In South Central there are many positives and many negatives. Some Positives is just being with friends and family. Negatives is just all the violence and activity thats happens around our community. Whats good about South Central is that it’s my home and i learned to survive in the conditions it is in today. Their is alot of things that make South Central good ; first of all your friends and family you’ll always feel safe around them. South Central has its bad times but most of the time its peaceful and people get along and know what not to do.
The three most important events that have had the greatest impact on making South Central, LA what it is today are watts riots, crack epidemic, and gang history.
The first event that has made South Central what it is today is the watts riots. I think it made it how it is because people needed jobs and they wanted to stop living so poorly. People were also furious of the way different color races were treated they were being treated unfair. I think it is important because if the watts riots hadn’t occured then we would see all kinds of race going around and we would have had to live in the poor areas and everybody is supposed to be treated the same no one is different everybody is human but ome people were getting treated as if they were something else.
I think the crack epidemic has made South Central how it is now because the police knows they sell so now were the targets. Many people get addicted to it and they end up out on the streets not knowing what to do without the crack. It has made families come apart and thats why kids go out and start slagging because they need money or they just wanna get into that business. I think it is important because it has made South Central the place where people think its bad and its not safe to be around, but its different once you live in it.
The last event that has made South Central what it is now is gang history. Gangs are all over the world but you see more fights here than ever because alot of people want to act all tough and go shoot somebody to get into some kind of gang or crew. Gang members tag so tagging around the neighborhood is another thing gangs do they destroy our neighborhood when with the same spray can they tag with they could create art. This is important because South Central wouldnt be the same without all the tagging.
So the three most important events that made South Central what it is now are watts riots, crack epidemic, and gang history. Without these things South Central wouldnt be what it is and thats what makes it my home. Maybe South Central will change or it will get worse nobody knows but lets hope for the best.
