Ok

Let's get back to the show

Hello

Everyone

Welcome to america hundred microscope advanced uh james

Here

So we're going to continue are talk today about american regions

Yeah

Last time will learn about most of the major regions in the united states

啊

Today you said you're going to talk about how certain states or certain regions are glued together based on culture or other issues

Yeah

We're going to start with a region that's put together based on weather and a region in americamericthat we

We all all torato ally

Toratto ally that doesn't sound fun

It's not is

Is it tied together by natural disaster toratoes and a dutise states is a country that gets the most toratoes in the whole world

And they mostly happen in one region

Remember we last lesson about the midwest one of the regions

Now this region is where the tornato ally is it kind of just goes down the middle of the united states

Alweway down tertexas

By the way

If you read the news

You generally hear hurricane

Phhurrice obviously also a major

A natural disaster

What's the difference between tornto and hurricane

There's quite a few differences

But the basic one is hurricane start over warm water

So they have to start over the ocean okay

And toratoes ororato start out over land and her cacanes built over over time

Ornates can happen rather suddenly

So biits probably more destructive um that would be hard to argue

Because it depends on where the tornato hits

Because a lot tornato hit just fields and nothth's destroyed ed 卷卷

That tornato ally

But they can also hit cities and towns

Because

Because massive destruction and lots of death

Since you know this is the toratto ally was the high ocao of tornades are there any coping mechanisms well know most people

If they can they move

But a lot of places like a lot of houses

People have to build what are called storm sellers

Which are basically basements

So they have them make sure

They part of their house goes into the ground

So that way they cannot be blown away during a tornato

And they can just hide yes

Unll the tornato pass because i'm like a hurricane

Which last days a tornato will last minutes okay

So that's one

That's tied together by a natural disaster

You could also argue things like the south georora florida

Most places are tiurtogether by hurricanes

Because that's where hurricane hhum

But some of our states are tied together

Because of um religious belief

Well

That is the bible belt

You have a bible belt

The bible belt

The bible bet is the region of america

Mostly in the southern states that just tend to be a higher church attendance rate

People tend to be a bit more conservative um and more religious

Yes

And this bible stke

Because the most common religion would be forms of christianity um

That would also be major power

When it comes to voting

Isn't it yeah

They have a significant power

When it comes to votes in the country

Because they tend to have conservative beliefs

They tend to vote for people who you know go along with their beliefs

So yeah

It's a major boating block

Now there's one more major belt we have in america

It's called the rust belt

The rust belt are ust

Yeah

Rust does it have anything to do with iron kind of

Yes

So the rust belt is the states

That are kind in the middwest of north

Like around illinois

Ohiaround

Michigan and states here

Because the rubelt we call this

Because these are places i used to be big into manufacturing of cars and steel and things like this

But nowadays is lot of these factories are either shut down or auautomated

So a lot of the workers are laid off

Laid off

So a lot of these places

You know are kind of having recessions or problems

Because they are not not ving enououinveinvestor or don't have enough a ough available for the people

Because i think this is a very common problem faced by some old industrial towns alright

So now let's move on to some origional stereotypes in china

We have quite a lot of regional stereotypes and good or bad and saying people from these provinces

These regions

They're all like this

I'm sure

There's something like that in america as well

Yeah

We do have regional stereotypes

And most of them

Most people don't think the very positive

But yes we do have regional stereotypes

So we'll go and and start with probably the most common

When people have in is a southern stereotypes

Whenever you hear southern accent in tv shows or or movies

Sometimes you already formed a yeah

Because a lot of times in media tv are they always show the southernto to be kind sslow simple or uneducated

But that's not true

Because you have also have major universities in the south

And also yeah that that thereotypes far from true because in the south

I mean nasa has lots of in texas and florida

We also have big universities like georgia institutive technology

Yeah

Another big schools in this area

So yes they have an accent

But this area filled with educated people no different

Than in the other part of the country

Yeah

Mean accents is really has nothing to do with education level right another common steyootype

I think people would have is about people in california

Because this is one of the states

That are most portrait on tv or movies

Because los angeles is in california

Yeah

So in california people have kind of two things to come to mind the first one is the surfer

Because this got the beaches in california

We get the people or kind of playing on the beach

Lay back in very relax ed very relax bronze easy going

You also have kind of the tech people that really smart

No tech developer

It people specially around the same same from cisco area yeah

Because california where where we have apple

Because all these ccccccon valley

No yeah

Because times many stustudents would say yeah

What is the standard american accent

If you think about the most popular or since accenset you see in tv ation a lot of them are california accts

When yes is because that's where hollywood is yes

True

And some of the major shows right now still on air like modern family the big band theory they're all set in california

Yeah

And theare shot in california is well

So they kind of talk with no fafairly standard access

Yes

Even though some of the charactures then show aren't playing californians

And then we have of course taxes excess ts yes ah so we all imentioned cowboys in the previous episode lopeople people think of taxas

That texas are cowboys

Everyone who has guns are worth a big hat

Worth writing boots and all these other things

But that's just not true is it

But there are people who do this in texas

Because there are cowboys in texas

But texas is a very big state

It's the second most populist

It's got major cities

Texas has a variety of people

You got oil men

People who are begin the oil business

Teg nasa has you know just's nasa office

So there's all kinds people in taxas

Not just a range filld was cowboys

That's strange

And then of course we come to new york

When people think of new york

They think of manhattan

They think of everyone's super rich super elite

Well when it comes to manhattan

People being rich is and far from the truth

Because it's that place is really expensive

But outside of manhattan

Because

Because new york

Even new york city is not just manhattan

Right um out at in new york city

We have not of working class people live in new york

Doing service jobs stuff

Like that so a lot of people

While they think of new york

As you know ally rich kind of liberal people in truth

The city is very diverse

It's one of the most diverse cities in the world

In the world yeah

And what about washington state

Where you're from washington stay

We're in from

Well what a lot of people think of washington

They think of very liberal open minded people and progressive or in kind of hipppies people were kind of free loving

Because washington is one of the most progressive states in the country

It's also one of the places where marijuana has been legalized ed okay

So that's more progressive more liberal than let's a new england limiatlantic and new england

Yeah

But this is not exactly true at least for washington

Because washington we also have a lot of big industry

There too like amazon on microsoft boeing we have a lot of tech people and business people

There are too so ah also very serious very serious people so so lot lot these stereooppes

We have them just don't

Don't really threrepvery well

Yeah

I mean it's just sometimes the things that you watch on tv

They exaggerthe stereotypes to to make it comical

Make it fun

Yeah

As what comedy is yeah

And if you really want to know people in these areas

And what they're like think the best way is either to visit or try to talk to as many people as possible

Yeah

That turns like a good idea

So on that note we will end this episode
