Introduction
The Early American Colonist faced different challenges and led a different lifestyle depending on where in the country they lived. These variances ranged from schooling, to terrain, to the crops they planted and the climate they endured.
The Farming Communities
Farming was essential to all of the regions. Large-scale farming was better for the South. The climate there was warmer and the soil was richer. Tobacco and rice were grown on large plantations to be exported to Britain. Each plantation was like a small village. The owners of the plantations were the "mayor, judge, sheriff, preacher, doctor, lawyer and storekeeper (unknown, 1996)." There was a blacksmith, cobbler, tanner and carpenter on each plantation. The wood used by the carpenter and blacksmith came from the trees on the plantations. The wood was used by the blacksmith to make hot coals necessary in making horseshoes and ironware. Thread for weaving cloth was made from...
Cattle and sheep were raised for wool, milk, meat and leather (unknown, 1996). Some plantation owners became so rich they didn't wear homemade clothes, but imported fine clothes from Britain.
In contrast to the rich soil of the South, New England had rocky, poor soil. Here the farms were small. Instead of growing crops to export, each family grew just enough food for it's needs. The houses here were built in a square, facing a common area of shared land where the livestock grazed. The houses were made of wood or stone. New Englanders rarely bought British goods. The North had great forest and thus the colonist there became fine furniture makers. They also made all of their own tools and clothing. Most of the northern colonist money came from "fishing, shipbuilding, shipping and whaling (unknown, 1996)." Voyages were made up and down the Atlantic coast by trading ships. From the New England ports, whaling ships left for journeys that could last 2 or 3 years.
The most important export for the middle colonies was wheat and thus they became known as the "bread" colonies. The farms here were run by single…

Educational delays can exist for several reasons. People with mental health issues like depression and anxiety are less prone to do things that involve tedious effort. For example, taking surveys may be harder to do versus watching a video. These kinds of people may not feel any motivation to take part in anything, especially answering questions, documenting information, or participating in a survey. Then there are educational delays based on a
Rational choices are limited in this setting, and may merely consist of making the best of the worst available alternatives. The American public is becoming increasingly frustrated with national policymakers who seem to be firing global broadsides but are not able to hit anything. In fact, Butler even questions whether the war on terrorism is a struggle against Osama bin Laden, his Al Qaeda network, and a few similarly minded
However, gender expectations of different nations can impede free and open discussion in intercultural communications, if a particular culture has yet to accept that it is appropriate for women to confidently assume positions of authority. Although cross-cultural communication presents a challenge, globalization has made understanding the difference between high-context and low-context cultures even more vital than ever before. Implied meanings in different cultures have different levels of signification, based upon
