Governments institute monetary policies and other laws to ensure a favorable environment for economic growth. Minimum wage is a common economic practice in many nations and is a price control that sets a floor on employee wages. Companies must abide by minimum wage laws when compensating employees for their services. As with many government policies, minimum wage has several negative economic effects.

Task 3 Case Study – “I am Sam” In everyone’s lives Advocacy is important, but it is even more important should you have a disability. In this case study I will be expressing my opinion on where an advocate would of helped Sam and his daughter (Lucy) from the movie “I am Sam”. It is quiet chilling that Sam and Lucy did not get help in so many parts of this movie. It really shows you how people can slip through the system when professionals do not recognise intervention from the beginning could actually prevent so much hard ache for many families. Sam had a few people in his life during his journey of parenthood on his own.
After the rule of the Mongol over Russia, many of the free peasants had fallen into debt and were forced to work as laborers on the large estates owned by nobles. The Russian serfdom system expanded as more land was added to the empire. This similarity exists between these two systems of forced labors because as both the Spanish and Russian empire expanded, forced labor became necessary to maintain the empires’ economic status. The best social classes to demand labor from are the poorer social classes, in this case, the Russian peasants and Native Americans of the new world. Another similarity between Russian serfdom and the Spanish encomienda system is that both the serfs and the natives were born into their social class, thus born into the system of forced labor, although

When examining differences between any two groups of people, it is important to compare each party’s social structure. Social distinctions boil down to the very character and culture of a society (Pessen 1127). The historian, Edward Pessen, is in this assertion, but his argument that the actual social structures of the North and South should be seen as more similar than different, he is wrong. The Market Revolution brought about social changes in the North that further differed Northern culture from Southern. In the South, the majority of families lived the traditional southern lifestyle of subsistence farming and providing for themselves, giving them a weak link to the market (Holmes, Lecture 9)*.
Whitfield does have her family nearby but their communication is in constantly strained with period of not talking to each other. Mrs. Whitfield has asked her family for help with paying some of the bills, but they will not offer any assistance in helping pay her bills as they believe she needs to care for herself and her children.

In conclusion, using the IDDT model allows the worker to cover every basis needed in helping a dually diagnosed client.
With the 19th century depression, sharecroppers and farmers were greatly affected however the “golden age” of America agriculture arrived by the twentieth century. According to Royce, “Prior to emancipation, sharecropping was limited to poor landless whites, usually working marginal lands for absentee landlords. Following emancipation, sharecropping came to be an economic arrangement that largely maintained the status quo between black and white through legal means.” Landowners advanced sharecroppers seed, fertilizer, and provisions in exchange for labor. Sharecroppers planted and tended the crops and cared for livestock. The proceeds were divided after the harvest in the fall.” “Sharecroppers, black or white, were also often uneducated and could not read or write, thus landowners could easily take advantage of the situation.
