Pre-University Paper from the year 2023 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Other, grade: 1, , language: English, abstract: The paper analyzes the growing gap between the rich and the poor in New York City, examining both historical developments and the city's spatial structure. It also looks at population trends and the division of society into different social classes – the upper class, middle class, and lower class – highlighting key issues such as gentrification, homelessness, and crime.

The author investigates the causes of these social disparities and their impact on urban life. Rising living costs, housing shortages, and unequal economic opportunities have led to an increasing divide between wealthy and poor residents. Additionally, the paper discusses government measures and aid programs aimed at addressing these social problems.

Drawing from various sources, the paper concludes with a critical reflection on how this social divide might evolve in the future.
