The Value of Rural Life in American Culture

William Howarth

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1996, vol. 12, issue 01

Abstract: The image that people have had of rural areas is one largely fashioned by the residents of cities, who have seen the countryside as the often welcome antithesis of urban life. Rural life is no longer the predominant one in America, but its influence is still seen in city parks, suburban yards, and the recreational activities of urban people. Rural values provide stability against the rapid change of modern life.
