Circle of concern and Influence

 the circle of  concern- in this case would represent her idea of  creating jobs, bettering the environment, and making outsiders look at this community as if it is equal to their own. Her past, and other opinions can not be changed. Robert "moses" road ways. The way her race have effected her life experiences. Can not control other people's reactions. 
the circle of influence-   in this case it would involve the fact that she is apart of this community, she has experience the violence, hate, and disrespect of this community. She no longer wants to experience walking down the street in a toxic neighborhood. This has fueled her to take action, and get involved 

Class notes 1/26/12

 Talking to  bring awareness to the people about the un level balance of  nature, and commercial pollution 

 She found a  tiny street end that had been over taken by trash, and liter. Over taking the view of the river.

1/4  have asthma

- showing that the under privileged  have common ground with the upper class, but it is the living condition in which they are set apart. It is the living conditions that condone  the behavior that it is turning out. It is the fact that  no one is willing to help, but willing to make it worse ( adding highways, chemical plants, etc.)

- She  wanted to change this, did so by creating a green movement " Green the Ghetto"

- green roofs

-creating solutions, and jobs 

no community should have more burdens than good things.

    Its easy to fly threw life only caring about how events or actions affect yourself. These actions or events maybe a stimulus for a certain type of response. A response that may have been different if  you stop and take into consideration the others around you. Its easy to get angry when someone cuts you off in rush hour traffic, but they too are in a hurry. This other person maybe in a hurry for something a little more important, such as an emergency. Its hard to go through day to day situations tip toeing around others, but its not tip toeing. All you have to do is treat others the same way you would want to be treated, don't over react, and take a second to think before you act.
