1877-1900: Urban Immigrant And Growing Middle Class :
3 pages in length. The existence of the urban immigrant of
1877-1900 was not particularly well-received by the growing
middle class. 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 be argued that this rift that
developed, which defined the self-imposed status, proved to be
a serious threat to the overall social fabric. 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, despite much
effort on all sides to abolish such prejudicial practices. The
writer discusses that although slavery had all but been wiped
out, there still existed deep-seated resentment toward certain
social classes for all the unnecessary suffering minorities had
been forced to endure throughout history. Bibliography lists 4

Late Nineteenth Century : 3 pages in
length. The urbanization of America during the latter part of the

growth of cities, the complications of new technologies and the
reactions that people had to such significant transformation.
Indeed, for a society to survive, it must be willing to grow.
However, there comes a point when that growth turns into a
detriment more than the asset it was originally intended to be --
such was the case with America's urbanization during the late
nineteenth century. The writer discusses how urbanization
changed America in the late nineteenth century. Bibliography

Environmentally Sustainable Cities / A Contradiction In
Terms : 6 pages in length. There is no question that the notion
of environmentally sustainable cities represents a contradiction
in terms for the simple reason that the very aspect of any sort of
growth will have a detrimental impact upon the environment. In
light of the fact that the world's population continues to explode,
thus requiring more and more room and resources in which to
appease the earth's inhabitants, the environment is facing
continued degradation while much of its wildlife is becoming
threatened. However, there are those who believe that the
notion of environmentally sustainable cities is more than just a
notion; indeed, they contend that modern design will help to
allow mankind and the environment to harmoniously co-exist.
The writer discusses environmentally sustainable cities in
relation to being a contradiction in terms. Bibliography lists 4
