volonce in philadelphia
About this event: I Can, I Will...Step Up, Stop the Violence March


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

Trafficking of Women
About this category: Human Rights


From the passage I've just read it was about female trafficking and how females are promised a better life but when they get to their new distination they are doing labor work like prositution farming work like just being treated like slaves. If one of my family memebers got human traffic I would be devastated and sad, just like cant really believe it would happen to them. This is why I would not make part with Human Trafficking nor Trafficking of Women.

Trafficking of women

I could not believe the things that were posted in that entry.
That is like the next slavery and i don't like that a little bit. Just to think that there are parents that consent to give their children up because of manipulation is just down right crazy. I couldn't imagine something like the happening to someone in my family.

9/11 reflection

Lillian Wicker
9/20/06

9/11 Anniversary
9/11 has impacted my life because when the planes crashed into the twin towers that I’ve never got a chance to see I was mad. A lot of people had died. I’m sorry for the people that had lost family members in the horrible tragic. Until this day every time 9/11 come up people realize that life is no joke and not to take life for granted, that’s why it’s good to live like to the fullest and be all you can be and more.

Looking at Communites


1. Describes the community you looked at.? The community is a desert; don’t really have people living there. It’s cold there. And it’s the windiest continent.


2. What is different about your community and the community you looked at? My community is warm and sometimes cold. Antarctica community is always cold and is windy.


3. What is the same about your community and the community you looked at? The community I looked at is the same like mine because my community gets cold like the other community. This is how our community is the same.




4. What was the most interesting thing about the community you looked at? Why? That it is the coldest continent and the windiest. And is a cold desert. I like this because I never knew that Antarctica was a desert.
