Both of the readings discussed immigration and urbanization of city life. By analyzing the research conducted and results found by sociologists from Theoretical Perspectives on the City we are able to better understand how urban society functions. I agree with Tonnes that rural communities are more closer and more interdependent since every individual’s job contributed to the community. However, even though urban cities are more independent in a way we still depend on each other in order for society to function properly. The black corona reading gave an insight on race and equality and how it is related to power. In adiittion, that reading related poverty to crime in the “black ghetto.” Their reasoning for acting out is to be heard, does that justify crime? This article made me wonder if we will ever be truly equal? Because even today we are still separated by class and the economy. Are we really equal and free or obliviously ruled by the government. I also found the map within that reading useful in visualizing the location. Overall, what actually makes us a community, our similarities or the way we influence each other and function as one society?
