The Effects Of Where You Grew Up On Your Future Opportunity, Christopher Josiah Lockwood
Senior Projects Spring 2017
Senior Project submitted to The Division of Social Studies of Bard College.
Neighborhoods effect developing children from several areas. The influence that a community possesses can either bolster socioeconomic status or inhibit it. Some experiments have been done in the US to aid struggling families in disadvantaged neighborhoods that have produced significant results. This purpose of this senior project is to analyze and discuss the varying ways in which neighborhoods can affect its inhabitants (i.e. education, health/nutrition), the experiments aimed to helping poor families, and offer a possible solution to mitigate these issues.
