This document discusses three topics related to urbanization in New York City: Central Park, Boss Tweed, and the Brooklyn Bridge. Central Park was envisioned as a democratic public space for all New Yorkers to escape to. Boss Tweed headed the corrupt Tammany political machine and embezzled over $50 million for city projects through kickbacks and fraud before being brought down by cartoonist Thomas Nast. The Brooklyn Bridge took 14 years to complete at double the estimated cost and 5,000 workers, and represented New York's expansion and merger of steel and industry.

However, the professor notes that the weight of the glass did not change. He asks what caused the pain, and a student responds that he should put the glass down. The professor explains that life's problems are like the glass - they seem manageable at first but can paralyze us if dwelled on for too long. It
