THE, “The Matthew Effect,” with a verse from the New Testament text of the Gospel of Matthew:
For unto everyone that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance. But from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. ~ Matthew 25:29
In other words: Those who succeed will find even more success. Those who don’t succeed will continue not to (to an even greater extent). It’s also known as the “self-fulfilling prophecy.” This “Matthew Effect” was first coined by sociologist Robert Merton. And to illustrate the point, Gladwell uses the example of the Canadian hockey system for training young athletes. Because of the standard January 1st cut-off date for registrations, anyone with a birthday soon after this day essentially gets an extra year to practice. For this reason, most successful professional hockey players happen to be born in the months of January, February, and March. Certainly, these athletes also have talent. But they also had the advantage of extra practice and development time, merely because of the chance-like circumstances of their birth.
Answer:
The answer is A. They did not have to pay their workers.
Explanation:
In the sharecropping system, the main advantage that the land owners had was that they were able to pay their workers by giving them a share of the crop/Harvest and not in cash.
This gave a tremendous advantage for the land owners as they could save money and reinvest in other means (more lands and tangible assets), increasing their wealth significantly and the gap between the rich and poor grew as well.
While the general public was celebrating and treated the WW1 and WW2 veterans well, they were generally angry at the Vietnam veterans, mistreated them, called them names, etc.
The difference between the two was that the WW1 and 2 was viewed as saviors of the world, helping to win a battle that they didn't exactly want to fight, but were dragged in
while, the Vietnam soldiers were losing a fight that they weren't wanting to be part of. (its worse that they were fighting a war the public didn't want to be part of, and on top of that, they were losing)
hope this helps.
The correct answers are:
A) It created a need for additional natural resources to be used in manufacturing;
D) It created the need to find new markets to sell European goods;
The Industrial Revolution brought in new technologies in the manufacturing processes, and everything was done much easier and quicker, with the same or even better quality. As the industry was growing, in order to continue with the growth, it needed more natural resources, but also new markets for selling the goods and make bigger profit. In order for both of these goals to be achieved so that the industry continues to strengthen, the industrial countries started colonizing new countries, on multiple continents, where they managed to find the natural resources they needed, and also the required market for sale.
