2. Cultural diversity

4. Self-sufficiency

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Cultural diversity

The correct answer is Cultural diversity.

• Cultural diversity is NOT an element of rural community.
•  A rural area is an open swath of land that has few homes and population density is low.
• Agriculture is the primary industry in most rural areas. Most people live or work on farms or ranches.
• There are fix rules that a rural community has to behave in a certain way. However, there are broad features which are found common most of the times.
• Some of the elements of rural community-
  • Size of the Community/Territory
  • Density of Population
  • Agriculture is the Main Occupation
  • Close Contact with Nature/Self-sufficiency
  • Homogeneity of Population
  • Social Stratification
  • Social Interaction
  • Social Mobility
  • Social Solidarity (We-feeling)
  • Joint Family
• We-feeling- They celebrate the customs and tradition as a community, unlike just as a family in urban areas. 
• Territory- You will find many rural communities divided in a small area. Different community settlements are found in same rural area.
• Self-sufficiency- They are not dependent on others for food and related activity. They grow fruit and vegetables on their land and live a simple living.
• Cultural diversity is not an element of rural community. The people follow the same tradition, same ethics, same culture. They do the same work and allied activities.
