that were living in impoverish conditions within the year 2000. On the bottom left-hand corner there is a key to help understand the map. The key of a map typically has symbols, patterns, or specific colors that will tell the person looking at the
Savannah Pless map what it is about, what symbol means what, and it will normally show data if it is a thematic map. On this particular map specific colors in the key stand for the amount of people in a region that are living in impoverish conditions. Red is representative of areas containing a higher poverty population and the colors laying between red and dark green, which is the lowest poverty ratio, all decrease from the red. The map “Percent Populations Under Poverty Level in 2000” consists of a pattern over the area covered. Across The United States, there are particular areas that appear to be more susceptible to having people living in poverty. The more southern states on the map experienced more problems with poverty then northern states. Another place that had more impoverish condition, similar to the south would be the North West region of the map. Certain maps can have larger regions than others. On this map it has each individual county outlined which
Question 5: Compare the relative sizes of Greenland and Australia in the two maps? The true values of the surface areas for these countries are Greenland (2.2 million km2) and Australia (7.7 million km2). Does each map demonstrate these true values?
With these maps, the data could be used by the police for visualization ideal for the public release of unlike information such as planting trees, building new schools, applying for a liquor license, and any other material that might be a concern of the
Poverty affects millions of people living in the united states, poverty is measured by the amount of money needed to support the basic needs of a house hold. Poverty is measured by the SSA low-cost food budget assuming 1/3 of the budget is spent on food. The people with the highest percentage of poverty is shown to be Hispanic female households with no spouse present. The vast majority of people in poverty are women and children but in recent years the numbers of women considered poor have raised. Percentage rate is the percentage of poor in different counties. Looking at graph that maps Americas diversity shows that the highest poverty rate is in the South the Midwest has the least. I would assume that has to do with the weather, warmer weather

The simulation is based on historical maps. I noticed that it was very important to know the different markings represent on the map. Opposing military forces were shown as different colored lines or dots. The longer and thicker the line, it meant that they had more troops. The different colors on the map indicated there were higher or lower levels of elevation. White represented the lowest ground and dark brown indicated the peaks of small hills. Ridges and hills were usually easier to defend and harder to attack. The blue lines represented creeks. Roads were indicated by black lines and were important to keep open in order to receive supplies and reinforcements.
The map is a functional region. A functional region is one with a node or a focal point and diffuses outward. On this map, Denver is the focal point. All flights are based in Denver and then extend outward. The concentration of flights are higher, when you are closer to Denver and slowly decrease as you move out of the US.
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) ).
Things to look for or what it is shown on the map are high and low temperature in that region on September 14. The temperature is given in most common regions in North and South Carolina, like Raleigh, Hickory, etc. So, people in that part of the region will know what the temperature will be like that day. Other information placed on the map are the sun and moon. That’s there to tell the time when the sun will set and rise and when the moon will set and rise that day. Also on the map gives information on lake levels in High Rock Lake, Lake Norman, etc. Lake level are given for residents that live near the lake when there is call for a flood. All of this is very informational.
In an article written by Angus Deaton, he discusses the issues behind poverty and why it is persistent in the United States. In the beginning of his article, he presents data from the World Bank which states that 3.2 million out of 769 million of the world's poorest people are living in the United States and are living off of less than $1.90 a day as of 2013 (Deaton). Some of the arguments he mentions that may contribute to the United States high poverty rate include where our poverty line is set, the quality of our necessities, and our government aid.
However, this system of measuring poverty is flawed because if a family makes a dollar more above the set limit, they do not qualify for financial help from the government (NCCP, 2008).The poverty threshold is an inadequate measure of whether people are considered poor or not. Current poverty measures are flawed because it assumes how much a family spends and does not accurately include family resources such as Earned Income Tax Credit (NCCP, 2008). The way that the government measures poverty is based on outdated information that was set in the 60s. Because it has not been sufficient to keep up with the standard of living, those who are living in “high cost cities like New York and those who live in rural areas of the country” (NCCP, 2008) are barely getting by.
In 2010, about 46.2 million people were considered poor. The nation’s poverty rate rose to 15.1 percent, whereas in 2009, 14.3 percent of people in America were living in poverty (Censky, 2011). That is an increase of 2.6 million people in 2010. In the United States, the federal poverty line – an absolute measure of annual income – is frequently used to determine who is categorized as poor (Ferris & Stein, 2008, 2010). Currently the government defines the poverty line as an income of $11,139 for an individual and $22,314 for a family of four (Censky, 2011). In sociology, poverty can be defined using two terms – relative deprivation and absolute deprivation. Relative deprivation is a comparison between people and social class. With
Maps are summarized real word for particular purposes and humans read maps to make a decision in real world. The position of map reader is essential for finding relevant information through the map. Therefore, the map reader position was explicitly indicated in the
The map comes packaged in a cylindrical mailing tube printed with a sepia-toned map of the world, which conveys the brands’ values of discovery and evokes feelings of nostalgia.
With that said, the United States Census Bureau published the official poverty level report of 2014 in which 46.7 million people are living below quality standard. This alarming fact of recorded data, has the number of poor people or people living in poverty ranked as one of the largest since the start of publishing poverty statistics. In 2014 the poverty rate was 14.8%, which was down from 15.1% recorded in 2010. Household cash income for families was “less than half of the poverty line, or about $10,000 a year for a family of four” (World Hunger Education Service, 2016). It represented 6.6% of all people and 44.6% of those in poverty.
From the time of independence, India has been suffering from acute poverty, most of it is chronic in nature. If we look at the percentage of people below the poverty line, we do notice a sharp fall, but the absolute number remains increasing at a high rate.
