The key to economic power in Russia was agriculture. When Russia’s agriculture was turning out to look like a disaster, Alexander III as the Tsar made a difference by introducing new laws. He created Peasant Land Banks where peasants were given loans to increase their land size and grow more grain. Therefore Russia was able to sell more grain and gain more money. This suggests that Russia’s economy was improving very early on and this method of increasing their economic power panned out to be successful in the long term, however this would only be successful if the peasants buying the land were productive.
While the government has their constables and professional police which often consisted of the middle class. The government had been successful in separating the working and middle classes through the 1832 Reform Act by granting more social stature to the middle class. The state used this to their advantage as most middle class constables and police fought to keep their land and newfound position in the social hierarchy. A significant development at the time of chartism was the new railways built. Not only did they weaken chartism support as many people had jobs and work to go to but also after being completed, railways allowed dispatching larger groups of troops around the country to trouble spots to become easier and quicker.
With the increase in manufacturing and military jobs, low wage jobs became undesirable to domestic workers. Seeing the struggles to attract domestic workers, farmers turned to the government in hopes that they would intervene to attract workers, arguing that food production was essential for the war effort (Ferris, Sandoval, & Hembree, 1997). To compensate the farmers for the lack of workers, congress passed the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1917, to constitute the legal foundation for the importation of workers. From the years 1917 to 1921, about 73 thousand Mexicans entered the U.S. under the IAN Act
This was mainly due to the economic pressure caused by land distribution between social classes. The large landowners were gaining even more power and influence in government, while the peasants were being more and more burdened by labor and money. The desperate peasants rebelled, such as in the Yellow Turban rebellion in 184 C.E. Although the Later Han dynasty possessed the military power required to keep civil disorder under reasonable control, rebellions by the Yellow Turbans and others weakened the Han state during the 2nd and 3rd centuries C.E. Furthermore, the Later Han emperors were unable to prevent the development of factions at court that paralyzed the central government.
She came up with a bare bones resume and got started. By the end of the book she realized how horribly hard and degrading it is to be a part of the working poor. She believes the government should give more assistance to the “working poor” and others should rally behind getting them better pay. The author is persuading the reader to feel sorry for the people she writes about and to understand their hardships. She seems to have succeeded, but I’m not sure creating more taxes for other families by issuing more government help to these people is the way to do it.
His view was basically seen as social class would always be in conflict and owners would want higher profit and the workers would want higher wages. He thought that this conflict would lead to revolution. Marxists believes that the definition of health and ill-health s strong-minded by the upper class. They also believe that doctors only give out their services to upper class because the upper classes have more power and money and can enjoy a higher standard of health Marxists also claims that the government in a capitalist society allows companies to add to ill-health in society: Tobacco- These companies cause cancer by selling cigarettes and this could also lead to other health conditions. Alcohol- Could cause somebody to become an alcoholic and cause other health conditions.
Stress stems from the world trying to reach the “American Dream”. For the poor, it is rather like a nightmare, according to the Strain theory. “Poor people are not taught to be satisfied with their life but rather are instructed to pursue the American dream; through hard work, it is said, even the lowliest among us can rise from rags to riches”. These ambitions have consequences for the poor because “the social structure limits access to the goal of success through legitimate means (e.g., college education, corporate employment, family connections)” (53). Therefore, crime is a way of life for many Americans because it helps them reach the American dream.

For instance, if our famers don’t have subsidized water, assume the same crops amount needs for the people, the famers need to spend more cost to get the products, and the famers need to raise the product price to sell. If the product price raised to a high end point, the people may not eat those crops and other countries crops may get in the local market, and the local famers will lost the customers and those local famers business workers may lost jobs; this circular flow because the mistake from the governments will let a lot of local people lost job, than they don’t spend money because they don’t have income, and it end up to lowers our GDP and bad to our economics if we stop the subsidized water policy. Thus, I give an A of this quote in economics 4. During the drought that plagued California in the late 1980s and early 1990s, farmers in California were able to purchase subsidized water to irrigate their crops, even though many California homeowners had to pay large fines if they watered their lawns. Can you suggest an explanation for this difference in the treatment of two different groups of citizens within the state of
