Detroit; a city known to the rest of the world as Motown, filled with ambition, love, and hope, but like other cities faces some very important challenges. A Challenge is not just a trouble but it has wider meanings. We generally label only those complexities a challenge which are noteworthy and from which we can overcome. A challenge is a difficulty that bears within an opportunity for development. Another word for a challenge is a word that I like to use which is known as an obstacle. An obstacle as for challenge is something that stands in the way of progress. Detroit faces many challenges in the world today. Some as small as losing historical monuments known as the DIA or challenges as big as going bankrupt. With that being said I will like to focus on three main challenges urban youth, population deficit, and police protection. All the challenges facing this community are important, but the problem that I believe is of superior importance is urban youth. This problem that Detroit is facing, has been affecting its children and students for a long time, and if not resolved could potentially cause greater problems. The high school graduation rate is exceptionally low, compared to other cities and the main reason for this problem in Detroit is the high juvenile crime arrest. This city has a very high percentage of violence, among teens especially. How are teens going to learn, and get a well-rounded education if they are around constant violence? If there is no education in this city, then there will be unemployment. Children need to be raised in a safe environment, in which they are learning the right ways of life and not growing up around such violence. Not only is there violence in communities but also within the schools. Another big issue that Detroit is currently facing is the shrinking population. This is an enormous issue because it affects not only the city but what makes up the city and keeps the city running. For example schools, jobs, businesses, etc. according to NBC news The city’s population plunged by over a quarter of a million between 2000 and 2010,
You do not live in Detroit, you survive here. When the night falls guards go up and when the light comes up guards fall. The two actions of both the lights and the people demonstrate an opposite effect. Each effect explains how the city of Detroit and its occupants handles life’s bitter sweet moments. Living in Detroit has taught me to seek the good in bad situations, realize that everyone has their own greatness, and sometimes the best motivation is self-motivation. In life we all must experience…

In 1879, sixteen-year-old Ford left home for the nearby city of Detroit to work as an apprentice machinist, although he did occasionally return to help on the farm. He remained an apprentice for three years and then returned to Dearborn. During the next few years, Henry divided his time between operating or repairing steam engines, finding occasional work in a Detroit factory, and over-hauling his father's farm implements, as well as lending a reluctant hand with other farm work. Upon his marriage…
research about gun violence and drug crime. It is clear that gangs, guns, drugs and violence are interconnected. When communities assess their gun violence problem, they often uncover a gang violence problem. Communities that recognize the unique challenges associated with reducing gangs and related crime problems, such as gun violence, become safer and healthier, and may be more resilient to future crime threats. Evaluations of gang prevention programs have identified key factors in designing and…

Human therapeutic cloning could play an important role in regenerative medicine…

Working in the criminal justice system, every decision and results must meet the needs of the citizens and the law enforcement in regards to the balancing concern.

In 1892, Ford built his first gasoline buggy in which he sold in 1896 to help fund the construction of a new automobile. Three years later in 1899, Ford was forced to quit despite his promotion to chief engineer because of his hobby outside of work. The loss of his career at Detroit Edison Company did not slow Ford down. Soon after that he started Detroit Automobile Company with the help of some private…
and the members of the Browder v. Gayle lawsuit (Claudette Colvin, Aurelia Browder, Susie McDonald, and Mary Louise Smith) were arrested months before Parks. NAACP organizers believed that Parks was the best candidate for seeing through a court challenge after her arrest for civil disobedience in violating Alabama segregation laws though eventually her case became bogged down in the state courts.[2][3] Parks' act of defiance and the Montgomery Bus Boycott became important symbols of the modern Civil…
