A strength of questionnaires for studying parental attitudes is that they don’t have many ethical issues. This is because if the parent doesn’t want to fill out the questionnaire they don’t have to so informed consent would not be a problem. Also, even though the researcher could ask sensitive questions like the respondents own experiences of school, they do not have to answer. Yet, because questionnaires can be confidential and anonymous, parents may be more inclined to answer questions as it would not belittle them in any way or create judgement as the researcher is completely detached from the parent. However, the researcher would need to make it very clear to the parents that they do not have to answer questions and guarantee their anonymity.
The fact that people would travel West and have a new way of life using the new technology and at the same time being able to have land that was all their own. The national economy grew because more people were making money since they had very nice industry jobs. People could afford more things in life that were not considered a necessity. One of the major inventions during the Industrial Revolution was the railroad. It played a major role in the westward expansion during the Industrial Revolution.
Up until 1900 the source shows that Britain was in a very good position when it came to trade as their exports greatly outweighed their imports which in turn would make a steady profit for Britain. Britain were able to make a profit on their exported goods as they had the ability to obtain cheap natural resources from the colonies such as sugar from the West Indies and cotton from parts of Africa, these raw materials could then be turned into goods and sold to other colonies for a much higher price. The statistics used in the source show the growth of imports from 4.8 million to 570.4 million this is useful as it shows the progress that Britain had made throughout the years, it supports the view that the British
61) Their main line of criticism of standard theory is that it doesn't explain the processes of what happens in market economies. Austrian School criticises the neoclassical assumption the the market reaches an equilibrium by firstly recognising that it isn't true that market conditions are at all times in equilibrium and that they fail to explain the process by which the equilibrium is reached. They aim to demote perfect competition as a dominant assumption of modern Neoclassical theory. (Kirzner 1997, pg. 64) Mises and Hayek, Austrian School theorists, argue that it is entrepreneurial discovery
This is due to the huge impact of mass media on enculturation. The Random House Unabridged Dictionary (1997) defines enculturation as a process whereby persons learn group culture by experience, observation, and instruction. The society is accessing technology more easily with time. The mass media communication devices are quickly flooding every corner of the society making dissemination of information quite easily to all the ages of people. Media has been able to make some of the topics which were never discussed freely to be so discussed.
Hitler would tell the country what they wanted to hear, one example was providing jobs as unemployment increased massively. He also became more popular after he led the campaign against the Young Plan; this reduced the reparations that they had to pay in 1929. All the actions that Hitler made boosted the electoral support for the Nazi party. To an even larger extent than the popularity of Hitler himself came the great depression in 1929 as a result of the Wall Street crash in the USA. The Nazi party took advantage of this in Germany, as the Weimar government weakened the Nazi party rose.
Although few industries met the ambitious targets of the FYP there was an enormous growth in industrial production. The historian Nove has drawn the attention to some of the issues concerning official production figures, which indicate that production of machinery greatly over-fulfilled the plan despite less success in the production of metal. This appear odd given the obvious connections between the 2 industries. Nonetheless, there seems to have been rapid growth in the engineering industry and fuel production. Heavy industry in general saw substantial growth.
The printing press was a corporation of machine duplication, rapid duplication, and faster production. These three components were necessary for mass-market improvement. Material and suggestions could now be spread faster and further than ever before. With the progress of the printing press, fabrication of mass amounts at lower costs per unit became necessary in mass production of additional goods. The Industrial Revolution, modern capitalism, and the consumer culture of the twentieth century were results of this.
As mentioned previously, Adam Smith, a highly regarded economist, demanded that in order for economic success, the”invisible hand of the market” must be in control, rather than the government. This notion involves the establishment of free enterprise and greater openness to international trade and investment (e.g the abolition of tariffs). Free enterprise results in the value of various goods and services being determined by supply and demand meaning that suppliers are unable to manipulate prices. It also encourages investment as people can see the potential to make a return – without the government capping prices. On the other hand, this idea of free trade is highly disadvantageous, and even harmful, to the Global South with the Global North dictating prices.
At the same time, industry also had the advantage of lower costs due to the ever increasing number of cartels allowing for greater purchasing power than that of smaller businesses. Between 1925-1929 German exports also rose by 40% further increasing Germanys income. However, even with these new advantages
