Answer:
Transportation now completely motorized and mostly fueled by crude oil has made traveling long distances faster, it is easier to visit relatives and stay in touch with friends even if you don't live near each other. The production of oil is done by large companies and often share holders are in politics. It has helped some in political gain by certain oil companies making large donations in a presidential candidate. It is now a political issue the continued use of an unrenewable resource has and continues to cause pollution, completely been the sole reason of some ecosystems end. Second, the phone now mostly we all have mobile phones that we can carry with us every where we go. Socially this new technology keeps us closer to our family and friends by being available for conversation, questions, etc at any moment. Before you would call there number and hope you caught them at home not busy with dinner or laundry etc. Economically the mobile phone has made having a phone readily available for everyone regardless of your spending limit there's a phone out there for you and it although put some of the traditional phone companies out of business it opened up a world full of possibilities to new companies. Politically the mobile phone has been a viable source of accurate news, and trade information. Social Media has socially allowed us to connect with people we know and people around the globe with opinions on topics we personally find intriguing. It has made even the socially awkward into social butterflies as you can read posts, comment, or post your own opinion and millions can view it. It along with text messaging definitely has caused loss of jobs in the post office. Before you would write a letter, buy a stamp and send it then the receiver would get your letter within 5 or so days and the have to write you a letter buy postage and send it to you. Now there's no postage no person to person delivery system you can just press send and your text message or social media message is received instantly. This has economically brought phone companies both old and new to the forefront of our economy. Politically it has both helped and hindered some presidential candidates because even the president uses Twitter now I could continue but maybe that will help get your ideas flowing. Basically they want you to debate modern technology both pros and cons and you are definately smart enough to do that.
Answer:
New Netherland was a region that included parts of New York, Delaware, New Jersey and Connecticut. Dutch control of the New Netherland lasted only about 50 years.
They were ruled by a patroon system created by The West India Company in order to establish a prosperous trading empire. The patroon system consisted in granting huge parcels of land and feudal rights to individuals who could finance the settlement of 50 adults, this was only granted to those with connections to The West India Company and resulted in exclusive political power in the hands of a few.
The Dutch emphasized in trading posts and did not encourage the large-scale movement of their population (which undermined support for Dutch rule) only small traders were willing to seek out their fortunes along the North American shore. They gave North America less attention compared to it's other colonies and were more focused on trading than on politics.
In 1642 and the following years, English settlers arrived to western Long Island. They were well received by the Director of New Netherland (Willem Kieft). Willem Kieft gave them lands and authorized the establishment of town governments. (Mespath, Hempstead, Vlissingen and Gravesend). They were granted liberty of creating their own politics and they established them soon as their territories were granted but the next director Stuyvesant opposed to it.
While English setters were expanding he Dutch and English were battling for supremacy in shipping and trade, and fought three naval wars (1652 - 1674), Charles II promised New Netherland to his brother James, Duke of York. James sent Colonel Richard Nicolls to seize the colony. Their army arrived to Long Island in August and moved to Brooklyn enlisting support from the English towns and offered fair treatment for those who surrender.
Peter Stuyvesant was forced to surrender the colony under generous circumstances.
Conclusion:
Dutch policies focused more on trading and since their patroons were free to rule their land, when the English came and convinced them to join them granting them trade benefits and wealth the Dutch empire was left with no option than to surrender.
