1. There is no school close to rural area, Their childrens have to stay home to help their mom to work and get water, And there is no job.

2.Spatial inequality is the difference between poor and rich people in the same place or the same city.

3. I think that it (the government) should try to help the poor peolple in mexico and to make an urban area where there is a rural area.

4. I think they are important to Guatemala because the indegenous are part of them.

5. I think we should keep our tradition, religion and celebration because we need to used what we like and almost all the celebration are the same in other countries.

1. There aren't enough schools and small farmers loose treir lands to banks. 2. The difference en the standar 'd of living of poor and rich people. 3. Construir varias casas o apartamentos especialmente para esas personas y darle cupones para su alimentacion algo de dinero para sus necesidades y construir una escuela para las personas de esa area.

4. significa sobrevivir juntos en una asienda poque no tienen recursos y es tan importante parala poblacion indigena de guatemala por que lo que le sobra es decir el extra lo venden para ganar dinero.

5. Para mi es importante porque pienso que las tradiciones, celebraciones, cuentos, musicas y religiones son parte de el pais en que se usa por eso yo pienso que es importante guardar nuestras tradiciones.

1) Cuandolos gefas de empresas no produce mucho dinero y tiene que desepedir empleados.
2) Cuando Rico y Pobres viben en una misma ciudad.
3) People working together to share food.
4) Because they need to work in group.
5) Es para recordar nuestro pasado y para saber mas de nosotros.

Morelia,

You wrote your comment on the wrong section!!!

Here it is:

1 RURAL DECLINE: is when happens when people loose their jobs,there arent enough schools and small farmers loose their lands to banks.

2 SPATIAL INEQUALITY: is the difference in the standard of living of poor and rich people so is that no is equal in the same place.

3 Talvez si tienen tieras que no tenga nada de cosecha que hagan vegetales o si no que el govierno diera trabajo y que trabajaran o que el govierno les diera comida.

4 SUBSISTENCE FARMING: people working together to share food and sell.

5 Para que nuestro paiz se mantenga contento y representando sus cosas tradicionales para que los Guatemaltecos estemos orgullosos de sus costumbres.

ATT:Morelia Morales.

Carlos,

The plural of child is not childrens, but children. I am not sure about number 4. You should explain it to me! I really do not understand it! Can you also explain why traditions are important?

Joemar,

This was very rushed and I know that you can do better! If you do not re-do it, you will most likely receive a poor grade. Check your grade online.
