    5 pages (Double- space)

     

    In this assignment you will focus on the films “Taxi Driver”, “Manhattan”, and “Downtown 81” and the corresponding readings.  As in the previous essay, in 5 pages I want you to choose a scene from each film, to discuss how the issue of “white flight” and the corresponding decline in public services in cities could have led to the high levels of inequality we currently see in cities. Use economic arguments to justify your thesis.
