In 1895, he presented to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers an experimental study named “A note on belting” and no long after, he published, “A piece rate system”. Among Taylor’s other contributions to Bethlehem were, a real time analysis of daily output and costs, a modern cost accounting system, reduced yard worker’s ranks from 500 to 140, double stamping mill production, and lowered cost per ton of materials handled from eight cents to four cents.

The author takes from his own experiences and shows us what it would have been like to live during this time period as an average American. Both of these novels work to explain the motivations of the working class, but do so in very different ways. Overall, The 42’nd Parallel focuses quite a bit more on the working class than Howard’s end does. Five separate characters are followed, each with a different set of ideals and goals.

Many people believe we win wars, when in actuality, no one does, especially those who serve in the armed forces (Suicide Wall, 11-10-2000). The Vietnam and other wars have mentally and sometimes physically dismembered many veterans. Another factor that plays a role in a war-related suicide is the addition of many on-site diseases such as defoliants, Agent Orange in particular. Made up of equal parts N-Butyl Ester 2,4,-D and N-Butyl Ester 2,4,5,-T, Agent Orange made many Vietnam soldiers go insane (Vietnam Veterans, 11-10-2000). This atrocious chemical lead and still today leads to death, deformation, and diabetes.
Collective bargaining an important part of the labor union movement is negotiation between employers and employees about terms and conditions of employment. Unions usually represented the employees, and the bargaining process would be involved with negotiations such as; wages, fringe benefits, working hours, job security and other matters that relate to working conditions. Unions today in the United States have lost the upper hand with bargaining power of wages and benefits for the U.S. worker. Prior to this decline, competition was low, laws favored unionization, and the workforce was predominately made up of the white male, blue collar worker. These factors have all changed and with it so did the ability for unions to collectively bargain effectively any longer.

The riots that occurred in Brixton in 1981 can trace a link back to the riots that had erupted in Bristol in 1980 when the local police entered the Black and White café to apprehend a known criminal. This led to one hundred and thirty people being arrested and twenty-five people hospitalised after a night of violence not seen on the streets of Great Britain since the race riots in the 1950’s. Bristol was experiencing the same issues highlighted by the local populace of Brixton – heavy handed policing using sus law, a lack of adequate housing and job opportunities.
The Tsar lost popularity for many reasons between 1905 and 1914. Firstly, the 1905 revolution, where his men open fired at peaceful protesters, killing and wounding thousands. This lost him support from nearly the whole country, as he was blamed for his men killing the petitioners. No matter how big the country is, it affected all the people of Russia, as friends, family and loved ones were killed. Secondly, the fact that he introduced the Duma, but gave them near to no power, contributed to him becoming so disliked.
