    The loss of jobs, whether to outsourcing or inventions, has been a re-occurring issue in America since the early 1900’s. In the 1900’s, most Americans worked on farms. The farmers thought that the invention of machinery was going to end the need of farming when actually it was just the opposite. Machinery created the need for many new and highly skilled blue-collared professions. Then when manufacturing went overseas because it was cheaper to manufacture products outside of America, our economy stabilized, we created more productivity of these products and more highly skilled white-collared service jobs.…

    Ever since the United States established itself as a nation, foreign policy has been key to the well being of its economy and citizens. But, yet some argue that foreign policy has lost its importance in the minds of politicians leading the nation over time.

    During the 1970’s, America and many other Western nations endured a severe oil shortage, due to an embargo set by the Middle Eastern nations.

Other events took place before the Arab countries united and created the embargo. Those prior events made it easier for the want of an embargo, and allowed the Middle Eastern countries a chance for revenge against the Western nations.…
