This article in the Washington Post, talks about the broken windows theory and depending on what race you are then it depends on how you view the theory. They did a couple of studies around this theory and what they found was very interesting. Depending on your race, you viewed certain situations differently. They took surveys, home videos, phone interviews to gather all of their information. Whats interesting about the whole thing is that they all had negative things to say about other races, but nothing about their own. The look at the faulty things on other people, and think that no-one from their race is capable of doing such graffiti on the wall, or throwing litter on the floor. If something such as this is not part of their everyday lives, then they are against it, but me, growing up in the south bronx, its a normal everyday thing for me. Of course its wrong, but no-one is the neighborhood seems to care. They actually stand back and let it happen. I see the difference when sometimes there is a home game at yankee stadium, and the white people (no offense to no-one) will not dare go pass the grand concourse, because everything seems different to them. Its an environment that they are not used too, so they are against it. Then again you hear so many bad things about the bronx, but its not always true, so i dont blame them for not wanting to stick around after the game.
