For example, the minority ruled neighborhood of Boyle Heights in LA was gentrified and the rent jumped by more than 40% since 2016, thus increasing the nationwide social issue of homelessness and further displacing minorities. This action of the State Government intervening by imposing rent caps relates to Keynes theories that this will help the state economically by doing so socially.

We have discussed in class how foreign businesses move into a country that's culturally and politically vastly different and exploit the people there. The protesters are making a stand and voicing their human rights concerns. ]]> 2019-10-15 17:32:45 UTC https://padlet.com/marissa_lopez792/ucec6jocp6hi/wish/398063836 marissa_lopez792 https://padlet.com/marissa_lopez792/ucec6jocp6hi/wish/401093156 This article discusses how the "third pillar" of society is ignored, or rather neglected.

Communities are often ignored, so the pockets of the wealthy overflow.

This appropriation discredits the indigenous peoples work and tradition which relates to the dilution of cultures as globalization spreads. Also the migration of people from this village to the U.S is caused by immense poverty which causes further loss of culture as it is less practice in the younger generations. Often times the market low balls the artist because the people that copy and steal their cultural artwork is sold for less, which further impoverishes the population. ]]> 2019-11-14 23:22:10 UTC https://padlet.com/marissa_lopez792/ucec6jocp6hi/wish/411550553 marissa_lopez792 https://padlet.com/marissa_lopez792/ucec6jocp6hi/wish/415568323 This article relates to the discussion we had in class this week about how race and racial identity is an important factor in peoples daily lives, especially with Americas long history of racism,segregation, and of course slavery that has had long generational ramifcatons that keep black people and minorities far behind in every aspect of life. The people that are effected  by this can't just "get over it" because slavery happened so long ago as one student with a red hat was so eager to comment. That fact of the matter is, is that "Large and persistent racial gaps in housing and employment are a fact of American life... A good deal of this is the long overhang of past discrimination, the legacy of Jim Crow and redlining and urban renewal and the deliberate neglect of communities of color by authorities at all levels of government." Just because white people don't experience this, doesn't mean it doesn't exist, and shouldn't be discredited.    ]]> 2019-11-23 00:05:16 UTC https://padlet.com/marissa_lopez792/ucec6jocp6hi/wish/415568323 marissa_lopez792 https://padlet.com/marissa_lopez792/ucec6jocp6hi/wish/415574459 This article relates to the readings we had this week as well as our discussion on the importance of the U.N and its different purposes. The U.N is needed to shed light on serious humanity issues between countries and within countries, also the fear of the U.N stepping in is what stops some countries from going completely chaotic. A quote from the article states "“If the U.N. doesn’t speak about it, who is going to speak about it?” Mr. Khan [Pakistan's prime minister] said. The intervention is needed so tensions won't be further escalated between India and Pakistan which are both holders of nuclear weapons.]]> 2019-11-23 00:45:43 UTC https://padlet.com/marissa_lopez792/ucec6jocp6hi/wish/415574459
