I interviewed a friend named Domo who lives in the southwest part of
Detroit. Domo's views differed from mine because he has that violent look on
Detroit and see's it as a dangerous city if you don’t know the people who are
around you. Domo knows most people in the city and says that’s the only reason he knows he is safe. When he first moved to Detroit he really didn’t know anyone and had a rough time. He was mugged a few
times and got into some rough arguments with people who lived around him. Domo also told me how there are many homeless people on the streets who are always
asking for money. He said it’s a city that should be demolished and re built.
One of the most important things I learned from this
interview was that we shouldn’t run quickly to judge something until we learn
about all aspects of it. Also that Detroit may be a fun beautiful place downtown
but when you really hit the city streets where people actually live, it may not
be as safe as we think. Peoples views on the city are all different depending
on where you live and what parts of the
city you actually go to.
Questions that arose from this interview are that if we had
enough money to rebuild the city of Detroit would it really change people’s
violent behavior?
What makes Detroit the home to many homeless people?
