Answer 4

this is simply the 'village' affect. it is a natural recourse of humans to seek recourse in the company of others. this is to both nourish the need for social interaction and to find useful work. work is found by offering labour or skills to  others so when  you have a group  of people with needs it is easier to find labour etc to fulfil those needs in a group. if we expand this reasoning we get larger groups. more needs , more labour and skills available to meet those needs and thus we have a fully functioning town. it slowly increases to become a city etc. by not having to travel  too far it is much easier to function  therefore it is a mutual function of  groups of people to assist with work needs etc in a close location not having to search far and wide. thus man will always  gather in an urbanisation affect.

People in lower classes are willing to work for lower pay. Thats why alot of businesses sell out to the middle east, because they don't have to pay the workers as much. Members of the lower class tend to need jobs more than middle and upper class people.
