Not in My Back Yard, Not My Problem
Bibliographic record
Abstract
One need not look to the Global South or conflict zones worldwide to find marginalized and oppressed communities. Canada has one of the highest living standards in the world. Yet, many of our citizens live unhoused or with unstable power, undrinkable water, and insecure food supply. In the larger urban centres people seem to have become accustomed to stepping over unhoused people who are dying in the streets, or they avoid visiting the impoverished core neighbourhoods altogether. Countless individuals suffer from mental health challenges or addictions exacerbated by poverty. Most will not act unless they cannot avoid what is occurring in their own backyard. Society would rather hide the undesirable lifestyles and way of life of the homeless, poverty-stricken, criminal, or addicted individuals by congregating them in impoverished neighbourhoods. Many feel that if these social blisters are out of site, and “not in my back yard” (NIMBY) then they are someone else’s problem. We should all feel responsible to overcome this culture of indifference and silence as NIMBYism has a high societal cost to everyone, especially in the city of Winnipeg and other Canadian cities. This chapter explores the phenomenon of inaction, denial, and how the average person is called to act on social issues in their communities. We examine the power of adding to the discourse around social responsibility to raise awareness and inspire people to make positive contributions in their communities.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
