Terrorism- a nationalist response to the effects of globalization Globalization of economy politics and social issues has made people and groups more insecure and uncertain. One main consecuence of that insecurity is to look for a personal identity and to search for a cultural identity. Globalization is the phenomenon that explains growth to a global or world wide scale(wordnetweb.priceton.edu). Nationalism is the loyalty and devotion to a nation; especially: a sense of national conciousness (www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nationalism). 1.
5. How rapid urban growth forced adaptations to severe problems of government mismanagement, poverty, inadequate housing, and precarious health and safety conditions. 6. How the urban environment served as the locus for new philosophical ideas, fresh approaches to education, rapid expansion in journalism, and a new consumerism. 7.
“Gentrification of DUMBO” Gentrification was introduced in the mid to late 1900’s and was illustrated as the conversion of socially marginal and working class areas of the central city to more affluent residential use by Dr. Judith N. DeSena in “What’s a Mother to Do” and “Gentrification, Schooling, and Social Inequality.” Gentrification is a process that began with the gentry who were middle class wealthy individuals or groups that came into the area and imposed change upon the lower working class area making it into a more affluent residential area. Large groups of people ranking closely to each other in wealth, power, and prestige, are all part of the same social class that came to existence because of the gentry. One idea to bear in mind is that social stratification, the structural inequality characterized by groups of people with different access to the rewards of society because of their relative position in the social hierarchy, coexists with different social classes. People are stratified according to their race, which are physical differences and ethnic differences that are learned and not inherited, and their ethnicity, which is identified on the basis of it common language, national heritage, and biological heritage. A Marxist idea known as the Social Conflict Theory, argues how groups within a society own different amount of resources, which is the defining the line between wealthy vs. poor, and also emphasizes how powerful groups use their power to exploit groups that hold less power.
1. Environment – The surroundings and influences on living things including humans. In my opinion the most environmental issue today is the climate change due to pollution and growing population around the world and the impact they have on the climate, seasons and changes to the planet earth. Worldwide the population is growing and as a result for creating more living space nature has to give away. Nowadays the urban population is larger than the rural population and growing cities are using rural space to expand, sacrificing natural habitats.
Many artists, designers, and architects were excited by new technologies and lifestyles, while others retreated into the past, embracing the spirit world, fantasy, and myth. Art Nouveau was a response to the radical changes caused by the rapid urban growth and technological advances that followed the Industrial Revolution. art Art Nouveau was more than a mere style. It was a way of thinking about modern society and new production methods. It was an attempt to redefine the meaning and nature of the work of art.
Cultural Imperialism (Author’s name) (Institutional Affiliation) Cultural imperialism is an aspect that is widely seen due to globalization. The advent of globalization has led to several changes that have impacted humans both positively and negatively. The term can be defined as the imposition of a foreign culture of civilization on people. Theorists of cultural imperialism define it differently. The utmost definition is that it is the process a given society or culture is introduced into the modern world system through various ways.
The industrial revolution introduced mass production and greater markets. The world was slowly transpiring into a global village, with all the new machinery and technology being produced. Ultimately, the industrial revolution was a turning point in history that paved the way for technological, scientific, and cultural advancements. However, with all these advancements, there are negative consequences to be faced. This can be demonstrated through the examination of urbanization, the rise of new classes, theories (by Smith, Malthus and Ricardo), and factory conditions.
Housing Supply and Social Exclusion | Living with the Paradox of Two Ideological Housing Systems in the UK. | James Campbell | Abstract This paper discusses the issue of social exclusion and changes in the UK social housing stock, in terms of its ideological groundings and impact policy changes have on social housing. Essential areas of this change have occurred recently under New Labour, but the roots of the ideological ideas are far more deeply seeded. Firstly this paper looks at the ideological history of social housing in the UK as a background to subsequent policy changes. Secondly it examines reason why Britain has become a ‘nation of home owners’ and how renting has come to be perceived as an ‘inferior’ tenure.
Urbanization or landscape change causes surface and atmospheric changes (Voogt and Oke 2003). The physical processes of urban land-use change are most commonly described as either a change in the absolute area of urban space or the pace at which non-urban land is converted to urban uses (RAINIS 2003). There is need to emphasize upon the changes occurring in urban climate, hydrology, and biogeochemical cycles caused by modification of the landscape (Stefanov and Netzband 2005). The changing patterns of land use and the spreading and intensification of human activities have impact on water resources (Boegh, Poulsen et al. 2009), energy balance and local climate.
Urban Sprawl: currently urban sprawl is the most colossal phenomenon our world is experiencing - Urban sprawl is known as an uncontrollable spread of urban development the concept includes spreading outwards from a cities core to low density suburbs that are automobile dependent urban development on the outskirts of the city is growing faster than development of the infrastructure, due to the intensive growth of suburbs Disadvantages: - Urban sprawl contributes to the degradation of our natural environment,air quality and water resources,as well as the consumption of agricultural lands and other natural resources so critical to the future economy. inefficient use of land/ infrastructure - inefficient use of infrastructure, and isolated communities carry with them high social, environmental, and economic costs. These costs not only undermine the high quality of life that Ontarians expect, but also severely reduce the Province’s ability to attract skilled workers and compete with other jurisdictions around the world. low density dependence on automobiles: inefficient land use, often found at the edge of town or in rural areas Loss of farm land - natural resources, endangerment of species Advantages: Economic stimulation: the development being created by urban sprawl is creating many new job opportunities (1.7 million jobs are expected to be created by 2031), helping to continue the growth of our economy. Lower Land prices: Developers are buying land further away from the inner rings of the Greater Golden Horseshoe, this is due to low purchase prices Single family homes: the fact that they are building on the outer lines of the GGH, it gives them to build housing in areas of low density zoning lower crime rate in the suburbs, How did we get to this point?
