As America developed, larger corporations became more impactful on the economic development of the west through processing of natural resources.

The gold rush began only amongst Californians, but in the summer of 1849, word reached other parts of the country and people from all over came to California for their shot at the big money. These quick “fortunes” made people spend recklessly, a “symptom” of the “gold rush disease” that the men mining for gold suffered from. The gold rush was the greatest mass movement of people in history, coming from not only all over America, but also from Canada, Mexico, and locations on various other…

“Heretofore there has always been in the history of the world a comparatively unoccupied land westward, into which the crowded countries of the East have poured their surplus populations”. Josiah Strong was the man who said this. And even though he was talking about other countries expanding westward, this quote can be applied to the United States during its expansion to the west.

During the early 1800s, land, in general, was of precious value to most Americans as farming was the key to success. Along with moving westward, land was seen as a new opportunity for American settlers to build a better life. The land was already occupied by Native Americans though, therefore, the American settlers pushed for the federal government to pass laws that gave them rights over the lands. Then, Indian Territory kept getting smaller and smaller due to the federal government laws that were passed, such as the Homestead Act of 1862 that gave free land to white settlers, but it was actually land from the Indian Territories. Then, the Dawes Act of 1887 was quite handy for American settlers.…

In the article, “The Mystery of Motivation,” the author Gary Drevitch, speaks of poorly thought out incentives to motivate good people in forms of cash and social rewards to do their best, but the ending result may actually cause them to be at their worst. Throughout the article, Drevitch gives examples of incentives that have backfired on: companies, schools, banks, fundraisers, hospitals, and even cash incentives or allowances at home. Although, the author gives several example of poorly thought out incentives, he does mention an incentive program that was economically successful. The first example of as bad incentive program that Drevitch speaks of is the Wells Fargo bank and credit card scam that happened in 2011.…

Section 1 Graves and Maslow Mind Sonar uses the ‘Graves drives’ to measure what someone treasures important. The highest level of Maslow’s hierarchy, ‘self-actualization’, appropriate right in with the usual views of the seventies and Maslow’s motivation theory was well-appreciated. In Graves’ opinion this model did not offer a comprehensive enough base for understanding man as a bio-psycho-social-cultural being.
