The study showed increased activity in the Broca’s area of the brain in both men and women during these tasks as expected by researchers. The Broca’s area of the brain is located on the left side of the brain. In the same study‚ over half the women that were examined had some activity on the left and right sides of their brain.

In addition to recognizing written and spoken language‚ the angular gyrus which is superior to the Wernicke area functions in reading and writing (3). The Wernicke area is also involved in creating a plan of speech to the Broca area (3). The Broca area prepares the steps necessary for motor skills of the facial muscles to

Urbanisation first occurred in MEDCs during the industrial revolution that took place in Europe and North America in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Since 1950‚ urbanisation has been rapidly occurring in LEDCs and nowadays‚ the rate of urbanisation in LEDCs‚ for example‚ in South America‚ Africa and Asia‚ is greater than in MEDCs. As LEDCs are developing more people are migrating to urban areas. In Bangalore‚ India‚ for example‚ 58% of

Urban sprawl‚ the uncontrolled expansion of urban areas‚ has slowed down by 9% since the 1990s (Borenstein). Urban sprawl was steadily increasing starting in 1920 due to new street construction and it peaked in 1994. Despite the belief that urban sprawl is the result of a healthy economic and social process‚ urban sprawl needs to be restricted and eventually stopped. Urban sprawl is rapidly expanding‚ destroying wildlife‚ and causing a rise in pollution and disease. Urban sprawl has come to be fairly
