In the early nineteenth century, Boston increased in size by filling in the marshy area around where Washington Street is today. The city, concerned about crowding in the already established neighborhoods downtown and on Beacon Hill, decided to develop this area into new residential neighborhoods. The population of Boston had increased dramatically in the first half of the nineteenth century from the large number of immigrants and the steady rise of industry in a port city. Between 1850 and 1875
urban public transportation system for granted. It is used in every aspect of our daily lives: work, education, medical necessities, recreation, etc. It is also important for the transportation of goods and services, which aids the growth and maintenance of our economy.

from place to place, especially using public transportation. One specific use is the light rail that serves in Arizona that combines certain cities including Mesa, Tempe, and Phoenix. Looking at history that has taken place we look at how we have grown and how far we have come to help better advance the light rail. We look at how great it is to include the light rail into cities and how impactful it has been in other cities such as Boston, Massachusetts and Portland, Oregon (Figure 1). I found that
The detriment of air pollution is that it has far reaching consequences and most often is misplaced long distances by the wind. Polluted air shows up in places where you wouldn’t expect or desire it, like in the most remote parts of beloved national parks or barren wilderness. This can be attributed to higher power plant pipes that transport pollutants above a local community contribute to carrying pollutants sometimes thousands of miles away by wind. This can be particularly true in downwind states
“If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life,” said by Marc Anthony. Work takes up a lot of time in your life. Because of that, one of my most important priorities is to find a job where I can enjoy doing it most of the time. Another priority for me is how much I make. I don’t want to have to worry about finances everyday and want to feel content with the amount of a variety of reasons. I choose civil engineer and software developer because the priorities matched.

This is negatively impacting underserved communities within

Throughout history the world has had a constant struggle how much faith is allowed into the public square and the role it plays in government. To some faith and government must be totally separated, to have it partly intertwined with government, and completely integrated with government. Faith plays a part of our lives and in times of crisis it can shape how we response to that crisis. I will look at the three different aspects dealing with this issue and explain which one is the best. The first
Through linkage institutions that connect the people to the government, political parties, interest groups and the media inform and converge with the public to create the most optimal form of democratic authority. When these institutions fail however, the public becomes increasingly indignant towards those with political roles as the combination of broken promises, misconduct and misinformation create mistrust in the constitutional system. American citizens’ deep dissatisfaction with their own government
David Yan Mr. Jack Carter University English II 6 April 2014 Thomas Mun’s Mercantilism Theory and Its Effects on the American Colonies An unmistakable tension fills the air of a small Boston townhouse on a warm summer evening. In every town hall in the American colonies, there are loud grumblings over the recently passed Molasses Act and all its substituents, including the Sugar and Stamp Acts. These acts, descendants of the mercantilist “Navigation Acts” passed by British Parliament in the 1650’s
