Canada has been described as a double yolked egg because of its dual nationality. This is a rare occurrence in comparison to all other countries around the globe. Every public decision in Canadian society must be brought to attention by both an English and (or) French perspective.
During the early development of Canada, both the French and English were insecure about the possibility of full assimilation.
Scholars from Canada have brought up the fact that, judging from past events, Canada can sometimes be difficult to govern all together. Especially during war time.
French Canadians are Canada’s largest minority numbering 6.7 million people. Most are catholic and have established Quebec as their homeland.
Only about 1 million of the French population lives outside Quebec. 81% of Quebec speaks French. Outside Québec, English is the home language of over 80 per cent of the population, with most of the remainder speaking non-official languages.
Canadian English owes its very existence to important historical events, especially: the Treaty of Paris of 1763, which ended the Seven Years’ War and opened most of eastern Canada for English-speaking settlement; the American Revolution of 1775–83, which spurred the first large group of English-speakers to move to Canada; and the Industrial Revolution in Britain, which encouraged an even larger group to join them in the 19th century. These and other events determined the patterns of English-speaking settlement in Canada, which in turn influenced the current form of Canadian English.

This class was so awesome. Who would have ever known that I would have learned so much by utilizing a blog? My website has helped me learn Geography in a whole new light thanks to this class. It was hard work, but I would not change a thing. I would still enroll in this course If I knew then what I know now, this class would be a lot easier for me, but hey everybody needs a challenge sometimes. Yes, I do plan to still use my WordPress website after the semester ends. I had such a great experience because of the people that I attended this course with. We had a great instructor, Dr. Edgell, and we had an array of diverse students. We had our good laughs. We really blended well in my opinion. We would express concern on due dates and on posts. It was very stressful at times, but it proved worthwhile in the end. My biggest accomplishment was getting over my irritation with learning how to write blogs. Now that I have learned I might tart blogging a whole lot more now. This helped me in my major of Sociology/ Social Welfare because I’ll be able to understand people in a whole new geographical stand point because I have learned so much about how geographical places can influence culture. I’m confident that I will still be utilizing my Word Press account after this semester.
I take this particular subject a little personal. I come from a family that has majority of its roots in Mississippi on both sides. My father is from Southern Mississippi and my mother is from East Mississippi. Growing up all of my life I heard my parents and grandparents tell me about the Great Migration. They might not have used those exact words but I knew what they meant.
I have huge part of my family that relocated to Chicago, Illinois during the Great Migration. They often would say that they grew tired of the racism and low job quality in the South and ran to the North for opportunity.
“The Great Migration was the relocation of more than 6 million African Americans from the rural South to the cities of the North, Midwest and West from about 1916 to 1970. Driven from their homes by unsatisfactory economic opportunities and harsh segregationist laws, many blacks headed north, where they took advantage of the need for industrial workers that first arose during the First World War. During the Great Migration, African Americans began to build a new place for themselves in public life, actively confronting racial prejudice as well as economic, political and social challenges to create a black urban culture that would exert enormous influence in the decades to come.”https://www.history.com/topics/black-history/great-migration
As a person that has traveled a lot around the South and the entire world I tend to gravitate more towards Southern culture. No not the negative aspects such as racism, jealousy, and slavery, but the positive side is what I like to gravitate to.
We are home to some of the best cooking, best entertaining cultural activity, and most die hard sports fans. The University of Alabama has more NCAA championships than any other school, for example.
Some of the best football and basketball players come from the South. For Example: Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. MJ is NC, SP is Arkansas.
Some Popular Reasons Why the South Is Better than Y’all
1. People are friendlier.
When walking past southerners they often smile, instead of pretending to stare at the ground like most northerners. They also usually say good morning/afternoon/evening. To get a vocal hello from a stranger in the north is highly unusual and most likely will come from a person not originally from the north.
2. People are most attractive.
With nicer weather year round they can spend more of their time outdoors going for a run or bike ride. They’re not confined to their homes or making excuses that it’s too cold to go to the gym.
Instead of being standard and boring southern rotaries are quite spruced up. They often have fountains in the middle with flowers and palm trees around the edges.
4. Better Drivers
To start they don’t have the same reputation as New Yorkers or Bostonians, which is really half the battle. Southerners will not cut your off, but in the rare occasion that it happens they will wave and say sorry. Northerners, on the other hand, will flick you off and laugh sucker to themselves.
5. Better Weather
As already referenced in #2 the weather is a big part of the south. Their ocean is actually warm in the summer and they rarely get snow. Not to mention that I was just there and was wearing flip flops in FEBRUARY!!
But with any list there are exceptions, and this list is does not escape that rule. The one downside to the south is the occasional redneck. You don’t run into them often but when you do, you usually come out with a story to tell. I’ll save you the extended version of my story, but basically I was stuck in a van with a man from the backwoods of Tennessee who spoke nothing outside the realm of Yankees, guns, and NASCAR. (I just searched southerner on google and the other suggestion that came up was redneck…coincidence?) You win some, you lose some; in the end it still seems like an obvious choice. https://thatsmyprerogative.wordpress.com/2008/02/28/5-reasons-why-the-south-is-better-than-the-north/
This Song was made by a super rapper named Young Jeezy. A multi-millionaire from the slums of Atlanta, Georgia. He rose up from the harsh streets and later over time became a heavy hitter in the music profession.
He has worked with the likes of Jay Z, Nas, Akon and Kanye West. Four of some of the greatest mainstream rappers that are out right now. He has street cred and is a millionaire so he has become a well connected and respected music artist. When he first introduced this song it had gained huge support from the African-American and Latino communities here in the United States because ut was basically a song about How Proud He Was that America could rise to new levels by accepting another African American as the country’s president which proved how far that we have come as a people!

With Chicago’s deadly wind chill, it easily becomes a topic of interest when considering America’s coldest climates. These wind chills are known to be dangerous and have been known to take the lives of the unprepared.
Article Example:
“Life-threatening weather with extreme windchill and subzero temperatures had the weather service on high alert for record-breaking, historic numbers at the end of January.
On Thursday night, Chicago had a subzero temperatures for 52 straight hours. The frigid marathon beat out the last subzero streak in 2014 by 14 hours—the National Weather Service Chicago estimates 2019 is the fourth longest streak ever.
No all-time records were broken for Chicago but the low temperature of minus 23 was close to clipping the record of minus 27 degrees on January 20, 1985. However, daily records for the city were shattered, according to the National Weather Service Chicago.
On Wednesday, the record for lowest maximum temperature was broken with minus 10, previously it was 3 degrees in 2004. The day’s record for lowest minimum temperature was also broken at 23 degrees below zero, before it had been minus 15 in 1966.
Thursday’s weather also set a new record for the lowest minimum temperature with minus 21 degrees. Previous records were minus 12 in 1899 and 1985.
If you think that’s bad, the record for windchill is far worse: 82 below zero on Christmas Eve 1983. Chicago’s windchill dipped to minus 52 degrees on Wednesday.”
Brutal cold contributed to 3 deaths in Chicago during polar vortex

Posted Feb 01 2019 04:29PM CST
CHICAGO (SUN TIMES MEDIA WIRE) – Three Chicagoans died from cold-related causes during this week’s brutal polar vortex, bringing Cook County’s cold death tally to at least 23 people since the start of the season.
The most recent cold-related fatality happened early Friday in the Edison Park neighborhood on the Northwest Side.
Linda Czech, 62, was pronounced dead at 1:10 a.m. in the 7200 block of West Greenleaf, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. Czech, who lived in the same block, died from coronary disease, with lung disease and cold exposure serving as contributing factors, according to an autopsy conducted Friday. Her death was ruled an accident. http://www.fox32chicago.com/news/local/brutal-cold-contributed-to-3-deaths-in-chicago-during-polar-vortex
Many People Say that these two are the Coldest Chicago rappers: Twista and Chief Keef
Of Course We All Most Likely Know that the Northern part of the United States can get much colder than its southern portion, but sometimes we just do not realize the dramatic difference between the two.
Here we have Grand Forks, ND. A population of hard-working and intelligent people that must battle frigid temperatures year in and year out. Up here they even have a top notch military base seated directly in town that also has to deal with the harsh winter weather.
North Dakota is already known as a cold state. Then you have Grand Forks, ND which is one of the coldest, and also their 3rd largest city it terms of citizens.
Example Grand Forks Article during extreme weather:
“Grand Forks residents could see temperatures as low as minus 34 degrees Wednesday. That’s less than 10 degrees short of the city’s coldest temperature on record of minus 43. In addition, Grand Forks might come close to beating its record for the lowest high temperature on record: Today, the high is projected at minus 21 degrees. The city in 2004 logged its previous lowest high of minus 23.
With windchill factored in, temps could drop to 55 or 65 degrees below zero today. That could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as five minutes, Lee said.
“It’s not something to be messed with,” she said, adding that residents should ensure they have a winter survival kit in their car in case they get stranded. “It’ll be three nights of really cold wind chills.”
The National Weather Service on Monday issued a wind chill warning, which will remain in effect until noon Thursday.
Still, Grand Forks residents likely will get a reprieve from snowfall and blizzard-level winds this week, she added. Wind gusts of about 32 mph are expected this evening, but that’s expected to drop to less than 10 mph by Wednesday. And despite some light flurries Monday, snow will likely taper off during the rest of the week.
“It will be quiet precipitation wise,” Lee said. “Cold will be the name of the game.”
The United States of America is no stranger to cold harsh weather. Even in the Dirty South where the heat can reach well above the 100’s, has been known to reach devastating low temperatures and icy weather precipitation. I personally have lived all around our great country while growing up as a military brat.
The coldest city that I have ever lived is also known by some scholars to be the coldest major city in the United States. Which is Fairbanks, AK. This city sits next to a major Army base over by Ft. Wainwright, and is also in close proximity to the small town known as the North Pole where they actually have the Santa Clause house. Reindeers actually do exist. The Santa Claus has plenty of reindeers and serves as a major tourist attraction where anybody can go to his house and chill with Santa and his elves.
“Fairbanks, the largest settlement in Interior Alaska, has a continental sub-Arctic climate. The mean annual tem perature is just below the freezing point, and the annual temperature variation is large.”
On average, approximately 150 moose are killed on Fairbanks area roads each year. The dead moose are salvaged by local charities so the meat does not go to waste.
How do people drive in the winter?
Most Alaskan drivers in the Interior use studded snow tires or special winter tires for extra traction on the snow and ice. Studded tires can be used from Sept. 15 to May 1 in Fairbanks and other areas north of 60 degrees latitude and Sept. 30 to April 15 in areas south of 60 degrees.
Not really. The shortest day of the year is on Dec. 21, the winter solstice, when there is 3 hours, 43 minutes, of official daylight.
But there is usually a half-hour or so of twilight on each side of sunrise and sunset that translates to about 4 or 5 hours of light during the darkest days, from about 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Granted, it’s not bright light, but we’ll take all we can get. After Dec. 21, we start gaining 6-7 minutes of daylight each day.
Is it light all day long in the summer?
Look out the window. Seriously, though, the longest day of the year is on June 21, the summer solstice, when there is 21 hours, 49 minutes of official daylight. At that point, in the last half of June and first half of July, it pretty much is light all day long. After June 21, we start losing 6-7 minutes of daylight each day.
How do you sleep in the summer with all the light?
You close your eyes and count moose. Kidding aside, most people who have spent much time in Fairbanks during the summer either are used to the extended daylight or they get a good set of curtains to keep the light out at night. Beyond that, you can use a mask to cover your eyes or move to the Lower 48.
Fairbanks is located in the Tanana Valley, in the interior of Alaska. It has a distinctly continental climate, with large variation of temperature from winter to summer. The climate in Fairbanks is conditioned mainly by the response of the land mass to large changes in solar heat received by the area during the year. The sun is above the horizon from 18 to 21 hours during June and July. During this period, daily average maximum temperatures reach the lower 70s. Temperatures of 80 degrees or higher occur on about 10 days each summer. In contrast, from November to early March, when the period of daylight ranges from 10 to less than 4 hours per day, the lowest temperature readings normally fall below zero quite regularly. Low temperatures of -40 degrees or colder occur each winter. The range of temperatures in summer is comparatively low, from the lower 30s to the mid 90s. In winter, this range is larger, from about 65 below to 45 degrees above. This large winter range of temperature reflects the great difference between frigid weather associated with dry northerly airflow from the Arctic to mild temperatures associated with southerly airflow from the Gulf of Alaska, accompanied by chinook winds off the Alaska Range, 80 miles to the south of Fairbanks. Snow cover is persistent in Fairbanks, without interruption, from October through April. Snowfalls of 4 inches or more in a day occur only three times during winter.
In the United States of America, a lot of us grow up learning about the “Bible Belt” here in our country. Typically, these are the states South of the Mason Dixie Line. The Southern Region of the United States that spans across Virginia to TX and all the nooks and crannies in between. The culture around these parts is strongly Christian based. Not to say that there are not any opposers to this fact but the truth still remains. Often in the South you can see different churches in extremely close proximity of each other.
The term “Bible Belt” is a colloquialism used primarily by outsiders to describe a number of areas, especially in the Southern US, where religion, specifically Christianity, is given greater importance in daily life than is typical in other areas of the country. There is no universal definition of the “Bible Belt”. However, the term is usually used to describe areas of the following states: Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, Kentucky and usually North Carolina as well.
I personally grew up in a military family, that was originally from Mississippi, but traveled all across the world and the United States of America. We spent most of our childhood between Clarksville,TN/Fort Campbell,KY, Leesville, LA/ Fort Polk,LA, and Fayetteviile,NC/Fort Bragg, NC. We also lived in a couple of other places outside the South but only for a short amount of time. I say all of that to say this: I have witnessed the South in a very religious way. Everywhere we moved we had a church home and my parents, just like many other parents in the South, made sure that we were all raised in church. It was as if there was an actual culture of Christianity in which there were certain aspects of life that were deemed extremely important such as: it being a must that you had to go to church every Sunday, you could not use the word L.i.e., read your Bible often, etc. We went to other places outside the South, there were still other Christian churches and influence, but not as many churches and laws that were influenced by religion.
The Gallup organization has just released a major new research report that measures relative religiosity state by state, and the results are startling. There really is a Bible belt, and some regions of the country are remarkably secular.
The poll data is straightforward. Over 350,000 persons were interviewed and asked this question: “Is religion an important part of your daily life?”
The data reveal a wide disparity among the states. In Mississippi, 85% answered “yes,” while in Vermont, only 42% did so. That is an incredible margin of difference.
According to the data, the most religious states include Mississippi (85%), Alabama (82%), South Carolina (80%), Tennessee (79%), Louisiana (78%), Arkansas (78%), Georgia (76%), North Carolina (76%), Oklahoma (75%), Kentucky (74%), and Texas (74%).
The states with the lowest responses were Connecticut (55%), Nevada (54%), Rhode Island (53%), Oregon (53%), Washington (52%), Alaska (51%), Massachusetts (48%), Maine (48%), New Hampshire (46%), and Vermont (42%).
I learned from my Experience at PURC that there is a need for the educated people in UNCP to invite all school affiliates and other schools and universities to come together in a conglomerate fashion more often. When I say more often I mean here in Pembroke, not just all the other top universities in the state, but here we also have very competent individuals here on campus. We can host more events like this more often. I also learned some specific information from the guest speakers and the research presenters. For example, I learned that North Carolina needs more advocacy for people affected dramatically from the two recent horrific weather events through the pass few years, and that there are a numerous amount of factories built on fault lines or in close proximity of these fault lines here in the United States.
All of our studies involve the other studies either directly or indirectly. We should come together and make sure that everybody has a voice so that nobody gets left out. This is also for the best interest for students and qualified professionals alike because there is always new information being discovered all the time. In this way we can all be in the KNOW!
I loved the PURC program that we had. My favorite part was hearing the UNC Pembroke choir come through and sing their songs. There was one girl that had an incredible voice. I wish more students could have got involved with the program because it was amazing all together. It was cool to see my classmates from this semester’s Geography course as well as my classmates from previous courses and seeing instructors that I had in previous classes.
I was also very happy to see a lot of fellow African Americans showcasing their skills at the PURC event. That was very inspiring.
It’s always good to see our Lumbee friends do big things. It was very enlightening to meet such an educated person from Robeson County, come and speak to the University about paramount information. https://www.uncp.edu/news/13th-annual-purc-symposium-april-10
Louisiana had long been a French colony. But after the war with Spain, and subsequent treaty, it was turned over to Spain. When the first Acadians arrived in April of 1764, Louisiana was owned by Spain but still retained all of its French culture.
The area of Louisiana, now known as Acadiana, comprised about 22 parishes. It forms a triangle from Lake Charles at the west to Grand Isle at the east, with Pointe Coupee at the apex. The Acadians were the largest group to settle in this area from 1765 to 1785. Although other nationalities were there, the Acadian culture was dominant in many places. When bits and pieces of these other cultures were added to the Acadians, a variation of the Acadian culture was created. These people, and this culture, became known as Cajun … a derivation of the word Acadian.
This post is sort of personal to me because my grandmother’s side of the family has a lot of Cajun blood. She is from Mississippi but she often told us stories growing up about how our Cajun and African American family had mixed with Navajo Indians in the New Orleans area and then migrated to Southern Mississippi. One town where a lot of this Cajun blood had a lot of influence in our family is McComb, MS. Down here they eat Crawfish like potato chips, and for Thanksgiving they eat chitterlings next to (not mixed) gumbo. Their accent is so strong that if you were not accustomed to their way of speech, you would actually need a translator.
The reason the name Cajun came into existence is because they were 1st called Acadians and later because of dialect they changed the name to Cajun. This was most likely because the Acadian culture was the predominant culture that had adopted other cultures in that area to make it one large culture called Cajun. There were many African-Americans and Native Americans in this area that added to the Cajun culture.
“Health Implications of Food Insecurity Healthy bodies and minds require nutritious meals at every age. Inconsistent access to adequate amounts of nutritious food can have a negative impact on the health of individuals of all ages. The USDA estimates that as of 2016, 41 million people, including nearly 13 million children, in the United States are food insecure. That means 1 in 8 individuals (13%) and 1 in 6 children (18%) live in homes without consistent access to adequate food for everyone to live healthy, active lives. This is a national problem with local health implications for individuals and communities across the country. An analysis of county data on health indicators and food insecurity shows that communities with the highest rates of food insecurity face a higher prevalence for diseases such as diabetes and obesity, as well as a higher incidence for other metrics that are tied to health, including lack of health insurance. For the eighth consecutive year, Feeding America has conducted the Map the Meal Gap study to estimate the prevalence of food insecurity for every county and congressional district in the United States. To better understand the relationship between food insecurity and poor health outcomes, the following analysis considers food insecurity in the context of health, one of four related topics that make up the Map the Meal Gap 2018 report briefs. -or41 million 1/8 people are food insecure. In counties with high food insecurity: 1/8 people have diabetes. Made possible with the generous support of the Howard G. Buffett Foundation, Founding Sponsor of the Map the Meal Gap series 2018 1/5 people have a disability. 1/3 people experience obesity.” https://www.feedingamerica.org/sites/default/files/research/map-the-meal-gap/2016/2016-map-the-meal-gap-all-modules.pdf
Hunger isn’t just a problem for the poorest of the poor.It cuts across age, race, gender, and affects Americans in cities, suburbs, and rural areas. In fact, every single county in the U.S. experiences food insecurity (defined here as “limited or uncertain” access to food), according to the latest “Map the Meal Gap” report by Feeding America, a network of 200 U.S. food banks.
The risk of hunger, while omnipresent, varies dramatically based on where you live. In Jefferson County, Mississippi, for example, 38 percent of the population experienced food insecurity in 2014. In Loudon County, Virginia, that share is only 4 percent. In general, though, rural areas are worst affected—two-thirds of the counties in the top 10 most at risk for hunger were rural.
“This new research documents the pervasiveness of hunger in every community in our nation,” Diana Aviv, CEO of Feeding America, said in a statement. “While the economy has improved and unemployment rates have declined, many people are still struggling to access adequate amounts of nutritious food for their families.”
Feeding America’s interactive map helps illustrate these findings. It also shows how the food insecurity rate relates to economic indicators such as poverty and unemployment, and regional fluctuations in the average cost of a meal (which can be anything between $2-$5.6 per meal). From the report’s summary:
As expected, all else equal, higher unemployment and poverty rates are associated with higher rates of food insecurity. A one percentage point increase in the unemployment rate leads to a 0.53 percentage point increase in the overall food-insecurity rate, while a one percentage point increase in poverty leads to a 0.17 increase in food insecurity.
