Girl: Do you know where Indiana is?
Guy: Isn't it in Michigan or something?
Girl: No, I think it's a state.
Guy: Yea, one of those made-up ones, like Kansas.

Get the Indiana mug.Mainly teenagers who all share a common love for the arts and music. They listen to many bands most people haven't heard of and tend to dress however they want, usually ruling out the rules of fashion. One may see these "indie kids" in a local coffee shop, art gallery, or thrift store. These people aren't "emo". They also tend to wear warm neutral tones as opposed to black. They are fairly reserved and tend to be open minded as well as opinionated.
here are some examples of what indie kids look like and listen to:

Get the indie mug.Someone who doesn't need a label like punk, emo, prep, jock. They wear what they want and listen to what they want and do what they want. They'll shop at Abercrombie, but will listen to underground screamo music. They won't say (or think) , "Oh, I can't buy this shirt. It's so punk! It's not prep enough! I'm a prep!" They'll have a friend who is all punk and a friend who is prep, but they don't see them that way. This is because they don't label other people either. They're usually against labels and stereotypes. They won't let people who label them influence them.
Individualist: Wow, I like these skinny jeans....
Preppy person: But it's so emo!
Individulaist: Soooo.........
Preppy Person: I thought you were a prep! You wear Abercrombie!
Individualist: I'm not a prep. It's not like I wear Abercrombie everyday. How is that prep?
Preppy Person: Uhhh.....it just is. So you're emo?
Individualist: No.
Preppy Person: Then what are you?!
Individualist:I'm not anything, because I don't label myself. Please leave me alone now so I can buy these pants in peace.

Get the Indiana Jones mug.All of the parts of a productive system that contribute to marketable products; the productive elements in a particular economy. This includes the entire network of firms, regulatory bodies (like government), infrastructure (roads, telecommunications), and financial intermediaries (banks, thrifts).
In a global economy, there are many industrial systems. In fact, it's quite possible that a single town could have companies belonging to different industrial systems; e.g., a paper mill near a biotech research facility. Almost none of the productive systems share potential employees or potential markets; a recession for the biotech business could--and probably would--completely spare the paper mill. Moreover, the managers of the two businesses probably want opposite policies: the mill owners want low taxes and small government, while the biotech researchers want big spending on education and infrastructure.
Much confusion is caused by calling the industrial system the "economy." The industrial system is not the economy. The industrial system is an organic entity within a greater economy. Various policies may be beneficial for this or that industrial system, with an ambiguous effect (if any) on the economy.

The family model was incorporated into the industrial system with the agent (who was the chief manager) filling the father's role. The same model was also expressed in the hierarchical management structure... The overseer was the "father" of his workroom and was expected to treat the workers like his children.
