Robert Harney's "Little Italies In North America": Italians In Toronto And New York
[ send me this essay ]
9 pages in length. The existence of the urban immigrant was not particularly well received by North America's growing middle class at the turn of the century. The gulf that existed between the two groups was primarily born from a sense of ethnic privilege that had been established early on. It can readily be argued that this developing rift, which defined the self-imposed status, proved to be a serious threat to the overall social fabric of Canada and the United States. For nearly as long as man has existed, social intolerance has been driving a wedge between groups of people whose ambition is the same: to better their existence through upward social movement. This attitude has been carried down through the centuries in spite of much effort on all sides to abolish such prejudicial practices. While New York eventually grew to somewhat embrace its growing Italian population, Toronto was not as amenable as its neighbor, which is visible in the cultural divide illustrated by Robert F. Harney's Little Italies in North America. No additional sources cited.

Schools / Urban vs. Suburban
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page argument in which the writer posits that the reason many people are not satisfied with urban schools is evidently resulting from the reasons that people are not satisfied with urban areas in general. As Americans have shifted so abruptly to the suburbs, the nation's cities have been left to fall apart and so has everything in them- including their schools. And when education is poor, the remaining affluent pack up and leave the city as well; creating a cycle of cause and effect. Now that there is so little left in inner-cities, urban schools are not able to offer the attractive services that suburban schools are. Statistics and case examples are analyzed to support points made. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
