...States The purpose of the article is to show the different factors that affects or influence the development of children. “This study investigated the effects of community locale, neighborhood social organization, utilization of community cognitive developmental resources, and home literacy on early childhood cognitive skills”, (Froiland, 2011). The first point of the article indicates the importance of family, social environment, school and the neighborhood in the development of children.

...in a rural location is a quieter area to reside in with fewer options compared to a more congested urban area. When an individual is choosing a location to live in there are many factors to consider. Some of these factors include population, amenities, school, employment, and crime rates. Desirable locations vary based on an individual’s age, ethnicity, and career path. Choosing a place to live is something that should not be taken lightly. Buying a home will lock one into a mortgage and make it more difficult to get out, unlike a lease, when one rents a home there is more flexibility. Shopping Opportunities Typically in an urban location one will have more opportunities to shop and find needed items at any given moment at a more affordable price. In a rural setting, however, there is a smaller population and less of a demand for goods and a person would have a difficult time buying items that they need as well as paying a considerably higher price for the items. Supply and demand play a big role on the price and availability of goods and merchandise. In an urban area there are more stores that carry items so they have to be competitive and offer sales and lower prices so consumers will buy their products. Transportation An individual also needs to consider the travel expense associated with living in a rural area, as more than likely there will...

First of all, business model depends on the type of products or service a company offers and to whom. In a given case, Chase and Danielson recognized possibilities in car-sharing business idea and ventured a deal. Zipcar emerged as a start-up company which offers car sharing service operating on a B2C basis. Zipcar offers on-demand vehicles and delivers mobile and timesaving service focusing on urban areas and its residents. Consequently, Zipcar business model in terms of its target market is segmented mostly according to geographic and psychographic factors (urban area people). As it follows, Zipcar mission statement flows out of its business model and aims to enable simple and responsible urban living. Business model most of the time integrates or is integrated within business strategy. Since Zipcar offers transportation service its business model/strategy in the first place is the car-sharing concept. Secondly, according to Ansoff’s Matrix framework, Zipcar business strategy is market development as long as the company offered existing product to a new geographic market. Chase and Danielson recognized the implicit need in a new market for already existing product/service on time and went for it. Zipcar was designed to offer car-sharing idea which evoked and brought that same hidden...

...China research – Bullet 5 Demographics Political and legal environment in China make it very volatile for business outside of the country. China is undergoing massive urbanisation with millions (160m) of people moving from rural to urban environments. However the mass industrialisation comes with a lot of pollution costs. The urbanisation is pushing up consumption per person but also increasing income per person. Population in China is suspected to reach 1 billion by 2030. The scale and pace of China's urbanization continues at an unprecedented rate. If current trends hold, China's urban population will hit the one billion mark by 2030. In 20 years, China's cities will have added 350 million people more than the entire population of the United States today. By 2025, China will have 221 cities with one million–plus inhabitants—compared with 35 cities of this size in Europe today—and 23 cities with more than five million. For companies in China and around the world, the scale of China’s urbanization promises substantial new markets and investment opportunities. Yet the expansion of China's cities will represent a huge challenge for local and national leaders. Of the slightly more than 350 million people that China will add to its urban population by 2025, more than 240 million will be migrants. This growth will imply major pressure points for many cities including the challenge of managing these expanding populations, securing sufficient public funding for the provision of social...

...from rural areas to urban areas, which usually occurs when a country is still developing. There are many different causes of urbanization. People living in rural areas are drawn to the city, because they often believe that the standard of living in urban areas will be much better. Urbanization has its pros and cons and affects every developing country differently. Three positive effects that urbanization has had on Costa Rica are: Less distances to travel and decrease in transport cost, growth in trade and commerce, and increase community resources. When population is concentrated in cities people have less distance to travel to work and for most other purposes. Urbanization helps the nation's business sector. Rural people come to the urban places with their goods. In Costa Rica growth in trade was a major positive in urbanization, because they are large exporters of bananas, coffee beans, and pineapples to name a few. Inspired by the growth of Los Reyes, multiple residential developments are being built in vast areas. It includes a combination of residential solutions in large areas with other services like a club, swimming pool, golf, tennis and football facilities. Three negative effects that urbanization has had on Costa Rica are: the decrease in rural population, increase in population in urban places, and unemployment increases in urban areas.

...AEP9 – ASSIGNMENT TWO: ESSAY Immoderate expansion of urban area, known as ‘urban sprawl’, becomes a wide-spreading phenomenon in most countries nowadays. This is majorly due to the improvement of mobility at all levels and the great economic benefits lying behind the sprawled urban areas. However, urban sprawl not only degrades the environment and changes global climate, but also generates a number of social problems, such as polarization and inequality. To solve the problems resulting from urban sprawl, many international organizations put technology forward as the most efficient and economically feasible approach. This essay will outline how urban sprawl results in these problems and point out the risks of depending on technologies to address environmental issues as well as its limitation to solve the social ones. In many countries in the world, urban sprawl imposes great stress on both of ecological and social well-being. In the first place, urban sprawl causes a lot of environmental problems. One of the burning issues for the international community is global warming. In order to support the running of current transportation, the utilities to warm or cool spacious houses and household appliances in neighborhoods on the outskirts of cities, energy mainly created by fossil fuels becomes greatly demanded, thus giving rise to higher emissions of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide, which is considered as one of the arch-criminals causing global warming (Gonzalez, 2005)...

...Advantages and disadvantages of city life. Life in the city is not so easy as one can imagine. However, some people say that modern cities are the best thing civilization has produced. Others claim that cities are not fit for living. There are a lot of pluses and minuses of living in a city. But what are they? Firstly, in big cities there are a lot of different entertainments such as cinemas, theaters, clubs, and exhibitions.

...Modernization occurs when a society whose structure and purpose was based off of farming and agriculture is faced with a complete or radical change. This changeover takes what once was a simple farming and agricultural community and turns it into an unspiritual, metropolitan and industrialized society. The implementation of new changes and ways required for survival cause traditions to be lost. This paper will examine how modernization has manifested itself in society within the United States, if modernization is likely to continue within the United States or become a world-wide trend. Additionally, this paper will also discuss the consequences of modernization along with advice of the certain and uncertain aspects and perceptions of modernization. Modernization takes place at a gradual rate first with industrialization, then societal changes which cause urbanization and reconstruction of populations. A person often uses the word modernization to convey an image of the progression from a society that was once common to this abreast Western civilization. German sociologist Ferdinand Tönnies’ theory of Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft explains that “Industrial Revolution weakened the social fabric of family and tradition by introducing a businesslike emphasis on facts, efficiency, and money” (Macionis, 2006). The theorist that best reflects my perceptions of modernization through similarities of observations and opinions is Ferdinand Tönnies’ who according to Macionis, viewed modernization...

Handleman 2011, Kruger (2007), Urban Poverty, Mehta is the references have chosen to use to help explain the issue with Employment, Crime and Race in our Urban Communities. Urban crime is a major problem in Latin- America and the African Cities, but East Asia's major urban areas are generally safer than large Americans. Race also plays a role in regards to being poor.

Many of the poor who are unable to find work in the so-called formal sectors of the urban economy (the government and more modern, private-sector enterprise) turn to the informal economy for jobs (Handleman 2011).

...Rural-urban migration, Push and pull factors, Push factors, Pull factors. i. Population Growth: Population growth is one of the main reasons to the urbanization. Fertility rates are largely dependent on economic considerations. As economic wellbeing increases, the fertility level decreases. Security about the future and alternatives to family life in the cities are the main reasons for this decrease Education level has similar effect as economic wellbeing to the fertility rates. For example in Taiwan and South Korea, rising education level has resulted in smaller families, and population growth has fallen by half.
