Jimmy Carter, the 39th president, was a very simple and relatable man from Plains, Georgia. His ideals appealed to the Southern democrats. Washington was in chaos after the resignation of Nixon and the citizens of America were tiered of the government’s drama. This is what made Carter so popular in the 1976 election. Carter appealed to America because he was an outsider to Washington. He also wanted to comply with what the people wanted for America; “Carter sought to portray himself as a man of the people” (“Jimmy Carter”, 2009). He used the Watergate scandal to his advantage. He promised America he would always be honest with them: “I’ll never tell a lie”. (“Jimmy Carter”, 2009). This seemed to win over America for the moment because he won

President Richard Nixon’s Watergate incident and resignation in August of 1974 left the nation feeling skeptic toward the national government. Gerald Ford, who was not elected by the public, took the oath of office and became the 38th president of the United States. President Ford, coined with a repugnant image in both the eyes of the public and the media, was defeated by 56 electoral votes in the election of 1976. Jimmy Carter managed to receive similar distasteful images by the end of his single term as well. Although there were similarities between Ford and Carter, the two presidents were different in terms of previous experience, domestic policies, and foreign affairs.

Jimmy Carter is widely known as one of the worst presidents to serve. I think that people are judging him too harshly; he is an overall great person and deserves to be recognized as such. He has accomplished many things during his four-year-term, and has accomplished many more things after his presidency. However, most people ignore the good that he's done and continue to criticize him for his past mistakes..

The following figure (see Figure A1) shows the concept map task creation use case. An instructor can create a concept map task and name it, add a concept mapping question to the task, update a question in the task, delete a question from the task and view a question in the task, as well as change attributes for a question in the task.

James Earl Carter, son of Lillian Gordy and James Carter, was born on October 1st, 1924 in Plains, Georgia. During his childhood, he grew up with two sisters, Gloria and Ruth, and one brother, William. All four children grew up on their family farm. Carter attended public school and was considered the smartest kid in his class; he enjoyed reading. He was on the basketball team during his high school years. He graduated in 1941, as valedictorian. In 1943, he attended Georgia Institute of Technology and Georgia Southwestern College where he received a BS degree for US Navy. As a young boy, he loved to read about the navy, which later inspired him. So, he scheduled an appointment for the US Navy academy, but failed the math portion of the test. Later, he married Rosalynn Smith, his sister’s best friend in 1946. They had four kids; John, James, Donnell, and Amy. Jimmy spent his first years in the navy serving as an instructor. Later, when his father passed away from cancer he felt it was his job to care and run his family farm. Rosalynn, however, didn’t want to. When he returned to the plains, the farm ran successfully.

In Ted Binnema’s “How does a Map Mean?” the author describes how maps are used as a way of understanding how a particular society functions. In Old Swan’s map, it is evident that it was done by groups of individuals and not just one particular person given there are places on the map that Old Swan was unaware of. Therefore, maps are a portrayal of an entire community’s knowledge of their land and not just one individual. Given this, it appears that it is not about what a map means but how it is used to establish meaning for those who wrote it. Each map is created in a different way and it is useless to try to understand it without first placing ourselves in the mindset of the cartographer(s) who wrote it. Furthermore, some indigenous maps are created using many others and to completely appreciate them, it is best to assume that they were created to be understood by the people at the time and hence, this can be why they seem puzzling to modern readers. For instance, in trying to understand Fidler’s map, because Arrowsmith was completely consumed with modern cartography, he was unable to decipher the cartographic style of Old Swan’s map (which Fidler based his maps on as well as others (five maps total) ).

James “Jimmy” Earl Carter Jr. was born on October 1, 1924 in Plains, Georgia to a peanut farmer who also owned a store to make money for his family. Jimmy’s mother was a nurse and taught black women on health care issues and sought to continue breaking the color barrier in the medical field. Jimmy was a very diligent child who never liked getting into trouble. He started working at his father’s store when he was ten. He loved spending time with his father and listening to politics from an early age. Jimmy’s childhood friends were African American and so were the most influential adults in his life. He never segregated anyone and believed firmly that everyone was equal. Jimmy and his family were not affected by the Great Depression. In fact,

Jimmy Carter was the 39th president of the United States of America. He was born in Plains Georgia on October 1, 1924. Jimmy Carters father; James Earl Carter Sr, was a peanut farmer who owned his own small plot of land, warehouse and store. His Mother, Lillian Carter worked as a registered nurse. Jimmy Carters Parents were very religious and they went to Plains Baptist Church.

The incumbent of the election of 1980 was James “Jimmy” Carter. Born October 1, 1924 in Plains Georgia, Carter had a much more traditional route to the presidency than his opponent Ronald Reagan. Carter was a well educated man and is even considered one of the smartest presidents in United States history (Simonton). Jimmy Carter attended Georgia Southwest College, then Georgia Institute of technology and finally the U.S Naval Academy in Annapolis Maryland. After training at the Naval Academy Carter began “a seven year career in the US Navy, serving submarine duty for five years” (“Jimmy Carter). When returning from the Navy he began his political career by serving on the local board of education. The next step on the road to president was serving on the Georgia state Senate. Carter won the election for State Senate as a Democrat in 1962

During President Jimmy Carter's administration (1977-1981), he had seen a substantive decrease in unemployment and a reduction of the deficit, but the recession ultimately continued. Carter created the United States Department of Education and United States Department of Energy, established a national energy policy and pursued civil service and social security reform. Carter also started the Camp David Accords, the Panama Canal Treaties and the second round of Strategic Arms Limitation Talks. His work to return the Panama Canal Zone to Panama received criticism from the American people for his decisions, which was seen as a U.S. weakness and of Carter's own habit of backing down when faced with confrontation. The final year of Carter’s presidential

Among my peculiar obsessions as a child was my ability to read maps. As a nine-year-old, I knew the names of, maybe, three towns in the country, let alone New Jersey. Despite that, interpreting maps and helping my parents navigate on family vacations were my way of learning. This trip wasn't our typical vacation, however: For the first time, I alone had been tasked with leading my mother to a town we had never visited before. During the car ride though, I succumbed to a bout of drowsiness and fell asleep moments after the car ride began. I had lost control of

President Carter, while in office, was seen as perfectionist and always looking to find something wrong with a project. He possessed deep mistrust for career politicians and believed that only an outsider, like he was, would be a good moral leader. In assessing his leadership style, President Carter would fit into the directive style as explained by Van Wart. A directive style leadership “is exhibited when a leader lets subordinates know what they are expected to do, gives direction and guidance, asks subordinates to follow rules and procedures, and schedules and coordinate activities” (Van Wart, 2012, pg.37). This description might not fit someone as powerful as the President of the United States, but the case of Jimmy Carter is different. He held a firm grasp on all the activities that went on around him.

President Franklin Roosevelt, meanwhile, transformed a ladies’ cloakroom in the White House basement into a top secret communications center, a precursor to today’s White House Situation Room. From the Map Room he could monitor military operations taking place worldwide, receive coded messages, and converse securely with allies like Winston Churchill of Great Britain, Joseph Stalin of the Soviet Union, and Chiang Kai-Shek of China. Very few people were authorized to enter the Map Room—even the Secret Service did not have
