...Introduction Most of Texas’ phenomenal growth over the last decade followed the route of Interstate 35 from the Rio Grande Valley to San Antonio, Austin and Dallas-Fort Worth, a broad swath that included seven of the ten fastest-growing counties in the state. And much of that growth was fueled by the fast-growing Hispanic population. Hispanics account for two-thirds of Texas' growth over the past decade and now make up 38 percent of the state's total population, according to new local U.S. Census figures. And forty-two percentage of the general population in Dallas is Hispanic. "As Census figures show, Texas is becoming more ethnically and racially diverse. Without the tremendous growth of the Hispanic community, Texas would have had very little growth," said Sen. Many Hispanic-Americans have many common heritage traits, but they also have many differences depending on their country of origin. For example, Mexican Americans make up the largest Hispanic subgroup with over 350,000 of them residing in Dallas which contributes to this being the ninth most populous city in America and the third most populous city in the state of Texas. In addition, the Dallas area economy is the sixth largest in the United States. Geopolitical features Dallas is located in north Texas, and a major city in the American South, Dallas is the main core of the largest inland metropolitan area in the United States. Dallas is the county seat of Dallas County. Portions of the city extend...

India is one country many people long to see, and having seen it once, wish to return again and again. This may be because of the friendly nature of the people of Gujarat.

...Tarrant County, the sixteenth most populous county in the United States, and the third most populous in Texas covers an area of 902 square miles, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Tarrant County was named in Honor of General Edward H. Tarrant of the Republic of Texas militia. Tarrant County is home to The Dallas Cowboys, The Texas Rangers, and this is where I call home. There are many talking points to cover when discussing Tarrant County, however, the three most important ones, in my opinion, are Government, Education, and Transportation.

As stated above Tarrant County was named after General Edward H. Tarrant, commander of militia forces of the Republic of Texas at the Battle of Village Creek in 1841.

...bastard And a rapist known as freedom, free-DOOM Democracy, liberty, and justice were revolutionary code names………. WHO WILL SURVIVE IN AMERICA? WHO WILL SURVIVE IN AMERICA? WHO WILL SURVIVE IN AMERICA? WHO WILL SURVIVE IN AMERICA?” - Gil Scott Heron Freedom or free-doom is the pejorative option that confronts many group and individuals in this society such as The Black Panther Party.

The economic substructure often illustrate important core concepts within society, the mean of production is ultimate detriment of all of aspect and all its populous dynamics. The capitalistic nature of American society in juxtaposition to the exploitative mean of production is unsatisfactory for many and truly beneficial for some. Many individuals being exploited believed this to be self-evident, with labor and taxation being the oppressors mean of production. To truly understand to political organization of a party one understand its economic intention. The way in which history has unfolded has been purely economic; the mitigation of the black population in has been systemic.

...America’s New Look as an Urban Nation When the United States was founded as a nation after the Revolutionary War it was largely agrarian in nature. Even when people lived in the village, that town was made up fewer that ten houses on average and only occasionally had other buildings such as a school, church, or small store. The people lived together for protection, and traveled out to their farm land everyday to till, plant and harvest. With the advent of the industrial revolution staring in the early part of the nineteenth century and then even more so with the information revolution of the 1960's onward people began moving away from the country and into the city because that was where they worked. There were enough farms to support the people in the urban areas, and transportation became easier with trains and large trucks. This rapid growth, from a farm-based economy to one that relied on manufactured goods and then today's serviced-based economy has altered the face of the nation. The Problems of Urban Growth The problems the country faced, population skyrocketed, and city government faced problems of how to provide residence with needed services and safe living conditions. The separation of people into different groups and how those people adapted to urban life during the transition away from their propinquity roots are all distinct elements of how America became an urban nation. When people begin moving closer together there are issues with the increase in people that...

...Elaine, Bontempi November 15, 2008 India and the United States Abstract India will become the most populous nation by 2030. Thanks to the fast growing software and IT revolution, India is changing its role around the world as formable economic competitor. Despite these achievements, it should be noted that employment growth in the Indian services sector has been quite modest, underscoring the importance of achieving rapid industrial and agricultural growth. Poverty and the threat of HIV/AIDS are threatening India at a very alarming rate. In contrast, the United States houses about 4.6 percent of the world’s population, which was estimated to be nearly 6.5 billion at the end of 2005. United States is the world’s third most populous country, trailing China (1.31 billion) and India (1.08 billion). The transformation of the global economy in the last decade, fostered by the spread of the Internet and other information technologies, has significantly changed this equation for the United States, instead of leading the world in information technology...
