Abstract
This paper explains that the spectacular growth and development of the urban habitation over the past 16 years is just the beginning of a gigantic phase of extension. The author points out that China?s ecological problems from the speedy urbanization and industrialization process in the recent decades generate social effects, causing a great deal of harm to human health, instigating economic and welfare suffering, and harming the environment in both urban and rural areas of China. The paper relates that, because of increasing industrialization and urbanization, the majority of the Indian cities have exceedingly compact habitation that results in overcrowding, clogging, obstruction, traffic jams, air pollution, noise pollution, as well as major deficiencies of vital requirements and necessities of life

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The velocity of urbanization and industrialization was extremely slow prior to the late 1970s when contrasted with other developing states. The proportion of urban inhabitants was 11.2 in 1950, and still barely 17.9 by 1978. This low degree of urbanization had been the consequence from purposeful procedures of restraining rural-urban immigration and urban increase. Economic restructurings have since accelerated the industrialization and urbanization procedures. Large numerals of towns, as well as, cities have surfaced, at the same time as old cities are quickly increasing their managerial spheres."

Abstract
This paper discusses urbanization and rural urban migration in developing countries. In particular, the paper discusses the role that the entrepreneurial class, made up most of rural peasant migrants, has had on China. Basically these individuals are responsible for all of the political and economic changes in China.
From the Paper
"Urbanization and rural-urban migrations are two very closely related phenomena. According to K. Jegasothy in "Population and Rural-Urban Environmental Interactions in Developing Countries," urbanization is conventionally defined as a process of spatial movement of a population towards towns and cities and their resulting expansion" (Jegasothy 1031). Urbanization is the direct result of rural-urban migrations. This is because urbanization is caused by people from rural areas moving into cities and towns. The rate of urbanization and rural-urban migrations has been increasing in recent decades."

Abstract
A brief comparison of the way people live in both China and India. It shows that both countries do not provide equal opportunities for their women - Communism and the caste system. In China the emphasis is on a good education and striving for hard work while in India most of the population is illiterate. The writer suggests that while both countries are densely populated their attitude towards life are very different.
From the Paper
"The cultures of India and China share some similarities, yet are vastly different when answering the question of how ideally a person should live their life. India, as a country, embraces the diversity of their people, and lives peacefully despite the different religions that coexist. The country supports a large population that is estimated at over 1 billion people. The people of India speak thousands of languages, practice nearly every religion imaginable, and oddly enough still incorporate the caste system. China similarly supports a 1-billion+ population, along with social classes, but more emphasis is placed on being male, and receiving higher education. Communism has been a very intrusive government system, which has dramatically influenced the everyday way of life in China."

From the Paper
"This research paper explains how conflicts between rural and urban interests were expressed in Western Asia from the 12th to the 17th centuries. Tensions between those groups increased during the latter period of the Abbasid Caliphate (750-1258) because of the disruption in rural areas caused by the decline of the central power of that dynasty, increasingly onerous taxing policies, a decline in agriculture and the social and economic disruption which occurred due to war and other causes. The Ottoman Empire restored peace and stability to these regions for many centuries, but its rule was sporadically interrupted by provincial, pastoral and rural unrest which assumed serious proportions as the power of the central Ottoman Empire began to decline during the 17th century."

Abstract
In this paper the author outlines the poverty, malnutrition, disease and lack of good agriculture that is abundant in the rural areas of India. He highlights villages where tragedy has occurred. The author proceeds to discuss suggestions of how to improve the plight of these despondent rural areas and gives examples of how to support non-agricultural labor through education programs in order to stimulate and maintain growth elsewhere in rural economies, reducing the reliance upon unreliable environmental conditions present in agriculture. The author also points out that critical both to agriculture and to quality of life in general, are such issues as irrigation, sanitation and medical attention, which he suggests can be addressed by aid organizations. The author suggests ways that these issues can be addressed through government bodies and other charity organizations. In conclusion he states that it is imperative to provide economic stimulus to the country as a whole through increased agricultural output and increased work-force strength both in terms of health and education.

From the Paper
"As is apparent from the models provided in Zimbabwe, Malawi and the Bihar Plateau, support of agriculture is key to addressing both immediate and long-term nutritional needs as well as economic growth of rural areas. Because of the symbiosis present between poverty and under nutrition, short-term measures such as emergency food and water relief are not sufficient to address the problem of under nutrition on an ongoing basis, and chronic use places undue fiscal burden on aid organizations and the Indian government. A more far-sighted and ultimately successful method of resolution incorporates both top-down and bottom-up relief, integrating short-term, immediate relief efforts with long-term, delayed benefit policies."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that when it was first initiated, the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act was intended to make schools accountable for the education of their students. This paper shows, however, that in many school districts, the NCLB Act has had the opposite effect. The first part of this paper looks at the goals and programs mandated by NCLB. The writer then looks at the implications of NCLB for rural school districts. The paper also examines arguments that the NCLB Act will adversely affect the operations of rural schools which have to struggle with budget cuts and a dearth of qualified teachers. It further looks at NCLB's adverse effects on the education of children who are physically - and learning - disabled.
Outline:
No Child Left Behind: An Overview
Demands on School Districts
Issues for Rural School Districts
Children with Disabilities
Alternatives to NCLB
Conclusion
Works Cited
From the Paper
"One of the key features of the No Child Left Behind Act was to ensure that all students must show proficiency in math and reading by the 2013-2014 academic year. School districts must therefore show a yearly progress report towards this goal. This holds true especially for students of English as a second language and those with learning disabilities. School districts that continuously fail to post higher test scores will face sanctions. Principals and teachers in such "underperforming" schools could be suspended, removed or replaced. The No Child Left Behind Act also makes provisions allowing the state government to take over underperforming schools. Additionally, federal funding could be withheld for underperforming schools.

Abstract
This comparison is limited to England, and does not consider the other regions of Great Britain—Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. This paper concentrates on urban culture, and refers to lifestyles, outlooks and social environments in the urban areas of cities such as London, Manchester, Birmingham and Liverpool. Rural culture, as the term is used in this comparison, refers to lifestyles, outlooks, and social environments not only in the villages and farm country of England but also to the same factors prevalent in smaller cities and towns located outside the urban rings surrounding England’s larger cities.
Introduction
The Approach to Comparing and Contrasting Urban and Rural Cultures
The Myth of England?s Rural Edens
Issues and Factors Differentiating Urban and Rural Cultures
Land Use and Control
The Animal Dichotomy
Roaming the Land
Social Factors
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Neither the differences nor the similarities between urban and rural cultures in England may be fully appreciated through the recitation of masses of statistics concerning the proportions of school leavers, the underemployed, the poorly housed, or any of the other macro-statistical of which economists and politicians are so enamoured. Rather, the variations in outlooks on life that drive frequently conflicting goals between urban and rural populations, the intrusion of modern social ills that threaten to engulf urban and rural culture alike, and mythology about the realities of urban and rural life are the more meaningful contexts within which urban and rural cultures in England may be compared and contrasted."

Abstract
Although, certain apologists of colonialism have tried to depict colonial rule and influence as benign and even beneficial for the populations of ?lesser? civilizations, the fact of the matter is that colonization of these countries was done for exploitative (economic), religious and strategic motives. This paper focuses on the problems that the two countries had to endure as a result of the colonial rule or influence, and the similarities and differences between their experiences. Issues such as the transfer of wealth, unfair trade, the opium wars and poverty are covered in the paper.
From the Paper
"Although poverty is still a shocking sight in India today, it was even worse during the colonial period. There were 31 serious famines during 120 years of direct British rule in India compared to 17 in the 2000 years before the British rule. (Mike Davis quoted in The Colonial Legacy). If you think this was due to rapid growth in population, you are wrong?between 1870 and 1910, India?s population grew by 19% while England and Wales?s population grew by 58%. Most eyewitness accounts of India before the British colonization describe India as a rich country. (?From Trade to??). The region is still struggling to climb out of crippling poverty after 200 years of colonial exploitation."

A Contrast of Population Policies in India and China, 2000.

From the Paper
"Overpopulation is perhaps the single most pervading force of today's society. Transcending boundaries of political science, economics, sociology or any other field working with issues relevant to contemporary society, the mathematical certainty of exponential population growth is simple; By the time we begin to sense overpopulation, it is only a short time until the problem reaches mammoth and uncontrollable scale. Particularly in the third world, where resources are scarce, the imperative for action for clear. China and India are the two most heavily populated nations of the world, yet have taken radically different approaches to population control. India has maintained a strictly non-coercive population policy, and indeed the population has skyrocketed. China, on the other hand, has succeeded in curbing the population growth rate quite significantly by taking a much more proactive stance. While pragmatically effective, China's policies are so authoritarian and coercive that they lead to consequences considered simply inhuman by many."

Abstract
This paper focuses on Balzac's depiction of urban vs. rural characters in "Lost Illusions". The writer cites examples from the text to support the argument that Balzac believes that Paris is a corrupting influence on the way of life in the rural French provinces. The paper also examines the novel's main characters in order to support this argument.
From the Paper
"The problem begins with the provincial characters? fascination with Paris. There is within the provinces a certain inferiority complex that leads its citizens to believe that everything in Paris is somehow better than anything in the provinces. In every realm of life provincials try to emulate their Parisian cousins. Thus, it is in an effort to duplicate Parisian society?s elitism with regard to persons from rural areas that Angouleme?s ?society? looks down on citizens from the lower-class town of L?Houmeau. When Lucien says that he has been invited to Madame de Bargeton?s salon, David responds in surprise, ?But there?s a wider gulf of prejudice between you and her than if she were in Pekin and you in Greenland!? Because they fully believe in the superiority of Paris to their own home, the provincials mimic the urban culture, oftentimes resulting in the degradation of their ethics."

Abstract
"The three largest economies in Asia had very different experiences in the world economy from 1850 to 1945. India, an imperial subject of Britain throughout this period, was forced to abandon the production of textiles and most other goods when Britain elected to manufacture these goods and export them instead to its continent-sized colony.
From the Paper
"The three largest economies in Asia had very different experiences in the world economy from 1850 to 1945. India, an imperial subject of Britain throughout this period, was forced to abandon the production of textiles and most other goods when Britain elected to manufacture these goods and export them instead to its continent-sized colony. As a result, India became primarily an exporter of primary products and made only minimal progress toward industrialization. China, though it was no one's colony, was beset by weak governments and periods of extreme political instability. But China suffered a much worse fate than India's because it was subject to the demands of powerful, competing industrialized nations seeking raw materials and markets for their manufactured goods. Japan, however, became one of the industrialized nations and, in addition to exerting ..."
