The Best and Worst of Americas Presidents Throughout U.S history there have been many good presidents and also many bad presidents. I believe that presidents should be graded on how they handle the economy, foreign policy, and equal rights. From our first president to our current president those I believe are the three most important grading points. A good economy is very important because it gives people a better living by giving them job opportunities and a way for people to make money. Foreign policy is important because it has a lot to do with the trade, technology, and communications of the United States.
In 1971, he conjured up the name Nike. According to the case study, the profits and success that the Nike Corporation has gained has affected hundreds of thousands of workers in other countries that have worked in harsh conditions for very little pay. The case study states that, “Nike is now one of the leading marketers of athletic shoes and apparel on the planet. Nike does not do any manufacturing. Rather, it designs and markets its products, while contracting for their manufacture from a global network of 600 factories scattered around the globe that employ some 650,000 people” (Hill, p. 154).
McClain one of the many Humboldt State University students who are active participants of human rights assemblies and have shown deep interest in supporting the fight against Sweatshops. Powell argues that the workers of Sweatshops are there for a reason and one reason only, they want to earn money to support themselves or their family. Most sweatshops are found in Third World countries because the daily wage businesses and corporations give to workers is less than what the business or corporation receives in gross revenue. McClain agrees with this statement and justifies it with stating that people in these Third World societies are attracted to the money factories offer. This leads to Powell second statement; the money earned daily by
Industrial towns were traditionally disgusting, overcrowded and dirty. Industrial towns were characteristically horrendous places to live in. Due to a large population boom in the early 19th century, hundreds of people flooded into areas such as Bradford and Leeds where they could get a job in the mills and factories. As the population in these areas continued to grow, the towns became disease-ridden and overcrowded. Some industrial towns were so overcrowded that more than ten people could live in one single room, something that was not uncommon in this period.
During the war many African Americans migrated from the southern countryside's to the southern towns and cities for work. More than 1 million African Americans migrated to the north to work in factories; by 1945 50% of African Americans lived in towns and cities. This push towards industrial employment was increased in machinery in farming witch resulted in less demand for labourers to work on the fields. Agricultural work was the main source for income for African Americans. In factories African Americans earned more money than they did as farm labourers.
According to Modernization Theory, the way “to create an economy is based on industrial production and capitalist business practices” (207-175). The secondhand clothing industry was created because more than enough was produced for consumer societies; this industry is commonly associated with charity but in reality it is a business run by capitalists who serve their own interests. The industrial advancements that these businesses have made have inhibited competitive manufacturing with third world civilizations, as well as disrespected cultural rights and forced globalization. The Neoclassical Economic Theory understands third world workers “to be in transition from traditional to modern practices” (2007-134), but anthropologists have documented apparent resiliency of pre-capitalist institutions. One example of a pre-capitalist institution is foraging which according to Marshall Sahlins (2007-127) is a cultural choice by the people whom desired little and

Industrialization also introduced negative effects like harsh working conditions, unsanitary food, and business monopolies, yet was able to fill in the flaws through new inventions, assembly lines, diverse populations along with reforms and eventually impacting society in a positive way. Even though there were flaws, the “American Dream” still prevailed. Obstacles in the path paved the way for the golden future. Tomorrow rests on the stumbles, the mistakes made. The imperfections in the industrial era only served to magnify the beauty of the positives; success could and was achieved.
The Industrial Revolution of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries saw the advent of gross urbanization of factory towns and cities. Due to advancements in areas such as textiles and machinery, many people flocked from the country sides of Europe (particularly Britain) to cities where they sought work was factory operators and machinists. To accommodate the tremendous influx of people, cheap and cramped housing was built, with communal wells provided for water. However, as there were few facilities for removing sewage, and the living conditions were deplorable, disease became rampant. Typhoid fever, cholera, tuberculosis, smallpox and rabies were infectious agents which followed the bubonic plague, and found easy hosts in the unclean slums
