Today we9re going to discuss the mass urbanization of the world's population, which is an unprecedented trend worldwide. First, Fil focus on two major reasons why people are moving to cities. (1) Well, the first reason is economic. People are moving to the cities because that's where they can find jobs and earn money. Jobs now are being created in information technology, manufacturing and service areas, such as tourism and financing. And all of these new jobs are in or around major cities. (2) The second reason for the move to cities has to do with the quality of life: comfort and convenience. For example, most of us would like our children to receive a good education, and cities often offer better schools. (3) And then for many, city life is just more comfortable. There are transportation networks, shops, and places of entertainment. Now Fd like to identify three key changes in our cities. First of all, they're getting bigger and bigger. For the first time in history, there will soon be more people living in urban areas than in rural environments. Most cities are bigger now than ever before. (4) For the first time in the history of society, we now have many cities with populations of over ten million people一what we call mega-cities. And experts say that the number of mega-cities will increase in the future. (5) Cities are not just getting bigger, they9re also changing their shapes. They're getting taller, because land is getting more and more expensive. So instead of having a few big houses on a piece of land, we can have a tall apartment building that a thousand people can live in. All of you can probably think of buildings or parks or stores that have been torn down to make room for bigger, taller, or more modern buildings. (6) Skyscrapers have become a symbol of modern cities. (7) The third change is that our cities are breaking up into smaller communities, often by ethnic groups or income levels. Of course, many cities do have a kind of identity or personality, but a city is not homogeneous. For example, migrants to the cities often want to live in their own communities or with people from a similar cultural background. Another example is that if you are moving from a smaller community to a city, you will be most likely to move close to friends or family members, who will help you get a job or give you support. (8) However, this often means that people stay within their community and do not come into contact with others from different backgrounds. The biggest challenge facing us now is to improve the quality of life in cities, because sadly, they don't always offer the economic security, the safety, or the comfort they promise. (9) Many cities have slum areas or ghettos, where people live in dangerous or poverty-stricken conditions. The beautiful architecture and vibrant nightlife are one face of the city. (10) But cities also have problems of inequality, crowdedness, and poverty. OK, that's all for today's lecture. See you next week.The Mass Urbanization of the World's Population I.

There are many things that make up a culture. In fact, there arc so many things about our lives that make up part of the culture we belong to that there is no way to cover them all here. Therefore, we will concentrate on only three aspects of culture in this unit. They are language, folklore and holiday. Simply, language is what people and animals use to communicate their thoughts, ideas and feelings. Of course, animals communicate with each other differently than humans, and each type of animals communicates differently. Like animals, people also use different languages. Each culture has its own words and symbols used by people within that culture to communicate with others in the same culture. Unlike animals though, some cultures use more than one language.(2)People within these cultures are said to be either bilingual or multilingual. (3)Not only do people use different languages to communicate, but languages also have different dialects. A dialect is a variation of a language that uses words and grammar somewhat differently from the standard form of the same language. There are also some people who don't use a spoken language at all. These people use their hands to communicate.(4)This type of language is called sign language and is most commonly used by people who are deaf. (5)Folklore is a body of stories that reflect a culture's beliefs, traditions and values._(6)Often the characters in folktales are real people. When a folktale tells of the actions of a real person, its purpose is to reveal some admired quality of that person's character. Other folktales use characters that are larger than life to pass on truths that are valued by the culture. Folktales have been told for centuries, and all cultures have them. At one time, all folklore was part of an oral tradition and was passed on by word of mouth.(7)Today, folklore finds its way into poetry, song lyrics and fables. A holiday is a day made special by a culture's customs or laws.(8)Holidays help a culture remember and honor its history. Each culture has its own traditions of recognizing and celebrating these special days.(9)People may attend parades, sing songs, go for a picnic or give gifts to each other on certain holidays. Some holidays are peculiar to a culture. Other holidays, like Christmas and Thanksgiving, are celebrated by many cultures around the world.(10)The best-known religious holiday is Christmas. In most parts of the world, Christmas is a time of happy festivities. People decorate Christmas trees with ornaments and lights and give each other gift. Families gather for large dinners that consist of turkey, ham, dressing, yams and other holiday fare. They also attend church and give thanks to the Jesus Christ, who was bom as the savior of the world.Culture There are many things about our lives that make up a culture.1.
