Vermont has been through many changes from 1945 through the present day. These changes have influenced jobs and the economy. When the Interstate was built in Vermont in the 1960s, it expanded the reach of Vermont to the outside world, and this brought jobs to the State. It is hard to exaggerate the impact of the Interstate system on Vermont. For example, there were jobs created in ski areas, due to the growth of skiing and due to more tourists arriving in the state. And this all led to gourmet restaurants and bigger hotels to accommodate the tourists. Concern about sprawl and protecting the scenic heritage of Vermont led the Legislature to pass Act 250 in 1970. CITATION!!! This legislation required permits for certain
One of these most functions was the development of infrastructure, specifically roads. The creation of the state of Ohio and thus Marietta was pertinent considering the Ohio and Muskingum Rivers that supply the area. These rivers made what is known as the Mid-Ohio Valley a promising location for expansion into the west. Furthermore, shortly after settlers arrived and began to develop this land they began building and
Due to this migration the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act of 1956 was created. The justification given to the public was that it would make evacuation of large cities more efficient in case of an attack by the Soviet Union. It became the largest public works program in American history. The program was completely funded by taxes placed on goods that were needed for this migration (e.g., gas, oil, tires, buses and trucks). Two industries that reaped the most from this were the automobile industry and suburban home construction.
Transportation in the United States has changed dramatically in the past few hundred years, from dirt roads, to canals, to railroads, and back to roads to again. Improvements in transportation between the years 1820 and 1860 allowed for almost all of America to be accessible which caused the US economy to explode. Transportation turned the U.S. into a flourishing economy and caused a large increase in sectionalism, industrialization, and expansion.
Leading up to 1865, the United States underwent its first Industrial Revolution. Factories began to develop and new labor techniques, such as the Lowell System, were implemented. There were significant changes to transportation and communication and new technologies began to develop. These innovations changed living and working conditions, urbanization, and overall life in the United States. Due to this, industrialization greatly impacted United States society from 1865 to 1900 through labor and political parties.
From the Gilded Age to the Progressive era industrialization modernized in every aspect. For example, constructing the transcontinental Railroads not only changed the economy, but also shifted the physical landscape. They required some towns to shift and some to move entirely to a different area. The railroads also helped America’s economy immensely. It helped with the industrial economy by requiring metal and steel to keep the railroads efficient and working. With the railroads there people also found jobs which helped with the increasing people’s social networks. According to Richard White just “the Pennsylvania railroad employed 110,000 men.”
They find no significant changes in either wages or employment for Pennsylvania counties relative to New York counties post 2008 but significant increases in employment and wages for construction, natural resource and mining industries.
Because more people had a chance to own a car, people didn’t have to live in the city. They could live farther away from the city and their jobs. Soon, people begin to build hotels, modern stores and businesses to fit the requirements of transportation. The need for modern stores and hotels was realized.
During the late 1700’s, the United States was no longer a possession of Britain, instead it was a market for industrial goods and the world’s major source for tobacco, cotton, and other agricultural products. A labor revolution started to occur in the United States throughout the early 1800’s. There was a shift from an agricultural economy to an industrial market system. After the War of 1812, the domestic marketplace changed due to the strong pressure of social and economic forces. Major innovations in transportation allowed the movement of information, people, and merchandise. Textile mills and factories became an important base for jobs, especially for women. There was also widespread economic growth during this time period
The social issues surrounding mental health; the causes; and the treatments of disorders; have always intrigued me, especially regarding our veteran service members. Being a veteran myself, I identify with the struggles and hardships that our veterans face every day. Our servicemen and women are exposed to a variety of traumas (e.g. combat, family separation, and being in a constant state of arousal) that contribute to mental illness. However, not all servicemen and women suffer from mental illness. Therefore, I am interested in identifying why these men and women who share similar exposures of combat related traumas, do not suffer from or show signs of any mental illness. Additionally,
It is a pleasure taking this class with you. I absolutely agree with your perspectives that this class provides the necessary foundation to develop and manage a behavioral health program. The Vermont Integration Profile (VIP) tool is an excellent tool for this class. Just like you stated the tool is valuable and it provides great information for behavioral health consultants, primary care providers and anyone interested in integrating care.
Prompt: In what ways did developments in transportation bring about economic and social change in the United States in the period 1820-1860?
The acropolis is influential to archietcts and sculptors of today as they see Athens as a great wonder and sets high architecture standards for today. Although it was designed and built in the 5th century the level of craftmanship is exceptionaly high given the crude tools they would have had at the time. Sadly, the affect of the Parthenon and the rest of the acropolis is diminished due to the poor treatment of its sacred buildings. The temples have been ruined due to a mixture of reasons including wars, air pollution and neglect. Architects, sculptors, archaelologists and historians can go see the Elgin marbles if they’re interested. These are a collection of classical Greek marble structures taken from the Parthenon and resculpted by Phidias,
America was truly revolutionized by the invention of the assembly line, with the Ford Motor Company able to mass produce these cars people could drive anywhere and everywhere. Fords invention also created many jobs. With higher wages and fewer hours Henry Ford basically created a middle class for the American Society. At this period of time no other company had a shorter work day. As Ford produced and sold more cars he raised the wages. The American economy began to strengthen as more work became available to the people. Roads needed paved and gas stations needed attendants. With the automobile becoming an everyday car people began to travel, the hotel industry began to boom and the market for tourism had evolved. Business owners all over America began to love Henry Ford; for his
However, industrialization in Europe oversaw the change in dynamics into how tourism could later become to be viewed as. Industrialization oversaw the universal growth in infrastructural technology that was necessitated by the need to move raw materials from the mines to the industries and back. This move led to the introduction of rail and other infrastructural
The best evidence so far for the existence of an American empire, despite denials to the contrary, is the Global Financial Crisis (GFC). The persistent removal of restrictions and oversights on the domestic financial system of the US, combined with the decisions of individual firms, other governments and foreign financial organisations, culminated in the singe largest depreciation of assets and currency valuations in history, surpassing even the Great Depression in its extents.
