    In The Absence Of An Introduction This documents presents an observation study of the community of Denham Town in West Kingston. The contents of the study is perhaps best understood if seen within the context of the speech in New York given by the Leader of The Opposition the hon. Andrew Holness, which is given below:- Holness blames politics for impeding fight against poverty Wednesday, October 29, 2014 134 Comments OPPOSITION Leader Andrew Holness has said that politics has thwarted the fight to lift the country out of poverty since Jamaica became independent 50 years ago. Holness, who heads the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), made the comment while addressing members of the Diaspora in New York last week during the 'Outlook for the Future' public forum organised by the Jamaica National Building Society (JNBS). He made the comment while speaking on the link between the inequity in the education system and poverty, and its effect on the Jamaican economy. Holness said that in order to overcome the major barriers to quality and equal education, there is need to remove the issue of politics from the discourse which has stymied the fight against poverty since independence. The former prime minister, who was also an education minister, said too that the country's deep-rooted income inequality was linked to the inequity in the education system, and that his party intends to fix that problem and ensure that all Jamaicans have access to the same quality of education when it forms the next government. "Jamaica has the second highest inequality in the Latin America and Caribbean region and my thesis is that the basis of that inequality starts in the education system and I intend to change that. We have in Jamaica, what some say is 'dog-eat-dog' competition and that starts in the education system because of the GSAT system, where people who have good social and economic support lay claim to the better educational places," he said. Jamaica was cited by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in a 2011 report as having the second worst income inequality gap in the Americas. Holness said Jamaica's economic future is heavily dependent on its educated population, pointing out that the global paradigm was shifting towards services, which has to be supported by competent and knowledgeable human resources. He said while Jamaica has had in place universal primary education for more than 130 years, it has not translated into universal secondary education. Only about 70 per cent of school-age children get three years of basic school education; six years of primary school learning, and at the high school level, four to five years of education. The rest, he underscored, drop out along the way. "They end up on the periphery of the society and fuel the crime and social deviancy problems we have," Holness said. He noted that a major part of the problem with secondary education was the inequality in access to quality education at the secondary level, which he reiterated was still determined heavily by societal class structures. "And that's why when President Obama spoke about income equality; the country that he chose to reference was Jamaica. In fact, he said if we are not careful about what we are doing in the United States we will end up like Jamaica," Holness said. "What we want is what you have in the United States of America when you talk about universal literacy. It shouldn't matter which school you send your child to, the outcome should be the same," he said while acknowledging the work of the People's National Party Government and the JLP to bring literacy at the primary level to 90 per cent of students.

    Rational:= Denham Town has o#er the last three decades either ulled the attention
    of obser#ers as a lace "lled with talents and creati#ity4 a lace burstin! at its
    seams with life4 a lace in which one can e>cel in whate#er "eld which one mi!ht
    choose=le!al or ille!al? for others Denham town is a lace to be feared4 a lace of
    modern day 'obin Hoods and their )erry )en4 a lace where criminals and the
    most #iolent of eole are nurtured and encoura!ed4 a lace of the olitical
    indoctrinated and the narrow minded. %or those who camai!n for social @ustice4
    Denham Town is a lace of AcausesB4 o#erty4 discrimination4 olice brutality4 carnal
    abuse and childhood re!nancies etc. Thus for the social scientist4 Denham Town
    e>ercises a most owerful ull 4 a ull to understand how the Denham Town
    community functions 4 to study and understand how socialiCation is carried out4 to
    understand the institutional structure of the community amon! other thin!s.

    Objectie:= The ob@ecti#e of this study4 is to !ain an understandin! of the Denham
    Town community which has had to confront so many diDculties and odds4 has been
    able to roduce so many indi#iduals who ha#e been able to ma:e a ositi#e
    contribution to themsel#es4 their families and to the wider society. In other words
    8=How has the community roduced so much !ood out of so much badE
    !he "#r"ose :- The urose of the study4 is in the "rst instance to assist and
    facilitate those members of the %letcher.s4 )ana:er.s and )or!an.s families who are
    in#ol#ed in community wor: in the #arious arts of the Fnited States4 in -anada4 in
    Trinidad and Toba!o4 in /uyana and in the Fnited ;in!dom4 to better understand the
    from another ersecti#e4 those laces which are all the inner cities4 to better
    understand those who dwell within the inner cities and most imortantly for these
    7
    community acti#ists4 social wor:ers and social scientists to understand that there is
    hoe and that there is #alue to their wor:.
    Of imortance also is to hel those li#in! in the inner city communities to better
    rotect what they ha#e4 to assist them in discoura!in! the tendency towards A!an!=
    ban!in! A and other socially de#iant beha#ior.
    $etho%:- The method used was that of obser#ation o#er a three wee: eriod in
    October 20164 with most obser#ation bein! done from the second Goor of a buildin!
    at the Hond and -harles streets intersection4 mainly between the hours of 7.00
    =10.00 a.m. and &.00 2 12.00 .m. on wee: days4 and for lon!er eriod of time on
    wee:ends and Sundays. AOortunistic Obser#ations I ass and watchJ were also
    carried out at se#eral other oints in the community. The obser#ations were
    concentrated around the Hond and -harles Street intersection and e>tendin! down
    to Sanish Town 'oad.
    Constraints:- I1J the fact that crude obser#ation notes were written in S)S te>t
    form on a cell hone with #ery limited memory caacity4 and the obser#er had to
    wait for an oortunity either later in the day or at the start of the ne>t wee:4
    means that some information was lost in the rocess. The en#ironment did not allow
    for the traditional form of ta:in! "eld notes. I2J The Hawthorne *Kect became a
    constrainin! beha#ior modifyin! factor once indi#iduals realiCed that they were
    bein! obser#ed. I<J The Linformants. were not at all times reliable and did try to
    inGuence what was seen and how e#ents were seen4 which therefore meant that
    !reater attention had to be laced on ensurin! the #alidity of the e#ents bein!
    obser#ed than would ha#e been li:ed. And I6J The obser#er because of the olitical
    orientation of the community Isuorti#e of the oosition arty the ,amaica Labour
    9
    $artyJ4 his own olitical orientation which is suorti#e of the $eoles +ational $arty4
    in addition to his own indi#idual class tye biases had to ma:e si!ni"cant eKort to
    either suress those biases or to minimiCe their imact on his understandin! of
    e#ents.
    System o& ali%ation:- the system of #alidation of obser#ations is based on the
    followin!8= I1J 3hat e>ist in other communities4 inner city or non inner city. I2J what
    the obser#er has seen in other inner city communities and I<J the obser#er.s own
    e>eriences li#in! and wor:in! in the inner city namely ?= ,ones Town4 Allman Town
    and Arnett /ardens. I% an e#ent obser#ed in a si!ni"cant manner is outside of the
    norms and or standards seen elsewhere 4 for e>amle the case of Athe father
    unaccomanied by an adult female4 carryin! two children with him to -hurchB it is
    noted that there is no references and no way of con"rmin! the #alidity of
    obser#ation seen.
    A second le#el of #alidation is the use of hoto!rahs and newsaer articles which
    were ta:en from the internet. The hoto!rahs shows a wider icture Aof lifeB as
    was seen from the lens of the #arious hoto!rahs a!ainst which ones own
    obser#ation can be measured and #alidated4 eMually so is it with the set of articles
    downloaded from the internet.
    'imitation o& the st#%y:= The study is "rst limited in its alication in terms of
    time. Three wee:s is not bein! claimed to be enou!h to !ain a full understandin! of
    the community and secondly the At obser#ation Aof a sin!le AstretchB in Denham
    Town is not bein! claimed to be a reresentati#e study of the community.
    7
    Str#ct#re o& !he (oc#ment8= The document is di#ided into three arts. The "rst
    art of the document resents hoto!rahs of 3est ;in!ston as were downloaded
    from the internet. The second art of the document resents the obser#ations which
    were made in that community at the oints seci"es=Hond and -harles Streets
    intersection and the stretch on Hond Street from the intersection !oin! down to
    Sanish Town 'oad. The third art of the document4 resents articles from ,amaica.s
    two main newsaers4 The Daily /leaner and the ,amaica Obser#er.
    Concl#sion:= +o conclusion is resented because it is the #iew of the obser#er that
    the reader of the document will form his or her conclusion based uon his or her
    own e>eriences4 interests etc.
