Pattillo reports that there is an ongoing adversarial relationship between residents, city officials, and private developers, when it comes to making old rotting neighborhoods fresh and safe again. And all of this comes as a backdrop to the lingering bitterness some old-time residents felt (and still feel) towards "urban renewal" of the 1960s (which many called "urban removal"). Pattillo insists that Chicago is a city where the "gentrification" and "revitalization" of buildings and neighborhoods, in the long run, translates into a "social inequalities." In real life terms, Pattillo asserts, an infusion of economic investment steals poor people's neighborhoods away from them.
But is Richard M. Daley to be blamed for the inequities in this system? Urban redevelopment in every city certainly comes with controversy and pain, and Chicago is no exception. Chicago is trying to upgrade neighborhoods to become that ultimate world class city; and if Daley is held to….

Unemployment was still very high given the return of so many from the war and the immigration levels of all races. The need for gainful employment and equitable housing was contentious among all the races, but was of coarse most heated amongst the newcomers, who had relatively little social and political connections to ensure their employment or housing opportunity.

Within the events of the riot there are several important moments, the beginning of the riot being the foremost. The event was a reflection of the overall feelings of the time and in many ways can be seen as the pinnacle of a tense and diseases social state.

On unday July 27, riot came to Chicago. All morning, groups of whites and blacks had been vying for territory between the 26th and 29th treet beaches. Unofficially segregated, the turf broke along racial lines. A group of black teenagers, who had transgresses into imagined….

hat makes the Man ho ent to Chicago an especially effective culminating story for Eight Men is the way in which it transforms these motifs to generate new and strikingly affirmative meanings" (155). This transformation relates to the manner in which the story's protagonist manages to learn from his series of menial jobs and use this newfound knowledge to his advantage. Moreover, these experiences provide the crucible in which the protagonist's character is forged and he is able to rise above the meanness and pettiness that exemplify his peers. In this regard, Butler reports that, "He is careful to reject the self-defeating strategies used by his co-workers in dealing with the hospital such as the 'sullen silence' (193) adopted by Bill and the pointless violence employed by Brand and Cooke" (155).
Furthermore, the protagonist's series of jobs in the hospital, post office, dishwasher, and insurance salesman for a Negro burial….

The outside of the building has a modern, Chicago-style steel-and-concrete supporting frame. The brickwork and terra-cotta details mark it as being a part of the Prairie style. Its clock tower is one of the most distinguishing features of its structure. "The building was originally built as a food processing company and warehouse, and where the clock now stands there used to be signs that said 'Finer Foods'("Reid, Murdoch & Co. Building," Chicagolist, 2005). The clock tower was originally included as part of a water tower that supplied the sprinkler system in the building for safety purposes.
In 1915 an ocean liner crashed and killed 812 people across the river from the building. Because of its size, the building was used as a temporary hospital and morgue. Because of this some people say that it is haunted, and that you can still hear the shrieks of people dying inside ("Reid, Murdoch….

Chicago Outfit is one of the most well-known organized crime organizations in the United States. Among some of the Chicago Outfits most notorious members are Giacomo "Big Jim" Colosimo, Giovanni "Papa Johnny" Torrio, and Al Capone. The Chicago Outfit holds a seat among the five families in New York City. Despite the continuously evolving nature of the Chicago Outfit, it continues to operate today.
The Chicago Outfit's roots can be traced back to the early 1900s and the mass influx of Italian immigrants to Chicago (Dickson). These immigrants brought with them organized crime behaviors and attitudes from Italy, which included extortion. During this time, criminal organizations were highly specialized and focused on a specific vice. For instance, one gang controlled individual labor unions, another would control gambling, and another would control prostitution (Binder). However, criminal organization specialization stopped when Colosimo seized control. Colosimo ran hundreds of brothels, was involved in vice,….

I think musicals are becoming a lot more popular now, too, and that may be part of the reason it was nominated and won. There are probably a lot more films that are more dramatic, better acted, and even more interesting, but this one won because it was a complete package, and the public and the Acadamy members seemed like they were ready for something new and different to take top honors that year. I'm not saying it's a bad movie, at all, and I agree it should have won, because it looks like a pretty amazing film. However, musicals just aren't my favorite, so it's hard to believe they'd ever win an Acadamy Award. It just seems like something more dramatic, or with more action, special effects, and fine acting is more notable and more suitable to win that award. The same kind of thing can't win every….

Chicago writing Format a) Discuss Black Americans survived
To a large degree, African-Americans were able to survive the Great Depression the way most Americans were able to do so -- by utilizing what forms of federal relief that they could and by sharing what they had and helping one another as much as possible. African-Americans were able to take advantage of some of the Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal programs that were able to create situations of temporary, tenuous forms of revenue such as the Federal riter's Project. The Federal riter's Project was able to create job opportunities for novice and experienced writers, many of whom interviewed people during the Great Depression about several facets of their lives. African-American writers involved in this particular program who were able to go on to literary prominence on a nationwide scale afterwards include Richard right, Zora Neale Hurston, Ralph Ellison, Margaret alker, and….

Taste of Chicago
There is an interesting dichotomy at the heart of Chicago the Musical, which was evinced most recently during the April 17th rendition of this musical at New York City's Ambassador Theater. The work is at once dark and flashy, disturbing yet riveting, amoral and moral. Perhaps it is best characterized as a guilty pleasure, one in which the costumes, dancing, and singing help to justify liking a tale about a pair of jailbirds' desire for fame. This dichotomy is present in nearly every number, dance, and costume selection in the Ambassador Theater's version of this opus.

Perhaps the most recognizable aspect of Chicago that was easily discerned on April 17th was the big band (or big orchestra), 1920's style sounds, scenes, and steps that characterize this work. There is nothing postmodern about any of these elements, which still ring of the 20th century when it was arguably at….

Noise Abatement Program: The O'Hare Noise Compatibility Commission (ONCC) is composed of a number of regional communities and school districts (too many to mention in this research). According to the ONCC 2009 Annual Report noise complaints were "six times higher in 2009 compared to 2008" (www.oharenoise.org). There is an Airport Noise Management System which "collects, analyzes and processes data from…33 noise monitors around O'Hare, FAA radar data, weather data and noise complaints" (ONCC Home Page).

Like other airports, there are certain runways at O'Hare that the airlines are encouraged to use at nighttime -- to reduce noise and disturbance for residents in nearby communities. Beyond receiving and responding to noise complaints, O'Hare's ONCC has approved a sound insulation policy that "targets qualified multi-owner dwellings" (Gilligan, 2009). The ONCC has been installing soundproofing in….

Cooked: Survival by Zip CodeThere is a clear relationship between race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status (SES) and overall health status in Chicago. Minority communities and those of lower SES are more likely to experience poorer health outcomes. This was demonstrated tragically in 1995 during the heatwave that hit the city, when 795 people died, most of them from low-income minority communities.There are a number of factors that contribute to this disparity. Minority communities are more likely to live in poverty and to have less access to quality healthcare. They are also more likely to experience discrimination, which can lead to chronic stress and poor mental health. Low-SES individuals also tend to have less access to healthy food options and safe places to exercise, which can lead to obesity and other chronic health problems.These disparities are unfair and unnecessary, and they take a toll on the entire city. Improving the health of….

Another method of study implemented by the Chicago school was the life history of the criminal. The results of such a study would then again be related to the physical environment in which the criminal and his or her activities were nurtured. In this way criminologists explain the path towards criminal deviancy within a psycho-social paradigm. In other words, the particular psychology of the criminal is related to physical and environmental factors influencing his or her criminal activities.
One of the shortcomings of this school could be an over-emphasis of specific social problems and their influence on crime, without taking into account other possible factors. This may lead to inaccurate results. Regardless of the this, however, the Chicago method remains popular with theorists, as it has provided criminology with guidelines for implementing institutions and remedies for high crime rates in specific areas..

Chicago Fire of 1871 triggered a series of changes (social, political, and technical) which impacted the way buildings are now designed and constructed. Explain!
The Great Chicago Fire generated the first wave of regulations to demand that all buildings be constructed with "fireproof materials such as brick, stone, marble, and limestone. These building materials, much more expensive than wood, are held together by a sticky, strong substance called mortar" that is also fireproof (Schons, "The Chicago Fire of 1871). Although safer, these new materials were more expensive and pushed many poorer people and businesses from the city (as did the increased cost of fire insurance).

hen "the slow and expensive process of rebuilding with fireproof materials began," one of the most popular new materials to use was terra cotta, a mixture of sand and clay. The legendary Palmer House of Chicago was made of terra cotta tiles on the roof and….

" (Seitles, 1996)
Seitles claims that integration has been a success in the fight against racial prejudice and states that: "Social consequences of racial isolation intertwine with grim economic realities for minorities. Due to the lack of interaction between racial groups, African-Americans are unprepared to work and socialize in a white majority society, while conversely, whites are not relating to, working with, or living with blacks. Prospects for African-American children raised in such communities are greatly diminished because of the lack of interaction between blacks and whites. Moreover, minority possibilities for advancement consequently decline from the lower quality of education afforded to them in ghetto schools, precluding them from competing for high-income employment. Although these inequalities are not always directly caused by intentional discrimination, residential racial segregation perpetuates these inequalities. Thus, minorities who live in racially homogeneous communities are faced with disadvantages beyond the present economic and social inequalities associated with….

It was not until July 15 that an actual heat warning was issued by city officials and living as they did in an 'urban heat island', the elderly was the most affected. The urban heat island is caused by the overcrowding and clustering of buildings, parking lots and roads, all of which put together tend to absorb excess heat during the day, and then radiate excess heat during the night. This is the reason why there is less cooling in urban areas in comparison to rural, and in Chicago in 1995, the elderly citizens living in overcrowded urban areas, all alone, would have their windows closed in fear of crime. To add to their problems, these people had no air conditioning, or lacked the resources to operate the one they had, and this resulted in an oven like atmosphere in their houses. One must remember the important fact that….
