Industrialization had a major impact on American society. It was a time of growth and expansion for the nation as a whole as it brought about new ideas and resistance to reformation. In many ways industry was helpful to America’s economy, but it was also a hindrance for the vast majority of the population. People like Sam Patch, otherwise known as the working poor, did not have much opportunity to advance in society, so as time passes there’s more resistance and protest to letting the rich get richer. The messages sent from the famous jumps of Sam Patch were the beginning of a new of democracy, and a fulfillment to the true meaning of the word equality.
DBQ Japan and India In the period from the 1800s to the 1930s, Japan and India both saw a great increase in the use of machines in the textile industry. Both countries had similar recruitment techniques but differed greatly in who the workers were, and their working conditions. Documents 1, 2, and 6 all show the increased use of machines and declined use of handmade items in India and Japan.

The chart shows that machine-spun yarn became of greater quantities as opposed to hand-spun yarn due to the increase in machines.
The use of machinery and mass production provided people with better clothing, cheaper housing and living necessity. The invention of rail road and steam engine made it easier to travel and trade. Document 5 and 6 also show the positive effect by mentioning the benefits of being employed. Women and children under certain employer are well feel and have decent clothing and housing. These to document however do not represent the majority of the working class since they only include a little town and a village with small population.
The government's provision of incentives motivates the private sector's expansion in a relatively new market setting. This government intervention helps latecomers to the market have ample opportunities to succeed in the face of high entry costs and existing competition. Through this role, the government ensures that the market risks are low enough to the point where the private sector will invest. These accommodations at the beginning of each industry's life cycle were meant to give industries across the board a solid foundation. Essentially, the nurturing of these so-called infant industries prepares them for entering into a self-sustaining market.
Mia Capper Mr Ying “Australia in the 1900’s was a ‘working man’s paradise’.” In the 1900’s, the working conditions in Australia were very good, because of these good conditions Australia was labelled a ‘working man’s paradise’ by its citizens and people from other countries. So was Australia really a working man’s paradise or was this just a myth. There are at least four factors to consider before a judgement can be formed: pay, working conditions, working hours and living conditions. The pay in Australia was quite good compared to England and America. The pay for the working class was being improved by introducing new laws to improve the equality of their pay.
Eventually Western styles spread to Japan, but they did not adapt fully or completely change their culture. New western ideas fused with ancient Japanese traditions. The Meiji Restoration was a system of reforms that dramatically changed Japanese political and social makeup. The various features of the reforms simulated western style politics and innovations.

(Imperatone, W. 1992) American companies would negotiate with these countries because of cheap labor, which would allow American products to be made at a decreased cost. Another reason was that foreign land had an abundant of raw materials that could easily be used in the American Industries. American Imperialism gave a purpose to the US, versus what other countries were doing at the time. Countries like Germany, Great Britain, Belgium, Spain, Panama and Japan were expanding their borders, negotiating new trade markets demonstrating their strength and power. As the Unites States was growing, they also sought to protect its overseas territories like the Midway Islands, Hawaii, Guam, and Samoa.
The Division managed the quickly growing foreign business. Demand grew and local tariffs went away, as well as increases in shipping costs and more "flows" between countries, P&G built plants in other countries to provide from nearby sources. P&G established a presence in the foreign countries while maintaining operations in the US. There was a transition from the traditional line staff organization when the first product category division was established in 1943. In 1954, with growing lines of products, P&G created individual operating divisions in order to manage adequately.
International Trade ECO 372 University of Phoenix There are many contributing factors to the stabilization and prosperity of our global market. We, the United States, are living in a time of severe trade deficit, meaning that we are importing many more goods than we are exporting. While it is nice to be able to buy foreign products at a lower price, there is risk in doing so. When we purchase foreign goods over domestic at lower prices it forces our domestic companies to sell their goods at lower prices to remain competitive. These lower prices may lend to making enough profit to sustain the current workforce.
However harsh the working conditions may be, there are still people who believe that the fast fashion industry is beneficial. They view the situation as providing jobs which otherwise would not exist, and in doing so promotes economic growth and hope for better jobs to arrive alongside the growing economy. Benjamin Powell, the director of the Free Market Institute, states, “So, this low-wage manufacturing, or so called ‘sweatshops,’ they’re not just the least-bad option workers have today, they’re part of the very process that raises living standards and leads to higher wages and better working conditions overtime. Your proximate causes of development are physical capital, technology, and human capital, or skills of the workers. When sweatshops
