A brief introduction

You may ask who we are, why we are here and for what cause.

We are five senior highschool students from Denmark whose quest is to understand the ways of the Americans. We will analyze the urban districts of Boston, New York City and Washington DC. Our quest is to dig deep into the cultural and social conditions of the people living in the districts, and the relationship between the wealth of the district and those cultural and social conditions.

Furthermore, we will interview the habitants of the districts to collect qualitative data from which we can analyze and interpret, and from that, conclude their social and economic conditions.
