Jane Jacobs mentions in her The Death and Life of Great American Cities[1] that money has transformed the way people live and how they see the World is. It is making big problems in our society such as: dividing people into social classes. Have this problem solution? It is very difficult to resolve this kind of problems as a result of money and people’s ways of seeing.
Malcolm Gladwell says to Jane Jacobs’ cities designs in his abstract Design for Working[2]. The way people make the distances between desks with the others and why they always try to be away from others. A good way to design an office is putting the most detachable workers in the center to be in touch with the others and to move around, too. Making the office a kind of neighborhood where people can share and be sociable is the objective.
These sort of design are very useful in our society as in cities as in workplaces. As this design could work in the second case, teachers can use Jacobs’ design in classrooms. A
lways has it been very important the way classrooms are organized in terms of chairs, tables, boards, and so on. However, there is something more important, the equal opportunities for students whoever they are. Probably, in classrooms, this let them feel more acceptable in our society. What we should be aware of is that we have to be equitable because some students need more attention, a different sort of teaching, or for some is very difficult to learn than others. In every place, such as schools, works, cities, or even countries we live the inequitable of some who thinks, thanks to money, that they have more “power” than us. The world born in classrooms so teachers do teach in an equal way for all.

*Does* this problem *have a* solution? It is very difficult to resolve this kind of problem* as a result of money and people’s ways of seeing.
This part does not make much sense I am afraid:
Malcolm Gladwell says to Jane Jacobs’ cities designs in his abstract Design for Working[2].
Gladwell never says anything to Jacobs...what do you mean?
