Although the Titanic is known for carrying the rich and famous, the Ship actually had several purposes to carry British and US mail and to carry general cargo and frozen meat since at that time Europe could not produce enough livestock. It shows us that at this time people wanted to try and develop new things and systems to try to enhance and create better livelihood. People really thought that Titanic was going to be the unsinkable ship due to the fact that it was advertised everywhere that the Titanic was the place to be. It was also a massive development in technology and people weren’t really used to things like this. On the 2nd April 1912 the Titanic set off on its great voyage to America it was on the water for 4 days before hitting an iceberg and sinking 2hours and 40 minutes later.
The Great Depression was a severe period of poverty and tragedy. It effected many other countries not just America; especially in Europe, where many countries had not fully recovered from the aftermath of World War I.

Every one minute Australia's population increases by a new person, currently making Australia the gold medallist of growth! Our population is rising at a faster rate than any European nation, and faster than China, India and Indonesia. In 2009 record levels of overseas migration and childbirth increased our population by 480,000 people and by 2050 it's predicted Australia's population will reach 36 million. According to Dick Smith, that's a recipe for disaster. Taking into account the serious challenges of lack of water, poor soil and urban congestion, Dick believes we need to stabilise our population, not increase it.
UPS did not have the appropriate capacity to handle the large demand for last minute pickups from customers, delivery of packages into sorting facilities, and did not have enough aircraft available to transport the large influx of packages from their Louisville facility to their destination terminals in time to make it onto local delivery trucks. It is important to note that some delays were in part due to bad weather in certain parts of the country.

The problem with this was that the allies had slow growing post war economies, this meant that they had little money to repay their war debts with and many of the nations disagreed that they should have to repay the loan at all, as the war had been in everybody’s interest and the money they had spent had helped the united states to prosper. The two ways that the allies could repay the US were with Gold reserves or with increased exports to America. Neither of these were appropriate, the allies needed gold reserves to support their faltering currencies and they were unable to build up a trade surplus with the states because of their extensive protectionism measures including the … tariff. The main problem, that countries, such as the UK, had, stemmed from re-joining the gold standard. This was a way of doing international trade and was an early exchange rate system, it used gold as a bases to convert currency and later included strong currencies such as the pound and the dollar.
