Present Day Demographics

The Chesapeake economy was based on the tobacco industry and other industries. The tobacco plantations raised plantations raised enough money for importation of obligated servants, who then worked on the plantation, increasing production further. With the flourish climate and land, Chesapeake settlers farmed as the settlers of Chesapeake region needed the land for agricultural and slaves, the space between neighbors had to enlarge unlike New England, which the Chesapeake region tended to become “county.” However, the economy of New England based on farming, fishing and lumbering so that they tended to stay closer neighborhoods and become “villages.” Farming was done on a smaller scale because the society and religion was family oriented, farms were usually large enough for to feed ones family. The farming in New England was nowhere near the size of the size of the vast plantations of Chesapeake; this was simply because New England’s focus was not on economic gain, but the freedom of

Demography is the science of human populations and their change over time, and the United States Census reveals important demographic changes decade-by-decade that affect politics, government and public policy. One of the most important demographic trends is that the U.S. has become a far more multicultural and multilingual society than it was in 1960, due in part from changes in the immigration laws in 1965 that abolished the quota system of the National Origins Act that favored European immigrants. As a result, Asians and Hispanics have been the majority of new immigrants over the past forty years and states like California and Texas already have majority-minority populations or soon will have. At some point in the 21st Century, the U.S. as a whole is going to become a majority-minority society for the first time in its history. Another major demographic trend is the rapid growth of the over-65 population as the Baby Boom generation begins to retire, which will mean heavier expenditures on federal entitlement programs like Medicare and Social Security. Elderly voters are also the most politically active group, especially when protecting these key safety net programs, and this has become a major political and public policy issue in recent years.

The Chesapeake region and New England colonies greatly differed in their development of their two distinct societies. The Chesapeake region was a loosely fitted society with little connection with each plantation while the New England colonies had tightly knitted communities with a sort of town pride. The difference in unity and the reason for this difference best explain the significant disparity between the dissimilar societies.

By the 1700’s the Chesapeake and New England regions had developed vast differences. Although both regions were settled by a group of people from the same location and a common culture, the two had developed into areas with little similarities. Differences between the groups can be seen when looking at the cultures of both areas. The New England and Chesapeake regions developed differently by the 1700’s because of political, religious, and economic reasons.

The collection consists of 15,000 pages of original historical material documenting the land, peoples, exploration, and transformation of the trans-Appalachian West from the mid-eighteenth to the early nineteenth century. The collection is drawn from the holdings of the University of Chicago Library and the Filson Historical Society of Louisville, Kentucky.

The Chesapeake was shaped economically by tobacco, Bacons rebellion, by John Smith. The tobacco dominated in this particular region since 1618 it was very profitable and people grew it best on leveled grounds with 80% of Chesapeake homes laying ½ of a riverbank and most 600 feet of the shoreline, bottom line is tobacco was their destiny it was their money for food and other essentials. This shaped Chesapeake since it made up pretty much its entire economy so when tobacco falls, the world falls for them. The Bacon's Rebellion was a popular revolt in colonial Virginia in 1676, led by Nathaniel Bacon because of high taxes, low prices for tobacco, Sir William Berkeley the governor, provided the background for the uprising, which was precipitated by Berkeley's failure to defend the frontier against attacks by Native Americans. This shaped the region since we gained land, furs, and harvest. John smith was young, 28, but had experience fighting Turks and Spanish, and had enough experience to assume control in Virginia, he organized work bands, and ensured sufficient food and shelter for winter; he also became the colony's best Indian negotiator, and when he was captured by Indians in late 1607, he showed bravery and courage, and the chief's daughter, Pocahontas saved Smith's life. This shaped Chesapeake since he provided help for the colony and when he left for England the colonies went on a

New and the Chesapeake’s both had significant and similar purpose to escape from Europe and make states that can allow their own freedom. However, in time both regions began to change and in most ways different in many divisions. Many of these changes or differences such as purpose for freedom, the climate and the environment, and political and economic structures through the changes. Each of these changed the regions own perspective and back ground thus making these regions very different in was unimaginable.

Now one similarity that Virginia and Maryland have is that they both sought out the headright system, which ment that “a grant of 100 acres to each male settler, another 100 for his wife and each servant and 50 for each of his children” (Brinkley, 30). The few differences were that Maryland planted tobacco as their main crop, it was known as the proprietary colony, they created the Act of Toleration, and Bacon’s Rebellion. The settlers would find land among the rivers in order to provide enough water for the tobacco crops. “Despite the rapid growth of population during the early colonial period, several observers of the Chesapeake region by the end of the 17th century thought that the tobacco coast ‘very illed people’” (Menard). Maryland was also unique because i wa known as the first proprietary state, which meant that the king gave it to family, in this case, it was the Calverts.

By the 1700’s, the New England and the Chesapeake had developed very divergent societies.This can be marked from the very beginning . The New England emigrants were purely religious and migrated to the New World in very large families. In comparison to the Chesapeake emigrants who were originally discovered during their search for profit and later continued as a slave supported colony. The emigrants in the Chesapeake were mainly lone men who left their families. Although both regions were settled largely by the people of England, they both had evolved into different communities, due to mainly reasons involving the reason for settlement, migration patterns and geography.

It might impact because more immigrant households are enrolling in early childhood programs. According to Edweek.org(2014) the enrollment has increased in certain regions to include the west and south regions. Latinos were one of the races that were in high attendance in those school districts. Changing demographics can impact the center due to teachers not adequately prepared to teach children from cultural and linguistic background. This impact would force centers to have teachers training programs to prepare teachers for a more diverse center. Eric.ed.gov(2014) discusses that teachers will need to modify or change their teaching practices to now fit a changing demographic to specifically meet the needs of their students.

During the 17th century, the differing geographical, social, and economic factors shaped the Chesapeake region and the New England region. Throughout the century New England kept a strong shared identity while the Chesapeake remained distributed. While the river valleys of the Chesapeake had a climate that would sustain crop plantations and disease, New England’s extreme climate made the production of crops and spread of disease difficult. Also the combination of poor free men and slaves resulted in larger rich-poor gap in Chesapeake. When the New England settlers arrived they still retained their strong ties to religion.

Over the last 10 years, the population of the United States has changed dramatically. With the massive amounts of innovation and development in the world, the life of the average US citizen has changed dramatically. The trends of the different races in our country along with the change in age distribution, the locations of where individuals live today, and the predictions of the American future with regards to these trends all lead us to believe that the future for the United States is extremely bright.

Approximately 1300 athletes from thirty-seven countries competed in Olympics game held in Los Angeles, in 1932. The games commenced on 30th July 1932 and came to an end on 14th August 1932. This participation was considered poor when compared to other Olympic games held before. The poor participation was due to the economic depression that was being experienced worldwide. This made it expensive for participants to travel all the way to California and back. For those who managed to attend, the Olympic village was located in Baldwin Hills, which covered 321 acres (Epting, 2002). All male athletes were hosed in 500 bungalows that had a direct access to a post office, kitchens that served various cuisines, hospitals, and a library. Female participants stayed in hotels down town Los Angeles. For the Los Angeles Coliseum,

Many periodicals or magazines were present in this era. Three of the most popular periodicals were The Cornhill Magazine, Once a Week, and Good Words. Each of the periodicals included a weekly or monthly issue that was fairly low quality in paper and wrapping and sold for cheap. There was also a half-yearly volume that included every issue published in the period of time that was of much better quality and cost much more (Cooke). Most periodicals were aimed at both men and women of any class, but the were often read by men of the working middle class. They could pick up a copy for very little and that would entertain them on railway trips and their workplace (Cooke). Though the periodicals aforementioned were cheap weekly, there were some that

The demographics of the U.S. are forever evolving. No generation is like the one before. Trends come and go, ethnic diversity increases, and social norms change. Therefore, as expected, the need and attitude towards particular products changes. There are very few consumer items that are able to withstand the test of time. Those products are typically essential lifestyle or hygiene goods. For example, products like bath soap have been around for years and it is unlikely that the need for them go away anytime soon. With that being said, it does not mean that products like soaps, shampoos, etc. do not need to evolve with the changing desires of our country. They too must also add variety into their product mix, as well as change their methods of marketing to keep up with the times. Let’s now take a look at some demographic trends that will impact how companies market in the U.S. for the years to come.
