Common Fate

The common fate of the communities we visited is dynamic and ever-evolving and while we were given some dire facts on graduation rates, gang affiliation, and teen pregnancy, we were also introduced to youth squads and proactive youth involved in bettering the community. Past perception of the community has been negative, but members seem engaged and interested in seeing their community prosper. The only thing that we can say for certain is that it is a community in transition and self-determination will play an increasing large role in common fate.
