The first five year plan was inducted between October 1928 and December 1932 and the emphasis was on heavy industries such as coal, oil, iron and steel. The successes included electricity production being trebled, resource output was doubled, the engineering industry was developed with increased overall output of machinery, tools etc and huge new industrial complexes were built that harboured the ground for these ideas and innovations to become a reality. Weaknesses were apparent such as limited growth and even a decline in consumer industries such as house building and food processing. Small workshops were squeezed out partly because of the drive against Nepmen and the shortages of materials and fuel. The collectivisation of agriculture provided Stalin with the idea that further industrial growth was necessary in order to fuel the country’s economy and diminish the burden of Russia’s backwards nature.
I have leaned that if your population is to high your people will feel crowded and there will be a food shortage but more people equals more taxes. So I had to figure out a way to balance the rising population but also Battle over population. The answer was (this is the shocker…) industrialization of farmlands. ( Again does this sound familiar?). Its no surprise that China is one of the most Industrialistic country with over 1, 330, 044, 544 people ( as of July 2008 Source: www.google.com ) which in my scientific analysis says nearly 700, 000, 000 are in the work force and within nearly 100, 000, 000 or less (much, much less) are in agriculture or livestock.
In recent years, Melbourne’s population size expanded rapidly, it has re-ignited a long-term argument between urban consolidation and urban sprawl. Melbourne’s development has been dominated by expanding low-density suburbs in the previous years,and only a few degree of development of consolidation has proceeded. However Melbourne envisages just over half of all new dwellings constructed between 2001 and 2030,about 16,000 per year,will be located within the built-up area. The rest will be built in the fringe Growth Areas in the thirty years, which means for Melbourne, the future is planned to be consolidated. (The Age, 2008) The essay will clear up some conceptions of sprawl and consolidation, clarifying why that urban consolidation may actually
“By January 1892, the Borgenichts had twenty people working for them…” (146). By conventional standards, one can argue the Borgenichts were not overtly successful. However, one must take into account the idea of relative success. Compared to the lives the Borgenichts lived in their respective home countries, live in the United States was prosperous and successful. Gladwell states, “the longer he [Louis] and Regina stayed up at night sewing aprons, the more money they made the next day on the streets” (149) .
America’s unemployment is around 7.5% with about twice as many people either giving up the search for employment or the unemployment benefits running out. So to say that the unemployment is closer to 15% is not that far out of bounds. The American blue collar worker is disappearing very rapidly. In recent months the President of the United States Barrack Obama has made his case for reviving the manufacturing base. “We want to create and sell products all over the world that are stamped with three simple words: ‘Made in America.’ That’s our goal,” the president said last
The book states that between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that the population of Europe went from one hundred and five million people to one hundred and eighty million people. That is a huge population change. People were living longer and babies were surviving birth. Medical breakouts were also a reason for the mortality rate to stay lower. The industrial also encouraged a huge migration within countries.
EFFECTS OF THE RAILROAD The railroads were not established, but St. Louis, Missouri grew a lot after the railroads had came to the west, and also after building of the Eads Bridge over Mississippi in 1837’. Chicago had also grown from a small town to a big metropolis in such a short time period which was due to the railroads. Nearly all cities in the west of Mississippi, such as Kansas City, Dallas, and many others were the result of at least partially the growth of the railroads. In such a short time the railroads establishment and also new cites lowered the transportation costs of goods and also provided a catalyst for the movement away from jack of all trade small business which was towards specialized industries and also large businesses.
Civil rights and equality between blacks and whites was being fought for since the early 1900’s, but they achieved very little until the 1950’s. This includes the courageous help of Ida Wells, Martin Luther King Jr., and Rosa Parks. “As late as the 1990’s, Nearly 90 percent of suburban white lived in communities with non-white populations less that 1 percent” (Eric Foner). The 1950’s was the era of suburbanization and the number of homes in The United States doubled, this created an economic
Sarah David Period 5 U.S. History October 15, 2012 Industrialization Essay In 1860 to 1915, industrialization had a great impact on American society. Natural Resources helped the growth, thick forests were cut down for lumber, and they also drilled the first oil well in 1859. There were coal mines along the east coast. During 1881 750,000 immigrants came to America year, and by the 1900s over a million were coming a year. According to document 8, living conditions for immigrant workers in the United States was poor; they stayed in small rooms, with little resources.
Some things that may be placed into this category are speaking to someone about housing conditions, speaking to some type of authority to help protect, and general safety procedures about basic living. Some steps we may take is to go online to do research about symptoms we may have, home remedies, how we can contact property managers, and to obtain ways to speak to the authorities if we feel our lives are in danger. We may ask ourselves, “is that food safe to eat, is my work area unsafe, how I can do my job better, is that sanitary enough for our children?” 3. Belonging needs This level is Social Needs. We all need each other to survive.
