Using the outline below and the resources provided, find at least 2 more resources and write a research paper about the interaction between cultural techniques and infrastructure in different areas across the United States. Use examples to convey the information you find.
Overview:
Examining the interaction between infrastructure and cultural techniques. How does the infrastructure in a certain area affect the cultural techniques used by its residents and the opposite as well? How do the cultural traditions and actions in a community affect the infrastructure that is installed and how does it function? The examination will cover the many facets of cultural identities and infrastructure that are used most in the communities.
Main Points & Supports:
Infrastructure can benefit from integrating a perspective on cultural techniques
E.j. Racism in the 1950s caused separate infrastructure to be constructed for whites and colored people. Such infrastructure has been re-purposed to eliminate the racist separation and more efficiently function.
Common ground between infrastructure and culture can be found in media theory
Media theory is defined by the effect of utilizing new media. As new media is created, more efficient infrastructure is able to be constructed and used to its fullest potential.
Infrastructure in New York is different than that of Kansas, which is reflected the culture of both places
People in New York are much more densely populated than people in Kansas, therefore, people in New York are much more likely to use public transportation because of the lack of space to store vehicles safely at residences and park at places of business.
When is infrastructure noticed and changed?
Infrastructure is noticed when it malfunctions
Infrastructure is changed when a malfunction has occurred and is causing social upset, therefore causing cultural change and development.
During a global pandemic, infrastructure must adapt due to the cultural change forced upon citizens by the inability to be face-to-face with others.
How can infrastructure be built to withstand the changes in culture over time?
