Europe

Europe is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the west, on the south is the Mediterranean Sea, the eastern border is somewhat skewed and on the north is the Arctic Ocean.

Europe does not have an obvious outline of its border and it is to be thought of a continent more for its cultural and characteristics than for its natural features. The eastern region of Europe is referred as a line beside the Ural Mountains to the Caspian Sea and to the northeast is beside the Caucasus Mountains to the Black Sea.

Europe border does follow a clear distinct geographical features but it has the disadvantage of placing the western top of Turkey in Europe and the rest of Turkey in the Middle East. Europe also includes the western region of Russia and a vast eastern region of Russia in Asia.

People of the Stone Age

While the last Ice Age was ending, so was another long period in human development, the Paleolithic Age, also known as Old Stone Age. Paleolithic humans survived by hunting animals and by gathering wild berries and grains. The hunting and gathering of food kept people migrate, making them nomads. To find animals to hunt, they had to follow nomadic herds and move on when they had picked an area clean of its edible plants.

This nomadic lifestyle resulted in the Paleolithic people to live in small groups. Most often they are extended families of 20 to 30 people per group. Each group has enough people to do the work without having too many mouths to feed.

United States Government

Government touches each of our lives every day and we rarely think about it. When we do think about government, we may think about President at the White House sitting in the Oval Office contemplating national policy or we would think of the local mayor dealing with problems such as budgets or crime. Those visions give a very false image of the government as a whole. The leaders of the governments are in reality tiny pieces of much larger and more pervasive institutions.

Administrations come and go. Policies and procedures change. Nevertheless, most of the functions of government remain. The mail carrier still brings the mail. The state trooper still patrols the highways. The roads are still cleared of snow. The traffic light still blinks. The schools are still open from fall to late spring. In [... continue reading]
