WESTWARD EXPANSION The United States has extensive history emanating from 1865 to 2000 that led its establishment to become the most powerful states in today’s world. Westward expansion period four is one of the past events attributed to extensive development of US history more so its great power, and it covered from 1800 to 1844.[1] During this period, America grew and diversified its operation, therefore, finding it necessary to expand its territories. In this regard, the US utilized philosophical approaches such as Manifest Destiny, which had a significant impact on achieving its goals. Besides, the US adopted diversified means such as war and making purchases to achieve its objectives. The US also dealt with the Native Americans and further encroached them into their vast lands. In the process, the westward movement was affected by several human factors. These include transportation problems since railways were extensively used, and also industries had adverse effects on westward expansion. The paper extensively analyses the westward expansion scenarios addressing how they were executed, challenges facing it, and its impact on US history. President Thomas Jefferson…
What were the keys to success for non-European societies between 1400 and 1800?” Introduction In this era, the most critical aspect of majorly was the great extension, network connection, and communication that linked societies and individuals tightly between 1400 and 1800. A development is known as “the great global convergence” happened in which every part of the world became intricately connected. Additionally, the world’s population began to increase dramatically, breaking the growth ceilings that had previously governed human affairs. The purpose of this paper is to describe and compare the keys success for Africa and Asia during the four centuries between 1400 and 1800. For African societies, especially people in West Africa, wives and children were a significant resource in the community. Women were the sources of labor since they could cultivate the land, offer social support, prestige, and give security in old age (McKay et al. 2014, p. 570). This resulted in intense competition for women as well as inequality in gaining them. Either, polygamy was a universal practice. Women were supposed to give birth to many children, and…
Business-Word Economy VERTICAL DISINTEGRATION Vertical disintegration is to a particular organizational form of industrial production. Unlike vertical integration, in which production occurs with a singular organization, vertical disintegration means that different or several diseconomies of scale or scope have been broken down a production process into separate companies where each will be performing a limited set of activities for a finished product, (Chen and Yongmin 2005). Filmed entertainment was once highly vertical integrated into a studio system only a few large studios handled everything in production to a theatrical presentation. When the second world war ended, the industry was broken into small fragments, each specializing in a particular task within the division of labour required to produce and show a finished piece of filmed entertainment. Hollywood became highly vertically integrated, with specialized firms who only performed specific tasks such as editing, special effects, trailers etc. Bell system divestiture had a similar impact on a more massive industry later in the 20th century, (Doellgast, Virginia, and Greer 2007). One of the main reason for vertical disintegration is risk-sharing (Holmes and Thomas,…
BUSINESS-WORLD ECONOMY VERTICAL DISINTEGRATION Vertical disintegration is a situation where various diseconomies of scale or scope have broken the production process into different separate companies, each performing a limited subset of activities required to create a finished product, (Chen andYongmin2005). One of the mainreasons for vertical disintegration is to share risk where, in some cases, small firms may be responsive to changes in market conditions. Vertical disintegration is most likely to operate in volatile markets. Business is always looking for new methods to reduce cost and to control the quality of the products and the services the industry provide(Doellgast, Virginia, and Greer 2007).A company can have the ability to create a competitive advantage by integrating different stages of its supply chain and production process into their business.. A firm can be currently vertically integrated into several stages may decide to exit from a specific or particular stage for strategic or cost reasons. In case of technical advances or change in competitive conditions, this may be cheaper for a firm to buy materials from outside suppliers than continuing to self-supply. The…
A Case study for employment and labor law Introduction It is before the United States District court, S. D. Illinois. There are two motions that are briefed fully and ready for the ruling. The plaintiff, Ryan Crews is denied the motion for summary judgement while the defendants, City of Mt. Vernon, Chris Diechman and Chris Mendenall is granted the motion for summary judgement by the court. This is done according to the Uniformed Service Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). Complaint is launched by Crews claiming that his employers had allegedly violated the “USERRA”. In this study we shall see the employments acts that Crews had been denied by his employers and also what made him loose the motion as well as the reasons to that. Overview Crews is not only a member of the Illinois Army National Guard but also a police officer of the city of mt Vernon.Due to this he is required to attend drills or the periodic training exercises for one weekend per month and these drills happen to occur when the guard is on scheduled…
CAPITALISM IN FUTURE Capitalism is defined as an economic system in which private individuals or corporates own means of production and distribution. In a capitalistic economy, a country’s trade is controlled by those who own profits, other than the state. Capitalism has been a tool for generating wealth for some individuals. However, capitalism has devastated the planet. It does not improve humanity in any way, but rather, take part in tearing the globe down. Due to the nature of a capitalistic economy, individuals strive to make on their own and safeguard what they have. This has led to the emergence of selfish human activities, as everyone strives to survive. These human activities are contributing to the extinction of natural resources and climatic changes that are adverse to humanity. Unless capitalism is changed, it is going to tear down humanity completely. This paper focuses on the future of capitalism and its impacts on humanity. According to the projections by the United Nations, the world population is set to reach 10 billion in the next fifty years. The increase in population does…
Climate Change and Possible Solutions to Climate Change Climate Change Background information Climate change is turning out to be a hot subject of discussion as it influences the world balance. For instance, around 10-15 years ago, China experienced the greatest automobile boom; they sold millions of SUVs and cars without recognizing the amount of carbon emission it will release to the environment. These actions lead to the release of gases to the ozone layer resulting in global temperature change; when the earth’s temperature rises, it becomes warmer and causes a chain of reactions to different parts of the world, notably Antarctica and Arctic. The warmer temperatures later shatter, and glaciers are melts, thus causing the sea level to rise; this, after that, results in the sinking of islands that are below the sea level to disappear. Wilson, the Maldives, a famous tourist destination, is the victim of climate change. “There used to exist an island known as Hulhumale. Currently, it is nothing but sandy reefs due to the rise of the water level hence sinking the island” (Wilson 2017). This…
The Blue and Green Seminar The Blue and Green seminar is a presentation on models for rainfed and irrigated agriculture on the landscape. The facilitator, Sarah Goslee, is a researcher for the USDA Agricultural Research Service. Exploring different models developed using the data at her disposal, the researcher looked into various aspects of farming in the country. Factors such as climatic conditions and soil characteristics are some of the primary considerations of the models developed. Picturing the United States as a landscape for agriculture, the facilitator explores the various models investigating the changes that have occurred in rainfed and irrigated farming of selected crops as well as the changes that might happen shortly. The models are based on the areas where these crops, for instance, corn, are currently grown. By large, the arguments and facts presented by the facilitator are aimed at an academic audience. Mainly, the use of statistics, in-depth research, and prediction models are widely believed to belong to academic circles. However, as the author notes, some of the data in the presentation may not be broadly accepted…
How the government can Influence Positive and Negative Externalities. Externalities arise in an economy once the consumption or production of a particular service or goods influences a third party who is not linked directly to the consumption or production of that product or service (Cornes, 1986). Externalities are overspill benefits and costs. When an expense spills over, a negative externality arises. If a profit spills over, a beneficial externality arises. Thus, externalities occur when the transaction’s costs or benefits fall on someone who is not the manufacturer or the buyer. Negative Externalities Over the past several weeks, a town with one of Parkruns ‘largest populations, Canberra, has gone without people. So dense and unhealthy was the pollution coming in from bush fires nationally that two of the eight Parkruns in Canberra and neighboring Queanbeyan were deserted for some time. There existed an impact on the economy as well. Individuals were expected to go to a coffee shop after each Parkrun to have a coffee or a slice of banana pie. The smoke resulted in several small enterprises going out for four…
Factors affecting the community’s shape, layout, and density The configuration of a community is the result of many interacting factors, both living and non-living factors, culture, and by events that happened during its history. For instance, the climate patterns of where people live, the geography of the location of a community’s residence affect the layout and density of a population. Besides geographical factors, social, political, demographic, and historical factors play a significant role in shaping a community. While some researchers attach more significance to natural factors, (Garcia, 2016), argue that cultural factors play a vital role in determining the shape and structure of a community. Culture is defined as the sum total of all-learned knowledge and behavior passed from one generation to the next in a particular society. Culture affects the kinship system, architectural styles, literature, customs, rituals and beliefs, culinary styles, clothing styles, art, music, and political structure. For instance, beliefs that men should be strong and not show weakness by accessing medical care will affect the shape and layout of a community by the number of women…
