The neighborhood that I am going to do my research paper on is Westchester Square, an area in the East Bronx. I’ve been living in Westchester Square for the last 4 years. My research paper is going to focus on the history of this neighborhood, starting from the early 1900’s. I will talk about the influx of various ethnic groups into the area and how the diversity has affected the neighborhood. Certain things have changed in the last 30 years, like the number of ethnic grocery stores and restaurants. I will interview various people in the area and ask them about their experiences living in Westchester Square. Every person in this neighborhood has their own story and culture. But what’s great about the people of this neighborhood is that despite all the cultural differences, we can all call this neighborhood our home.

I really like the idea of looking into how such diversity affects the community. That’s definitely something I might do in my paper. Also the use of interviews as research can be very effective and that’s also something I might do as well. Good luck on your paper 🙂
