IntroductionThe purpose of this research paper is to compare individuals that live within an area with those who live outside an area. This observation will provide us with a general idea of how one would perceive and define a neighborhood. Using different methods of testing, this research paper will compare and contrast the differences of living in an area such as Richmond Hill with those who live outside an area such as Down Toronto.
