The Tariff placed high taxes on imports leading to a decline in international trade. The United States held many loans with European countries that began to default. Reduction in international market spending in the US, coupled with the high tariffs placed on foreign countries led to unemployment abroad and foreign countries were forced to impose their own tariffs on other countries (Kelly, n.d.). The Great Depression was perhaps most devastating to the individual and family. The Depression was recorded to have decreased the marriage rate which helped lead to a decline in the birth rate.

Political – Legislation changes can effect a business and the way it works, as can international policy for example you could no longer send arms to Syria so therefore you change your company policy to send them to France. Economic – Your product no longer sells, your competitors are pushing you out of the market. Social – Advertising no longer works, people think your product is not environmentally friendly, your company is no longer ‘trendy’. Technological – Your machinery or equipment is out of date, you need to update it to be able to stay

According to Lincare’s annual report, the significant decline is due to the decrease in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement. They delayed the implementation of the Medicare competitive bidding program for oxygen equipment and certain other DME items that was scheduled to begin on July 2008 to January 2011 and instead instituted a 9.5% price reduction nationwide for these items as of January 1, 2009. The SCHIP Extension Act reduced Medicare reimbursement amounts for covered Part B drugs, including inhalation drugs that they provide, beginning April 1, 2008. DRA provisions negatively impacted reimbursement for oxygen equipment beginning in 2009 and negatively impacted reimbursement for DME items subject to capped rental payments beginning in 2007. This as well, will continue to lower Lincare’s profits.
By exiling the Huguenots he lost a lot of potential revenue, and the lavish building of Versailles was not cheap. Moreover, he did not have the revenue to keep up his enormous army and after the early 1680’s his success in wars went in a never ending downward spiral. Perhaps if Louis XIV had learned to manage his money better and not gone to war so readily, his subjects would have been happier and he would have had an even more successful reign, but without a doubt he still remains one of the most powerful rulers in
Diego Cervantes Mr.Olazaba English 11 March 29, 2012 During the great depression there was a lot of poverty because the economy was down and families did not have enough recourses to help support their children . People were drinking alcohol instead of supporting their families, mostly men were drinking. On January 16th, 1919 the 18th amendment of the constitution was ratified, prohibition in the United States was a law. Banning of alcohol only made things worse by increasing organized crime, violence, and corruption among law enforcement officials during the next decade. The 18th amendment contributed to the rise of organized crime because it created a lot of underground business.
In the late 1920’s a change in the economy started, this change is now known as The Great Depression. The downfall of the economy started with banks and stock-market insecurity, and halted with President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal. This revolutionary reform attempted to improve our nation by re-establishing American’s faith. Although not everybody regained the faith, the majority of people devoted to The New Deal rebuilt themselves, our economy, and the overall government. Without the help of our 32nd President, often called by his initials FDR, America could have ended in anarchy.
The Failure of Prohobition The prohibition movement lost political strength in the 1920s. The stock market crash of 1929 and the resulting Great Depression of the 1930s further changed the political climate. Critics of Prohibition argued that the rise of criminal production and sale of alcohol made the legal ban ineffective. In addition, the general public's patronage of speakeasies bred disrespect for law and government. Critics also argued that “legalizing the manufacture and sale of alcohol would stimulate the economy and provide desperately needed jobs”(Prohibition1).
Monet, along with Renoir did not participate likewise with Caillbotte, and Raffaëlli. Monet participated along with Renoir and Raffaëlli in Petit’s Exposotion Internationale. So the final exhibition saw the fervent impressionists pursuing different exhibitions, and later on even a return to the Salon in Monet’s case, saying it was the “high stakes he would play” for commercial reasons. Because so many of the original players were absconding the word ‘impressionist’ was again dropped from the title also Degas felt some of the new artists had little artistic affinity with the originals.
