Suburbia
- isolated
- Less politically aware/ diverse
- Microcosm/ bubble
- Gated communities

These were the brainstorms that we came up for today just off the top of our heads so I am interested to see if any of these opinions or topics change for me once I research more. We also decided to each choose a topic from the ones that we came up with today and I chose suburbia because I feel that it is a major thing in the u.s. and that is where I come from.
