The idea was to protect the owners of companies from lawsuits. Actually the rich saw it as a way to lower their taxes, fool the uneducated, and to be irresponsible for their cheating and lies. Wal-Mart, which started out selling all American made products, soon started selling products made in sweatshops in foreign counties and we the people did not care and we scooped up the bargains. Now, these Super Corporations, who answer only to the board members and owners, cut the employees pay, use part timers to avoid benefits and count their billions while families are starving. We the people allowed these corporations to get the upper
Explain why the TUC called a general strike in 1926? Between 1918 and 1923 there were many economic problems facing Britain, which led to the miners not being happy with working pay and conditions. The miners formed a triple alliance with the transport workers and railway men. This means if the miners went on strike, the other 2 would also strike, causing a mass disruption to Britain. The first signs of disruption that led to the general strike was the fact that other countries such as Poland were becoming a more predominant exporter of coal, and the only way to stop Britain’s coal industry was to higher the price of coal, extend miners working hours and reduce pay.
These are most important reasons h resulted in the TUC calling a general strike in 1926. An important reasonch year due to the awful and dangerous working conditions.This infuriated the miner unions and as a result a general strike was planned for May which had the TUC's full support Political reasons: Dawes Plan dramatically reduced the amount of money Britain made exporting coal. In 1925 when the plan was put into action Germany were enabled to pay off their outstanding debts from WWI by exporting “free coal” to other EU nations as a way to pay off their debt. As a result the British mining industry was hit heavily financially and wage reductions were reduced which angered the mine
Why did the Labour party gain and lose power in 1924? For the first time in history Labour came in to office in 1924. It was the realization of a dream that had its foundations from as far back as the Chartist movement in 1840’s when political representation for working people was first suggested. For much of the 19th century the working class was represented through the trade union movement. After it’s establishment in 1900, the fledgling party acted as a pressure group on the Liberal government’s 1906 to 1914, and were instrumental in, for example, The Trades Dispute Act of 1906 and for pushing the governments further than they otherwise would have gone in terms of social reform.
The movie premiered between the two World Wars in 1927 and Marx theory was still a part of popular literature at the time. The movie can be interpreted to have various meanings one being the Vamp Machine of Technology and Sexuality as power. At this time in History the factory was a huge part of labor, and the factory worker. According to Marx, with the extensive use of machinery one would become an appendage of the machine and was sold by the product produce by that machine. This also challenges the role of gender in the factory, in other words it does not matter what gender a person is in the factory.
Source A says that it was a “heroic struggle by all the soviet people” and source B says it had “tremendous human cost” which shows both the sources discussing the impact of Industrialistion on the people. However this could also be seen as a difference due to the fact that Source B suggests that it was a "heoroic struggle" and that it "gave focus for the peoples hopes and joy". This is suggesting that even though Industrilaisation was a struggle and was hard to get through the aim of the movement outweighed the negatives that seemed to arise, and it shines a positive light upon Industrialisation. This could be because the Industrial Revolution changed the ways by how the world produced its goods. During this time there were also many new technological advancements and life generally improved.
The 1920s saw a success in progressive movements and labor union efforts, but there was still disputes that occurred. This was mainly caused by the massive rates of unemployment after the war ended. Labor unions, once again, on strike, but Harding stood up to it. In 1922, a coal strike broke out, similar to one that happened during Roosevelt’s presidency. Harding handled similarly to how Roosevelt, and set the strikers back to work.

Business elites exploited their work force and made profits to the maximum degree. Time had changed and no one could make adjustments and adapted as quickly and smoothly as business. The number of immigrants allowed to enter United States was restricted by quotas. Workers became much more united after the publication of the novels and the fire that burned at the Triangle Shirtwaist Company. Theodore Roosevelt stepped up and warned businesses to “act properly.” Those business elites that cooperated with the government elites were considered good trusts.
