The Ghetto Effect is a psychological synopsis of how the ghettos in America have had such a profound effect on the nation. The effect is broken down into different categories in each of the short chapters, such as the Logic behind the Name, Segregation as it Exists Today, Judicial System, and Urban Sprawl, just to name a few. These are all highly emotionally charged subjects that I feel need addressing in order for our society to grow. Because for way to long has our society been stagnated in fear by speaking the truth without hurting the feelings of others. Everyone looks at the quick-fix answers and look to our experts for solutions. In chapter twelve, I discuss the solution to the question. It may not be the correct answer, but its better than whats available now. The other half of the equation is the urban traumatic stress syndrome (UTSS). This is a lot like post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but with longer-term effects.
