17- I live close to Jamaica Avenue so I can walk to the bank. I mostly see the major banks for example Chase, Capital One, Citi bank and Bank of America. About every 5-6 blocks you can see a check chasing place. One the strip of Jamaica, there are only 3 supermarkets that are close. There are plenty of clothing stores since the area is like a shopping center.(Observation)

20- The very bad smell around my house area by the park, the amount of people that have HIV/AIDS and the count of grand larceny.
21- Human services professional should care about communities and societies because it might affects the clients mental or physical problems that’s they are having. No one should want to live in a bad neighborhood that have high crime rates or anything that falls between that line. It might also help the professional on their questions about why the person act the way they do.
