Emmons explains in his plan the things he needs, for example like would be the land they need, the research that would have to taken, the funding of the money and the help in construction. Emmons uses the example of 1942 when Portland joined together as a community to build houses for the poor. Knowing that a war was occurring; instead of separating themselves, they joined together and worked together as a community.

Forest Acres is a community located in Richland County of Columbia, South Carolina. It is a community that was incorporated in the year 1935 near the waters of Dent’s Pond, now known as Forest Lake, due to John Hughes Cooper and James Henry Hammond both having real estate interests in the area.

Systems theories Challenges emerge in the framework and developmental programs due to the state of mind about individuals and their needs than is reflected in current attitudinal, automatic, and financing substances (Carling, 1993). Challenges can take place by pushing real change through a framework, the upheld housing approach likewise flies in numerous personal stakes, both expert and financial. Frameworks that take such a methodology can without much of a stretch get to be overpowered with the objective of constructing housing in light of purchasers' inclinations, particularly in light of the fact that community emotional wellness services are commonly acting in "emergency mode," with little time to ask any other individual's perspectives (Carling, 1993). Listening to consumers, whether detailing new objectives with an individual or arranging another statewide way to deal with housing, takes additional time than that required by current methodologies.

The question of the necessity of zoos is extremely controversial nowadays. There are many people who advocate for replacing them with sanctuaries as they believe money spent on keeping wild animals captive might have been used for conserving them in wild. Others are concerned that zoos serve not only for people's pleasure but for preserving and keeping populations that otherwise would go extinct. There are sufficient arguments for both points of view, expressed in various articles that are dedicated to the significant topic. “Do elephants belong in zoos?” by Jeffrey P. Cohn and “Eight reasons why zoos are good for conservation” by James Borrell are the examples of such articles.
