The importance of metropolitan areas for immigrants recurrs often. Klewinski states that most immigrants regardless of their national origin usually select city life.

Critical Review of Readings

In the readings of the various books assigned to the course. It is evident that there are several central arguments, and themes. The authors of the readings assigned vary in methodology and sources. This essay will attempt to briefly dissect the various issues that I encountered as interesting with the readings. It will not cover the readings in it’s entirety as this would take much more than just four pages.

A website created as a project for Urban Sociology site. I keep it here for archival purposes, so don’t laugh at the 1995′ish looking status. It’s most definitely missing an “under construction” graphic. LOL. (And yes, those graphics WERE made with GIMP)

  • Eclipse's MenuBar Sucks March 8, 2012
    I have to say it... and there. It's not the lack or plurality of items. It is the fact that when I click it and move the mouse the entire window becomes a floating window instead of a fully expanded window. While going for the time, I end up moving my IDE to the next desktop: very annoying. […]
