Urbanization is changing the way people live and work in America. With higher population density, residents are creating economies of scale that allow greater access to goods from around the world at competitive prices. All the cities of the Eastern United States are linked via trade routes to the Old World and beyond, introducing items ranging from spices and food to luxury goods. The American trade industry is booming so much so that this nation's raw materials are in demand all over the world. New immigrants to American cities can participate in the exiting endeavors of world trade, working on docks loading and unloading cargo or helping ship raw materials from mines and factories to the ships that will take them overseas.
The American housing industry needs laborers to build and help move large tracts of lumber across many miles of land. Similarly, giant steel companies are hiring as many laborers as possible to work the mills and transport steel beams across miles and miles of tricky terrain. Americans work hard and often in trying conditions, but all citizens experience the rewards of living in a land filled with freedom and opportunity. The nation is being built by hand, by the toughest, most reliable, and strongest hands in the world. Immigrants from all over the globe: from China, Ireland, Italy, and Poland are welcome here to participate and to prosper. Ethnic communities help new immigrants transition to their new surroundings while still being able to enjoy some of the comforts of home such as houses of worship and food items. American...
More jobs exist than America can fill, which is why new immigration is needed to stimulate the economy and foster growth. New residents can look forward to agreeable places to live in a country bustling with economic enterprise. Americans know few limits. The nation was founded by groups of settlers with high hopes and ambitions. The age of industry and urbanization reflects the fruits of our ancestors' labor. Great stretches of uninhabited land call out for development. Cities are growing like moss, bringing Americans closer together and closer to the world. Unlike many nations in the world, the United States is founded on the principle of equality. No one needs to be born of aristocratic blood to succeed. Prosperity is a birthright in America.

Railroad Policy Analysis The national railroad system has been a tremendous asset to this country since its debut. Without the iron horse, our country would not have developed the means for transporting large quantities of goods from coast to coast. The changing of time has created many technological changes for the rail industry, but to a great extent these changes have been slow to be implemented. Additionally, the nation has undergone
Lastly the development of the railroad as a collective source of the growth of tourism, reshaped the lands surrounding New York city and allowed city and rural dwellers alike to interact and spend leisure time visiting places in the state they had not seen before. The real initial development of tourism, and especially national tourism could easily be linked to the development of the railroads. This industry being almost a
Social, Economic and Political Results From Railroad Development in the United States In the span of about fifty years in the middle of the 19th Century, the United States changed from a vast country separated by wide, empty spaces to a country connected by railroads. In the process, the railroads affected the social and economic development of the country and had major effects on some of the most important political events
It also set up a conflict between labour and capital, a variation of the old conflict between peasants and nobility. Because it was based on a competitive "free" market, capitalism inherently sought labour-saving and time-saving devices by which it might increase efficiency and productivity. In other words, manufacturing and production processes were sped up through specialisation (division), automation, mechanisation, routinisation, and other alienating forms of production in which the
Origins of the Modern World The old biological regime describes the way people made their livelihoods and achieved their status through their interactions with the land. In the 1400s, the global population was about 350 million people, 80% of whom were peasants. Consider that that figure represents about six percent of the current global population of about 6 billion people. In the years between 1400 and 1800, the population doubled, reaching
