Posted by Vannary Kom in English 3 - Pahomov on Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 11:44 am

This information is also regarding to taxes, finances, jobs, employment, unemployment, programs, and the major changes in the industry.

"Gas Prices Jump 11 Cents Over Holiday Weekend - Philadelphia News, Weather and Sports from WTXF FOX 29." FOX 29 News Philadelphia - Philadelphia News, Weather and Sports from WTXF FOX 29. N.p., 13 Feb. 2013. Web. 22 Feb. 2013. <http://www.myfoxphilly.com/story/21242573/gas-prices-jump-11-cents-over-holiday-weekend>.

Annotations: The gas prices in Philadelphia has always been one of the biggest issues and is still currently is in Philadelphia’s economy. The gas prices has been rising and decreasing over the past few years, but the gas prices today seems to hit many of Philadelphia residents drastically from the increasing of 46 cents per gallon in the last two months of 2013 -- leaving the highest gas price in the four-dollars range. Other than that, the problem in Washington has focused on the supply. According to the Fox Philly news article, “There were more protests over the weekend in front of the White House over building the Keystone oil pipeline from Canada. Environmentalists are concerned about possible spills.” Because of the Keystone oil pipeline from Canada, the environmentalists are concerned about the cause in the increasing gas prices and this may come from the oil spills.
                                 

Rivas, Judy. Interview by Vannary Kom. The Current Status in Philadelphia. 13 February 2013. 

                                                                                           
Interviewed an Economist in Philadelphia named Judy Rivas. I interviewed her over the phone and asked her few questions about the current economy issues in Philadelphia. Judy stated that the economy in Philadelphia and everywhere else in the country is not financially sustainable. Money is the largest impact that has corrupted and turned the economy for its worst. Jobs, (unemployment/employment), healthcare plans, close down businesses, the cost of gases and tolls, school budgets and fundings, social programs has depended on money for its enrichments in the economy.

​1)  Hurdle,Jon “Philadelphia School District Plans to Close Dozens of Schools” Deember, 30 2012

   This source is about Philadelphia closing dozens of schools and the affect that it’ll have. The different details I got from this article was that they’ll be closing 37 campuses by June. Also that with the schools closed, they’ll be combining with other schools that have space. This source talks about how, schools that have room for thousands more students will be combined with other students. Which will be a result of an over populated school.This source is reliable because it states, how this will affect the school district, how this all happened and the amount of money the school districts borrowed.  


2) Wong, Kenneth “Funding Public Schools:Public and Policies” November 12 1999
  This source, the book “Funding Public Schools” described the role of funding the public schools. It also gives information about the cost efficientcy. The different details I got from this book is that”wrong defines how politics has sustained lots of types of rules the affect the resources of the local level etc. I don’t think that this source will be too relicable, because I don’t have the book, and I don’t know much about the book to really analyze and gain information that will further help with this assignment.

3) December 12 2012, “Closings: Do no harm”
 This article is about the district and closing dozens of schools by next fall, and different information that states the reasons.The different details about this is that most schools that are falling apart and need work on are sent to  schools that are concentrated in the poorest neighborhoods.A Another detail is how The District has not adequately explained how the closings will save money. Other districts have found that expected savings are eaten by transition costs. I believe that this source is reliable, because it states, helpful information about the budget cuts and closing down the schools.

4) Masterson, Teresa “Philadelphia School District Plans 3,820 Job Cuts” Friday, June, 2011
  This website is about the funding of the school district and how it’s affecting the descions and the closings of schools. Different facts from this website is that with the current funding cuts the district would have to eliminate 1,260 teaching jobs. It also states that a full day kinndergarten would have to be eliminated. I believe that this site is reliable because it states facts about hwo the the district funding will affect teachers and what the funding will affects.
5)
 This source is Mr.Lehman from Science Leadership Academy, this talks about is outtake on the budget cuts, during his role as a Principal. Information that he talks about is that the main influences are Policy makers and politicians. Biggest cut came from the state government CIty council and Federal level- Change in stimulus funding. Also the biggest problem is  The lack of positions over the several of years, lost several support staff, lost a spanish teach,lost a half a million dollars worth of cuts. I believe that this source is reliable because these questions are answered by someone who has gone through this, which makes it a great source.

City of Philadelphia. Housing. Web. <http://www.phila.gov/topics/housing>
Because it is a government website, the source is not likely to have a large bias or much misinformation. The source can be used to find resources regarding housing in Philadelphia.

This source is from a website that reports any news having to do with the Philadelphia School District and their budget cuts. This article written by Benjamin Herold is stating that since there are such major budget cuts, the school district is planning on closing many schools, 37 to be exact.

This source is from one of Philadelphia’s local news stations. It was written before the 2012-2013 school year, talking about how major the budget cuts for that year were expected to be. There was a 27 million dollar budget cut from the years 2011-2012 and 2012-2013. This is accurate since this website is visited by most Philadelphians and they would make sure to post reliable information.



3) Graham, Kristen. "Budget cuts hit district athletics ."Philly. N.p., 15 Sept 2011. Web. 19 Feb 2013. <http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/school_files/Budget-cuts-hit-middle-school-sports.html>.
This source is from a major news company. They are reporting that because of the budget cuts to the school district, the middle schools are being hit hard. They are getting their right to host sports and clubs taking away because there is no way for them to receive enough money to keep sports and clubs actively running with little money.

This source is from a website that reports any news having to do with the Philadelphia School District and their budget cuts. Beandrea Davos reports that the school district is cutting budgets to the point where the art education is being cut. This is a crucial part of a student’s education though because it gives them downtime from stressful work, which is exactly why it is being cut. It is a belief that art education isn’t important and since the school district is giving little money, it is being cut.

5) Stults, Tim. E-mail Interview. 19 Feb 2013.
This was an interview with the Principal of University City Promise Academy, which is one of tbe 37 Philadelphia public schools scheduled for closing at the end of the 2012-2013 school year. He shared what his point of view on the matter is, as well as what his school is going through with the situation. He is not originally a Philadelphia teach so he did not have much to say about the progression of this problem.

Sung, Kyu-Taik, and Bum Jung Kim. Respect for the Elderly: Implications for Human Service Providers. University Press of America , 2009. Print.

This book extensively talks about the respect for the elderly. With great detail, the topic of respect is broken down and investigated, while sub-topics are created. The book is split up into several parts with each part covering a different perspective. For example, these chapters include people as ends, college students, and then Asian elders as well as other perspectives, but they won’t be useful to the project. It also has a couple definitions of what respect is and how to be respectful.



Rickard, Barbara. "What Is Normal, What Is Acceptable, and Why Do Teenagers Act This Way?." n. page. Web. 16 Feb. 2013. <http://www.eduguide.org/library/viewarticle/1933/>.

This source is very useful as to answering who/what are the main influences to the problem. On the website, there are 7 other reasons for teens’ disrespectful behavior. For each reason, there are full explanations about what they mean, and they also imply a solution for each cause. This source will expand the view on why teens are disrespectful. With that in mind, the future of the teen with each cause is evident. Also, since most of the causes link to their parents, it can help support the thesis that parents and family relationships are the main influence causing it.



Macrae, Fiona, and Paul Sims. "The Spoilt Generation: Parents who fail to exert authority breeding youngsters with no respect for anyone Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1213236/The-spoilt-generation-Youngsters-lack-respect-authority-attacking-parents-police-teachers.html
This source is about teens and younger who have a lack of respect towards authority such as parents, teachers, and police. It shows past the disrespectfulness and into the violent stage. It’s main source is from a psychologist, Dr. Aric Sigman, whose quotes are used to back up the thesis. This is like an indicator that violence is already the current status of the problem. Just like other sources, he claims that parents are the issue that cause this because they’re too lenient and don’t teach them authority. Although, he also blames television for the influence of this behavior.

. "Respect and Disrespect in the Classroom ." Point Loma Nazarene University. N.p.. Web. 18 Feb 2013. <http://www.pointloma.edu/experience/academics/centers-institutes/center-teaching-learning/teaching-tips/respect-and-disrespect-classroom>.
This source is a very detailed article on the respect and disrespect in classrooms. It only focuses on classroom students and the teacher’s behavior, which makes it really effective when adding this to the project because it points out what are respectful and disrespectful behaviors towards the students, which could lead them to despise the teacher and lose any or all respect for them. The author does recognize that the best way for students to respect the teacher is for the teacher to respect them first. It’s a good source because just like other sources talk about teens’ development into an adult, this can justify that it’s effective for their development.


Berman, Adam. Telephone Interview. 14 02 2013.

The telephone interview with Dr. Berman extensively talked about the causes of disrespectful teens and how they develop over time. As other sources talk about the other causes, this interview focuses on one, the family relationship. Dr. Berman firmly believes that something in the family is causing the teen to be disrespectful, but also points out that there are many different definitions of respect. Also, he mentions that it’s not too late to fix this problem, and that the solution is communication.

1. "HIV/AIDS Youth Update." phila.gov. Philadelphia Board of Health, 18 Nov 2010. Web. 15 Feb 2013. <http://www.phila.gov/health/pdfs/111810_BOH_Att_BAACO_Pres.pdf>.

This pdf basically lets us know what AIDS/HIV is like for the younger generation. Focusing on certain ages, 13-24. It lets us know the large amounts within this age range that are affected by the disease in Philadelphia. On top of that, I know we can use this information if we wanted to focus a bit more on the youth for the project. 

2. Kulkarni, Shefali S. . "States Cutting Back On Drug Programs For HIV Patients." Black AIDS Institute. n. page. Web. 15 Feb. 2013. <http://blackaids.org/2011-news/870-states-cutting-back-on-drug-programs-for-hiv-patients>.

I thought this was very important because we know that we need to have some sort of information that is key to understanding the huge effect pay rates in Philadelphia have on those with this disease. Medication is definitely not cheap and getting a job, is harder than ever. People really have to think about what they spend their money on and ways to save when paying for the medication.

3.Interview by Linda Burnette. "Philadelphia Youth Advocate Tackles AIDS Denial." The Body. . . Print. http://www.thebody.com/content/art45890.html.

This website gives us an interview that someone else had with the Executive Director of YO ACAP. A club that is dedicated to helping those in need, focusing on teenagers. The director, Linda Burnette really helps those teens with understanding the effects of AIDS/HIV. 

4. "AIDS among African Americans Main risk factors among African Americans Social and economic context of the African American AIDS epidemic How do African Americans view the epidemic themselves? What is being done to combat HIV in African Americans? The Future." Avert. n. page. Web. 15 Feb. 2013. <http://www.avert.org/hiv-african-americans.htm>.

Unlike most of our sites, this one is more focused on the wide research of African-Americans. This site is all about African-Americans and AIDS/HIV. It focuses on one race in order to help those who need financial advances and those who need it.

Wilkerson, Isabel. The warmth of other suns: The epic story of America's great migration. Random House, 2010.
This book centered around the migration of black from the south to the north during the 1915-1970. The author Isabel Wilkerson does great with the usage of personal accounts for migration during that time period. The book doesn't just explain the reasons why blacks would want to move but allows them to tell their story. For example in the first story it tells about how a women had to say goodbye to her daughter and grandchildren. In the second story it tell us about a man who leaves his small southern town because he broke some rules. Because these stories are different, they add variety to the book. This usage of first person also works well with the book purpose, which is to get the reader to understand the different reason why blacks moved and their motives behind leaving.

As it was stated in the article this incident happens directly in Philadelphia. This view on the violence doesn't just show how race plays a part in violences but also that  the area the violence takes place is a factor. It says “the Elmwood and Paschall neighborhoods had long been a racial battleground”. This was said from the leader of churches that agree that the violence is started because of racial differences.  The article isn't really backed up with facts but really an eye witness account for what happened during that time. This information is useful for getting the just of what it was like in a Philadelphia neighborhood during 1945-1960. Not stating that every area was like this but if racial differences were present then violence was mostly the result. Also mentioning the police force and stating that it was white police enforcement also added to how race played a part in almost every situation like this.

This article was interesting because of not just focusing on Philadelphia, it describes the country as a whole during the World War. It states that “ It is a common phenomenon for domestic hostilities and conflicts to subside and a united front to be created”. This means that even though America has its problem, when something that endangers us all we will come together but to the articles statics, the war didn't do much to stop the violence against the blacks. The lynchs did decrease but after about two years they increased. This article then slowly focuses back to the country and its specific cities that show the most race related crimes. In all this article is useful for getting to know the countries viewpoint on the crimes but what happened during that time.

The Philadelphia negro: A social study. No. 14. Published for the University, 1899.

This book was published by W.E.B Du Bois and was composed while he was in Philadelphia. After reading the first few sections of the book I soon realized what the book was trying to accomplish. In the book he explains to the reader the certain problem the average black person face living in Philadelphia. For example in the book it says “ Here is a large group of people that don't form an integral part of the social society”. He also says “the physical environment of the city” explaining how the houses and sections affect just how the black mind is influenced. This book is great for understanding the mind set of black people from a perspective that focuses on them only.

Roots of violence in Black Philadelphia, 1860-1900. Harvard University Press, 1989.

Centering around the violence of Philadelphia's black people was an interesting topic to write a whole book about. As I read it I sensed a bit of bias toward the blacks but as I continued to read and soon realized there wasn't but just stating how brutal some of the violence committed were. Even mentioning other sources like W.E.B Du bois’s “The Philadelphia Negro” made the source even more reliable because that showed that the author actually did research before just writing this book.

6) Douglas, Sinnea. Telephone Interview. 14 02 2013.
This interview was taken place over the phone with a current college student named Sinnea Douglas. The interview was about violence in the city of Philadelphia and how the violence she has seen relates to race. Sinnea has lived in Philadelphia her whole life and had seen many acts of violence. She has  describes one experience she has seen in philadelphia and described her feeling towards the event. She says she seen people get jump because of race and has seen it done near where she lived.

1. Gavett, Gretchen. "Timeline: 30 Years of AIDS in Black America." PBS. WGBH Educational Foundation, 10 Jul 2012. Web. 12 Feb 2013. <http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/social-issues/endgame-aids-in-black-america/timeline-30-years-of-aids-in-black-america/

- This sources is presented as a timeline to when HIV/AID’s was first discovered, to all the important events that happened since 1981-present day. This is important to the project that we are doing because it gives us exact dates and times of the current events that centered around HIV/AIDS. On thing that stood out to me was that this serious infection started out between gay men and then spread out from there.



2. "AIDS Facts." AIDS Fund n.pag. Web. 11 Feb 2013. <http://www.aidsfundphilly.org/about/facts.php>.

- This source is a fund that helps to fight HIV/AIDS. It gives a the reader different organizations that are apart of this fund. This is useful to our project because it gives us statistics on HIV/AIDS. This is also helpful because it gives a list of organizations that are partners with the Aids Fund Foundation.




3. "STD Health Equity - Rates by Race or Ethnicity." CDC(2011): n.pag. CDC. Web. 12 Feb 2013. <http://www.cdc.gov/std/health-disparities/race.htm>

- From this source I can tell see the different races that are mostly infected with HIV/AIDS. This is essential to the research that we are doing for this project because we can take a lot from this source, we can zoom in on a certain race, or age, if we pleased. One thing that stood out to me was that there was the large amount of African-American women that are infected with the disease over the number of African-American men that have the disease.


9. http://www.avert.org/hiv-african-americans.htm
