Vocabulary
First, it's important to remember the definitions of key terms within this question and my explanation.
- Urbanization - Urbanization is the trend of people moving from rural areas to urban cities. This means that urban cities increase in population, size, and frequency.
- Megacity - Megacities are cities that are examples of urbanization because they are extremely large cities with at least 10 million people.
- Syncretism - Syncretism occurs when people blend their cultures together to create a new culture, language, and/or religion.
Effects of Urbanization
Megacities have only grown in size because of urbanization. This means that more people with new ideas have entered the city. So, this has created new informational hubs. With a population of that size and new people through urbanization, people are able to work with others from different backgrounds which helps create new solutions.
Additionally, megacities are usually also melting pots of different cultures. As urbanization continues, these cultures diffuse further. this means that syncretism can occur. This means that people are exposed to new cultures that can change their views on the world.
Finally, it's important to remember that not all effects of urbanization are positive. Another effect of urbanization, especially in megacities, is pollution. With that many people living in a city, trash and energy consumption are extremely high. This level of pollution can decrease the air quality making it hard to breathe.
Fraud from the Chicago "river vote" gave Kennedy the State of Illinois and the electoral college victory.
"Kennedy won Illinois by less than 9,000 votes out of 4.75 million cast, or a margin of two-tenths of one percent. [16] However, Nixon carried 92 of the state's 101 counties, and Kennedy's victory in Illinois came from the city of Chicago, where Mayor Richard J. Daley held back much of Chicago's vote until the late morning hours of November 9. The efforts of Daley and the powerful Chicago Democratic organization gave Kennedy an extraordinary Cook County victory margin of 450,000 votes—more than 10% of Chicago's 1960 population of 3.55 million—thus barely overcoming the heavy Republican vote in the rest of Illinois. Earl Mazo, a reporter for the pro-Nixon New York Herald Tribune, investigated the voting in Chicago and claimed to have discovered sufficient evidence of vote fraud to prove that the state was stolen for Kennedy.
