Moscow, Russia
Question 1. Moscow, Russia- I choose this because it is the center of all things in Russia (capital city and the most populous federal part of Russia, a major political, economic, cultural and scientific center in Russia)

Question 2. Culture- majority of believers belong to the Orthodox Christian (adopted Christianity under Prince Vladimir of Kiev in 988, Russia soon laid foundations for the rise of the Russian Orthodox Church) Orthodox teachings include the doctrine of the Holy Trinity and the inseparable but distinguishable union of the two natures of Jesus Christ--one divine, the other human. Among saints, Mary has a special place as the Mother of God. Russian Orthodox services, noted for their pageantry, involve the congregation directly by using only the vernacular form of the liturgy. The liturgy itself includes multiple elaborate systems of symbols meant to convey the content of the faith to believers.

Question 3. Politics/govt- federation (political parties of Communist, United Russia, Duma, Liberal Democratic).

Question 4. Speech-

Question 5. Internet usage- Moscow has certain areas of Internet connections, some have to pay to use, others are just wide open networks, but may not necessarily be secured.

The religion was influenced through the spread of Eastern Orthodox Christianity which was created in the Byzantine Empire due to its conflict between the use of icons to illustrate famous stories. The government was influenced by Justinian’s Code which was created to organize the Roman set of laws, the government structure of the Byzantine empire in which is ruled by a monarchy, and its political issues such as foreign invasions from neighboring societies.

    It was not an easy beginning. English settlers began arriving on the James River in Chesapeake Bay, region of Virginia, in the spring of 1607.They hoped to make the first permanent English settlement. But, there were many things that almost wiped out the whole settlement. There were three main causes of death; disease, starvation/dehydration, and attacks. Most of the available water supply was brackish and contaminated by the settlers themselves. The American land was new to the settlers, and gave them a harder time with unskilled workers. Obviously, there would be Indians (most likely were Jamestown is located because it is nearing water) crossing paths. I think that they thought too confidently about the conditions of Jamestown.…

    Baja California is one of the 31 states in Mexico. It is both the northernmost and westernmost state of Mexico. But before becoming a state in 1953, the area was known as the North Territory of Baja California. It has an area of 70,113 km2 (27,071 sq mi), or 3.57% of the land mass of Mexico and comprises the northern half of the Baja California peninsula. The state is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean, on the east by Sonora, the U.S. State of Arizona, and the Gulf of California, and on the south by Baja California Sur. Its northern limit is the U.S. state of California. The state has a population of about 2,844,469, and an estimated 3,165,776 more than the sparsely populated Baja California Sur to the south, and similar to San Diego County, California on its north. Over 75% of the population lives in the capital city, Mexicali, or in Ensenada and Tijuana. Other important cities include San Felipe, Rosarito and Tecate. The population of the state is composed of Mestizos, mostly immigrants from other parts of Mexico, and, as with most northern Mexican states, a large population of Mexicans of European ancestry, and also a large minority group of East Asian, Middle Eastern and indigenous descent. Additionally, there is a large immigrant population from the United States due to its proximity to San Diego and the cheaper cost of living compared to San Diego. There is also a significant population from Central America. Many immigrants moved to Baja California for a better quality of life and the number of higher paying jobs in comparison to the rest of Mexico and Latin America. Baja California is the twelfth largest state by area in Mexico. Its geography ranges from beaches to forests and deserts. The backbone of the state is the Sierra de Baja California, where the Picacho del Diablo, the highest point of the peninsula, is located. This mountain range effectively divides the weather patterns in the state.…

    Replicated natural wonders of the world, indoor man-made waterfalls, simulated pirate ship battles, a dolphin habitat, and indoor gondola rides are a few of the small attractions that place modern day Las Vegas as a hotspot on the US map. In fact, there are so many small attractions blended with large attractions that the experience of Las Vegas itself has become an attraction. Disregarding traditional methods and exploring outrageous ideas in the areas of engineering, architecture, and planning, this city has become a very accepted destination that has become a marketing phenomenon. For a city that is in the middle of nowhere, it has a made quite an impression on the people it draws. It is no surprise that this city has had a history of prosperity and boom.…

    The tumultuous democratic experiment the Russian Federation embarked on upon the collapse of the Soviet Union has produced a system of governance difficult to define. The system is characterized by a strong central government with democratic elections (albeit, not “free and fair” elections), a massive and corrupt bureaucracy, a dominant single party (Yedinaya Rossiya – United Russia), and a judiciary subservient to the interests of the state and criminal organizations. Authoritarianism and democracy are generally conceived as antithetical…

    During the 6th and 7th centuries, Russia, known as Kievan Rus’, steadily grew relations with Byzantium. Kiev’s ideal location led it to become a prosperous trading center, from which Russians visited Constantinople. Amidst the trade and cultural diffusion, Orthodox Christianity reached the Russians. Vladimir I converted his kingdom to this form of Christianity. Shortly afterward, priests from Byzantium arrived to educate and train the Russian priesthood. In time, a separate Russian Orthodox church was formed. Many characteristics of Orthodox Christianity infiltrated Russian culture such as the emphasis on almsgiving and monogamy became prevalent. Development of Russian literature occurred when introduced to the Cyrillic alphabet which originates…

    Viva Las Vegas! The City of Sin! The oasis in the desert, which became one of the world’s fastest growing cities, is also known as a play land and an escape from the real world. Oasis in the Mojave Desert, Nevada, has through the years build up a reputation as the Sin City! People flocked to Las Vegas, in the early days, when rules practically didn’t exist. Las Vegas Blvd - The Strip, the famous boulevard where all the big hotels and casinos are situated, was known as a place where there were few rules: “In the initial years of the Las Vegas Strip, "no" was a big word - no cover, no minimum, no state speed limit, no sales tax, no waiting period for marriages, no state income tax and no regulation of gambling as it is known today.” This has changed through the years, but Sin City still has its reputation for being the city where many impossible things become possible.…

    Russia should be considered a semi-democratic country. They have the characteristics of a democratic country, yet at the same time they don't. For example, they have freedom of speech but to an extent. As shown in a round table discussion show that's been on air for years. But, its only good things are spoken about the government and Putin. Also they can vote and what not but the government tries to rig it. Another example is that people may oppose the government, but may not publicize it widely. A show of this would be like the man that broadcast his ideas about the government on the radio, but he is only aloud to at on station. Any other station has him blacklisted. So not many people hear his ideas. Another problem is there freedom to assemble. They can do this but only with the permission of the government. Also they sometimes pay kids to participate in rallies that oppose anyone against the government and Putin. And lets not forget about the private owned businesses because these are essential. In Russia businesses can be privately owned to an extent plus they can choose what to sell and how much, also they decide who they hire. Also, the Russian Federation confirms a citizen's right to state healthcare and medical assistance free of charge. Citizens do not pay for this but instead companies and government subsidies do. Plus the health care is poor. They may have well trained doctors but indecent equipment. This is a helping cause in the reason why the death rate is higher than the birth rate. The life expectancy is also low. These are all signs of a semi-democratic…
