From the Paper:
"While the basic makeup of a community might seem more like information that a city planner or statistician would need to know, but this information is actually very relevant to the counselor. Indeed, ``the more informed you are, the more efficiently and effectively you can use your time'' (102). The city of Chicago has many communities. For instance, the Jewish community, African-American community, writer's community, and the communities of different neighborhoods are all different parts of the Chicago community. Still, most would agree that Chicagoans feel a sense of community with one another. Thus, the city itself is, indeed, one large community. Thus, it is this community about which basic facts will be shared. With a population of close to three million as of 1998, Chicago is very diverse city, made up of over a million whites and African-Americans, nearly a million Asians, and thousands of Native Americans and those of other races. Furthermore, Hundreds of thousands of Hispanics are located in the area (Some Quick Facts 2001-2008). Chicago's diverse population is a statistic of which many Chicagoans are proud."Sample of Sources Used:
