What Factors Affect The State Of Kansas

Crawford County is located in the southeast corner of Kansas. Crawford County is a short drive from the Missouri, Oklahoma, and Arkansas border and is about an hour and a half from both Kansas City, Missouri and Tulsa, Oklahoma. Crawford County is where I have lived my whole life, as well as where I plan on working as an APRN, which is why I chose Crawford County for the community assessment. The healthcare of a community relies on many factors, such as healthcare facilities and providers, patients, stakeholders, and barriers and assets to care. Awareness of the community will help the APRN to understand and better serve their community.

The weather for this family living in Kansas was not great at all. Due to the drought in the south lead to dust storms that destroyed crops. Crops then turned to dust which meant that there was no food to be sent out. Because of the Dust Bowl, homes were buried, there was no food to be served, not many jobs and most people were either sick because of bad air quality, or unemployed. Since the crops that farmers had were ruined by the drought and the dust bowl, they had no food for themselves or to exchange for other food or supplies they needed. Soup kitchens and breadlines offered free or low cost food for people. Many farmers migrated to California and other Pacific coast states because of being in a bad state of living where they were at.

The 1880s proved to be a time of change for America. High unemployment rates and low wages in many cities forced many to look to new opportunities in cities and elsewhere. This included the newly expanded west. In the 1880s Kansas had three dominating groups- railroad companies, farmers, and cowboys. All three dealt with individual triumphs and struggles when developing the West and specifically Kansas in the later part of the 19th century. Railroads spent most of the 1880s concerned with previous legislation, farmers worried about land allotment and surviving on the Plains. Cowboys also worried about land allotment and surviving. The worries of the last two created some tension between them but in the end survival of one depended on the

Kansas is an example of how conservatives might run the country if Democratic resistance was not there. The state legislature is almost entirely Republican, and leading the state is perhaps one of the most conservative governors, Sam Brownback. Brownback has enacted many cuts in taxes and spending. Having cut the taxes, the state has been short on funds and had to cut more funding to essential programs like education and law enforcement. Sam Brownback has failed the state of Kansas as governor because he lacks several qualities. He is a poor decision maker and his policies have hurt Kansas. With no liberal resistance, Brownback has been able to expedite his extreme conservative agenda. This has led to outrageous cuts to taxes and funding of

Local and state level laws also affect citizens more on a day to day basis than any national laws. Numerous factors shape what a state’s political culture is. The diversity of the citizens, recent events in the state, and current national events can all affect the political climate of a state. Understanding political cultures is key to also understanding the issues and conflicts that face the state at any given time. Kansas has a long and unique history of different political cultures evolving and battling for control of the state.

Oklahoma is set to return the US$53,000 that cops seized from the volunteer manager of Burmese Christian band Klo and Kweh Music Team who was raising money for an orphanage, a church, and a school in his homeland Burma.

After the Congressional passing of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the people of the Kansas territory had the power to determine the status of their territory, free or slave, by popular vote. This idea of popular sovereignty provoked the political tensions between northern and southern ideals and yielded extreme violence, putting Kansas on top as the Union state with

This takes us to the necessity of speaking about the collision of the north and south interest in the Kansas territory. Decades before the outbreak of the civil war thousands of Indians were pushed to go to the northwest by the white settlers who expanded west ward after the American Revolution. After that, during the Jacksonian era, other Indian tribes of different backgrounds were obliged by force to abandon their mother lands Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Missouri in order to move to the Indian Territory Kansas. These events forced the encounter of whites with red Indians who established a very strategic trade of fur making the Kawsmouth

In the book What’s the Matter With Kansas by Thomas Frank, a phenomenon has been happening which many people do not understand. In the sixties, Kansans were voting for democrats during the election. This was seen as typical and normal since democrats are meant to help lower and middle class people. This did not stay for long since shortly after Kansans started to vote for republicans which goes against the belief of what is assumed. Republicans are known for trying to lower the tax on the upper class and are against of many things things such as abortion. The author tries to understand why in person the views that Kansans have match with democrats yet when they vote it is for republicans. The reason this is happening is due to religion.

Kansas has set up many different kinds of laws throughout each of the cities. When some of the laws were made they had good reasons behind them but often times it is now seen as completely crazy. In Wichita, one law states that when driving a car at the intersection of Douglas and Broadway, the driver must and is required to get out of the car and then fire with their own gun three rounds into the air before they can proceed through that intersection. This is a particular law that is so crazy it is funny.

In 1861, the Sunflower State was adopted into the USA as the 34th state. It is home to the geographical center of the United States and not to forget the largest ball of twine ever recorded. With its vast plains and prariers Kansas is the largest producer of wheat and is known as the ‘bread-basket state’. Many schools in this agricultural governance still base their hours around the harvest schedule allowing the children to lend a hand in the tradition of family farming. There is currently over 2.8 million Kansans calling this prairie land home. Kansans are predominantly white, Christian, republicans and have an average income of about 50k with about 11% below poverty. Recent educational report cards show the graduation rate is 86% with

Across the country immigration is account for majorities of several state 's population growth due to many factors but in the state of California especially, “when all factors are weighed, immigration accounted for an incredible 96 percent of California 's population growth from 1990 to 1997.

Beautiful beaches, palm trees blowing in the wind, perfect weather! Why wouldn’t you want to live in California?
