In my previous paper, I reviewed Systems Theory of management in regards to the early management practices in Ancient Egypt. Within the current research I will discuss the US Industrial Revolution and its connection to the systematic management. To begin with, the US Industrial revolution started at the end of the 18th century and lasted for almost 100 years. Some may call it as a continuation of the British Industrial Revolution, as most changes in the US manufacturing started after new machinery and technologies were brought from the UK. Cotton production was a pioneer industry to change from handcrafted ...

Even in the 21st century, the problems of race, class, gender, and ethnicity did not disappear from the terrains of the U.S. The country holds tragic experiences in the history regarding the unequal dissemination of power that led to the catastrophic outcomes, including the slavery, economic downturns, and a failure to establish equal and sound social relationship in the community. While the liberalist principles prevail in the current political and social frameworks, there are a lot of inequalities existing in the American society, where the representatives of non-Caucasian ethnicity tend to be poorer, women still earn less than men ...

One reason for the boom was attractiveness of the financing rates at that time and coincided with the state of the aging planes of both. The other reason is ...

The play Fences by August Wilson is set in the American urban setting in 1957. After the end of the Civil War and the Reconstruction, it is clear that the White Americans and the Black Americans had been segregated in almost all areas of life (Tribute To August Wilson 1). These arenas included buses, schools, and even in sport, for instance, baseball. The play gives a practical example of a great player whose dream is crushed along racial lines, despite being good in the game of baseball. Troy Maxson, who is the protagonist in the play, defines his life ...

The Middle West has always held the notion of being at cultural crossroads. In the Middle West the prairie is contextualized as an idea and also as a reality. The prairie spirit existed as an idea that could be fundamentally expressed through the direct use of plants native vegetation. The reality of it came when it was presupposed that the native vegetation would be planted and grouped to come up with a naturalistic composition of the ecosystem (Miller 13). Culture and race played a significant role in the settlement of the Middle West. Majorly the people who settled in ...

During the 1990s that the Hispanic American community in the U.S. began increasing at almost four times the rate at which the country’s entire population figures were rising mainly due to the influx of immigrants and the high birth rate of the Hispanic community already present there. It is this statistic that has led sociologists to predict that in the next five decades, Hispanic Americans that are a minority today will account for almost half of the American population. In addition to being one of the fastest growing ethnic minorities, Hispanic Americans are also predominantly young, and thanks ...

Quoting Marchetti, Ausubel states, “Successful societies are learning systems” (Ausubel, 1995). Organized social learning and the development of our society caused increased technological progress. Since 1400, the number of technological and scientific discoveries has dramatically increased (Appendix A). In the twentieth century, it continued its growth. It was the time of scientific and technological advances that significantly improved our living but at the same time caused environmental problems, as the creation of the internal combustion engine became one of the major reasons of the outpouring of greenhouse gases. In the twenty-first century, we have something to do with them. ...

The great migration saw mass exodus of a whopping 7 million blacks from southern states in the US to the Midwest, Western and Northern states in America. This occurred between the periods of 1916 to 1970 (Arnesen 1). There was widespread practice of racism in the south with Whites enjoying the benefits of white collar jobs, goods schools for their children, conducive living environment, and political dominance. This pushed away the blacks who moved to the Northern, Midwest and Western states to seek employment into the industrial cities like Philadelphia, St. Louis, Baltimore and Chicago and other small cities. ...

Introduction

Much of the human suffering and economic disadvantages that occurred during the Great Depression (1929-1933) were a result of the boom mentality and unregulated business practices of the 1920s. People with a corrupt kind of business acumen exploited the weakest segments of society in the poorest regions. Praying on a naïve boom psychology, businessmen led a devastating attack on the Midwest that ultimately was not curbed by politicians or financial institutions until the middle 1930s. New businesses exploited weak government controls and took on many of the same exploitative practices as the Robber Baron businessmen of the 19th ...

Can you (or Mr. Youprop’s Supervisor) search Youprop’s personal vehicle parked in the Company lot for digital evidence?

No. The situation that has been developed after the incidence with Mr. Youprop is a matter that needs to be handled delicately because of the possibility of application of the 4th amendment.

Workers such as Mr., Youprop are usually searched when they are suspected of theft. One of the best ways to handle this issue with minimal law infringement would be, first ...
