Physical Space In America

Lesson 1 1. I think because a lot of people didn’t want to go to war or enter the military service because of many different reasons and beliefs they had also some democrats that wanted peace and to reunite the states through negotiation rather than force. 2. Attrition, the wearing down of one side by the other through exhaustion of soldiers and resources, played a critical role as the war dragged on. The north, with its large population, could replace its troops much more easily than the south. 3. The confederate constitution emphasized states’ rights and limited the central government’s power. This commitment to states’ rights often interfered with Davis’s ability to conduct the war. Although many southern leaders supported the war, some opposed Jefferson Davis when he supported conscription and established martials law early in 1862. 4.The north had a strong naval tradition. More than three-fourths of the united states navy’s officers came from the north. Also most of the navy’s warships and all but two of the nation’s shipyards remained under union control. The north also had several economic advantages. The north had a larger population, giving it an advantage in raising an army and in supporting the war effort. In addition, in 1860 the north produced almost 90 percent of total manufacturing weapons and equipment. The north also had more railroad lines to enable the movement of armies and supplies. The north also had

     The United States government is known to give its citizens great advise with much care and concern. With this being known, many people come to the conclusion that United States citizens can faith in the government when it comes to making crucial decisions. Terry Tempest Williams is not one of these people. In “The Clan of the One-Breasted Women”, Williams gives her views on the government conducting nuclear tests in Utah. In contrast, in “America’s Energy Plan in Action: Bearing Witness,” an article Williams contributed to Orion magazine and OrionOnline, Williams speaks on issues containing actions of the government drilling for oil and natural

Los Angeles is the biggest city in the southwestern part of the state of California. Every city has the five themes of geography, which are location, place, human environment interaction, region and movement. Just like every other city, Los Angeles has them too! The location of Los Angeles is 34.05 latitude and -118.24 longitude.

In the newfound land of America in the 1600’s, many people died of disease or hunger. In some cases, colonists worked and were rewarded for their service with money, crops, or even land. To achieve the America that we know and love today there are people who went through many hardships. Also, factors that let the land grow and prosper to where it is now. Some hardships that were faced were disease, bad climates, and a period known as “The Starving Time.” Without those hardships America could not grow, so some factors that helped the land grow was good leaders, organized governments, and work.

Occupied spaces often reveal complex gender boundaries and societal norms. For example, Jacquie Smyth states in “Transcending Traditional Gender Boundaries: Defining Gender Roles Through Public and Private Spheres” that the traditional Western-European role for the status-holding male was in the public sphere (28). On the contrary, women were “instructed to remain home” in the domestic sphere (Smyth 28). These two distinctions outline how society perceived gender roles in terms of space, which exposes how the binary creates an uneven power dynamic. Smyth’s definitions of these spatial boundaries provide a framework to analyze texts for representations of spatial-gender roles.

In Brent Staples’ personal essay “Black Men and Public Space”, he tells the readers what happen to a young black man in an urban setting. He pinpointed that people often stereotype you because of color, race, gender, culture or appearance. In addition, the author expresses to us that he notices the space between him and other people, such as women on the street. Some people may disagree that women set a certain amount of space when walking by a black man on the street. This statement is not true and public space is not about race, gender, color, culture, or appearance.

"The Frontier in American History" was one of the most famous essays by Frederick Turner in the nineteenth century. In this essay, Turner expressed his thoughts about how the frontier set up and created unique American characteristics. He explained the idea of American exceptionalism, which states that America is different than other nations in the world. The development of America included many significant events, and our nation 's identity was made up by many factors, not just only the frontier. Nowadays, the America defines itself as a large and powerful country in the world. We are all proud to be an American. Thus, the stress on a distinct national identity is appropriate within an increasingly diverse nation-state and an ever globalizing world.

According to Paatjes and Shwartz(1993) personal space is an invisible barrier that humans extend around themselves which they like to keep others from entering. The

According to Doreen Massey, Space is “a complex web of relations of domination and subordination, of solidarity and cooperation” (Massey 1993, p.81, cited in Neely and Sumura 2011). This definition allows one to see the incorporation of the ‘power over’, how a person will have the ‘power over’ someone (domination) and therefor that someone will be subordinate. As well as the contrast between

In “Man to Man, Woman to Woman”, M. Sherman and A. Hass explain the problem of male –female communication through the research. They passed a questionnaire to 160 women and 110 men asking them that how often they talk about the topic listed on the questionnaire with friends of the same sex. From the responses of the questionnaire, they wrote this article. They said that the men reported talking about sports, current events, music, whereas women reported talking about relationship problems, health, family, reproductive concerns, weight, food, and clothing. They come up with the conclusions that both men and women don’t have to adopt other’s style, but they have to recognize and respect other’s style. Well, it seems like Sherman’s and Hass’s article can really tell us accurate information than that of Maynard’s article. “Man to Man, Woman to Woman” is based on the majority view and not one person’s view like “His Talk, Her Talk”. “Man to Man, Woman to Woman” is based on the survey, so the newlyweds would be able to understand better because now-a-days people like data from research, they like exact numbers. Moreover, the survey done by Hass and Sherman leads us to the conclusion that the difference in topics is not so damaging to intimate male-female relationships as are the differences in the style and function of conversation. J. Maynard’s data are merely based on her own life experiences. Some people may not believe in one person’s

Social location, or the status in life that people have because of their place in a society, have a huge impact on everyone. The impact that social location created could be neutral, but most of the time it will have a positive or negative impact on people. For example, an African American could be discriminated because of his ethnicity, or a patient will choose an older doctor when he needs a treatment. Different social location that we have will affect our decisions in everyday life, and most of the time it happened subconsciously, which means we don’t realize that the decisions we make are based on our social location. Like everyone else, I was affected by my own social location, both positively and negatively.

The United States was founded on the ideologies of originality and independence from extraneous authority. To many, America is more than just a country, it is the land of the free and is a light in the darkness from the rest of the world. This inspiration has served Americans well throughout the past, but provides a reason to be reluctant to try successful ideas from foreign countries. The reluctance of accepting the metric system is the prominent example of the country’s stubbornness to change its views. The switch to the metric system in the United States is more than just a proposal to be pushed aside, it is a necessity to survive in the changing market. College students are the next

The Economic structure that I see on the map it is that U.S is great because they trade with country has been good and know the economic Is been decreases gradually. Well since America has good Economic cause it gets its goods like clothes, food etc. form other rich country that has high level of DTM. Friction of distance is the comparison of distance and the interaction between two places so I think that Friction of distance is good also cause in the definition it says that the communication between two places and since there is internet everywhere could talk to any else in the world and at any time. Age Structure of the population is how many people are show based in the graph or picture about different ages and U.S has a lot of facilities

When people think of their environment people think of their immediate surroundings; however, one's environment goes beyond and further into the psychological connection to one's personal environment. To further explain, Gallagher discusses three different aspects of The Power of Place: Outside In, Inside Out, and Synchrony. The book opens doors previously unnoticed about psychological ecology. From reading the book one learns that settings influence behavior more than the personalities of most people.
