Why are states on eastern side of united states called midwest and that is because the Great Lakes states were originally the Northwest Territory, since the United States didn't own anything past that. After the Louisiana Purchase, it didn't make any sense to refer to them as the Northwest, so they became the Middle West. In the US, the Midwest is positioned more east than it is west.

It's not the middle or the west of the US. Because when the US was expanding in the 19th century - and when many regions were initially being named - the “Midwest” was to the west of the main population centers in the “13 colony” states on the Eastern Seaboard

Travka [436]

Answer: Celtic Sea

Fraggle Rock is a children's puppet television series created by Jim Henson.

This sea is an area of the Atlantic Ocean off the south coast of Ireland. Its limits are unclear, but are often considered to be: Saint George's Channel, Bristol Channel, the English Channel and the Bay of Biscay. The name is mostly used by marine biologists, oceanographers and the oil industry.

To mark the brainliest pls two people and <br> Mention the ideal aims of democracy
maxonik [38]
A democracy is a system in which the people vote and everyone is equal (ideally). In practice, in most if not all democracies (especially in America), some group or groups are disadvantaged in some way, be it voting rights, judicial rights, social rights, etc. This widespread inequality has led to the concept of <span>democratic ideals. </span><span>It has nothing to do with the Democratic Party, it is just mostly associated with that because the Democratic Party is trying to move further to the left and be more socially liberal to combat the Republican Party becoming more socially conservative. While there are disadvantaged groups in America (gays, trans people, Muslims, African-Americans, and the mentally/physically disabled to name a few), there will always be the </span><span>democratic ideals </span><span>there to combat that discrimination. The political parties of America are no longer about the economy. They are almost solely dedicated to the social issues in the United States and abroad.</span>

Which statement about the life review is FALSE? a. It is sometimes simple nostalgia or reminiscence. b. It can be more social th
allsm [11]

Answer:

The correct answer is: d) Nostalgia represents a preoccupation with self that is meaningless and is evidence of egocentrism.

Explanation:

Life review refers to the universal mental process or inner experience that occur in elders or people who have near-to-death experiences and might be thought of as viewing a movie of the person's entire life as a reminiscence, contemplation or review. Becoming aware of our own mortality and vulnerability migh provoke stress, anxiety or depressive symptoms, while one comes to evaluate their journey in relation to others and to oneself.

Recent studies support the idea that evoking nostalgia has a positive effect on psychological well-being of people going through this process. Thus, nostalgia cannot be thought as meaningless. Furthermore, the oppposite is true: nostalgia can change the state of mind from negative to positive reminiscense.
