Answer to Question 1

Poverty rates in rural areas dominated by agricultural production have increased in recent decades. In order to be profitable, farms require a vast number of acres and technology not typically affordable for individuals. Thus, while most farms are still small, they also make relatively little money and the majority of farm owners are not able to make ends meet simply by farming. The lack of sustainable, family owned, farms has augmented the growing concerns of poverty in rural areas.

Answer to Question 2

The U.S. is facing more daunting prospects for upward social mobility now than it has in some time. While many people still believe that it is possible to make it in America, the reality is that we have far fewer opportunities when compared to our own recent history or to other countries around the world. Many European nations have levels of relative mobility that far outpace our own.
