(c) Ideas against metropolitan city life was popular at that time because big cities were badly managed: high crime rates, air pollution, and crowded living space. Many people preferred the peaceful and quiet life in the suburbs. (d) In many cities, education is better in the suburbs than in the city center. 3. (a)A country’s role in world economy can be understood with the help of Rostow model.
Conclusion In conclusion, the “Parable of the Sower” portrays cities as places to avoid rather than being sanctuaries due to the lack of safety and the adverse influences of corporations. However, the novel does provide some hope by proving that if we start realizing problems and planning ahead, then, cities could change and become more livable in the future. As more people move to urban areas, the way we plan, manage and develop our cities will be fundamental in creating a fair, safe, healthy and sustainable
This attracted more people to move to cities. By 1900, thirty percent of the U.S population lived in citiess. However this urbanization came with many problems. For many of the people living in the cities, they had an extremely low quality of life. Another result that came with America’s industrialization and urbanization was capitalism.
The rise of cities in America’s cities grew in all direction after the Civil War. With the increase of cities and population it cause the cities to face several problem. For example, people who worked in huge cities had no choice but to live in overcrowded apartment. They also faced problem of sanitation, health and moralse. They had little
Some may say that there were many problems because of rapid urbanization. Some situations in the list of problems in the city include housing shortages, the environmental conditions, and crime. However, efforts and solutions were made to fix these complications. To fix problems of urbanization, there were early reforms to provide
Imagine a world where there was no technology and no cures for any fatal disease. Society would be disastrous and no one would have a stable, healthy life. Well, before the 1700’s, this was a reality for any human living in the world. Although there were some families who had it better than others, everyone lived a basic, life in conditions of filth, and disease . Around the 1700’s to the present, also known as the Modern Revolution, scientists have begun to discover new technology to better face the world in many ways.
Lefebvre argued that the city is the suitable place to display work of art through an appropriation of the people and challenging the dominant system and political arrangements. However, it should not be forgotten that the urban environment is directly affected by state planning. As Lefebvre argued that the state is actively involved in housing construction, new towns, or the so-called urbanisation which is part of both ideology and considered as rational practice of the state In urban, the relation of production ( the sum total of social relationships that people must to produce and reproduce their means of life) was equally modified in reality although it is not able to transform them. The productive forces do not merely operate within space but on space, and space equally constrains them.
The Industrial Revolution had major consequences of pollution created by the factories and impacted the environment heavily. As a result, people perceived the revolution as being detrimental. The air in the city was noticeably darker because it was filled with toxic gases and soot causing people and animals to become ill. The contaminated air caused rain to transform into acid rain which lead to the fresh water supply becoming polluted. Rivers were also contaminated by factories because of the effluent discharged into them leaving the pigment appearing brown.
Pollution may be a threat, but it can be solved in our
“Nearly one half of all Americans—an estimated 150 million—live in areas that don’t meet federal air quality standards” (Vehicles, Air Pollution). Out of all pollution, 33% comes directly from the transportation sector and the emissions produced by gasoline burning engines (Heckeroth). The primary sources of this pollution comes from passenger vehicles and heavy duty trucks that belch out ozone, unburned hydrocarbons, particulate matter, and other smog forming gases. The health concerns from these toxic chemicals are extremely serious. Polluted air can cause asthma, bronchitis, and other respiratory issues, while increasing the risk of potentially fatal conditions such as cancer.
CHAPTER 1 1. INTRODUCTION The air we respire contains mixture of natural and man-made chemical, physical and biological elements that modifies ambient air quality. Among all air pollutants, the most threatening for human health include particulate matter and gaseous pollutants such as carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide (WHO). The movement of people into urban areas and the growth of industry within these areas has carried more people into contact with air pollution than any other time in recent memory.
Nowadays, the world has changed. The world now are modern because of the power of technology. People may not have a good life without this technology because of people nowadays are dependence on technology mostly. As we know,the technology are created to make our life more better, easier and comfortable. We admitted that the technology are giving us a lot of benefits,but we has also realise that the technology can give bad effect for us.
THE IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND HUMAN HEALTH Technology is a major part of everyone’s life. Technological advances are encountered at home, school and at work. These technological advances have become so helpful to people lives. Every year new technologies appear to help people to live more comfortable by allowing them to do more with less effort. That’s why expressions such as “I do not know what I would do without the washing machine” or “I could not live without my cell phone” are heard more frequently.
There are many problems that threatens society and one problem in particular, air pollution is a problem that threatens everyone. Air pollution is the contamination of air with pollutants that are harmful to humans, animals, and the environment. It began to be a problem when humans discovered the uses of fire and then the amount of air pollution exponentially grew after the industrial revolution, and is still a problem even today. The largest causes of air pollution are from human activities such as burning of fossil fuels and gas emissions from manufacturing plants. There are ways that ordinary people can help contribute to prevent air pollution and or else face the dangerous consequences of polluted air.
City life is stressful because cities are noisy and crowded. City people live a luxury life with modernity. In contrast to city, village does not have more facilities to make their lives comfortable. They are still integrated with the basic and traditional way. They are living a simple and normal life.
