
what can we do to stop labor?
why was labpor so bad?

If immigration effect you?
I think immigration does effect you I believe it effect everybody. You don't have to move to a different country you could just move into a different area of your city. So, yes i do believe migration do effect me and everyone else and it is very important.

migiration affects me because of the puerto rican's that own the store on the corner on my block and the jamican's that own the jamican store around the corner.

we i think imagration effects me because now people would do any to get work. people that are imagration don't play they just get there work done and people that's not in immargation they play around to much and then all you going to see is immagrations getting all the good jobs. well that's what i think

How do you know you are getting the whole story? how do you get the whole story? what use can the Internet be?

I want to talk about stoping the violence, we shoud stop putting guns on tv and putting the guns places that kids can go. kids and teens a like can be courieos and look and see what you have...... we do look and find for thing and make a mistake and find something I wasn't suppose to......

All of the issues we talked about today were about violence. There were many violent issues we talked about like when kids have bad additudes and they shot up innocent people. We seen many parents of victims who died in the Colimbine High School Shooting. People also say that music, video games, and tv make peole so violent. Well, the director of the movie was trying to figure out why peolple say that when the president help make some violence in the area when they throw bombs in iraq and kill innocent people.
