“Effects of neighborhood and family stressors on African American male adolescents’ self-worth and propensity for violent behavior.” Most citizens of the world live in an urban environment. By 2030, only one-third of the world population will be residing in rural areas as the majority of the people move to towns and cities. Sociologists have tried to use numerous methods to explain this trend, but are now using urban sociology to explain. The sociologists have been attempting for long to explore the social changes that take place in society as citizens move from rural to urban areas. As a result, the earliest attempt to develop urban sociology borrowed ideas from the model of biological ecology.

my dog Recently, I have a white Pomeranian puppy named “Little Tweet.” The reason for the name is that when I got him, he was only two months. It hummed like a bird all day long. The sound is shallow, and the volume is minimal. It has been three months now, and he is still a small puppy. However, he is very heavy and over 3.5 kilograms. Little Tweet’s hair is long and velvety, and the whole body is snow-white. The nose of two ears is yellowish.

At first, he only eats dog food.…
