A Better Lacombe: A Beautiful Community

A Beautiful Community
Lacombe is a truly beautiful town, with kind, welcoming people who show outstanding amounts of citizenship. However, as with any large community, it has some things I believe we could make even more exceptional.
For example; the county of Lacombe has some lacking. The roads in winter are left unplowed and unattended. Police aren't as vigilant in the hamlets and small villages as they could be. The city and the country hardly interact, if only for social events, or school.
I see a better Lacombe. A Lacombe were city and country people are familiar on the streets, were country people can feel included in the city sprawl.
One sure way to do this is to increase business in Lacombe. More business leads to more people, thus

    After World War II, metropolitan sprawl began to take place and a large scale. A number of factors contributed to the phenomenon, such as new more advance forms of communication, wide access to improved forms of transportation, and, most importantly, a boom in population after the conclusion of the war. However, a number of issues emerged from metropolitan growth and sprawl. One issue that arises from metropolitan grow is inequality of services and living in different areas.

    The Midwest, a place in the world where communities are closely aligned to one another. These small, rural communities rely on every person in order to create that community. It seems as though that knowing everyone around the small communities was what made a person successful in life. Additionally, these communities valued hard-work and honesty when it came with almost everything they did in their lives; whether it was working in the farmlands or spreading information throughout the communities about certain people to look out for, it was hard to be anonymous inside the city. Unfortunately, there are sometimes citizens that do not look forward to that kind of lifestyle.…

    I am writing to discuss some concerns I have about Lacombe and surrounding areas. Concerning Tourism and culture I do not think there is much of either. Lacombe’s best feature is probably the small coffee shops and most likely the most touristy spots. Of course, there is only a few of these and when someone says tourist hot spots you don’t really think of Lacombe or the surrounding areas of Lacombe. Lacombe, Red Deer, Edmonton etc. are more places to live rather than tour so we are not getting much income from that department, I think if we spruced up some of these areas we might earn some more money from tourists.…

    Mystic River and Sense of Place The film “Mystic River” is a tale not only of murder and intrigue, but that of urban crime and the sense of place that can be found in a neighborhood. The film dealt with many complex social issues, but underlying all of these issues was the neighborhood the story originated in, and the effect it had on the characters of the film. This film presents a powerful message about sense of place and the importance and occasional negative effects of having an attachment to a particular neighborhood or city.…

    This allows Larson to show his readers a contrast of the city 's appearance of the White city and the Dark City. The people of Chicago live in the Dark City that contained smoke, garbage, manure, and dead animals; therefore, when visitors walk into the White City they are amazed at the beauty that they have not fully realized was even possible. Larson further juxtaposes the setting with stating that “The White City had drawn men and protected them; the Black City now welcomed them back, on the eve of winter, with filth, starvation, and violence” (Larson 323.) This allows the readers to understand the contrasting effects the cities have towards each other. Knowing how safe and protected they were in the White City the people of Chicago did not want to back to the terror they felt back in the Black City.…

    Durkheimian Analysis of Heat Wave Six hundred and fifty-eight. This is the number of American citizens who suffer from heat-related deaths each year.1 To put that into perspective, it is coincidentally the exact number of students suffering in Virginia Tech’s air-condition-lacking Slusher Residence Hall.2 During the summer of 1995, Chicago was hit with one of the deadliest heat waves on record. In the nine-day span of July 12 to 20, more than seven-hundred weather-related deaths were recorded.3 Through research for his 2002 book, Heat Wave: A Social Autopsy of Disaster in Chicago, Eric Klinenberg discovered a direct connection between a neighborhood’s poverty level and heat-related body count.4 This realization opens the door for an even greater…

    In the first chapter of his 1989 book The Great Good Place: Cafe’s, Coffee Shops, Bookstores, Bars, Hair Salons and Other Hangouts at the Heart of the Community, sociologist Ray Oldenburg argues that Americans are unhappy because they lack that third place, which, is in the middle of work and home life. The central cause is that we don’t have those shared places and the consequences are a result that we lose knowledge of manners and social interaction. Oldenburg argues that we don’t have a place to go and let out our stress because, either we go to work and add more stress. Then we go home and all we do is put all our emotion on the family and rely on them for everything but, that breaks down a family and is asking too much. A major effect…
