Case study #1 Britain - the building of an empire (Artifact 10-The rural exodus)

Push or Pull

-Brain storming
What makes city life difficult? What problems we faced now?
At that time, Poverty, chore, failure of cultivating, unemployment was the main reason.
Because of declining employment in rural areas, it's natural then the collapse of rural industries will happen.
The problems could be happened by the rural life are these.First of all, they can't enjoy their cultural life. The cultural facilities that help people enjoy and improve, develop their culture are too far apart from the rural area.
Next, the education problem could be the good example. There are no academy or even school better than capital's. Capital could contain the major point of everything.

What causes and effects of Urbanization?

What is Urbanization? Urbanization is the process of creating towns in country areas. How does the urbanization affected by the setting of the 19^th century? The urbanization during 19^th century would most likely be received with positive and negative criticism. The urbanization may certainly cause problems for the U.K. in form of destruction of environment, cultural lag. However, I believe that the benefits of urbanization will far outweigh the problems it may cause by creating revitalization, and public opinion, export growth.

19^th century of England was accelerated by the infinite improvement of the technology. So we called, the industrial revolution; made the declining employment by the machinery. As the development of the machinery, the problem about the unemployment got serious. Even though the industrial revolution made the decline employment which shows the collapse of rural industries, in the end of the industrial revolution’s period, the urbanization was accelerated by the building of new factories. That appeared the development of technology during the industrial revolution. The news of the building of new factories would be expected for “shot in the arm.” Furthermore, globalization could be organized by the export growth. Hence, the revitalization can be appeared for urbanization. The effect about the improvement of technology during industrial revolution promoted the revitalization.

How does the cultural life be defined? Cultural life can be defined as that enjoying the culture fruit, trying to realize the value of the culture. A top priority that the people who lives in the city could have is that they could experience the prestigious cultural life. Why do people highly wish to experience the modern life? The people who had been experienced the cultured life may feel self-contentment by the well-known cultural life. What could be included during 19^th century? The romanticism or realism art could be representative for the cultural life during the 19^th century.

The population isolation, which treated as the negative criticism, can be accepted the beginning of the socialization. It’s natural to hapen the isolation after the rural exodus by the period. how can the socialization be started from the population isolation? People lives and coexists together, that makes the better public opinion. Even though the population isolation could be negative criticism for some aspects, however, by assembling population integrates people for the social society.

In conclusion, the urbanization may cause a few problems related to the population, cultural lag, air pollution. Although the pastoral nature and the rustic charm of the country are simply appealing for many people, I am strongly in flavor of urbanization for satisfying one’s desires.
