Psychological and biological factors are the main driving factors for the crime. Geographical factors have to be considered, as well. People living in the same area have similar morals and ethics. Indeed, psychology doesn’t have a significant effect in that sense. When taking the geographical factors into account, we can observe that crime rate is higher in the south and <span>west. 

</span>In 1958, the South had a homicide rate of nine per 100,000 compared to three per 100,000 for the U.S. One approach suggests that people in the South try to settle the disputes with the help of violence. Southerners pass this "culture of honor" behavior from generation to generation which it explains the biological aspect of violence. They honor to take the justice with their own hands.  

Poverty and hot weather are two other additional factors of violence in the South. South states, including <span>Mississippi, West Virginia, Arkansas, Alabama, and Kentucky have got the lowest per capita income. How weather also makes people more aggressive, forces them to hit the streets and commit a crime.</span>

Rhetoric is the art of discourse, the effective or persuasive speaking or writing, which puts an emphasis on learning exploitation of figures of speech and other compositional techniques. The founder of rhetoric is Greek philosopher Aristotle, who considered rhetoric to be a counterpart of both logic and politics. He defined rhetoric as: "the faculty of observing in any given case the available means of persuasion.”

 

<span>2.      </span>I believe the correct answer is Greece.

 

<span>The term rhetoric has its origins in Greek peninsula and it was derived from the Greek  "rhetorike techne" meaning the "art of an orator". This phrase comes from the word rhetor (speaker, orator, teacher of rhetoric) which is related to the word rhesis (speech). </span>
