Mill town

The major aspect of a large metropolis is the fact that it encompasses various activities ranging from personal to social. Actually, most of it involves having to sacrifice their distinctiveness in an endeavor to fit in such scenarios. However, Georg Simmel portrays a different side of a large metropolis, whereby it does not only influence the emotional aspects of its occupants, but also their cognitive lives. Moreover, the hustle and bustle of such cities bring impacts most individual’s sense…

I grew up in the small town of Logan, Ohio. It was where most people lived in the country, people were always working outside, and everyone got along. Most people were of the same culture so we related to each other pretty well. Growing up in the country has impacted my life and made me the person I am today. Even though Logan was a small town, it has a lot of history to it. As of right now, it is like a ghost town. All the big buildings are empty and we have very few restaurants. Logan is…

Warram Percy is one of the largest deserted medieval village in the middle age. Located in North Yorkshire, England; the village has been settled since prehistory (Bronze Age) and became very active during 10th-12th century when the members of the noble family Percy lived in the village. The Percy began the building of the South Manor, the foundation of the adjacent planned row of peasant houses, and improvements to the church. Then they further improved the village by building the North Manor…

analyzing the map I realized that the map only showed two major towns, but there are more than two major towns in Kentucky. It only shows Louisville and Lexington as the two major towns. I do not know if the reason for that is because that is where the two main Colleges are located University of Kentucky and University of Louisville or what. I know for a fact that Bowling Green is a major town as well as Elizabeth Town. Elizabeth Town is the town that Fort Knox is located. Another disadvantage…

My city is located alongside a major river and is surrounded by farmland. We have three sections or school districts in our city, and a transportation system radiating from the center, and connecting everyone anywhere they would go. Our city runs on hydrogen fuel cell powered buses and natural gas. Apartments, small businesses and parks are placed around the center of the city with a bike trail along the riverside. I am most proud of the walkability of the city. Because we have green space…

Traditions and Small-Town Values Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” is a shocking tale of tradition and the horrifying results when are taken to the extreme. The author’s word choice, setting, and overall tone used in conveying the story sends a powerful message to the reader. The style and diction used by Jackson to create a familiar and comforting setting and tone in her tale of senseless violence both brings the violence of human nature closer to home and reveals the darker nature of tradition,…

Mayor Mitch Landrieu of New Orleans and Karl Dean of Nashville. These are top rated politicians who did a lot for their suburbs and cities alike- in their own state. So why not “Summons” them to a lunch to obtain wisdom of developments-on unity in our town? It is hard to disagree with such a touching topic as this. Although, it can be picked apart, I feel as though it is not my duty. There is not enough writing of the article. There should have been more writing on such an important topic. Also,…

Big City Girl, Small Town Woman Jennifer, or Jen as some like to call her, was born July 24th, 1970, in the Chicago suburb of Bolingbrook, Illinois. Jen Townsend was the name she grew up with through out her high school and college career, but on October 7th, 1995, her life changed when she married David Claeys, a man from a town smaller than the size of her entire high school. They met at Western Illinois University, where she attended college, and majoring in business. After about three years…

environments, the reality is that victims of IPV reside in all communities, big and small. Even though there are resources available for victims of IPV to turn to, accessing these resources is extremely difficult for many Americans. While the idea of small town living and open fields may bring peace to some, it also brings terror to the thousands of victims of IPV in these communities. Being a victim of IPV while living in a rural community presents many unique challenges that cannot even be…

Over the course of the semester I have been volunteering with American Public Square. I have completed around eleven hours so far and have been helping at events hosted by the group. At events I have helped attendants find seats, passed out programs, collected questions from the audience, tracked demographics, and cleaned up once attendees have left. While my acts have seemed small to me, those putting on the programs have said these little things amount to a large burden off their shoulders.…
