Being able to settle in one area like an urbanized society was a big advantage. They did not have to constantly be moving area from place to place and also they could grow large amounts of food. Although growing your own crops is very hard, its better than moving around and they had a pretty good chance of supporting themselves for a lifetime. In an urbanized society they often had surplus so they had more spare time and that was a big advantage because that allowed people to develop technology like pottery and trade that for other valuable items. In a foraging society, they did not have a lot of spare time because they spent most of their time
With all these growing cites, it really changed the way people lived. Cities were getting extremely crowded and people really struggled to find a stable home. Also, with new railroads, it made it faster for people to get to places. Now, a one week trip was now able to be made in two to three days, which led to faster communication. It was easier and quicker to be able to talk to other people or meet up with family.
Public transportation in Minnesota is also very expensive and there is a process that one needs to go through to access it. For example, you have to call to schedule a taxi or you have to follow a schedule for the buses which at times can be very stressful and sometimes a lengthily process. In Liberia, public transportation is very cheap and easy to access and it is the most common way of transportation because cars are very expensive and not affordable. In Liberia one does not need to call to arrange a taxi pick up, or follow a specific bus schedule. You just walk up in the street and stop a taxi for a ride which is very convenient.
They find that shops, cafes and restaurants along the road provide a sense of community and make people feel safe and welcomed throughout the day, although there seems to be a difference in views on the road after night fall, people tend to feel more insecure of the area, become more fearful of walking to and from the local social organisations, many people avoid walking at all costs and would prefer to get a taxi even for very short journeys. T he road is described as rough by members or the community although it has not always been known like this, many people that have lived in the area a long time are saying they used to be able to walk around happily and with no fear but things have changed, the amount of takeaways, bars and restaurants has caused more violence and crime within the area due to attracting a different crowd to what it used too. The local police officer ‘PC Bob Keohane’ feels differently about the area explaining that the road is safe 24hours a day as long as you have your commonsense. The way that people feel regarding an area can be down to their own imagination, their own perspective, what they see when they walk down the street and their own experiences and the history they have within the area. If you walk down a street and you see graffiti, vandalisms or litter you instantly presume that the area is somewhat rough and begin in your minds to become fearful from what
A.C. Gilbert company has suffered a big loss in sales and profit. A lot of money was spent on expanding their business.

Other phone companies and cable companies got in on the market and providing the internet to customers using new fiber optic cables that provided internet speed 100 times faster than the 56K speed previously provided. The new technology made life for many individuals easier however; in some cases it was devastating, as the development of new technologies, like answering systems, made certain positions obsolete; reducing the number of jobs available in some fields. In addition, the new technologies made further education regarding how to use these new devices or systems vital to not only employees but also to individuals who found themselves in need of employment. Companies developed machines that could replace the need for paid employees and could eliminate error; this is especially true in the car manufacturing industry. Although, the new technologies caused many job loses, in fact, it did create numerous jobs, and some reports say 24 million.
(Neuman,2005)The environmental aspects of urban consolidation is quite different with in developing the form of urban sprawl. In high density areas, there is only a few natural vegetations,which include trees and grasslands and etc, are found within the buildings, roads, and parking areas. So it makes harder for the inner suburb to have a cleaner environment without planting large amount of vegetations.To sum up, it has both problems and benefits by developing the urban consolidation but the advantages of consolidation is more convincing , making th consolidation form as a more sustainable and livable plan
The demand for higher level courses and enhanced skills has increased the pressure on states to common assessments. This means higher stakes to the public school system. Unfortunately with the increase in poverty levels more students are coming to school hungry which impacts their ability to learn. In 2000 kids were eligible for reduced price lunches, but since then the price has steadily gone up every year, and now there is barely a difference in price. Many parents can’t afford to send their kids to school with a lunch, and with the price of lunches going up how can we expect these children get the best education available?
It is sad how the poor are getting poor and the middle class are barely holding on to their class and how the rich keep getting richer. I feel that inequality is increasing between the rich and poor and I feel that should not be happening so it is a good thing that the Occupy Wall Movement has taken a step toward it. The Movement has spread throughout the world because of how it supports the majority 99% person of people that are living in United States. I feel that it has spread more because of how the crisis have increased a lot which has become a major problem and the movement has about 20,000 person in support which is a good amount of number to make a
By not allowing them to further their education causes the resources that these kids are being provided with to go to waste. “Most immigrant families have a positive net fiscal impact on the United States, adding $88,000 more in tax revenues than they consume in services” (Kane and Johnson 31). We have invested time and money into these students, and they acquire the dream of being able to achieve upward mobility in order to break the downward mobility cycles. Many of these students have been striving in school and have taken the right paths, only to be impeded from achieving a higher education. This is an issue that we need address and fix in order for the State of Oregon to successfully combat the recession that we are currently facing.
