I plan to remix the first assignment paper I wrote in this classroom. The first assignment was based on gentrification and housing and its effect from the 1970s until today. I’ll be creating a “radio station” to go more in detail on my first paper and explain how the graffiti situation was similar to the war on drugs. I will also explain how housing is being impacted in NYC and low-income families are being forced to move to those housing buildings. I will use the example of the Bronx Fire and its impact on shedding light on housing and how the government does not uphold standards and push aside these families. Finally, I will introduce that gentrification not only has a negative effect on housing but other areas. I will show the bigger picture and say how it affects employment, education and more. I am very excited to bring my creative thoughts and remix it with one of my writing papers and show a different approach to what other modes of communication can do.
