Assignment 5A- Identifying Local Opportunities

Assignment 5A- Identifying Local Opportunities


1) Before Super Bowl, Miami's Little Havana faces exodus of Cubans, pressure from developers

Essentially, the native Cuban population in Miami are experiencing a threat during this time due to the large amount of tourism and non-native hispanic populations migrating to the south for the upcoming Super Bowl game. This is also the main essence of the problem, along with the fact that having the title "Little Havana" isnt fitting anymore as the area's demographics are rapidly changing. Thus, the people who have the problem are native populations to "Little Havana"

2) Everything you need to know about coronavirus, the deadly illness alarming the world

The article mainly speaks about general information regarding the outbreak of the new coronavirus, where it has spread, and how to look out for it in question-answer format. The problem identified is that it has officially posed as an international public health concern, as noted by U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and World Health Organization, and everyone should be aware of the virus and actively trying to prevent any sort of contraction. The people affected are currently populations in China, however communities worldwide also have the worry/problem

3) More Latino students than ever are trying to get their degree, but it’s fraught and costly

In a series titled Hecho en USA, latino communities have been identified within the US and interviewed about their daily lives, how they live, work, and involve themselves in academics. In this specific article, young latinxs speak about the adversities they face when trying to attend post-secondary institutions, while trying to juggle work life and taking care of their families. Those affected by the problem are the low-income latinx communities living in the United States.

4) Thieves steal bronze Salvador Dali sculptures from Swedish gallery

From Stockholm, Sweden, at least two thieves have been reported to have stolen over 10 bronze sculptures created by Salvador Dali, the historically famous Spanish artist. The problem includes general crime, but even more drastic as it costed the art museum between $21,000 to $52,000. This poses as a problem for mainly the staff at the Couleur gallery in central Stockholm, as well as police officers working on the case.

5) Facebook privacy tool gives you more control on how you're being watched online

This article is about Facebook finally releasing a long-awaited privacy tool that allows users to clear information (that would be otherwise exploited by businesses) about previous websites and apps they have opened. The release of this tool by CEO Mark Zuckerberg was in an attempt to clear the air about a "poor scandal-riddled narrative on privacy." The problem actually affects business that normally exploit personal information from Facebook, as well as the Facebook company because they will now not be able to take personal information from their users without consent anymore.
