Abstract
In characterizing rural America, often false assumptions are made. The myth of a close-knit community and extended family structures should first be dispelled. As a transient society, not everyone in a typical rural community knows each other. Neighborly visits, once prevalent in rural areas, are no longer characteristic. With the trend of accepting second and sometimes third jobs, often out-of-town workers leave early in the morning and arrive home after dark.
