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>

Name 3 ways middle east countries compensate for not having water
Dmitrij [34]

A water scarcity report issued recently as a collaboration of several U.S. intelligence agencies predicts that the likelihood of conflict over water will increase in the coming decades. The report argues that the Middle East, as perhaps the most water impoverished region of the world, will be particularly susceptible to so-called “water wars.”

The strain on the global water supply is the result of a number of factors. First, most of the Earth’s water is simply unavailable for consumption, sanitation, or agricultural purposes because 97% of it is salt water. Of the remaining 3%, only 1% is available for direct human use. Moreover, in some areas of the world, the available freshwater supply is being depleted faster than it is being replenished. Saudi Arabia, for example, gets 70% of its water from 21 aquifers where water is being extracted faster than nature can restore the supply. In the case of Yemen, the state’s current water demand exceeds its renewable water resources by 900 million cubic meters per year.

As the world’s population continues to grow, the demand for water will increase correspondingly. The high population growth rates, hovering around 2% in the region compared to the world average of 1.1%, and paucity of arable land in the Middle East will make water shortages in the region particularly acute.  The United Nations predicts that by 2025, 30 countries will be water scarce, out of which 18 will be in the Middle East and North Africa

Elanso [62]
“El desarrollo integral es el nombre general que se le da a una serie de políticas que trabajan en conjunto para fomentar el desarrollo sostenible tanto en los países en desarrollo como en los subdesarrollados. Debido a que el tema del desarrollo se ha vuelto tan esencial en los últimos años, especialmente a medida que las naciones del mundo se vuelven más integradas e interconectadas, la OEA tiene una secretaría completa dedicada a esta área. La Secretaría Ejecutiva para el Desarrollo Integral trabaja para apoyar, facilitar y promover el desarrollo integral de los Estados miembros en coordinación con medidas para fortalecer la democracia, la seguridad multidimensional y la promoción de los derechos humanos.”

Basically, an economic system refers to the different systems of production, allocation of resources, exchanges, and distribution of goods and services. This happens in almost all societies but differs in the policies that are being implemented and followed.</span>

What physical features does Greece have that would encourage the Greeks to make their living from the sea
elena55 [62]
Actually already this: living next to the sea already encourages this; as sea offers easy transportation and food source: one only needs to catch the fish, and does not need to tend to them throughout their life. And Greeks live on Islands and Peninsulas so they have a very easy access to the sea.
