THE ECONOMY IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
We
know that in the U.S.A, the economy is base on the Capitalism. This
type of economy alouds people to work where and as they want, and
they can also amass money.
The
problem in this economy is that it makes a big inequality between
rich and poor people.
We
can easy see this in, for example, the State of New York has a
neighborhood just for rich people call The Hamptons, but there is a
neighborhood call Bushwick, in Brooklyn where most of people don not
have much money. This is the seventh poorest neighborhood in New
York. Like this two places we can find more and more in U.S.A.
This is a photo of a mansion in the Hamptons. Almost all the houses there are like this one.
The
United States of America is also a neoliberal conuntry, it means that
is easy for citizens to set up a business; the State do not really
take part of things, and there is also a diference between rich and
poor people as we saw before.
Although the economy in U.S.A is base in the free market, there are laws that adjust buisness in many ways. Some of this rules protect the consumer from products with low quality, guarantee the worker a job save job with low risks, and laws that protect the enviroment.
This is a drawing of all the presidents that The United States of America have had.
He was born in the 1961. He was the senator of Illinois State since 2005 till 2008. He was the first "afro-american" nominated for being president under the Democratic Party and the first one to beacome a black president.
He has been the president of the United States of America since the 20th of January, 2009; till now.

4. Winter Wheat belt: Over the corn ring
5. Wheat belt: More in the north, in cold climates, but not too cold

Another type of cultive really use in the U.S.A. is the one that uses a big sprinkle to irrigate the cultives that have been seed forming a circle or a square with rounds corners.
In Kansas, we can find a huge amount of this kind of cultives.

RANCHING:
The principal methods of ranching in this country is the extensive ranching and the intensive ranching.
The principal ranchings are:
-Bovine
-Ovine
-Porcine

In the west of the United States we can find a huge piece of land dedicated for the extensive ranching, for, surely, cows and sheeps. We also find milky cows in the north of the country. We should say that the principal mundial productor of milk is the U.S.A.
The united States is also an important productor of porcine productos.
The next maps are of the organization of the agriculture and the ranching in U.S.A.:
ALASKA agriculture and ranching.
This is a greenhouse in Alaska.
We can find most of the agriculture in Matanuska's Valley, or in the Kenai Peninsula.
This is Matanuska's Valley situation.
Agriculture in Matanuska Valley.
This is Kenai Peninsula situation.
The principal cultives are:

The fishing activity in Alaska is really important because they can get pin salmon, cod, haddock fich and marbel crab in Beriing's sea and North Pacific Ocean.
