Neighborhood as a Socializing Agent

When we did this project I was thinking it was going to be boring & I was also thinking what's the point ? 

When we got our zip code it was 20001 which is Washington, D.C. 

You would think that since it's very close to the White House it'd be a very nice area to live in but not at all. When our group was doing research we looked up their crimes rates and the results were horrifying I would of never imagined any of that. Murder was at 821%, rape was at 149%, robbery was at 500%, assault was at 310%, burglary was at 131%, & vehicle theft was at 470%.

I found my area to be the most shocking but I feel that all the areas were pretty close but yet so different from each other . Our values & the things we do are so different. Although we're close there was families that are very wealthy and others who could bearly meet ends meet. Some neighborhoods and very nice and calm and others where there's so much crime going on. Also how races are all segregated it's a very sad thing we should all be able to get along with each other.
