Do You Think That The Changes Brought to This East-End of London Will be Beneficial? Personally, I do think that the changes that the London 2012 Olympics have made to the area were beneficial, as the area used to be a slum, filled with travellers and below standard housing. The 2012 Olympics bought clean, high-quality housing and tourism to the area. The park was turned into an area, after the games, where families could go, and use the velodrome for cycling, or just walk through the vast area. Not all of this was good, though as all residents who used to live on the land were legally evicted, but were offered compensation and alternative housing.

He also took a stand on clergy not elders being the only one to lay hands on in ordaining other men into the ministry.
Autobiographical Diversity Paper 1. Environment: I grew up in El Dorado, a midsize town in south central Kansas about 30 miles from Wichita. I used to refer to El Dorado as a small town until I came to Kansas State and met many other Kansans who were from towns with 500 or 1,000 people. That made El Dorado, with a population of 13,000, seem pretty big so I call it a midsize town now. Although it has 13,000 people, it still has a small town feel because it seems like everybody knows everybody.
EFFECTS OF THE RAILROAD The railroads were not established, but St. Louis, Missouri grew a lot after the railroads had came to the west, and also after building of the Eads Bridge over Mississippi in 1837’. Chicago had also grown from a small town to a big metropolis in such a short time period which was due to the railroads. Nearly all cities in the west of Mississippi, such as Kansas City, Dallas, and many others were the result of at least partially the growth of the railroads. In such a short time the railroads establishment and also new cites lowered the transportation costs of goods and also provided a catalyst for the movement away from jack of all trade small business which was towards specialized industries and also large businesses.
As the school day ended one Friday in February, we arrived at church the following Sunday only to be questioned of our knowledge. Sitting next to Parm, our pastor asked us a few questions because we were the oldest two children of the choir. “Who is Martin Luther King, Jr.?” We could answer that question without hesitation. “Who is Rosa Parks?” We could also answer that question easily. “Who is Shirley Chisholm?” We hesitated, but answered correctly.
The purpose of this essay is to compare and contrast the differences between these two towns using population, crime rates, average house price and transport links. The most notable difference between the two towns is their population. Swindon used to be a small village, and until the mid-19th century only had a population of just over 1000. In 1841 The Great Western Railway then built an engine establishment, making Swindon in to a railway town and in turn attracting people to live there for the work prospects, and by the turn of the century Swindon was an industrial town with a population of 45,000. Swindon has continued to grow in recent years, building new housing and industrial estates, to a point now where the current population is now 157,000 (www.Swindonweb.com NDA).
