Recently me and my brother moved to a little city in Utah named Logan. We are from Dallas TX. Our my died a year, and soon after I realized that Dallas wasn't the place for us. Dallas isn't a bad place at all, it's filled with many great things to do, but the area we lived in was very hard place to survive. I recently found out that my brother who was only 14 was getting into some heavy trouble. Gangs, drugs, and many different things. I reasoned that we needed to get out of dallas and head for the hills (Utah). we've onlybeen here a few days, but it seems as if I have seen a complete change in him. He even wants to get back into boys scouts and band. I wonder if a change of scenery can be a solution to more of our youths problems?

Yes changing a persons eviroment can change their lives because peer pressure is a real big thing, like for example if someone was always around smoking eventually peer pressure would come, and that person would be tempted to try it, and i think a change of scenery could change your youth problems. It was a pleasure answering your question.

Not only does the environment change the outcome of ones life, but society as a whole shapes an individual's perception to fit within its stereotype. Many stereotypes about a certain kind of people of a particular race could limit their outcome, which might have been a success, but as a result it turns out as a failure. The environment also plays a role in determining the outcome of an individual, it could be good and many of the times not so good, for example, a neighborhood known for many illegal crimes can turn an individual into a criminal not because of its reputation but because of the people one interacts with. And for every kind of interaction there must be a mechanism of survival, in this case committing crimes is the way out.

Why do you think good sucessful schools tend to be found in rich areas, and bad failing schools tend to be in poor areas?
