Throughout the article Mr. Davidson gives data, facts and specific incidents revolving around displacement of people as the direct outcome of gentrification or urban renewal. His strong argument will not only help my research, it has the potential of being to strong, and might overshadow, or cause my research to be skewed due to his findings. Freeman, Lance. There Goes the 'hood: Views of Gentrification from the Ground Up. Philadelphia, PA: Temple University Press, 2006.
The Evolution of the Commerce Clause Business regulation is one of the most debated features of modern politics. Regulation is commonly known to effect business ability to be competitive in both internal and external markets. The federal government’s ability to regulate business has grown out of the judicial branches’ constant manipulation of the contextual meaning of various elements of the Constitution. The progressive manipulation is a non-debatable fact, but the overall benefits, or consequences is a hotbed for argument. Progressives carrying the belief the importance of a living constitution are pinned up against Originalist who quest to preserve the original founding fathers intentions behind the text of the constitution.
Murray and Ungar Synthesis In the many recent debates about how to approach higher education, one issue that has constantly appears is the question of students benefiting from a liberal arts based education. Some argue that a liberal arts education is helpful in teaching students the basic life skills, others claim that a more specific field of study is necessary in order to b successful in life. In Ungar’s essay “the New Liberal Arts”, he claims that with a liberal arts education, students can benefit tremendously when they receive their jobs. In Murray’s essay “Are Too Many People Going to College”, he proclaims that a liberal arts degree is not highly recommended because the more difficult careers want students to take classes that are more specific to a job. Sanford J. Ungar and Charles Murray both conduct and display their own opinion towards the facts they learned through their own strenuous research.
The analyses of Phillip Lopate’s essay, “Brooklyn the Unknowable,” are notably different in approach and in language, but share some ideas. Both analyses introduce the author and the title of the essay right off the bat. However, the writer of the first analysis goes right into the idea of the essay that sets the tone for the rest of the paper, while the writer of the second analysis brings a relatable tone to the topic before introducing the main thesis. The first analysis is focused on more of the actual content of the paper, “to convince readers that while Brooklynites might first appear to be less sophisticated or interesting than Manhattanites, they are in fact greatly to be admired,” while the second focuses on the style of writing

Lambda Alpha International Lecture The lecture of Lambda Alpha was very interesting and I learned a lot from each of the presenters who talked about the certain areas of developing land and making use of limited space and property. Developing land is more complicated than expected. Not only does a developer have to deal with the government, but also deal with people, politicians, and time and place of the project development. What the three presenters touched most on was the mix use district. These districts are designed to minimize traffic outside of an area and keep it local and in one place so that people can get to commercial areas without having to go far and supposedly have an easier experience of shopping.
I found the author’s chronology out of order and thus, a little confusing. Fash first describes the ruins of the great city before describing the city as it was in its heyday. I think it would be better from an illustrative point of view if he painted the picture of Copan at its zenith and then compared that to the sculptures and ruins we see today. Fash continues with prior and recent investigations on the city and then moves on to the political evolution and my favorite part of the book - The rise of Copan chiefdom. He describes how there were two distinct socio-economic levels in the Copan society and how the “elite” lived in plaster-coated structures in close proximity to the decorated public buildings in the Principal Group, and had access to fine imported goods.
