Answer:

This is a study guide with multiple parts related to social science concepts (population, migration, urbanization, globalization). Since you haven't specified a particular sub - question to solve, here are some general guidelines for answering these types of questions:

Part 2 (Term Explanations)

For "Infrastructure" (from the first sentence)

• Explanation: In the context of suburban community growth, infrastructure refers to the basic physical and organizational structures (like roads, water supply systems, sewage systems, schools, and public transportation) that a community needs to function. Without good infrastructure, a growing suburban area can't support its increasing population—for example, roads might become overcrowded, water supply might be insufficient, and there won't be enough schools or hospitals.

For "Opportunity" (from the second sentence)

• Explanation: In the context of immigration, opportunity here means the chance to improve one's life. Old - wave immigrants were attracted to the US because they saw chances to own land (which was a way to build wealth and stability), and to participate in government (which gave them a voice in the society they were joining and a chance to have political influence).

For "Urban sprawl" (from the third sentence)

• Explanation: Urban sprawl is the uncontrolled expansion of urban (and suburban) areas into rural or natural areas. In the given context, it's shown to have negative impacts like more pollution (because of increased vehicle use and industrial or residential development), more traffic (as more people move into these expanded areas and need to commute), loss of agricultural land (since land is taken for housing, businesses, etc. instead of farming), and loss of natural areas (like forests, wetlands that are developed over).

For "Dependent" (from the fourth sentence)

• Explanation: In the context of globalization, when nations became dependent on one another, it means that they relied on other countries to produce goods and services that their own people wanted. For example, a country might not be able to produce a certain type of electronics efficiently, so it imports them from another country that specializes in that production. And in return, the importing country might export goods that it produces well (like agricultural products) to the country it imports from.

Part 3 (Concept Questions)

Question 5: How did Avon’s population demographics (age, economic status, diversity) change since 1990?

• Explanation: To answer this, you would need to research or recall data about Avon's population. Generally, over time, in many suburban areas:
• Age: There might be an increase in the number of older adults as the population ages, and also a change in the number of children (maybe an increase if the area is growing and attracting families, or a decrease if young people move away for jobs/education).
• Economic status: If the area is developing, there might be an increase in the number of people with higher economic status as more businesses come in and property values rise, but there could also be a segment of the population with lower economic status if there are service jobs or if housing becomes less affordable for some.
• Diversity: Suburban areas often become more diverse over time as people from different ethnic, racial, and cultural backgrounds move in, either for job opportunities or a better quality of life.

Question 6: What challenges are associated with urban sprawl? How do we see these in Avon’s population growth?

• Explanation:
• Challenges of urban sprawl: As mentioned before, pollution (water and air), increased traffic, loss of agricultural land, loss of natural areas, and also strain on public services (like schools, hospitals, and police/fire departments having to cover larger areas).
• In Avon’s population growth: If Avon has experienced urban sprawl, you might see increased traffic on local roads, longer commute times, maybe some areas with water or air quality issues (like runoff from new developments affecting water sources, or more vehicle emissions), loss of farmland around Avon, and maybe overcrowded schools or longer response times for emergency services as the area has expanded.

Question 7: What are the major differences between Old Immigrants and New Immigrants?

• Explanation:
• Old Immigrants (generally before the late 19th/early 20th century): Mostly came from Northern and Western Europe (like Ireland, Germany, England). They were often more likely to be Protestant (in religious terms), and many had skills or money to start businesses or buy land. They also faced less nativist (anti - immigrant) sentiment initially, though that changed over time.
• New Immigrants (late 19th/early 20th century and more recent waves): Came from Southern and Eastern Europe (like Italy, Poland, Russia) and more recently from Asia, Africa, and Latin America. They were more likely to be Catholic, Jewish, or non - Christian (in the earlier new wave), and often had less money or skills initially, and faced more nativist opposition. In more recent times, new immigrants also come from a wider variety of countries and have different cultural and language backgrounds.

Question 8: What are 2 examples of push factors and 2 examples of pull factors?

• Explanation:
• Push factors are conditions that drive people away from their home country. Examples include war (like the Syrian civil war driving people to leave Syria), and lack of job opportunities (in a country with high unemployment, people may leave to find work elsewhere).
• Pull factors are conditions that attract people to a new country. Examples include better job opportunities (like the US having more high - tech jobs attracting workers from other countries), and political freedom (people fleeing countries with oppressive governments to countries with more democratic systems).

Question 9: What has happened to the percentage of urban population in the United States since 1800?

• Explanation: Since 1800, the percentage of the urban population in the US has increased dramatically. In 1800, most Americans lived in rural areas (farming or small rural communities). With the Industrial Revolution, people moved to cities for factory jobs. Over time, as industries grew, and then with suburbanization (which is still part of urban - related growth), the percentage of people living in urban (and suburban) areas has gone from a small fraction (less than 10% in 1800) to over 80% today.
