According to Oxford dictionary, cotton is «a soft white fibrous substance which surrounds the seeds of the cotton plant and is made into textile fibre and thread for sewing». No one knows exactly, how old cotton is. Researches hold by scientists in the Open Cotton Bollcaves in Mexico resulted in finding bits of cotton bolls and pieces of cotton cloth that were at least seven thousand years old. Another fact, that proves cotton has been used by humanity for a long period of time, tells that cotton "was being grown, spun and woven into cloth three thousand years BC" ...

Introduction

Genetically Modified Cotton (GM Cotton) is one in which biotechnology has been applied to come up with transgenic or altered and desirable traits such as increased pest resistance. Approximately 25 million hectares have been put under cotton around the world especially in China, India, US, and Pakistan. GM cotton has been engineered to address two major issues. The first one is ability to resist glycophosate-based herbicides and the second issue is the ability to produce a toxin that kills bollworms which is a primary destroyer of the crop (Eyhorn, 2007).
There are controversies regarding the benefits or disadvantages of ...

‘Cotton is King’ was a slogan in America that illustrated its importance to the economy and its role in the development of the American economy. Slave trade opened the door for exploitation of resources, and it led to the expansion of the agricultural sector, which required intensive labor. However, the invention of the cotton gin made a historic mark in the cotton industry and the overall economy (Brown 99). It increased efficiency in cotton production hence triggered the demand for slaves who would contribute to growing the cotton. The slave trade was beneficial to America through offering labor and ...

For those with the eyes to look far past the Presidency, now in the hands of an African-American man, there is still an impending crisis within the U.S.; that is, an existing movement that continues to use Blaxploitation films as a means to accurately portray representative characterizations of African Americans. Although we are now well into the 21st century, this has been an on-going problem that was first put to society’s attention by Ossie Davis. "Cotton Comes to Harlem" is one such movie that achieved legendary status, when it was released in 1970. By some, it is even considered a ‘ ...

International trade is the skeleton of Brazillian prosperity rests. Free trade system have created a high competition in today's open market. It is marred with continuous innovation and leads to better products, well paid jobs, fresh markets, and increased profits and investment. Free trade lets the cotton growers produce more products to reach international consumers at lower prices, thereby hugely increasing their standard of living.
Moreover, the benefits of FTA extend well beyond borders. Free trade helps to spread the value of freedom, reinforce the rule of law, and foster economic development in poor countries. The national debate over ...

Introduction

Public policy in the United States refers to legislature on the production, distribution and selling practices of food products. Ever since the Great Depression, the federal government came up with regulations known as the Farm Bill that would assist the farmers by increasing and stabilizing their farm earnings (Godwin, Mishra and Ortalo- Magne, 6). Over the history of the country, the government has used two tools, price supports and price control to ensure that the income of the farmers is not adversely or negatively affected.

There are different kinds of farm subsidies that a government can provide for its farmers. ...

The Southern and the Northern portions of the United States developed in different fashions. The North developed in the line of industrialization while the Southern section remained predominantly an agrarian economy. This means that there were different beliefs and cultures in the two sections. Disagreements were bound to happen. The disagreements were in the line of tariffs, taxes, federal rights as well as state rights. The civil war was inevitable.

After Eli Whitney had developed the invented the cotton gin, the Southern part developed in another different perspective from the northern part. There were a number of concerns that ...

The tension between the North and antebellum South sparked during the boom of the cotton industry in the agricultural South. The demand for slave workers in Southern plantations was fueled by the 1793 invention of Eli Whitney which is called the cotton gin. This mechanized device removes the seeds from the raw cotton, allowing massive cotton production that requires greater labor force. Additionally, the Industrial Revolution in England gave birth to a new booming industry- the textile manufacturing that demanded massive supply of raw cotton. Thus, black slaves have composed a big percentage (almost one third) of the total population of ...

The domestic slave trade served as an almost universal way of making money, this was particularly true in the south. The southern economy largely depended on domestic slave trade as well as the high revenue from cotton sales internationally. Slaves were used to clear up forests and plant cotton in the south states by providing cheap and very reliable labor. Slaves were also used as a measure of exchange when planter had a huge debt. The plantation owner would settle his debt by trading a couple of slaves with the person he owes or sell them to make money to settle the ...

Introduction
Slavery is often considered as a social institution or an established practice that has existed since the early history of mankind and is present in almost all regions of the world. Among the earliest accounts of slavery were found in the ancient cities of Mesopotamia as early as 2,300 B.C.. However, it could not be fully established as to when slavery actually started as its genesis was lost in the passage of time. An important point to consider though in studying the origins of slavery is that it could not have existed during the time ...

The industrial revolution is a fundamental qualitative restructuring of the material ...

Abstract

The Human Variome Project (HVP) is a global initiative to collect, curate and make accessible data on genetic variations that affect human health. The HVP was launched in 2006 following the recommendations of a meeting co-sponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO) in Melbourne, Australia. The meeting came up with at least 96 recommendations that were grouped in 12 categories. The idea of the HVP was prompted by the fact there was a lot of ongoing work on curation of the genetic variation data across the globe but the efforts lacked coordination often resulting in incomplete or inaccurate data. HVP is therefore a ...

The Industrial Revolution began in England in the late 18th century, spreading all across Europe before it finally reached North America and Canada at a later date. The late arrival of the revolution to the colonies was, at least in part, due to the distance between them and the countries of Europe. We can, however, also demonstrably say that the slowness of the revolution in Canada at least was due to the sheer distances involved in the colonies themselves. This paper will examine the industrial revolution in Canada, moving from general terms to specific ones, in order to show ...

One of the heartbreaking truths about World War 1 was that millions of innocent men needlessly died because civilian and military leaders were slow in changing their war strategies and effectively employing new technologies. Thus, the war typified a fight between an inefficient nineteenth century warfare which witnessed lot of casualties on both sides, and a twentieth century technology-driven battle in which many decisive technologies were tested. As for America, the trend of industrialism and mass production of machineries and war equipments had begun fifty years prior to the onset of the war during the American Civil War. With ...

Introduction

The American Civil War stood out as perhaps the most catastrophic historical event in the history of the United States (US).

While Latin and South America do not have a reputation for being a hotbed of economic prosperity, the fortunes of Bolivia over the past two decades have been particularly spotty. Currently, Bolivia stands near the bottom of most rankings of wealth and development in the region, dating back to a severe crisis that took place early in the 1980’s. The government responded to this crisis with reforms that initiated private investment and led to positive growth, which brought poverty down in the 1990’s. However, the years 2003 through 2005 exhibited considerable instability in government, as well as rioting that showed ...

The nullification crisis arose during the presidential term of Andrew Jackson. The nullification guaranteed numerous implications for the future of the union and the state of Southern Carolina. The nullification, its process, content and facilitators, brought to life questions on the nature of the constitution. It also raised eyebrows on the relationship of the national government and the individual states. John C. Calhoun, former vice president, argued that the state had every right to declare null and void a law passed by congress. However, this was only valid if the state considered such a law as unconstitutional. Although the key issue ...

Once in a while, it is possible to turn to a television station like PBS and stumble upon a National Geographic documentary featuring the pyramids of ancient Egypt. They are so common it is almost easy to forget that ancient Incas and Aztec civilization also constructed unique pyramids. Three pyramids in particular are directly under a group of celestial stars and thus further complicate the mystery of them all. In Egypt, the archaeologists and forensic scientists have found bones of many people buried right beside the multi-dimensional triangles and other structures. They have questioned the role and status of these people who seemed ...

ABSTRACT

Never in its history had the U.S. faced an economic crisis like the Great Depression of 1929-41, and never had the federal government played such an active role in social and economic life prior to the New Deal. From the 1870s to 1920s, almost all of the presidents had been conservative Republicans who served the interests of Wall Street and large corporations rather than workers, small farmers and the general public. With the collapse of capitalism in 1929-33, though, these forces were temporarily discredited and the door was left open to new economic policies that abandoned laissez faire in ...

Slavery played a profoundly important role in the making of the United States, as the institution grew from the handful of Africans landed in Virginia in 1619 to the four million African Americans held in bondage at the beginning of civil war in 1861. The bound labor of at least twelve generations of black people crated great wealth for slaveholders, wealth which later translated into a greater political power. The slave trade empowered the American nation which later led to industrial revolution with slave labor producing products like cotton which is a well known cash crop.
Slave owners regularly separated black ...

Tobacco farming in Jamestown VA

The Indians of Chesapeake grew tobacco which was used in their spiritual ceremonies. The English settlers aimed to sell tobacco in England, although they were unproductive. Tobacco from Virginia had a stronger scent and taste than one grown the West Indies grew, and so consumers preferred a variety which was milder. John Rolfe sowed this tobacco considered to be sweeter in Virginia, and raised a sufficient amount to ship to England. Rolfe’s tobacco sold it at a high price, and tobacco rapidly became Virginia’s main cash crop (Pederson, 2009, p.37). At first, the governors of Virginia dispirited the settlers from tobacco ...

The film industry has presented extreme pictures of the treatment of slaves in America. On the one hand films like Gone with the Wind present images of the idyllic plantation, with paternalistic owners and happy loyal slaves eager to serve their masters. On the other hand, films like Twelve Years a Slave presents the brutal treatment inflicted upon slaves in southern plantations (Brook, “Slavery on Film: What is Hollywood’s Problem”). These extreme representations of the treatment of slaves fail to capture the varied conditions under which ...

It is hard to imagine a modern life without polymers. They are literally everywhere. What makes them so useful and unique? Chemists look inside the structure of a matter in order to explain specific chemical or physical properties. Polymers do have unusual structures. Their large molecules consist of particular segments that are repeated by some pattern. The segments are called monomers. As a result of polymerization, monomers completely change their properties. For example, polyethylene (-CH2-CH2-)n, “the largest tonnage plastic material”, is a waxy solid polymer (Nicholson 6). However, ethylene by itself is a gaseous matter.
Even though man-made polymers were introduced relatively ...
