The strength of the Aussie dollar impacts on exporting, metal prices effect profits, and a slowdown in the global economy will reduce the demand (particularly from China) for the metal produced in BH. The BH mine recently made 440 employees redundant which had a huge effect on the local economy and saw many families leave the region in search of employment Ageing Population: BH has an ageing population which in the short term has a positive effect through construction of aged
Many of the positions are part-time, therefore, they are positions without benefits. By shopping at Walmart, Americans are supporting China. When Walmart opens new stores, they often cause the closing of other stores, and upset the balance of prices in the neighborhood. "Critics believe that Wal-Mart opens stores to saturate the marketplace and clear out the competition, then closes the stores and leaves them sitting empty." ("Store Wars," n.d., Big store, business practices section, para.
America began on small businesses and America has to continue to have small businesses to have a good economy. Wal-Mart endangers businesses all over the country because small businesses cannot compete with the superpower on account of Wal-Mart getting goods from places like China. Most people live within thirty minutes of a Wal-Mart and with their lower prices people will continue to shop there without realizing what they are doing to their own economy. Most people don’t realize that saving a few dollars by shopping at Wal-Mart is crippling all the local businesses around their area. Wal-Mart does not care about the American economy because they are thriving the way the economy is now, so American citizens have to stand up for their communities.
The people who were spending money were the poor more often than the rich; the poor were getting poorer and the rich were essentially becoming richer because even though there was no money to make, they were not spending. In the 1980s and 90s, economists argued that the Federal Reserve had caused banks to decrease their willingness to loan money, which lead to a severe decrease in consumption and in investment because no one had any money to spend. (Szostak 2003). Many people also blamed Hoover for the recession. Hoover was the president at the time.
Without the one-child policy, the population of China will keep increasing. With a big population stress Chinese families cannot get better living conditions. The increasing population is only not a burden for China; it is also a burden for the world. With the limited natural resources, controlling population is a good way to ease the presses. In other words, one-child policy is another way to reduce the resources.
Wal-Mart has brought more jobs to China than the U.S. with more than 5,000 lawsuits towards illegally dumping hazardous waste and low wages. It is clear that Wal-Mart is not healthy for America. Wal-Mart does not want you to know certain information. For instance, in 2004, Wal-Mart refused to hire a person in a wheelchair
In addition the interest on the debt alone was £9 million per year. All of this made it clear to Pitt that something had to happen to try to escape from the mess the government was in. In the 18th century there was a serious problem with people smuggling goods such as tea and tobacco into the country. This was to avoid the duty tax on products, which gave them a huge profit margin. This profit margin made the risk worth taking for many, resulting in the government losing money due to be not paying duty tax.
Bureau of the Census. I then related to the population and how it affected the lack of jobs in America. This interested me because after the gold rush and the foreign miners tax, Chinese workers began to get other job to make money, making the Americans have no jobs cause them to have hatred over the Chinese immigrants. Exclusion Act (Didn’t allow immigrants into the United states for 10 years.) http://ic.galegroup.com/ic/uhic/ReferenceDetailsPage/ReferenceDetailsWindow?failOverType=&query=&prodId=UHIC&windowstate=normal&contentModules=&mode=view&displayGroupName=Reference&limiter=&currPage=&disableHighlighting=false&source=&sortBy=&displayGroups=&search_within_results=&action=e&catId=&activityType=&scanId=&documentId=GALE%7CEJ1667500114 Lastly, I found the Exclusion Act, in which it didn’t allow any more immigrants into the United States.
The average salary in china is about fifty cents a day for production, in comparison to the U.S where the average salary for someone working in production is about eleven dollars an hour. The obvious thing to do is send your production overseas, leaving thousands of Americans unemployed. This is such an ironic fact. It is very upsetting to see how people would rather save a few dollars than to save someone’s job. In my opinion it is a sick cycle, which enviably will reduce the standard of living in the United States.
The fact that Wal-Mart is a company not even a country; and is China’s eighth largest trading partner; just makes us realize how much economic growth depends on businesses to produce more goods and services faster and more efficiently. According to many economists, continuous economic growth leads to greater prosperity for everyone, but because so many countries are trying to achieve the same exact thing, competition is harsh. These are some positive and negative perspectives that are caused by international trade. As you can see, the relationship between the three sources is that they are all based on trade. All around the world, different countries import and export goods to each other so they can benefit themselves with economic growth.
