Explanation / Answer

6) Middle Atlantic "I" house.

7)  Isolation means that 2 populations develop independently from each other. Which means that if they had one culture in the beginning they will end up with (at least) 2 different cultures if the isolation persists long enough. Isolated populations evolve in different directions. This creates different cultures.

8) Folk culture is greatly affected by phsical environment, while popular culture is not.

9)   There is no popular culture that does not rely on transportation and communication to transact popular activities. The role of transportation is to supply the demand and the role of communication is to translate the demand. In this world it is amazing how this works. I worked in the transportation industry most all of my life and I am amazed at the extension and size of the industry. When one fills a warehouse with tissue paper in big giant roles only to turn around the next week and do the same thing because the demand empties the place that fast. If it weren't for communication and transportation there would be no toilet paper for us. Imagine what that would be like.

10)  we are adopting the western culture but our mentality is not changing accordingly. That's why it appears to be decaying. But if we are pursuing western culture we must have western type mentality.

In today's time if girl wear western outfit a boy will see her only with a bad view, which makes the thought that our culture is decaying. But as our culture is very vast and it is just impossible to eradicate it.

So if its few part are changing to western we must bear a mentality for this change so that it will not appear that our culture is affected.
