Villa Miseria is a type of slum or shanty town found in Argentina, especially around large cities like Buenos Aires. In Buenos Aires, the population of these slums doubled in the 1990s to 120,000 residents by 2005. One such slum, Villa 31, was built in the 1930s for families affected by an economic crisis but was later evacuated after a military dictatorship and then repopulated after democracy was restored. Life in the slums is made harsh by the difficult terrain for building and lack of services, creating high crime rates and large trash piles due to inadequate garbage collection. Suggestions to improve conditions include creating affordable public housing units and providing law enforcement, healthcare, and job opportunities. However,

Colombia: Creating peace amid conflict
Today, Colombia has the highest number of displaced people in the world after Sudan.
Millions have been forced to flee their homes during decades of fighting between guerrillas, paramilitaries and the army. The conflict started when small farmers were driven off their land by large landowners, creating support for a guerrilla movement.
Through its Peace is Possible campaign, the Colombian Catholic Church is urging its government to provide victims of the conflict with the right to truth, justice and reparations they need and bring about a peaceful solution to this forgotten crisis.

The document summarizes population and poverty trends in Detroit from 1950 to 2010. It shows that the city's population peaked at 1.85 million in 1950 but declined steadily each decade to just 713,777 in 2010. The poverty rate increased from 18% in 1950 to over 34.5% in 2010, as the city lost over 1.1 million residents and more residents fell below the poverty line.
Of human domestication: economy
The human cultural economy also known as production economy introduced by the Agricultural Revolution 12,000 years ago is inherently unprofitable. Accordingly has always failed. The uninterrupted sequence of wars that accompanied our history is the most obvious result.
Planet of slums powerpoint
More than one billion people now live in slums according to the UN. Slum populations are growing rapidly due to high birth rates and migration. Many cities will have enormously large populations in the next few years. Living in slums means overcrowded housing and risks like child labor, crime, and violence. Health risks are also high due to unsanitary conditions and lack of access to medical care. The author believes conditions in slums will continue to worsen in the coming years due to large populations, limited resources, and corruption.
In Slums There Are No Millionaires
Dhavari is the largest slum in Mumbai, India, located between two major cities. It is home to 600,000 to 1 million people who live in difficult and unsanitary conditions without access to running water or adequate sanitation. The slum started in the 19th century as thousands of migrants moved to Dhavari to work in the cotton textile industry. Living conditions are poor, with gang violence and overcrowding being major issues. However, the slum is also located in prime real estate that city officials want to redevelop with new housing. Suggestions to improve conditions include providing resources like food and water infrastructure as well as implementing law enforcement.
Rio De Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro is home to over 11.7 million people, over 1 million of whom live in slums. There are four main types of slums located in different areas of the city, including favelas built on flat land and illegal subdivisions near highways. Slums first emerged in Rio de Janeiro due to industrialization attracting migrant populations and Brazil's unequal distribution of wealth. Living conditions in the slums are poor, with houses made of non-durable materials that flood easily during rain, a lack of privacy, and difficult transportation. The government could help address this issue by creating jobs, improving education, cleaning up the slums, and building new homes with stronger laws.
Slums
Slums are overcrowded, poverty-stricken areas lacking open spaces and healthy housing. They form due to factors like industrialization, lack of zoning laws, and migration to cities. Slums are characterized by inadequate access to water, sanitation, and other infrastructure along with poor housing quality and overcrowding. Efforts to reduce slums include slum clearance and improvement programs which aim to demolish unsafe structures, widen roads, and provide amenities to improve living conditions for slum residents. Preventing new slum formation requires measures like ensuring affordable housing and maintenance of buildings.
Villa 21
Villa 21 is a type of shanty town or slum known as a "villa miseria" located in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is home to an estimated 300,000 to 500,000 people. Colegio de Buen Consejo is a school established in Villa 21 by Opus Dei to provide education to local youth and help lift residents out of poverty. The school aims to empower students through education so they can pursue university and careers to improve their lives and help their community.

Fabricio moreno-personal experience
Fabricio Moreno describes his personal experience traveling to Mexico with his family when he was 16 years old. They spent a week in Mexico, visiting beaches with rich culture and famous dishes like tacos. On their last day, they visited an amazing natural history museum called Museo de historia natural in Chapultepec. On their first day at the beach, Fabricio and his cousin went to a party at night, which was one of his best experiences because he met a beautiful girl. Mexico has many cultures and customs, and the Mexican people are very friendly towards tourists, with attractions like churches and parks. Fabricio and his family really enjoyed this trip and hope to return again in the future.
Slums In Manilla
Slums in Manila are home to over 4 million people who live in poor conditions due to lack of adequate housing, employment, education, water, sanitation, and health resources. The growth of slums is a result of population growth, decreasing incomes, and lack of government assistance. While the government has created agencies aimed at issues like development planning, transport, and sanitation, it has largely ignored the plight of slum residents. Living conditions in slums are deteriorated and unsanitary, with many families living below the poverty line.
Presentation, Capgemini Executive Club - Copenhagen
The document discusses how business and technology are converging in new ways, with 6 key points:
1) Technology is no longer just the role of the IT department, but should support the business goals of the entire enterprise.
2) There are now four major zones of business technology use: external web and cloud services focused on opportunities, and internal applications and traditional IT focused on operations and cost control.
3) The real challenges are in managing the conflicts between these internal vs. external, cost vs. value oriented approaches to technology.
The overall message is that technology must be used innovatively to create new business models and value in the "white space", rather than just focusing on internal efficiency.

The plan is to have the marketing company distribute locally manufactured handicrafts through their websites to developed markets. This would provide a regular source of export income for craftspeople instead of just monetary donations. The goals are to improve corporate social responsibility efforts, increase traffic to online stores in developing areas, and boost sales for local manufacturers.

Sectionalism Two Ways Of Life V2
This document summarizes the key differences between Northern and Southern society in the period leading up to the Civil War. The North was increasingly urbanized and industrialized, while the South remained primarily rural and based its economy on slave labor and cotton exports. Slavery was central to the Southern way of life both economically and socially, with planters owning many slaves dominating politics. Abolitionism threatened the Southern social order, leading the South to defend the institution of slavery. Geographic and economic differences exacerbated sectional tensions between the North and South that ultimately led to the Civil War.

This document summarizes Michael Harrington's book "The Other America" which brought attention to the persistent problem of poverty in the United States despite overall economic growth after World War II. It described how poverty disproportionately impacted certain groups like inner-city minorities, farmers, migrant workers, and Native Americans. While views of poverty have changed over time, it remains a problem according to the document, with some groups like African Americans still facing higher rates of poverty than others.
United States History Ch. 12 Section 2 Notes
The document discusses the impact of the Great Depression in the United States. It led to widespread unemployment in cities, with many relying on bread lines for food. Rural areas were also deeply affected, with many farmers losing their land and over 1 million becoming tenant farmers between 1930-1934. The Dust Bowl destroyed millions of acres of farmland in the Great Plains, forcing many farmers nicknamed "Okies" to leave their homes in search of work. The Depression had profound social impacts as well, including falling birth rates, family breakdowns, and increased hardships for minorities.

Modern latin america
Britain had economic and political interests in Latin America starting in the 19th century, establishing trade relationships and treaties first with Brazil. Throughout the 20th century, Latin American nations struggled with internal conflicts and unstable governments as the U.S. and other foreign powers increasingly influenced regional economies. By the late 20th century, many countries faced issues like poverty, inequality, corruption, and violence exacerbated by foreign economic interventions.

With the Decline of farming in Iowa, (as seen in my other slides shows,) Iowa has also had rural population decline. While the U.S. has doubled in population since 1950, Iowa has increased much less, dropping from 8 Congressional Districts to 4, because of significant decline all across Iowa's rural areas. Behind it all is the reduction (1953-1995) and elimination of minimum farm Price Floor programs, leading to much lower farm income.
03 Great Depression in Canada
The document summarizes the impact of the 1929 stock market crash and the beginning of the Great Depression in Canada. It describes how Canada's economy was deeply tied to the US and was severely affected by the crash. As the US economy ground to a halt, hundreds of thousands of Canadians lost their jobs with no unemployment assistance. Western Canada, reliant on wheat exports, was hit especially hard as prices plummeted. The government under PM Mackenzie King initially took little action and downplayed the crisis. This led to the election of R.B. Bennett and his Conservatives in 1930, but Bennett also struggled to address widespread unemployment that reached 1/3 of Canadians by 1933.
Modern latin america
The document discusses several topics related to modern Latin America:
1) Latin American countries struggled with unity due to racial divisions and the transfer of power away from kings, which threatened disparity. They also fought over territory, such as wars between the U.S. and Latin American countries and wars within Latin America.
2) Both the U.S. and Latin American countries practiced filibustering to capture land from each other.
3) The document then discusses several individual Latin American countries, including their economic and political struggles and successes.

La Mina, Barcelona. Research, Study & Analysis
The neighborhood of La Mina in Barcelona was created in the late 1960s and early 1970s as a public housing project to relocate residents from shanty towns in the city. Over 2,700 homes were constructed but high population density and lack of social and economic opportunities led to social problems including unemployment, crime, and deterioration of housing and public spaces. While subsequent public interventions attempted to address issues, long-term planning and sufficient resources were often lacking. By the late 20th century, La Mina had become one of the most socially deprived neighborhoods in the Barcelona area.

President Garcia Moreno took control in the 1860s and sought to "civilize" the indigenous population through Catholicism and coercive labor policies to fuel infrastructure projects. While tribute was ended in 1857, indigenous peoples still faced exploitation and loss of autonomy well into the late 19th century as Ecuadorian conservatives pursued economic modernization.

Rural Population Decline in Iowa’s 3rd District.pdf
This document discusses rural population decline in Iowa's 3rd Congressional District since 1950. It shows that rural towns and counties experienced much steeper population declines than urban areas like Des Moines. Several factors contributed to this decline, including the end of price floor programs for farmers in the 1990s and the growth of large concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), which drove small farmers out of business. Restoring diversity and fairness to the agricultural system through policies supporting small family farms could help reverse rural population loss and strengthen rural communities.
Planet of slums
The document discusses the trend of rapid urbanization around the world as rural populations migrate to cities. It notes that over 200 million people have migrated to Chinese cities since 1970 and another 300 million are projected to migrate there. Migration to cities is occurring on every continent. The document also examines the causes of migration, including deregulation of agriculture by the IMF and World Bank that forced rural laborers to cities, and the failure of World Bank policies that abandoned public housing in favor of slum upgrading. It defines slums as overcrowded, informal housing areas lacking basic services and tenure security. The dangers of slums are also outlined, such as increased vulnerability to natural disasters, disease, and pollution due to poor living conditions.

The document discusses the gentrification of the Mission District neighborhood in San Francisco. It provides background on what gentrification is, the history and demographics of the Mission District, and how in recent decades as hipsters and the tech industry moved in, housing prices rose and the Latino population dropped by 20%. This has led to protests against displacement and the idea that gentrification is a form of racism. The conclusion calls for embracing cultural diversity rather than separation through processes like gentrification.

1Q) which were the main causes of great depression?
From the book of history economy I have learnt about the economic situations in America and among them the most devastating was Great Depression. In the year March 1930 when Herbert Hoover was president when the Great Depression started. The main problem was to the farmers who suffered the heavy prices and indebtedness. There was a decline in the economic activity. There was also the crash in stock market, banking crisis also existed and also smooth Hawley tariff came into existence. He proclaimed in that the U.S. Had "passed the most noticeably awful" and contended that the economy would get itself straightened out. The most noticeably bad had started and it endured till the flare-up of World War II in 1939.There are a few reasons for the Great Depression which are generally bantered about. There was no single reason, however a few things conflicted with to get it going. Few noteworthy reasons were a feeble saving money framework because of Federal Reserve Monetary Policy, over creation of merchandise in industry and agribusiness, over spending and blasting credit gurgled, unequal circulation of riches, high duties and war obligations. Political changes 1928 Presidential decisions, Stock Market accident and money related frenzy.
It was noted that The Wall Street Crashed in 1929 was the most devastating crash in the history of the United States. On October 1929 is called “Black Tuesday.” the stock market lost $14 billion, making the loss for that week an astounding $30 billion. It took 23 years for the stock market to hit the high it was at before the crash. It was also published in New York times about the new of stock market crashing.The news of stock market crash spread like a wild fire cause panic, customers rushed to banks for withdrawing money causing disastrous “bank runs”. Many wealth people lost their total wealth and committed suicide. Many companies were shut down and lot of people lost their jobs. It was noted at the peak of depression 1 out of every 4 people were jobless. Between 1930 and 1935 nearly 750,000 farms were lost through bankruptcy or sheriff sales.
People who lost their homes often lived in what were called “Hoovervilles” or shanty towns that were named after President Herbert Hoover. There was also “Hoover Stew” which was the name for food handed out to the poor at soup kitchens. “Hoover Blankets” were the newspapers that were being used to cover people like a blanket. “Hoover Hogs” were jack rabbits that were used for food, and “Hoover Wagons” were broken down cars that were pulled by mules. People who became homeless would ride on railroad cars, because they didn’t had money to travel. It is believed that more than 50,000 people were injured or killed while jumping trains. They traveled together and were called “Hobos”.
The living conditions at that time in United States of America were miserable there was not enough food, shelter or medical care. Many suffe ...
Mexicanos
During the early 20th century, millions of Mexican immigrants came to the US due to violence and lack of opportunities in Mexico. These newer immigrants differed from earlier Mexican immigrants in that they were attracted to agricultural, mining, and railroad jobs that were unskilled and seasonal. As a result, they lived in overcrowded ethnic enclaves with poor sanitation. While initially planning to return to Mexico, limited jobs and education in the US made social mobility unlikely. Racial attitudes and anti-Mexican sentiment led to discrimination and isolation of Mexican immigrants. The Great Depression further worsened conditions, though Mexican immigrants began organizing for labor rights and civil protections.

While the U.S. has doubled in population since 1950, Iowa has increased much less, dropping from 8 Congressional Districts to 4, because of significant decline all across Iowa's rural areas. Behind it all is the reduction (1953-1995) and elimination of minimum farm Price Floor programs, leading to much lower farm income. This led to a second major factor, the severe loss of farms with value-added livestock. This in turn led to a loss of diversity, of the sustainable "livestock crops," pastures, hay and nurse crops like oats.
Ap chapter 24 the new era
The 1920s in America, also known as the "Roaring Twenties", was a time of significant social and cultural change as the country transitioned from a rural to urban society. Traditional values were clashing with new, modern ideals as society embraced freer lifestyles and individualism. The period saw rapid economic growth and mass consumption. However, it was also an era of social tensions around issues like immigration, racial inequality, women's roles, and cultural divides between rural and urban populations.
