Changes

Over time the makeup of the earth has become more urban.  In the United States, while urbanization has increased over time, there has also been a parallel trend towards moving away from urban areas to suburban or rural locations since urban areas have many issues from crowding, to [[crime]], to pollution.  As with many things, where one lives is often a sign of [[social status]] and cultural stand.  There is a tendency for so-called urbanites to be more liberal, and more suburbanites to be more conservative.  But like all things, this is merely a tendency and does not mean any given person who lives in a particular area will be liberal or conservative, religious or non-religious, etc.
