Rural broadband is known as the ability to connect to the Internet efficiently from rural areas in the country and world. It is believed that the increase of rural broadband can stimulate economic growth in such areas. Currently, about 13.1% of U.S. households do not have access to broadband (Singleton, 2015).West Virginia in particular is considered heavily underserved. Currently 29% of the state’s population is underserved, making the Mounain State one of the 5 fewest connected states in America
diverse world it’s distinction and similarities. The village is a small area with a small population. Life in the village is very basic and traditional while life in the city is full of luxury and modernity. Cities have a large population and it is often noisy and crowded. On the other hand, the lifestyles in villages and urban areas are totally different, but you can hardly find any similarities. The differences of rural and urban areas are their facilities, education, living costs, but the similarities

The owners of the sugar refineries were a prime example of this, they utterly dominated the rural economy and forced the native population to work for them for low wages. “Their wages were low, and they earned them only part of the year” (198). This was a negative impact to the native people due to the fact that their wages weren't enough to even

the rapid growth of the population in Mexico. Mexico’s population number is increasing day by day which leads to an undesirable condition. The occurrence of overpopulation happens when the world’s population mass exceeds the carrying capacity of an area. According to Sustaining our Future, therefore, it is predicted that with the current increase rate of the population in the world, there will eventually be more people existing than available resources (Cohen).

“Digging” by Seamus Heaney was published in 1966 in his first collection “Death of a Naturalist” (Heaney 7) and is one of his first poems.

example, we have a British rum factory and a German plaster board company on the banks of this important natural resource. Bundaberg’s fresh crops of sugarcane, ginger, lychees, sweet potatoes and mangoes which grow on the Burnett River increases the areas economy as we distribute the produce all over the country. The fresh food that we have access to is better for us as it is cheaper, but this could all stop if manufacturing continues. Companies are known to pump chemicals into farming land’s water
Abstract Being an aborigine in a white dominated society is a complicated identity. Australia, one of the white governed nations, also owns many aboriginal tribes. They lived harmonious lives in the early period. But European colonization has made a profound effect on the lives of Aboriginals in Australia, which led to the total demolition of their native culture, identity and history. As a result the new generation Aboriginals have lost their Aboriginal heritage and have been accepted neither by
The Center of Rural Affairs expresses the rural values in America by saying, “We live in an era of profound change - when institutions, policy, and life are being fundamentally reshaped. It is a critical time for people of conscience to work together in guiding change to reflect our highest values. To that we commit the Center for Rural Affairs.” Rural values take place within this country and each and every individual’s life. Rural values impact everyone because of the food we eat. The most common
To understand the causes of inequality one must first know what inequality is. Inequality is the extent to which income is distributed unevenly in a group of people. It is the disproportionate ownership of resources between different sections of the society.

Thus it is important to consider inequality between groups of

Agritourism is a type of tourism that allows tourists to take part in different aspects of agriculture. Tourists visiting an orchard and picking their own fruits instead of going to a grocery store is an example of agritourism. Common forms of agritourism in the United States are pumpkin patches, corn mazes, Christmas tree farms, and wineries. Some forms of agritourism also involve tourists lodging at the local farms and ranches that they visit. Most of South Dakota’s residents would identify Mount
Bailey: On page 191, Hosseini uses imagery to appeal to the reader’s senses and create a more realistic setting. Baba’s study is described, and it’s mentioned that Amir can smell the “sweetbrier-scented breeze”. This, along with description of the “twin columns of smoke” that are coming from Baba and Rahim Khan, creates a calm and pleasant setting for the audience to imagine.

Sex and gender are the two terms used for identification of masculinity and femininity among humans in our daily life. Sex is the biological term that determines the biological and “anatomical” differences between male and female species.

While both East Egg and West Egg are famously known to be where the richest of the rich live, they act very different with how they show their money.

Faulkner views America as a place where people often have more compassion or intelligence than they let on, especially in the rural areas. Everyone is capable of having these traits, but not everyone uses them. Humanity will still prevail in America because there are enough people with that compassionate spirit of endurance and sacrifice. In As I Lay Dying, Jewel and Darl are two
Rural development is as important as urban development. Alleviating the hardships of the rural people is fundamental to rural development. Efforts at developing the rural areas are aimed at creating industries and employment opportunities. Any initiative towards this end would be welcomed with open arms in Nepal.

comments connecting Walloon to rural life can be positive when rurality is constructed within a pastoral perspective of land as a place of authenticity and simplicity as opposed to the decadence of the city, but rurality becomes negative when it is linked with backwardness, the lack of modernity or education. Keeping the importance of continuum in mind, it is now possible to explore further the fictive evaluations collected on social networks. One can identify five main areas where normative fictionality
While I was looking for a topic for my hot topic, this one caught my eye. At first, I didn’t know what a closed campus meant, but after doing some research I found out exactly what it means. A closed campus means that the students must stay on campus until the end of the school day, an open campus means that the students are free to leave campus during the school day. I honestly had no idea that a high school could have be open or closed. My high school was open the whole time I was there, and it
