Figure 3 shows the changes of global economic power over time. There are many reasons for the shifts in economic power such as the Second World War and the collapse of the British Empire. In 1913, Britain had a GDP almost twice the size of The USA's and made up 37% of the world's economy. By 1950, Britain's economic influence had decreased, its GDP now making up only 7% of the global economy. During this period The USA had become the world's largest economic power, making up 27% of the world's economy compared to the 19% in 1913.
The 1920 – WWII The United States has the economic power in the world according to researchers. Japan, Germany, China, ext. all try to catch up to the United States but aren’t able too. They might have slightly higher standards of living but will never compare to the U.S. economically. The U.S. produces almost double than what japan produces.
Counseling Psychology Date: 5/7/2012 Approaches on Counseling Immigrant Population I. Background Immigrant population has become an increasingly significant part of the composition of the United States population. According to the statistics from Department of Homeland Security, 694,193 foreign-born citizens were naturalized in 2011 alone, and let alone the huge number of non-citizen population living in the country. Among the naturalized citizens in 2011, the largest subgroup comes from Asia, which has taken up 36% of the whole immigrant population, and India (6.6%), Philippines (6.1%), and China (4.7%) are the top three Asian countries exporting immigrants. While country-wise speaking, Mexico is the one contributed the largest number of immigrants – 94,783 (13.7%).
I believe that providing high quality education is a must in order for our societies and our economies to flourish. We face the challenge of providing quality education for all of our children. The different countries of the world have become increasingly more important for each other and a great deal of intersocietal cross-penetration has taken place. In particular, the part of the world that I live in, the borderland area between Mexico and the United States, has developed a very close symbiotic relationship. Immigration to the U.S. by Mexican and other Spanish speaking people has increased tremendously and more and more U.S. companies are setting up business in Mexico.
The United States is among the wealthiest and most prosperous nations in the world. It has the largest military, the largest economy, freedom of speech and religion. Yet its government is unable, unwilling, or incapable of providing adequate, basic healthcare to all its citizens. In 2010, the United States spent over $2.6 trillion on health care, representing roughly 18 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) (Hughes & Rao, 2012). On average, the United States spend twice as much on healthcare per capita and out spend 12 other industrial countries including Germany, Japan and New Zealand (Hughes & Rao, 2012).
As of 2010, with the total population of the United States at 310.2 million individuals, White Non-Hispanic Americans are 64.7 percent of the United States population. While the second largest racial group in America is Hispanics with 16 percent of the population. According to the trends, the population is estimated to be at about 439 million in the year 2050. That's quite a rise in the population in the next 40 years (129 million) and who knows the impact it will have on our economy and job availability. It is also estimated that White Non-Hispanic Americans will be less than half the population at this point with 46.3 percent of the population being that race.
47% of the population lives under the poverty line which makes many people try and move to U.S.A to have better prospects. In Mexico there are 1800 people per doctor which demonstrates that Mexico doesn’t have the best health care as the life expectancy is 72 years old as well which is lower than the U.S. The government does not spend much on health care and education in Mexico. The Adult literacy rates is 55% in Mexico showing there prospect for education is not that well. 40% of the population is under the poverty line, this is over 3 times than USA which has 12%.
COMPANIES SAY HAVING A DIVERSE WORK FORCE IS GOOD -- NOT JUST RESPONSIBLE -- BUSINESS DIVERSITY ROCKS; [FOUR STAR Edition] GREG SCHNEIDER AND DINA ELBOGHDADY, THE WASHINGTON POST. Pittsburgh Post - Gazette. Pittsburgh, Pa.: Aug 3, 2003. pg. J.1 Abstract (Summary) "Because our population is diverse, and because of the increasingly global reach of American business, the skills and training needed to succeed in business today demand exposure to widely diverse people, cultures, ideas and viewpoints," the companies -- which included Microsoft, 3M Co., Eastman Kodak Co., Lockheed Martin Corp. and Pfizer Inc. -- wrote in the court brief. "Employees at every level of an organization must be able to work effectively with people who are different
Since 1964, Only fifteen trillion has been spent on poverty; that is only three hundred twelve million per year compared to the military’s $600 billion per year ("The War on Poverty: $15 Trillion and Nothing to Show for It"). In addition, China’s population exceeds the population of the United States by over a billion people; their unemployment and poverty rate are lower than the U.S. (Factbook: China). This shows that it is possible to have a tremendously large population and still have a better functioning system where military spending does not take away from possible solutions to economic stability. Even though China’s military is growing, it is not necessary to continue spending such large amounts of money on the military because the United States already spends six times more than China. The answer is not military spending, rather invest in new companies to employ the unemployed and decrease the amount of poverty in our nation to create a stable economic system in the United
For instance, European economic area society allocated 34% extra taxes than they actually earned, turned them become the most contributed migrants. At the same time, another people only pay 2% higher than they receive (The Guardian, 2013). According
