Document Summary
Tepperman chapter fourteen populations, cities, and neighbourhoods. Demographic transition shift in a population or society through a series of stages from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates. Environmental racism a type of discrimination that results in the concentration of poor racial minorities in densely packed, poorly served urban neighbourhoods, often with greater levels of pollution and located near waste dumps and heavy industry. Gentrification the restoration and upgrading of deteriorated urban property by middle-class or affluent people, often resulting in displacement of lower-income people. Gemeinschaft social situations in which those involved treat one another as ends rather than as means; primary relationships based on sentiment, found most often in rural life. Gesellschaft social situations in which those involved treat one another as means rather than ends; secondary relations based primarily on calculation and individual interest, found most often in city life.
