The North and The South After the American Civil War

History
After the Civil War industrialization changed the whole nation, but The North changed faster than the South. The thesis is that the North adopted a higher degree of industrialization more quickly than the South because there were cities with a large population and resources did not have to be transferred. Even if the North had lost the war (for example, because resources were blockaded by the South), the North still would have become industrialized.
Johnson (2003) explained how northern soldiers turned into workers in urban areas. According him to the law to have soldiers from the North was " ...

In addition, the batteries in electric cars pose a number of challenges. The battery life is substantially short lived and requires constant charging, something that a busy American would find very distasteful. As it is, the battery could end when an individual is on the road, and they would have to recharge it. The full recharging of an electric car takes about twelve hours(Anderson & Anderson, 2004, 17). These are a lot of hours considering that the battery can only last for 100 miles. Such length for a recharge is not accommodative for most people who opt for the normal cars that take ...

Introduction

The shoe industry is known to be one of the non-environmental friendly industry segments. The use of hazardous raw materials and chemicals while manufacturing shoes, especially the use of highly toxic element chromium, adhesives, toxic solvents and non-renewable synthetic materials can do serious damage to the environment and human health.

Therefore, it is very important for the shoe companies to practice sustainability. In recent times, a trend of environmental consciousness has engulfed the shoe companies. Most of the big shoe ...

Costing Methods

It would be preferable to use absorption costing method. Absorption costing applies some of the fixed costs when determining per unit cost. In this instance, the fixed manufacturing overheads have been applied proportionately to the units manufactured and sold. The fixed manufacturing overheads are applied to all the units that have been manufactured. This ensures that the cost of the units sold during the accounting year is not inflated by applying all of it to the sold units as is the case with variable costing (Davis & Davis, 2012). A proportion of this cost is charged to the closing inventory ...

Factories have always been seen as emitters of enormous smokes, which makes factories as major contributors of air pollution. But, aside from the air pollution, factories have been contributing to land pollution, as well as water pollution. These pollutions were mainly because of the emissions of harmful gases, mixing of toxic and hazardous chemicals on natural water resources, direct contact of harmful chemicals and wastes to surface soils (Peterson, para. 1). Moreover, although different factories produce different waste products, still, the environment is always at risk.
One of the most familiar effects of factories is how it contributes ...
