United States territory

(Bucephala albeola) Bufflehead, short term for (Buffalo-Head). Commonly known as the butterballs of North American waterfowl. Dating back to 500,000 years ago lie fossil remains of these little divers in Alaska, California, Illinois, Texas, Kansas, and Washington. Generally living in North America, yet some occasionally arrive in Iceland, Japan, and Greenland. Buffleheads are native to North America. "Buffleheads have an extensive breeding range, with particularly high densities across the boreal regions of British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan, and the sub-arctic deltas including the Athabasca and Slave River parklands" (Gauthier, G. 1993). A few breeding grounds can be found locate in the northern parts of the United States. Their general populations spend most of their migration and winter time on two opposite sides of the U.S, the west coast and the east coast congregating in protected bays and estuaries. Unlike many ducks, buffleheads are one of a few species that remain monogamous. And return to the same nesting site year after year. While breeding pairs gather together they perform a courtship behavior that expedites the breeding activity. While courtship occurs, the males bob their heads and fly over the females for them to recognize their brilliant black and white underside and their bright pink legs. He then lowers his landing gear…

friends and family. Possibly unknown to you, most of these activities you enjoy can be classified as sub-territories, specifically tribal territories, according to Desmond Morris’s writing “Territorial Behavior”. Some examples you may be familiar with are book clubs, political parties, biker gangs, gun clubs, fraternities or sororities, and so on. Desmond Morris’s research and expertise in animal and human behavior confirm the fact that almost all of us partake in these sub-groups and feel a…

Badass U Articles Summary True Alpha? True Alpha The word “alpha” has become very popular in the last decade or so when describing human social dynamics. But the definition of the term isn’t so clear. Most define it as being the leader of men (or women). Or, as some insecure douchebag who is excessively aggressive. And with the first definition, interestingly, people will look at wolves and gorillas to give examples of alphas in the wild. But there really are no alpha males there. Scientists…

personal territories formulated by social norms and other verbal and nonverbal notifications sent by others. The term “public,” specifically means areas where individuals have freedom of access, but not necessarily of action (Guerrero, DeVito & Hecht, 1999). In this paper, I will describe my observations of how various people established their personal territories in five different places: the library, the elevator, the café, the concert, and the children’s playing room. People are able to take…

people to join us and help us to fight this war. I walked to the lake and sat down for a minute that cool breeze was so nice, I still wish things were this way were before the war broke out. Before the war broke out there was balance between dark and light, we were a thriving pack of 34 wolves and growing but then the darkest pack in the forest the Demons took over our land killing all of our members including the alpha female, male, and the beta female now I’m the only alpha left in the pack,…

we need to look at the sociology of immigration. The Sayad (1977) showed that the first two generations of Kabyle immigrants in France were strongly connected with their country of origin. The relation with the territory of Algeria, Kabylia and more specifically with the village of origin was mainly characterized by the hope and the project of the grand return (Sayad, 1977). This visceral link with the territory is particularly illustrated by the funeral rite of repatriating deceased bodies to…

Establishing Personal Territories In A Public Setting The understanding of social norms is one of the major formulations people use to keep society running in a respectful, safe, and proper way. In public settings people establish, maintain, and change their personal territories formulated by social norms and other verbal and nonverbal notifications sent by others. The term “public,” specifically means areas where individuals have freedom of access, but not necessary of action (Guerrero,…

The accountant of the conquest, and the making of what is today Latin America is a debatable subject in the field of humanities, especially in the field history. The most widespread approaches of this history are that of violence, war, oppression, possession of territories, and foundation of new colonies. In Frontier of Possessions, Tamar Herzog, a historian, professor of Latin American presents an account of the conquest from a different perspective, one that proposes that the acquisition of…

In 1978, the Canadian Government began to look to the North for economic expansion as a result of the vast resources of the North (Sinclair). The area is rich in gold and oil and the rest of the world also saw the economic potential in the North (Sinclair). In 1985, the United States of America began traveling through the Northwest Passage without the permission from Canada, lobbying the Northern waters to become international (Dickason and Newbigging 277). Canada saw the United States as a…

increased from one fifth to one third, approximately 400 million people. This negatively declining trend, however, has not been characterised by every state within India, some managing to escape these processes of increasing poverty. As explained by Harriss (1999), Kannan (1999), and many other academic works, the southern state of Kerala is an example of this positive trend towards reducing poverty, referred to as the Kerala model of development. Another India state which has experienced…
