I chose a blog post that deals with culture and ethnicity concerning street food in Istanbul, Turkey. I felt that this blog post not only delved deep into the topic of the authenticity of these foods as cultural expressions of Turkish cuisine, but also the underlying sociological phenomenon that governs the industry. Street food is the ultimate embodiment of ethnicity in that it can be themed to follow a specific country’s cuisine. I saw this firsthand on a visit to New York City, in which I was

They live in abandoned buildings, cardboard boxes, parks, on the streets, or anywhere they can find. Most children on the streets are between the ages of 5 to 18 years old and they are deprived of family care and protection. Unprotected and unsupervised, street children are often targets of death squads, vigilante groups and police brutality. The government has made little effort to
Social lives lived out in and around streets offer to social sciences an insight into modern society. By comparing benefits and losses for different individuals on City Road in Cardiff and Holloway Road in London, this text will show how streets provide a space to transform ways people view their identities. It will be shown that people create communal lives, as well as re-imagine national identities. On the other hand, streets also exemplify separation and inequality, such as an undermining of national

An important finding from this research suggests, “the street youth population is diverse, complex, and heterogeneous”. According to Karabanow, made up of a number of subcultures including hardcore street-entrenched young people, squatters, group home kids, child welfare kids, soft-core twinkles, runaways, throwaways, refugees and immigrants is the generic term ‘street youth’.

The Old Ragged Man On Barton Avenue, walking south one can see how slowly it gets busy at dawn in Barnacle. Vendors open street coffee stands, slide up their rolling doors, sweep their store front and hose down the malodorous fumes from the night before. The same pattern of waking happens on the busiest streets in Barnacle. In convenience stores, owners greet the early birds who buy some snacks before heading to their jobs. People perambulate in front of the main post office on South Barton Avenue

Anderson is analyzing the effect of violence in the social structure of the neighborhoods along Germantown Avenue, and how its effects are visible in the actions of individuals on the street. For one to understand violence it is necessary to understand where violence occurs and, specifically, what in the environment allows violence to occur. Anderson is successfully explaining the transitions of one neighborhood to another, at the same
the questions we ask ourselves about homelessness, and the only way we can help is to know the facts about this lingering subject. The biggest reason people are homeless is simply because of poverty. They just can't afford to have a place to live and food in their mouths. As of 2000, 11.3% of the US population lived in poverty.(1) The number of people in extreme poverty has been increasing since 1999, accounting for 39% of people in poverty, and making less than half the amount of income a person considered
Homeless - The Ignored Community As my friends and I were driving home from the mall the other afternoon, an older, disheveled-looking man was standing on the street corner holding a "I will work for food" sign. "He's just looking for easy money," commented one friend. While this is a possible reason, a more complicated one came to my mind.

shortages of food, clothes, and other rudimentary needs. “I couldn’t do much but worry. There were days when we woke up with not enough food in the house to make a decent meal, and no money to buy more,” (Davis, Hunt, Jenkins, Page; 21). Without money these teenagers end up turning to the streets for aid by selling drugs, stolen cares, and other items. Some even take drugs to find comfort of those many dying around them. “She was fu... ... middle of paper ... ...rouble and off the streets,”(Black
I grew up in a Waterford Michigan in a neighborhood called Waterford Meadows. The neighborhood consisted of middle-working class citizens, almost entirely Caucasian Americans, nuclear family households (domestic unit consisting of parents and their unmarried children), and the men were the breadwinners while the women homemakers. Today Waterford is a growing township; commercial buildings on every corner, new subdivisions, bigger roads, and high class dining restaurants. When I was a child, in the
