A 2012 New York Times article noted the growing national trend of gated communities: Across the United States, more than 10 million housing units are in gated communities, where access is “secured with walls or fences,” according to 2009 Census Bureau data. Roughly 10 percent of the occupied homes in this country are in gated communities... Between 2001 and 2009, the United States saw a 53 percent growth in occupied housing units nestled in gated communities. Over the past thirty years, residential income segregation has also increased, with more upper-income households located in majority upper-income neighborhoods. Drawing on Kendall’s (2006) study about elite practices of boundary maintenance, explain how residential segregation contributes to class-based inequality.A 2012 New York Times article noted the growing national trend of gated communities: Across the United States, more than 10 million housing units are in gated communities, where access is “secured with walls or fences,” according to 2009 Census Bureau data.

Many observers considered the race riots of the 1960s a negative social phenomenon. However, in a 1967 speech, Martin Luther King Jr. reflected that: Urban riots must now be recognized as durable social phenomena. They may be deplored, but they are there and should be understood. Urban riots are a special form of violence. They are not insurrections. The rioters are not seeking to seize territory or to attain control of institutions. They are mainly intended to shock the white community. They are a distorted form of social protest. The looting which is their principal feature serves many functions. It enables the most enraged and deprived Negro to take hold of consumer goods with the ease the white man does by using his purse. Often the Negro does not even want what he takes; he wants the experience of taking. But most of all, alienated from society and knowing that this society cherishes property above people, he is shocking it by abusing property rights. There are thus elements of emotional catharsis in the violent act. Briefly explain how sociologists define social problems. Then, using MLK’s analysis of race riots as an example, discuss the importance of approaching social problems objectively.
