“Bad neighborhoods can have positive outcomes in the long run”

Every single human being is shaped by his or her interests, suppose genetics, and the space around them, in which encloses the world around them. However, that is not necessarily a negative way to judge a person’s natural instincts and thought process. Others may blame an individual’s actions by their hometown, and have a condescending view upon them, meaning their neighborhood is at fault for shaping their behaviors. Though, growing up in a poor neighborhood came shape a person for the better and granting them many life lessons that a privileged neighborhood would not be able to hand them.

For instance, young ten years young Kayla has been living in Newark since she was born. The conclusion that our present day society would conclude that she will grow up as a troubled child, committing crimes, and possibly dropping out of school. By living in a underdeveloped community, many thing are being taken away from Kayla constantly. Her family had to move around a few times just because the family is not able to pay their rent. The parents have been found guilty in taking away some of Kayla’s toys to sell for money. Constantly throughout her family many things have been taken away from her and most people would say that grown up Kayla will not have a bright and successful future due to the role model of parents that she had. By having those items taken away from her as a child, it has molded her to become independent and not to trust everyone that enters her life.

Similarly to the marshmallow test, the children must trust the instructor giving them the treats. Some children know from their neighborhoods that trust is not a popular characteristic in people, and will immediately eat the first marshmallow they had been given.
