... billion dollars in 1023 to 89.00 billion dollars in 1929. Though most Americans are aware of in 1929, few know of the many Americans who lost their homes, life savings and jobs. In the 1920's, after World War 1, danger signals were apparent, that was coming. A major cause of the Depression was that the pay of workers did not increase at all. Because of this they couldn't afford manufactured goods. While the factories were still manufacturing goods, Americans weren't able to afford them and the factories made little to no money. Another major cause was related to farmers. Farmers weren't doing to well because they were producing more crops and farm products th ...
... to the final assembly. Henry Ford was a pioneer in the use of the assembly line in the automobile industry, and the Rouge plant was the ultimate in that use of the assembly line. This photo shows the depth of the plant, being able to manufacture all components of the cars without having to ship parts to or from other locations in the country. The next collection of photographs is of the exterior of the Rouge plant. These photos were obtained from the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. These pictures are of the Rouge during the switch of all production, from the Highland Park plant, to the Rouge. It was also the time that the Model A was beginning p ...
... by pursuing an industrialisation-led development commitment since 1961, which has since produced annual GDP growth of 8.4% per annum, second only to China. The success of South Korea, has been identified by a number of factors including the shift away from import substitution strategies towards export orientated industrialisation, and the effective managing of the economy and authoritarian rule adopted by the government in order to accelerate the pace of capital accumulation, technical progress and structural change to produce economic growth beyond what could possibly occur in a free market economy. NIEs, South Korea, are now recognised as ‘export machines’ ...
... troops to help South Vietnam, as opposed to Soviet Union and China. Some alternative options the president considered before making the decision he did was to simply ignore the issue, keep the present involvement with Vietnam the way it was, or he could decrease involvement with Vietnam. Well, luckily the president did in fact reach the decision of aiding South Vietnam, otherwise Vietnam would most likely become two separate nations. There were many people supporting the presidents decision, as well as opposing people. There were American citizens who supported his decision and American citizens opposing his decision. After the president made his final decision t ...
... Cambridge. Francis Marbury spoke out earnestly about his convictions that many of the ordained ministers in the Church of England were unfit to guide people's souls. For this act of defiance, he was put in jail for one year. Undaunted, Francis Marbury continued to voice his radical opinions, including that many ministers were appointed haphazardly by high church officials to preach in any manner they wanted. Eventually, Anne's father did restrain his verbal attacks on the Church of England, choosing conformity with an imperfect church over constant arrests and inquisitions. (D. Crawford, Four Women in a Violent Time, pps. 11-15.) Being educated at home, Anne re ...
... unity, the latter in turn being due mainly to the general acceptance of a common, although difficult, written language and a common set of ethical and social values, known as Confucianism. Traditional china had neither the knowledge nor the power that would have been necessary to cope with the superior science, technology, economic organization, and military force that expanding West brought to bear on it. The general sense of national weakness and humiliation was rendered still keener by a unique phenomenon, the modernization of Japan and its rise to great power status. Japan's success threw China's failure into sharp remission. The Japanese perform ...
... into flames, and it's falling on the mooring mast and all the folks. This is one of the worst catastrophes in the world. . . . Oh, the humanity and all the passengers!(Marben 58)" When this floating cathedral, called , burst into a geyser of flaming hydrogen there was a tremendous impact on the public, although two thirds of the people on board survived. Two theories about why it happened surfaced and this tragedy put an end to the short age of these massive airships. The demise of had a searing impact on public consciousness that far surpassed the bare statistics of the calamity. Men and women escaped, even from this inferno. One elderly lady walked out by ...
... start a new life (they would start their own plantation). The death rate was declining, causing more plantations to be settled. African slaves emerged as the dominant agricultural labor force in the southern colonies. Slaves were also used in the northern colonies, but in far fewer numbers. The survival rates as well as birthrates tended to be high for slaves brought to the North American colonies. Also, the British colonies grew rapidly in population and wealth. Trade and cities flourished. Building on English foundations of political liberty, the colonists extended the concepts of liberty and self-government far beyond those envisioned in the mother country. ...
... In addition, other societies such as Ancient Rome and Greece, Germany, China, Nigeria, and East Africa lynched their own. It is for this reason that Mr. Schwarz believes lynchings cannot be explained only in terms of racism and paranoid "white psyche". To find the true reason, we must consider a different point of view. According to Mr. Schwarz, in the late 19th century, there arose in the South a large proportion of transient black men who, as their labor became expendable in an increasingly industrial and commercial economy, adopted a life of crime. In the article, Mr. Schwarz writes, "There, loosened from the traditional controls of the black family and commu ...
... resulted in actual power. Aswell as a consideration of how the characteristics of the Kings and their most notable justiciars effected monarchical power, specific areas to be looked at will be legal affairs including the dispensation of justice and jurisdiction; the Exchequer and the systems of collecting revenue and taxes; feudal lords and their reaction to increased Kingly power; and also the clergy whose capabilities were restricted. This new era of officialdom whereby 'a regular staff was appointed to execute specific administrative tasks and thus to carry out the rulers political intentions in the daily running of public affairs' (3) must also be compared ...
