“Sweet, Sour, and Resentful” In this story, Dumas tells Gourmet magazine how her mother prepares a Persian feast weekly for a great number of people. She tells how her mother is bitter about cooking every week for so many people and in a small place. The family had moved to the states before their friends and family, so they were called on to help adapt when they moved to the area. That’s when the weekly meals started. Dumas stated, “Displaying the hospitality that Iranians so cherish, my father extended a dinner invitation to everyone who called”(321).
In order to be healthier, we can get rid things like Rockstar, and buy less soda. We can also get rid of some our microwavable foods and junk foods. Even with all the junk food and microwavable foods that we have, our refrigerator is full of vegetables and food that is organic. Since my mom doesn’t work, and my dad does, we don’t really have to worry about not expecting dinner to be ready at night since she’s not really all that busy. We get a hot meal every night that my mom cooks for us, and it’s not just microwave this and that, it’s something that is prepared over the stove.
From the railroads in the past, we have learned that faster transportation is better. Everything we need travels by boat or train or plane because we understand that is one of the most successful forms of transportation. Bye replacing home-based workshops with factories we have been able to grow our production rates which in the long run put our selling rates high. By switching from hand tools to large machines we have also been able to cut our jobs down, which allows for more money in the pockets of the business men. The industrial revolution has helped the nation and economy grown so much over the time but we know, nothing is perfect.
New inventions changed the very way people resided. One of the most important inventions of all time was the light bulb, founded by Thomas Alva Edison. Edison developed and distributed a system for electricity, eliminating further need of fire-hazardous oil lamps. Electricity was used to improve transportation, increase production and revolutionize business (Danzer 248). Faster production also contributed greatly to the progressions made by the industrial era.
The development of these technologies changed transportation, manufacturing, and even communication. These technologies also contributed to creating huge factories, through standardization, and thus furthering urbanization. The assembly line was a massive factor in industrialization, although it was invented pre-civil war; it allowed the mass production of goods and increased worker efficiency. People were now able to afford things that only the wealthy would have been able to afford in the past. On the other hand, the assembly line did indeed deskill many workers, and further reorganized how the people made a living.
Era of Good Feelings The US has not always been a place of such vast inventions and accessibility. We had to start somewhere and someone had to think of the improvements to our country that we never even think of. The time period 1814-1860 can be termed an Era of Good Feelings socially and economically but not as much politically as there were underlying tones of sectionalism that will ultimately lead to a divide in the United States. This was a time when thoughts of an easier life sparked in the minds of Americans and led them to invent things to increase productivity and to change society as a whole. There were many social changes during the "Era of Good Feelings."
Essay Questions 1. There are several differences between the industrial society and the postindustrial society. Within the industrial society, new types of technology were introduced in order to mass produce goods needed for the economy to grow. Steam transportation was used in order to send their goods to further locals than ever before. They utilized fossil fuel to increase the rate and scale of their production lines, even though over time this would eventually decrease the need for human labor.
However, in Fahrenheit 451, a utopian society seems to have been reached. Perfection seemed to exist in “laws, government, and social conditions.” Compared to our modern world, this future seemed to be happier and their lives less chaotic. Humans have never liked laws because they give off a sense of restriction as well as authority. In the future, laws don’t exist and anything seemed feasible and within one’s reach. There was only a simple law, and that was to not read books as well as think, making “the mind drink less and less.” This doesn’t seem much of a sacrifice because society was filled with far more excitement than literature could offer.
In short run profit maximization will increase however in long run it is harder to increase companies profit because they will need perfect information in order to prevent the risk of the market. According to reality in most of times big companies work for society, to get a brand image and name lowering prices, use child labor and pesticides in order to create lower cost and therefore increase their profit. Sometimes companies make polices in order to get subsides as low carbon emission. As a result more consumers are demanding these products. In the short run firms may not increase their profits because the cuts in prices but if they achieve this in long run they may experience maxim profits.
Many businesses do not realize the consequences of their actions when they hire older, more skilled employees for jobs just to save a few dollars. These businesses are slowly but surely destroying the future of the United States economy because it is easier and less costly to hire older employees that they do not have to spend money training. It is easy to think about how raising the minimum wage could be beneficial, but it is much more difficult to see how such a thing could leave devastating effects on the United States economy. It is important to fully think about the lasting effects of controversial topics such as this one concerning the raising of minimum wage, because there is an enormous chance that they will affect
