Rural culture

The Rural Cemetery Movement With rapidly growing urban populations in the mid-1800’s, it was important to develop healthy, green, spaces for city dwellers. The Rural Cemetery Movement encouraged American cities to use cemetery space as multi-functional space for leisure, recreation, environmental preservation, and for healthy burial practices (Lundgren). "In a country sorely lacking in public green spaces, these cemeteries provided these graceful, elegant places…They were all around…

Minnesota, which is an hour and a half south of the cities. Rochester, as I see it, is a city within a rural area. My definition and your definition of rural are two completely different things. Thus, when you first asked us to describe three words that we thought of when we heard the term rural I put down: Farm, Farmer, and Corn. Up to that moment that is all I really thought of when it came to rural. I think this can be traced back to the towns surrounding Rochester. This brings me back to my…

Living in a country or in the city has both good sides and bad sides. By choosing one place for living we give up from something else. Both the country and the city have different life and different habbits, but both have something to offer, whether is good or bad.

as one. As one of my favorite quotes by Scoot King states, that ‘The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members and families”. Family is a complex word to define, because it differs from culture to culture and society to society within one country. One definition provided by White paper on families defines family as “a societal group that is related by blood (kinship), adoption, foster care or the ties of marriage (civil, customary or…

Culture in America From the reading provided, I agree with most of the topics discussed about culture in the United States. Although America is a continually changing and adapting society, most of our traditions stay the same. The way we talk, eat, and visit with one another are common to the way society has functioned for previous generations. Despite small changes, these ways of life are common grounds for many people to interact and communicate. The changing family dynamic description was…

The readings, “Understanding Other Cultures” and “Anthropology and Intercultural Relations” are based around understanding other cultures and how we can benefit from studying outside of our “norm.” By learning what shapes human behavior in different cultures, we can increase our cultural understanding.

is usually associated with the nature for instance the landscape and the wild. In short, a rural tourism is actually a form of ecotourism. Although in the journal it was mentioned that in some other countries, rural tourism is also known as farm tourism (also agritourism and agrotourism), the two is not to be confused because they are two different things, whereby the latter is only a subcategory of rural tourism.
