Although the making of new transportation was dangerous and killed many workers, the ways the developments in transportation brought economic and social changes in the United States in the period 1820 to 1860 was because of the new railroads, the new types of transportation, and the way it helped make more income. The first reason why the developments in transportation brought social changes was because of the railroads. With new railroads people were now able to move all around the United States. Now that people were settling in new places it allowed the growth of cities. With all these growing cites, it really changed the way people lived.
For example, there were no longer any engineers left who knew how to build or maintain aqueducts. This meant that when these structures broke they couldn’t be fixed, and so over time there was less provision for clean water. The local population used the stone from the bath houses and other structures to build their own homes as there was less emphasis on public health. The new rulers of Britain did not think it was as important as the Romans had. By 1350 there were some quite serious public health problems in towns, where the lack of fresh water and drainage was a problem which caused the water to be contaminated by other sources and was not healthy to drink.
The TTC provides millions of people each day with transportation to jobs, which generate income for not only themselves but also the government. By doing this it also eliminates the amount of drivers that are on the road, which significantly reduces the amount of pollution we emit. It also provides a cost effective way of transporting the elderly and disabled, students and people from low-income jobs. The TTC is a vital service to Toronto. A lack of TTC would cause businesses and the government millions of dollars in lost revenue[1].
This means the government does not see the need to have as many fire men/women and therefore made many redundant and closed down fire stations in order to save money. This has caused an upset, both with fire men and women local residents as they believe the service times may increase as there is not as many available in comparison to before the redundancies. The same can be said about the police force, there has been a vast decrease between the amount of people the police force take on and train and allow to become a member of the police force as they simply cannot take on the amount that may be needed due to government cutbacks and financial policies. However, a positive affect that can be said about financial policies that result on cutbacks for public services could be that as money is saved for example in reducing the amount of fire stations and fire men/women, the money could be invested in an alternative public service such as the paramedic service or the NHS in order to
The workers were not visiting the clients on a weekly basis as mandated by DCFS and paperwork was consistently late. There was chronic absenteeism, a high level of turnover, low morale, and low job satisfaction among the employees. All of the above issues adversely affect the level of care and services being provided to the client. How can Hull House Association communicate change in an effort to increase employee satisfaction and organizational productivity? Hull House’s leadership was not supportive of staff at that time.
From the railroads in the past, we have learned that faster transportation is better. Everything we need travels by boat or train or plane because we understand that is one of the most successful forms of transportation. Bye replacing home-based workshops with factories we have been able to grow our production rates which in the long run put our selling rates high. By switching from hand tools to large machines we have also been able to cut our jobs down, which allows for more money in the pockets of the business men. The industrial revolution has helped the nation and economy grown so much over the time but we know, nothing is perfect.
From the 20th century to the present, this gap has substantially widened. Due to this increase, suburb areas and large cities like the city of Houston have had budget cuts occur in their school systems as the economy has worsened. Of course, the budget cuts have affected the poor areas more because of the simple yet saddening fact that the poor had no money to begin with. The Chicago Tribune News Paper went on to observe this trend by having Greg J. Duncan and Richard J. Murnane conduct a study to see the difference between parents in rich and poor areas who place their children in enrichment programs like music or tutoring. Enrichment programs have been proven to improve the quality of the education a child a receiving.
This however, does not sit well with people who are becoming unemployed or who have seniority at their current jobs. Attending college is neither cheap nor convenient when you take into consideration that a lot of the employees who have been working for so long. In their brains they just are given a task and do it. They do not have the drive or means to set time aside to go take day/night classes, to keep up with and adapt to the social and economic changes. Plus, you have to take into consideration that a lot of these people have a full table to support at home.
Previously it was a by –product of the over population. Like any other sector there are challenges and opportunities that arise. Some of the challenges are that people operating in the informal economy are exposed to poor infrastructure such as transport, thee is a lack of proper working premises and poorly developed markets. Resources such as the latest technology are usually limited because of capital and insufficient funds don’t allow for further investment in the informal economy. As a result of this there is hindrance to the growth of the economy as a whole.
Thus, the car made man life more comfortable. However, with population growth and human well-being it began of new problems. The number of automobile grew rapidly and as a result we have traffic jams. Besides, the growth of number of automobiles made environment become more and more polluted. Therefore humanity is not standing still and looking for ways to solve this problem, as to refuse of the automobile completely would not be quite prudent in view of the above advantages.
