Social diversity A minority group is that whose members go through a sequence of inequality and disadvantages, which generally extend to ownership of property, employment sectors, education, housing, political power and healthcare. The minority group share visible characteristics such as skin colour, body structure, facial features in which they hold with low esteem, for making them look different from the others. A minority group sees the disadvantages and inequalities they go through in society. The members of a minority group attain their status through an involuntary trait, birth. They primarily practise endogamy, for many states previously had laws against interracial marriages. A dominant group is that whose members have great opportunities, social image and a lot of power.

The rush ignorance and self-willing acts of the most delicate people in the government resulted in the high prices and high rent, which produced strikes, trade-union conflicts, and labor riots, which were unprecedented by the people of the united states. Jackson’s reasoning for the “killing of the bank” was not discreet due to the following, Jackson presented a bill of renewal of the second bank charter to reduce banks economic power, which affected cotton farmers hence the low foreign demand of cotton by 17%. He also replaced two resistant secretaries of the treasury and decided that the federal government would not deposit its federal funds and used ‘pet ‘banks instead. These actions had continued worsening of the economy. The New Orleans banks begun to suspend specie payments resulting in paralysis of financial markets. Mexican war President…
Economic Development in Post- Civil War America Determinants of Economic Growth during the Post-Civil War. According to Goldfield and Bromsen, Post-Civil War presented the American population to significant developmental transformation mainly through robust industrial activities. There was also an introduction of large-scale farming activities involving mechanization and infrastructural construction. These operations further helped big businesses to expand their activities in marginalized sections of the country. As A result, Asian and European immigrants left rural agriculture for white-collar employment in towns. This situation led to the availability of cheap labor for industries, which in turn led to rapid economic growth. However, the gains from this growth benefited white business owners as employees formed labor unions to fight against occupational injustices. The presence of robust industrial activities and mass production of goods and increased employee grievances means that the Post-Civil War influenced America’s strong economic base. Economic Development after the Civil War The end of the civil war introduced the American ecosystem to the industrial revolution. In the presence of cheap raw materials like steel, soil, timber, iron ore, many industries emerged…

Analyzing News Reports on the Colorado River Crisis Colorado river is one of the significant streams of North America with its source in the Rocky Mountains. The river drains across two states in Mexico and seven U.S states flowing southwest in Colorado Plateau through the Grand Canyon reaching Lake Mead. The river turns south, entering Mexico towards the Gulf of California. Recently the water level of the Colorado River has significantly dropped due to climate change and human resources usage like irrigation along the river. The study shows that the water shortage from the river would affect Southwest and Arizona (Bergstrom, 2016). More so, the water level of Lake Mead decreases year after year due to less water supply from the Colorado River. The study gets carried out concerning the lake Mead water decrease showing various effects to all beneficiaries of the water supply. This paper analyzes news reports regarding the Colorado river water crisis and anticipated impact due to the water shortage. Tony Davis uses scientific information retrieved from four master’s students who had graduated from the University of…

Question: Economics Question 1: There are three main types of unemployment that are frictional, structural, and cynical unemployment. These types are not explicitly observable and may also overlap, but they offer a valuable way of understanding unemployment. Frictional unemployment happens as workers switch job opportunities on the labor market and as individuals migrate into and out of the labor force. Worker mobility is essential for a competitive labor market which seeks to achieve effective labor distribution throughout the economy. This form of unemployment is generally of shorter. Frictional unemployment is expected to arise at all stages of the economic cycle and as with structural unemployment income and inflation are not impacted. Structural unemployment happens when the available jobs do not match with the people seeking employment. Workers may become unemployed if they work in businesses that decline in size or have skills that could be replaced as a consequence of technical advancements on a wide scale. They may consider it challenging to find jobs in another sector, and will decide to learn new skills or relocate to an area…
Hunger All through the ages, worldwide appetite has been a steady issue. This issue should have the choice of viability. Hunger is realized by various events, including the poverty trap, disastrous occasions, war, poor rustic establishment, and over-abuse of nature. The desperation trap is the example of poverty that can begin from a confined eating routine and progress to birthing a newborn child that is malnourished. Agriculture is the backbone of every country. As my program, I will teach every individual the essence of practicing good agriculture. The best way to dispense with world craving and neediness is to make horticulture all the more earth economical. Protection rehearses, for example, crop broadening, trickle or sprinkler water system, zero-soil culturing, and developing more yields that depend less on nitrogen, are critical to adjusting to environmental change and settling hunger. Proper practice of these agricultural practices ensures there is a continuous flow of food to the hunger strike areas. Crop rotation as one of the farming rehearses helps with battling against the forces of crumbling. Rotating crops helps with improving soil security…
