During the Great Depression many new deal agencies and oppositions rose to help get people out of the Great Depression. Franklin D. Roosevelt came up with a plan called the New Deal, which was to indicate relief to the country during this rough time. The country severely needed help to recover and reform the country. Franklin D. Roosevelt’s responses to the Great Depression were the New Deal but despite his efforts it was not as effective as he thought it was going to be. His plan was short term but the overall major change was the expansion and dependence of the government.
The Depression did not discriminate against whom it hit; upper, middle, and lower class workers were all affected by it.
One of the most severe worldwide economic downturns in history is known as the great depression. Numerous amount of issues and problems were taken place between the years of 1929-1939. The great depression brought a rapid rise in unemployment, bank failure, and much more. Despite the wide range of issues, Franklin D Roosevelt was actually concerned about the depression.

The Great Depression was a time of great economic tragedy during the 1930’s. October 24, 1929 was the day of the stock market crash, causing economical shortage everywhere, even globally, and this scared everyone, including the rich. This day was/ is known as “Black Thursday”, where over 2.9 million shares were traded. On “Black Tuesday”, five days later, more than 16 million more shares were traded in another wave of panic. Many investors then lost confidence in their banks and demanded deposits in cash which forced the banks to liquidate loans in order to supplement their on hand cash reserves. By 1933, around 15 million Americans were unemployed and nearly half of the country’s banks had failed. This stopped Americans from purchasing which then led to less production of goods and decreased the amount of needed human labor. In the end, millions of shares ended up worthless, and those investors who had bought stocks with borrowed money were wiped out completely.
The end of the first world war brought about a recession and then nearly a decade of prosperity in the United States. However, on October 29th, 1929, during Herbert Hoover’s presidency, the stock market crashed due to a multitude of problems within the country. At this point, thousands of people that had prospered before the crash, were homeless, jobless, and in a state of penury. In the 1932 election, Franklin Delano Roosevelt ran against the former president, Republican Herbert Hoover, and defeated him in a landslide, receiving the electoral vote in all but six states (Appleby, 651).

When Franklin Roosevelt released the New Deal in 1933, a plan to provide relief, reform, and recovery to the distressed country, Americans were in dire need of relief. President FDR acted quickly and implemented a series of programs aimed towards providing an immediate stop to the economic free fall and providing relief to his people (DPLA3). In his effort to reduce the severity of poverty and unemployment, FDR released programs to aid business and labor, farmers, housing and homeowners,
In response to the Great Depression, President Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized a series of economic measures known as the New Deal in the United States between 1933 and 1938. The New Deal concentrated on three major features called the "3 Rs": relief for the unemployed and poor; recovery of the economy to a stable level; and reform of the current economic system to prevent another depression. The New Deal was unsuccessful as it had many shortcomings and failed to improve the state of the nation.

There is not just one cause, although many assume that the stock market crash of 1929 was solely responsible. The Dust Bowl, tariffs, debts, and an abundance of other needed banking laws and problems also caused the loss of money in the country's economy, the highest rates of deflation seen since the start of the United States. The Great Depression reached every social class, because each social class caused it.

Kinetics of reactions, otherwise known as chemical kinetics, is the study of how particles and bonds between particles change in a chemical reaction over time. These changes can be viewed at a molecular level through the use of reaction rates. Reactions rates tell us how fast or how slow the change is happening at this level, or how the reaction depends on the time.
