Segregation means to keep apart whereas integration means putting people together.
Segregation occurs due to many different reasons and is most strongly felt within social and economic systems. Although purposeful segregation seems to be a thing of the past, its presence still affects cities to this day. Segregated cities tend to have a higher degree of "worse off" residents, especially among the black population. This is especially true for educational attainment where neighborhoods with a very high amount of black population (80% or more) tend to have low rates of the population earning higher educations. Schools in central city districts tend to be significantly more underfunded than schools in suburban neighborhoods.
Economic segregation is where groups are segregated due to economic processes and their outcomes. A great example of economic segregation is the city of Detroit in Southeastern
Michigan. Due to the outsourcing of thousands of jobs from the city, Detroit experienced economic decline and stagnation. The opposite of segregation is integration, which is the synthesis of different groups into a unified whole. Every large city tends to have some segregation, but there are others that tend to have a more integrated structure.
The intermixing of people or groups previously segregated is “NOT” going to always be good all the time, every person and group are not going to get along with everyone. one suggestion that was made was that integration took away the need for black people to need to and want to succeed.They only want to be that baddest and toughest on the street. Having an education is not a necessity anymore, because anyone can get one now. With this thinking, after a while the black male and females gave up on a education.
