the North and the South. The North’s economy, beginning around 1800, was marked by increasing reliance on industrialism, transportation, and diversification. The South’s economy was almost solely dependent upon the production of cotton, only made profitable by the Cotton Gin and slave labor. By 1860, the North had more railroad track, canals, manufacturing and population than the South. The idea that cotton was the basis for the whole of the American economy was an illusion. When sectionalism…

industries with international tourism accounting for 9% of the total GDP and one in every eleven jobs are related to tourism (Meleddu, Pulina, 106, 67). However, tourism by itself leads to various negative externalities on the environment, socio-economy, and local culture (Meleddu, Pulina, 106, 67). For this reason, ecotourism is important and is slowly gaining momentum. Ecotourism can be subdivided or classified into various categories such as sustainable tourism, scientific tourism, nature…

the web of ideas, commerce, and culture linking the deserts of the Australian outback with the acreages of the American South, the forests of India with the cobblestones of German villages. This globalism defines the modern world and transforms economies, governments, and the private lives they shape. However, globalism was not born with the creation of the World Wide Web, vast networks of public transportation, or even Alexander Graham Bell’s telephone. The advent of globalism and its political…

Bradford and Equiano have narratives with differing tone, audience, and purpose. However, both narratives align in experiences and values. Horrific circumstances and the value of human life are expressed in Bradford’s "of Plymouth Plantation" and Equiano’s "An Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano.” First, both narrators endure horrific circumstances in essentially the same situations. The ships are stricken with sickness and conditions, whether it be nature or people causing it.…

My interest in economics was developed since I was a child. I was given birth in a “financial family”; my parents’ works were all related to economics. Therefore, since I was young, I had the opportunity to observe and understand the financial work. In middle school, when my parents discussed economic events, I did not feel bored. To the contrary, I listened carefully and even made efforts to express personal opinions. Undoubtedly, sometimes my opinions were infantile and funny. However, my…

The present thesis, is aimed to analyze the social behavior of transnational corporations during the economic crisis of late 2000s. While the growth of world´s GDP was negative in 2009 (-2.1%) and many corporations experienced cuts in employment, limited access to credit, and reductions in capital and technological spending (Campello et al., 2010: 1), the social investment of many firms followed a counter-intuitive move by increasing their social contributions in more than 228%. Between 2004…

potentially dismantle the operating environment which these enterprises function within. These issues that we learn about, and the company profiles that were presented gave us an insight into some of the biggest macro challenges present in the world’s economy. These conglomerates are potentially disastrous macro-economic structures who have attained a status where it is necessary to be educated about them and understand how a seemingly unrelated event may have a profound impact on another.…

Response paper # 2 GEOG 473 SPRING 2016 Chad (Jong H) Lee I have never heard the term “Blockadia” before, but after reading her book, it makes sense to me now where the term came from. In my understanding, the term originally started by activists in fighting the Keystone XL pipeline in Texas, and people tried to stop it with their bodies, and their camp was called “Blockadia.” However, Klein mentioned that Blockadia is really the transnational space, roving space, where just regular people…
