What is a country house?
This is one type of residential home that is seen in almost every corner of the globe. The style itself varies widely. Frequently the geographic location, climate of the region and habits of the people have a direct bearing on the shape and style of a house in the country. The traditional country houses of this part of the world tend to be very ornate in design. They are generally made entirely out of wood and are hoisted on a ramp to avoid damages due to flooding. Indigenous houses are designed with a spacious patio, separate kitchen and bathrooms. The families use the patio as an open air living room.

Country dwellings are built using wood and bamboo. Intricate designs are made all over the outer walls and staircases. Sometimes the roof is thatched and at other times they too are carved from wood. Rumah Limas, very common in Indonesia, is also seen in various parts of the country.

Protective measures against possible natural disasters
If your house is located in a flood prone area, invest in such materials that are not going to deteriorate under such condition. Install flood alarms in the basement. It would be better to build your house on a raised ground. If it is a bamboo or wooden structure, you must also take due precaution against
Native American architecture varies greatly from region to region throughout North America, and was influenced by factors such as climate, kind of community, and the natural environment. Whereas some buildings were designed and constructed for specified functions, others, such as Anasazi great houses, were massive multi-purpose structures. Because great houses from Chaco Canyon are so well preserved, it is possible to have a decent understanding of the structure of Anasazi architecture for analysis. A close examination of the innovative Anasazi great house architecture of the Chaco Canyon region reveals its utilitarian value.
A mix of housing age, old houses ( 40-100 years old predominant) and new housing developments
The navajo indians had lived in what is called a hogan. It is a structure made of sticks and dirt and is manly used for insulation.
The Pomo Indians used nearby trees, such as redwoods, to build their homes. They would take a center pole and pile thick pieces of bark against it. These homes were small, usually 8-10 feet tall. These homes were not portable, but they were small and easy to build. (native-languages.org). Among the Indian tribes who lived here were the Miwoks and the Pomos.-Emerson
The Iroquois used nature and their natural resources to provide shelter. The Iroquois made their homes called longhouses from what was around them. In Document #1 it states that they made their homes from sticks and bark, the plant fibers. No scrap of material was ever wasted, it was always used for something else.
The Catawba also had a special nickname for themselves, which was the “river people”. The villages were strongly protected. Homes that the Catawba Indians lived in were called wigwams. These houses were generally made out of sapling trees for the main frame of the house. The roofs of these wigwams were made of bark and grasses. In addition, every Catawba village had one council home. The council home was like a modern-day city hall where the leaders of the village would meet and create rules and laws the civilians had to follow. Another important aspect that the Catawba had were that they were excellent potters, which was made from Carolina
The clothing of the Iroquois were also special, their clothes were typically made from deerskin, and feathers were also used as accessories. The Iroquois lived in a type of dwelling known as a longhouse, the longhouse is a long narrow single room, and had no windows, they were usually cover by animal skins during the winters to keep away
The Cherokee Indians lived in settled villages, usually located near a river. Cherokee houses were made of rivercane and plaster, with thatched roofs. These dwellings were about as strong and warm as log cabins.
The Natives built and lived in many small teepees, small dwellings, along with massive adobe homes in the woods using the materials they had found among the land
The United States border with Mexico is a controversial topic that has been the subject of debate recently. It is without question a problem that needs to be fixed. Currently most policies are focused on the manpower, infrastructure, and security of the border itself. However the border security is changed there will always be a demand for illegal immigrants and drug smugglers to cross the border into America. That why we should try to disrupt that demand by legalizing marijuana in the United States, put more resources into fighting cartels, and invest into the Mexican economy. These are the first steps to regaining border security to both countries.
The Taino world, for the most part, had some of the appearance that the modern imaginations ascribe to the South Pacific Islands. The Taino used two primary architectural styles for their homes. The general population lived in circular buildings with the poles providing the primary support and these were covered with the woven straw and palm leaves. They were somewhat like the North American teepees except, they needed to reflect the warmth of the climate and simply used straw and palm leaves rather than being covered with the skins (Barreiro 8). The caciques were singled out for unique housing. Their house was rectangular and featured a small porch. Despite the differences in shape, and the considerably larger buildings, the same material was used.

However, Chinese agriculture which was the base for economy at that period, aimed to recreate the original civilization in the frame of re collection, re storage approaches. Chinese traditional Architecture derived its form from the traditional Chinese philosophy which objective is a unify world with harmony, which is a revelation of man to nature. People are part of nature therefore Chinese people would select wood as a basic building material. It is of great importance that the Chinese people choose wood since it shows the relationship between its qualities and these of life
Marijuana is a drug that has been actively used for centuries. This drug can be traced back to 2737 BC by the Chinese emperor Shen Nung. He spoke about the euphoric effects of Cannabis and even referred to it as the “Liberator of Sin.” Since early on, marijuana was seen as a medicinal plant that was recommended for medical uses. Marijuana is currently in schedule I, which means that physicians are not allowed to prescribe it in the United States (Hart, Ksir 2013). This drug is also considered to have a high potential for abuse. In New York, a recent law was passed that states the penalties of possession of marijuana. If a person is carrying less than 25 grams and it is his/her offense, a $100 fine will be given to the individual. Marijuana is a very popular drug and in a study called Monitoring the Future Project by the University of Michigan in 2011, they state that next to alcohol, marijuana is the second most popular drug used by college students (Hart, Ksir 2013). There are currently many ongoing debates on why marijuana should be legalized. Marijuana should be legalized for recreation use in New York State because it can bring many positive effects to one’s health and can improve the economy as well.
The Traditional Chinese houses have many differences in comparison with the North American houses. The building materials used in construction is the most distinct difference from North American’s. A typical Chinese farmhouse is built of sun-dried bricks or pounded earth, because wood is too expensive and scarce to use. On the other hand, many typical Northern American houses are built of wood. In addition to the variations of building materials used in constriction, the architectural planning of a traditional Chinese houses is also unique. A traditional Chinese house is built according to the “Court-yard System'; where by houses are built around a courtyard which is invisible to the outside. Windows are covered by a thin oiled paper which is also invisible in order to protect robbery and keep privacy. Nowadays, the traditional housing system seldom appears in Hong Kong because it is too expensive and may cost millions of dollars. Moreover, the housing in Hong Kong is usually apartments and skyscrapers which is different from the ancient China.
