In order to define ‘economic development’, I have looked into the literature on the subject to subsidize my answer. I have looked particularly into the works of Acemoglu, Laibson, & List (2016) and Rahnama-Moghadam, Samavati, & Dilts (1995).
Acemoglu, Laibson, & List (2016, p. 205) indicate that the term less developed country (LDC) fosters images of backwardness, poverty, and lower levels of technological sophistication. They claim there is some truth in these images but, nonetheless, there is a broad range of countries that are correctly described as being less developed. One country has not reached the known levels of financial well-being that ...

Brinkley (1992) argues that the Second World War was the largest conflict in human history as it ranged across six continents and cost the lives of fifty million civilians and soldiers (p.774). This essay will identify the reasons why America joined the Second World War. There will be a major analysis of the major American campaigns during the Second World War which includes: the North African campaign, the results of these campaigns, and the overall success for the Allies as a result of these campaigns. The American position in each campaign will be emphasised.
Chambers (1999) suggests that even ...

Describe the different courses of the Revolutionary War in New England, the middle colonies, and the South. What role did the battles in each region play in the eventual American victory?
The American Revolutionary War was characterized by three phases being the New England phase, the middle colonies phase, and the Southern phase, which took place between 1775 and 1783 (Grossberg & Tomlins, 2008). New England colonies consisted of 13 colonies, which included Rhode Island colonies, Massachusetts, Providence Plantation, and New Hampshire among others. France attempted on several occasions to colonize New England but failed. New England, mainly carried out ...

When the American Revolutionary War began, the then thirteen North America colonies of the British Empire were in need of a different government that would replace that of the Monarch. The Founding Father’s first try in attempting to establish the territories’ self-governance produced the Articles of Confederation proposed to the Second Continental Congress in the year 1777 at Philadelphia. The States ratified the Articles and in 1781, the new laws were active. Still, by 1789, the United States Constitution was already in place as a replacement to the Articles and for that reason alone, it was evident that ...

Alienation involves isolating a certain group of people by being indifferent and discriminative. This paper focuses on an article that provides a detailed account of suffering that North Koreans underwent through the rule of Kim- Jong- il and his current predecessor Kim- Jong- un through the eyes of the Myth of Sisyphus, a compilation of essays by Albert Camus. I chose the article by Tom Phillips about a refugee who escaped the inhumanity in North Korea because refugees are some of the people who face great alienation. Also, through Yeonmi Park’s experiences, a refugee, described in this article, ...

Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia had several specific military advantages over the Union Army. Ultimately, however, the Union Army triumphed. General Lee and the officers and men under his command could not overcome the inherent strengths of the Union Army and ultimately were defeated.

Lee’s Army: The Strengths

The Army of Northern Virginia had three major military advantages compared to the North (“Confederate States Had Many Advantages at Civil War Outset,” 2014). The North had to invade them and obtain the complete surrender of the South. Otherwise, the North could not preserve the Union (Wells, 2013). This meant that the South could ...

It will seek to justify their levels of threats according to their past and present political issues.

Tickers

The first ticker country to consider is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea). From the very beginning, North Korea started ...

Post U.S. – Mexican War through 1870’s

When the US – Mexican War (1846 – 1848) was over, the territory of the USA increased for almost 30%, as a part of the Mexican territory became the US land. The territory of the USA expended, but some critical issues raised; they were connected with the governing of the new territories and, basically, the questions about slavery.
The main concern was between the North and the South. “The Northern Whigs and Abolitionists feared the attempts to plant cotton in the new territory. Slaveholders feared that the slavery would be banned and they would ...

In the first half of the XIX century, in the United States, there developed two systems – slavery in the south and capitalism in the north. These were two completely different socio-economic systems which coexisted in one country. The situation was aggravated by the fact that the United States was (as well as remains now) a federal country. The integration processes among states were rather slow. Therefore, the South where slavery and agrarian economic system were common, and the industrial North were slowly splitting away into two separate economic regions.
The differences between the northern and southern states were rather ...

There are many theories on why the North won over the South in the Civil War which happened hundreds of years ago. The first reason is that the North has the ability to produce armed forces and other relevant resources compared to the South. As the North banked on its unions, they also invested in getting the most admirable and most intelligent military officers who worked for them until they have claimed the victory. Conversely, the militaries from the South had to fight with empty stomach because they suffered from scarcity of resources. Indeed, having enough men and resources ...

The economic development of Vietnam after the end of long-lasting war was quite complicated and controversial. The infrastructure destroyed during the war almost to the full extent and the human capital lost due to the same reasons constituted additional difficulties for the communist authorities that tried to foster its economic development. In general, modern statistics reveal unsatisfied results of their policies because it seems that Vietnam did not reach the vast majority of the goals estimated in the Second Five-Year Plan. This plan adopted in 1975 became the first plan aimed ...

As much as there has been the creation of employment opportunities massively generated by the oil industry in the Middle East and North African nations, there are still significant disparities on the level of women participation in the labor force as noted by Massoud and Moghadam (53). These disparities have been attributed to various factors, but the most outstanding reasons have remained to be two-fold; first, the traditional gender paradigm characterized by patriarchy play a significant role accompanied by occupational segregation which is mainly defined by disparities in the income level. This thesis paper explores the validity of the ...

Why the North Won the Civil War

As many understand now, the Confederacy’s economy was based almost entirely on what it could produce agriculturally. Essentially, the economy was built on the backs of slaves and when the war began, there was only one iron foundry south of the Mason Dixon line. Confederate leaders remained sure this, as well as cotton and other agricultural endeavors would be enough to see the states through the war and beyond. They may have been correct in believing this at the time, as Britain relied heavily on the cotton resources to continue their textile industries, and Confederate leaders assumed if ...

The process through which the English settlers became Americans was twofold: they claimed North America as their home and cut ties with the mother country. First, the Red Indian tribes that existed throughout the lands claimed North America as their home, albeit in separate units. For that reason, confrontations that closely resembled a tug of war ensued because two distinct groups were vying for the same resources. Now, the assimilation of one faction by the other was impossible as their traditions differed greatly. Hence, it is no wonder that David Edmunds’ Tecumseh and the Quest for Indian Leadership revolves ...

Introduction

The growing shortages in food supplies, rapid climate change and increasing awareness of environment stewardship has all made eco farms an increasingly viable option. By reversing environmental deterioration, supporting local communities and balancing out community-ecosystem-market relations ("Solution: an eco-farming revolution," n.d.), eco farms are gradually replacing conventional forms of agricultural production, particularly as factory agri-products are becoming subject to mounting pressure not only from environmental groups but also from consumers growing more disillusioned by a combination of unhealthy products, price hikes and environmental damage. True, biotech industry appears to inform adoption of GM foods for international expansion and profit ...

Introduction

Internal Analysis of Encana

Introduction

The oil and gas industry in North America is currently experiencing challenges and transition stage. The increasing need for the environment-friendly and sustainable forms of energy is affecting the industry negatively as more governments and companies are encouraged to use energy with no or low carbon emission. More companies are now developing solar and wind energy and create vehicles that can rely on electricity rather than oil.
Such growing trend in the energy sector resulted to lower demand of oil and gas particularly in the North America. Many oil and gas producing countries and companies ...

List the reasons for and against Confederacy. Did financial matters take priority?

In the 1850s and 1860s, cracks in the relationship between Britain and British North America began to appear due to North Brunswick stamps being bought by cents, not pence, and they had Charles Connell’s, not Queen Victoria’s, face on them. There were many Canadians during the nineteenth century who felt that uniting with the United States of America was impractical, unpopular, unnatural, but entirely necessary. There were many Canadians who felt that they had so much more in common with the United States that it made sense to unite together from an economic, cultural, defensive and historical ...

I. INTRODUCTION
The current use of the North-South divide in demarcating global Christian religion is not new. It originated as an economic and political convention to distinguish the First World and the Second World in the North and the Third World in the South. Thus, the churches in the North include the churches in North America, Western Europe, and the developed part of East Asia; while the churches in the South comprise the churches in Africa, South America, and the rest of Asia, including the Middle East. However, the demarcation line can arbitrary depending on the institution that creates ...

Slavery, which the South frequently referred to as its “peculiar institution,” had an enormous impact on American history. Even after 1863 and the abolition of slavery through the Emancipation Proclamation, as well as the 1865 passage of the 13th amendment to the Constitution, slavery continued to have lasting effects on the American people for decades to come. The beginnings of African slavery go all the way back to the first British settlements in North America. However, it was the division of former British colonies into slave states in the South and free states in the North that laid the ...

The Paris Peace Talk Negotiations

The Paris negotiations were long and involved many parties. There were the United States, the Soviet Union, North Vietnam, and South Vietnam. The aim of the negotiations was to end a war between North Vietnam and South Vietnam, which had been in existence for a very long time. My main role was negotiating for the North Vietnam side. The negotiation process was intense with each side putting its demands on the table. Our negotiation team laid out the following demands as was expected of us as representatives of North Vietnam. First, we agreed that it was important to keep ...

The Civil War which lasted from 1861-1865 was caused by a number of factors. Most of the reasons for the Civil War were economic, political and social. The economic reasons for the Civil War were as follows. The economic disparities between the North and the South. The South had a plantation system that consisted of growing numerous crash crops including tobacco, indigo and cotton which were extremely profitable and depended on slave labor. The North’s economy was more industrialized which meant that it depended more on people working together rather than a class system.
An economic-political reason for ...

There is a wide accepted concept that after centuries of development, the Muslim world began to decline in the 15th century. Did it really decline? In this work I would like to illustrate the main trends of developments of the Muslim world in early 15 – early 20 century. We know that in part of the second millennium, and for five centuries later there were many Asian invasions in other regions of the world, wide expansion (Seljuk, Arab, Turkish). But then the stagnation began. Since the "golden age" of the Abbasid Empire, it has not changed territorially. And large areas ...

Having analyzed the three films, produced in France, we have concluded that the integration in various countries and regions happens in different ways, and each has its own characteristics. We chose such films as "Serial (bad) weddings", "Nothing to declare" and "Welcome to the Sticks", and their example will demonstrate these features. In addition, we will try to compare the integration, shown in the films with the integration of migrants in the United States.
In my opinion, "Serial (bad) weddings" displays better than others the integration of migrants in France, as the four characters, represented in the film, are ...

The American civil (1861-1865) was majorly as a result of a decision by the slave-owning Southerners to secede or break away from the federal union that had been created by the US Constitution after its ratification. Their action has been described as arising out of fear that President Abraham Lincoln’s would put a restriction on their right to own slaves. Abraham himself, a Northern man, opposed the planned withdrawal and separation, maintaining its illegality. However, despite this opposition, the secession went on to result in one of the bloodiest and costly wars in the American history that involved ...

Introduction

Since the end of the Great Wars, the US hegemony has remained superior than other countries and it was clear no one would be able to challenge their dominance in the fields of politics and the economy. Many countries often seek the advice of the US in terms of their political and economic reforms and seek aid to ensure their continuous growth. When there are major conflicts, the US is considered by many countries to act immediately due to its role as a world police. Considering its role in the international arena, many believed that the US would remain ...

Post U.S. – Mexican War through 1870s

After the Civil War, the situation in the United States was chaotic, as the time for radical changes had come. The goal of the Reconstruction (1865 – 1877) was to restore the society, although, it was a great challenge. First of all, the war ended with a significant human loss – “over 600,000 people” died during the Civil War (YouTube). Secondly, the largest slavery system was still present, and it was extremely difficult to put an end to the division of race, as the blacks were still considered to be slaves and the majority ...

An exploration of the interests that the English had when settling the North America Continent reveals that the establishment and development of Virginia and Massachusetts in 1607 and 1620 respectively stemmed from different causes. The Virginia Company of London and the Massachusetts Bay Company granted passages for English immigrants while hoping that each group would establish a settlement that would benefit the Monarch in one way or another. As one would expect with the acquisition of territories outside the mother country, the new areas held potential for the people of Britain from the personal to national levels. In other ...

Question 1

Geography is unique since it is the most basic and essential science. The creation of the field of geography is through human curiosity concerning the atmosphere and the environment in the world. It becomes unique because it is both a social and natural science. The core unifying factor between human and physical geography is the environmental determinism concept which argues that the natural environment directly influences human beings’ moral, mental and physical habits. Both depend on each other while on the earth’s surface since a majority of human’s activities are through the exploration of physical activities.

Appalachia is a region lying in Eastern North America. The significance of this region’s geographical boundaries do not exist only because of the legally defined limits; rather it is the region’s historical, cultural and environmental conditions of the Appalachian region (The Alliance for Appalachia).

The region is known for the predominant coal mining activities that take place there but before the coal miners and current inhabitants took over the area, it was home to the Cherokee.

The forcible removal and transportation of millions of African men and women to the Americas took place for over three centuries starting in the mid 1400’s and ending in the late 1800’s. The importation and enslavement of Africans resulted in great economic growth as well as a resettling of the American Continents. An estimated 6.5 million people came to the Western Hemisphere. 83 percent of the people arriving were African slaves. The slave trade sets the precedence for capitalism. This was because the labor of the slaves generated great wealth for businesses in America and Europe. The ...

Historians make history

There is a common perception that history is not truth. Even though it forms the base of our knowledge about the world, History is nonetheless only a version of events. It is shaped by the perspectives and interpretations of the individuals who recorded it. Prominent examples exist that give credence to this fact. For example, in Ed Baptist’s Book “The Half Has Never Been Told”, He argues that the increase in America’s economic output in the 19th century was mainly due to black worker’s innovations in the cotton fields. However, critics have strongly disagreed claiming that ...

Acemoglu, Laibson, & List (2016, p. 123) explain there is a circular flow connecting households and firms. Families demand goods and services, as they supply capital and labor; on the other hand, companies demand capital and labor, while supplying products and services;
As supply and demand match, a flow of income and expenditure is established between the ...

Question 2

Forms of slave trade resistance

The second arm consisted of the abolitionists, who persistently called for the slave trade to come to an end in a more louder and forceful way within the last two decades of the 18th century.
The Africans showed resistance ...

Introduction

The civil war was a fight over the state rights, and this claim can be supported by the idea that the thirteen colonies in America staged often defied the policies imposed by their mother country. The vast oceans that separated them from Britain served as a means for them to distance themselves from the monarchical rule and be independent in their way. Thus, the concept of state right was already observed even before the American Revolution and the Civil War. During the declaration of American Independence, there was also a need for the newly established national government to compromise ...

The modern life of ours is largely dependent on what our ancestors did and did not do. The history, which is in the best words the recording of the flow of events, has a considerable impact on the way the society evolved. In fact, society itself is the product of historical dramatic changes. In these terms, since the dawn of our civilization, human beings had got used to documenting all the key episodes of their lives.
However, some of the historical archives may consist of fake material, wrong opinions, and fabricated facts. Such a way of disguising the truth ...
