Examples of frontier in the following topics:
-
- In 1890, the frontier line had broken up (census maps defined the frontier line as a line beyond which the population was less than two persons per square mile).
- The frontier's impact on popular culture was enormous, as evidenced by dime novels, Wild West shows, and, after 1910, Western movies set on the frontier.
- The idea that the frontier provided the core defining quality of the United States was elaborated on by the historian Frederick Jackson Turner, who built his 1893 "Frontier Thesis" around this notion.
- Nevertheless, the ethos and storyline of the "American frontier" had passed.
- The cowboy, the quintessential symbol of the American frontier, ca. 1887.
-
- In the new frontier regions, the revivals of the Second Great Awakening took the form of vast and exhilarating camp meetings.
- In the newly settled frontier regions, the revivals of the Second Great Awakening took the form of camp meetings.
- They were an integral part of the frontier expansion of the Second Great Awakening.
-
- The production possibility frontier shows the combinations of output that could be produced using available inputs.
- In economics, the production possibility frontier (PPF) is a graph that shows the combinations of two commodities that could be produced using the same total amount of the factors of production.
- In this instance, the production possibilities frontier is also the consumption possibilities frontier.
- Trade enables consumption outside the production possibility frontier.
- Explain the benefits of trade and exchange using the production possibilities frontier (PPF)
-
- The circular flow of income can also be analyzed using the production possibility frontier (PPF).
- A point of the frontier line indicates the efficient use of available inputs, while a point beneath the curve shows inefficiency.
- The graph illustrates a typical production possibilities frontier curve.
- State the function of the circular flow diagram and the production possibilities frontier
-
- A production-possibility frontier (PPF) graphs the combinations for the production of two commodities with which the same amounts are used.
- Within a market system, economists use the production possibility frontier (PPF) to graph the combinations of the amounts of two commodities that can be produced using the same amount of each factor of production.
- Explain the benefits of trade and exchange using the production possibilities frontier (PPF)
-
- Early frontier areas east of the Appalachian Mountains included the Connecticut River valley.
- Two events in 1763 severely tested colonial relations with American Indian tribes on the frontier: Pontiac's War and the Conestoga Massacre.
- The Warfare on the North American frontier was brutal, and the killing of prisoners, the targeting of civilians, and other atrocities were widespread.
- In the aftermath of the French and Indian War, the frontier of Pennsylvania remained unsettled.
-
- The concept is illustrated on a production possibility frontier (PPF) where all points on the curve are points of maximum productive efficiency (i.e., no more output can be achieved from the given inputs).
- By improving these processes, an economy or business can extend its production possibility frontier outward, so that efficient production yields more output.
-
- The Second Great Awakening served as an organizing process that created, "a religious and educational infrastructure" across the western frontier that encompassed social networks, a religious journalism that provided mass communication, and church-related colleges.
- The Female Missionary Society and the Maternal Association, both active in Utica, New York, were highly organized and financially sophisticated women's organizations responsible for many of the evangelical converts of the New York frontier.
- Each denomination that participated in the Second Great Awakening had assets that allowed it to thrive on the frontier.
- The Methodists had an efficient organization that depended on ministers known as "circuit riders," who sought out people in remote frontier locations.
- The circuit riders came from among the common people, which helped them establish rapport with the frontier families they hoped to convert.
-
- Berkeley had refused to retaliate for a series of Indian attacks on frontier settlements, so others took matters into their own hands, attacking Indians, chasing Berkeley from Jamestown, Virginia, and torching the capital.
- In 1674 a group of yeomen farmers on the Virginia frontier demanded that Native Americans living on treaty-protected lands be driven out or killed.
- Governor Berkeley still refused to act against Native Americans, however, and Bacon and his army issued the "Declaration of the People of Virginia," which accused Berkeley's administration of levying unfair taxes, appointing friends to high places, and failing to protect frontier settlements from Native American attacks.
-
- The final important consideration in assessing productivity potential is the production-possibility frontier (PPF), which essentially outlines the maximum production quantity of two goods (in the scope of our current technological capacity and supply).
- In this graph, the prospective production-possibility frontier shifts to the right, implying a higher supply or improved technological production ability of the two goods being discussed (in this case guns and butter).
