Todays Generation vs. Hippy Generation

I don't think today's generation is that far different then the Hippy generation. Today, I witness a lot of political and social movements in my town, London, ON. I witness people using pot and playing lots of different kinds of music. A lot of people I know are involved in environmental and against war, pro peace groups. In fact, there is a rally coming up in a few weeks. I think today's generation is very similar to the Hippy generation. Today people are experimenting with all sorts of things, such as music, drugs and politics. I do see a similarity.

Returning Home

Dear loved ones,

I am finally returning home. After being gone for almost six years, it is time to return home to my family and friends. The war has ended, troops are now going home.

I can't wait to see little Timmy and how much has grown and little Sarah all grown up, graduated from college to become a teacher. Mary, I can't wait to see your beautiful brown eyes staring deep into mine. I've missed you guys so much. I'm excited to here all the new things you've have learned and created with your lives. I am excited to be apart of you guys again.

I shall be returning home in a few weeks and every day seems to last like a year. I've missed you guys so much. See you soon.

Love always

My Town London

Many urban areas in the developed world are ethnically diverse. London, ON is one of many. London has vastly expanded vastly since the 1980's and is continuing to expand. Not only is London expanding in the number of people, but also ethnicity as well. The population of London, ON is around 450 000 people. With this brings great excitement and accomplishment but also economic struggles for many.

London offers many different types of employment, resources, education and recreational opportunities, summer festivals, concerts, plays, etc. Home of the London Knights, the John Labatt Centre attracts many Londoners to Friday night hockey games. There is always something to engage in London.

However, the number of people compete for housing, employment, educational resources and political representation has risen. Many suffer residential segregation, but also contribute culturally.

The homelessness ratio has also increased. As a result, the availability of resources such as shelters and food banks has become a huge problem. The government has denied funding to places in the community that offers support, which results in shutting down these resources. An example would be My Sisters Place, located beside H.B Beal Secondary School. They have been without government funding for 10 months now and are still open because people of the community have helped.

London is a great community. Fun safe activities for the family and something exciting is going on.
