This article is about how we map out places based on their social statuses'. In the poor areas of DC, we choose to focus only on the crimes that are committed in this area. The media would focus only on the blacks that are committing these crimes. The students feel that this is a major problem because white people commit crimes too. One student says that, "As the media ignores the reality of poverty, crime, and delinquency in DC, it will only be delaying solving the problem and allow it to fester." I truly believe that he is right. If we keep focusing only on the negatives in the black regions, negative things will continue to come out of that area. There should be new ways of presenting information about these poor regions that also highlights any of the positive things that come from them.
