KENNETH DAVIS CJAD 320 JULY 6, 2009 PAPER 1 TOPIC: LATINO AND HISPANIC AMERICAN CULTURAL GROUP The Latino and Hispanic American Community reflects the full range of economic, educational, and cultural diversity that we see in America today. Latino and Hispanic Americans are the fastest growing cultural group in the Unites States today. The population growth can be attributed primarily to higher birthrates, higher immigration from Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean and greater longevity which is the culmination of being a relatively young population. Immigration has been good for America. Immigrants throughout our history have embraced the freedoms and opportunities we enjoy in the United States and produced untold economic, scientific and artistic contributions.
This increase was partly due to an influx of immigrants. 2 Immigration increased the U.S. population and it also created a new source of laborers. In addition to social changes, there were dramatic changes in the labor movement which happened between the years 1877 and the 1920s. With the end of the Civil War, industries began booming and the railroad industry especially increased: in fact, the railroad industry was the second largest industry in the United States and agriculture was the first largest. The year 1877 is famous for the Great Upheaval which is also known as the Great Railroad Strike of 1877.
The U.S. had the states of California, Nevada, and Oregon on the west coast. Territories were between the west coast states and the states beyond the Mississippi River. The population increased dramatically, from 2,148,100 in 1770 to 38,558,371 in 1870. The increase in population is caused by immigration of people to the US and slavery was another cause. Slavery and population had a big affect on the next 100 years of the United States history.
Explain why recently the UK is a destination of economic migrants One of the most high-profile trends of recent economic migration is the higher numbers of migrant workers from the EU joining states Immigration levels in the UK have risen significantly over the past 10 years, driven by sustained economic growth in the UK and the opening up of the labour market to the new EU addition states since 2004. Economic migrant means a person who has left his own country and seeks by lawful or unlawful means to find employment in another country. When Poland and seven other Eastern European countries joined the EU in 2004, the UK received many economic migrants. There were 500,000 workers from Eastern Europe in 2009. The pull factors included wages five times greater than they could get at home.
Farmers today have spent thousands of dollars to update their irrigation practices. They also know that if they don’t get the water they need, everyone will suffer. The population of Texas is increasing daily, and is expected to double by 2060. With the increasing population, the demand for food is obviously going to increase. Therefore, we will have to raise more livestock and produce more crops.
There were many aspects that lead to the economic success that America experienced in the period after 1890, all them then becoming factors in America becoming the economic powerhouse it has. America possessed an abundant supply of land, raw materials and natural resources; coal oil and timber and with the expansion onto the newly settled Great Plains, America had the ability to develop in a variety of ways. With the newly acquired land from the Native Americans, agriculture grew and thus followed profit increase in the area. New technologies such as the invention of refrigeration on the move and communication technologies like the telegraph allowed business to grow much further afield, and not just with in the United states, along with the agricultural growth came the expansion of the railways in the west both making money from the resources readily available creating a growing cycle of supply and increasing demand in areas previously untouched furthering the economy. Mass immigration into the USA stretching from the end of the 19th century and well in to the 20th supplied an affordable and readily available source of labour willing to work cheaply in the growing industries, the new immigrants boosted the American economy in two ways; an increased demand in housing and food as well as other day to day commodities profited the economy, but also the cheap labour they provided allowed big businesses to grow.
Willis U.S.History since 1865 Technology during the Industrial Revolution Around 1850s, America was on the move towards a new living and the large migration to the west allowed an abundance of foreigners to immigrate into America. With such a large population, people needed to work and mouths needed to be fed. As industrializing began, technological advancement helped transform the quality of life for the American during the late 1800s and early 1900s known as the gilded age. Railroads and other vast resources linked America’s society together. The development of an industrial society began with the vast amounts of natural resources that were discovered across America.
The planning and work required to host the event takes significant time and effort. Typically, major sporting events require investment in building the stadium and hotels. This creates jobs for the local economy years before the event. These extra jobs help create a positive multiplier effect amongst the local economy. Once the games have begun, there is room to hire thousands more individuals for various kinds of work that needs to be done to keep the events running as smoothly as possible.
The main features of the industrial revolution was the massive economic boom. Britain began to produce more cotton and other materials than ever before. Towns grew rapidly because of new jobs on offer and wealth of the country rapidly grew. Charles dickens shows us in hard times you were either with lots of possessions or without any. He shows that the difference between rich and poor grew dramatically.
Recent years have seen booming worldwide economies ensure high occupancy levels and increasing profitability. As a result, many have expanded, both the number of hotels, the quality and availability of facilities offered. But the industry is now entering another downturn (The broad industry environment is summarized in a PEST analysis in Appendix 1). This leaves Solberri in a vulnerable position. This downturn is also reflected in stock market valuations of hotel groups.
