Why Acquisitions Make Sense In Consumer And Retail - Forbes - 2 views

  • This bodes well for growth companies in the consumer and retail space. It also bodes well for investors, whether they use an online investing platform or invest offline.
  • The total value of consumer-retail deals actually exceeded the value of internet and software M&A, combined, in 2013. In 2013, the consumer and retail market was about $91 billion according to PriceWaterhouseCooper.  The internet and software industries had a total of $55 billion in M&A for 2013.

    Retail services are so profitable and this relates to cultural landscape, because it says something about a land that spends and earns more money in services that help consumers than in areas that supply food and resources.
  •  
    Retail services are one of the largest areas of consumer services and the tertiary sector as a whole.
  •  
    I wonder if these services will become more or less profitable in the future?

Religious Affiliations and Percentage Practiced In the United States - 3 views

  •  
    1) This map depicts the various religions, denominations, and sects within the United States. It shows how these faiths are distributed across the nation and how dense they are in their respective locations. This map is invaluabe in describing what Americans believe and where they do so. 2)I chose this map because of how helpful and powerful it is. It does a fantastic job at being straigh forward in showing the geographer where different faiths reside. From this information, the human geographer can make powerful inferences on why things are the way they are regarding religion. 3) Using the "Religious Landscape Survey" website, the students should write a well-thought-out response answering the prompt "How are different faiths distributed across America?"

Global city migration map - 1 views

  •  
    In the map, it shows that many large cities in the U.S. have over a million foreign born residents. Large cities in most developed countries are in the same range, but interestingly cities in the middle east and the Arabian peninsula have over a million foreign born residents too. This may be because unstable and war-torn countries nearby have pushed people to more stable areas in the region.

The foreign born from Africa by county in the United States, 2000 - 0 views

  •  
    There aren't many foreign born Africans residing in the United States. The ones that do live in the United States live in either New York City, Washington D.C., or Southern California. I believe this happens because those areas are major cities in the US.
