¶ … Southern and Midwestern States
Comparison and Contrast: Southern and Midwestern States
The Southern and Midwestern states are very different in terms of their physical characteristics, their economic and agricultural bases, and their urbanization. For people moving from one place to the other, or doing business in states where they are not familiar, this can be a bit of culture shock. The look and "feel" of the areas are quite different, prompting people from one area to often have misconceptions about what life is like in another area. Here it is important to address the actual differences, to create a clearer picture of the Southern and Midwestern states, along with their differences and similarities.
Physically, the geography of the Southern and Midwestern states is both similar and different. While the Southern states have humidity virtually all year round, and Midwestern states are drier, overall. Both areas have a high level of vegetation, but a person will not likely see snow in the...
That is much more common in the Midwestern part of the country. The actual characteristics of the land are different, as well. Southern states have more pine and palm trees, while the Midwestern states generally do not. Additionally, many of the more Southern states are quite flat, and the Midwestern states are more hilly and mountainous. While the Southern states have mostly dirt and sand as a soil base, there are more rocky in the Midwestern part of the country. The differences may sound subtle, but they are actually quite noticeable when it comes to a person who moves or visits from one area to the other.
Because of the differences in climate and landscape, the agricultural products that are farmed in the two regions are also different. In the Southern states, there are large quantities of tobacco, soybeans, and cotton grown, along with peanut crops. In the Midwest, there is more corn and other types of grain grown, and there are larger numbers of livestock raised by farmers and ranchers…
O Brother, Where Art Thou? Homer in Hollywood: The Coen Brothers' O Brother, Where Art Thou? Could a Hollywood filmmaker adapt Homer's Odyssey for the screen in the same way that James Joyce did for the Modernist novel? The idea of a high-art film adaptation of the Odyssey is actually at the center of the plot of Jean-Luc Godard's 1963 film Contempt, and the Alberto Moravia novel on which Godard's film is
Psychoanalysis Study Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and Tennessee Williams' a Cat on a Hot Tin Roof Words communicate ideas but beautiful words live forever and may keep telling a different story every time. The English literature has a rich heritage of dramas and plays that are often written in early or mid-20th century yet they are as applicable today as they were at the time these were written. The
Some of the reasons why Hyundai relocated to Alabama State of the U.S.A. include the failure that she suffered in Korea. With the influx of cheap imported cars and the violent nature of the labor unions in Korea, the company had started to suffer serious decline in profits; this necessitated the move to look for other alternatives of operation. This landed the company in the U.S. As the revolution of
Changes (Global, National, Region, Local, and Farm) Source: Smith (2006) In the work entitled: "Climate Change and Agriculture" a brochure prepared for the UK Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food written by Muriel, Downing, and Hulme, et al. In Section 4: Impact of Climate Change on Crops report findings that: 1) Elevated temperature increased their rate of grain growth but shortened the duration of grain filling; 2) Higher temperatures may have decreased the availability of
As a result, more small town police departments today have access to online resources and law enforcement networks. Not surprisingly, these innovations have provided small town police departments with access to the same level of online resources as their larger urban counterparts. For instance, a seminal study by Wasby (1975) found that there was a lack of communication of important Supreme Court decisions to small town police departments. The
According to Bales, 1999, the concept behind SYMLOG is that "every act of behavior takes place in a larger context, that it is a part of an interactive field of influences." Further, "the approach assumes that one needs to understand the larger context -- person, interpersonal, group, and external situation -- in order to understand the patterns of behavior and to influence them successfully." With SYMLOG, measurement procedures are
