Which economic activity has largely driven development of modern Southeast Asian cities?
guapka [62]

Answer:

Vietnam - consists of primarily low=wage and low-skilled jobs

Singapore - has become a leading financial center

Malaysia - the world's leading producers of semiconductors

Explanation:

Southeast Asia is a very interesting region from every perspective, including the economy. Some nations are still oriented mostly toward agriculture, some depend on oil sales, some are financial centers. All in all, all of the nations in the region have seen significant development in the past couple of decades. Vietnam is still a country where the wages are low, and the majority of the labor force is low skilled, but the country still manages to have quick economic growth, mostly because of the foreign investments. Malaysia's economy is mostly consisted of two totally opposite economic sectors, one is the agriculture, and the other is the high-tech industry, both of which bring in a lot of income for the country. Singapore is a city-state. But despite its size, it has become an economic giant. The country is located in an excellent position, and its economy is mostly based around high-tech equipment, innovations, banking.

Evaluate the effectiveness of Progressive Era reformers and the federal government in bringing about reform at the national leve
maria [59]

Answer:

Progressive Era between 1890s and 1920s in the US history is the era of social activism and political reforms in national level, by the Federal Government across United States.

This era recorded many successes, but it was with limitations.

Explanation:

The malaise of corruption in government triggered this era in US.

The main objective of the Progressive movement was eliminating corruption in government. By so doing, direct democracy would be established.

Also it is means for regulation monopolies and corporations through antitrust laws.

These antitrust laws were seen as a way to promote equal competition.

Succesess-

The movement brought about constitutional change

Banned the manufacturing, sale, and transport of alcohol.

Women were given the right to vote.

Efficiency in movement in every sector that could identify old ways that needed modernizing, and that could bring to bear scientific, medical, and engineering solutions.

Most of its themes are still important parts of industrial engineering and management today. These include analysis, synthesis, logic, rationality, empiricism, work ethic, efficiency and elimination of waste, and standardization of best practices.

Many activists joined efforts to reform local government, public education, medicine, finance, insurance, industry, railroads, churches, and many other areas. Progressives transformed, professionalized, and made “scientific” the social sciences, especially history, economics, and political science. In academic fields, the day of the amateur author gave way to the research professor who published in the new scholarly journals and presses.

Initially the movement operated chiefly at local levels; later, it expanded to state and national levels. Progressives drew support from the middle class, and supporters included many lawyers, teachers, physicians, ministers, and business people. Some Progressives strongly supported scientific methods as applied to economics, government, industry, finance, medicine, schooling, theology, education, and even the family.

They closely followed advances underway at the time in western Europe and adopted numerous policies, such as a major transformation of the banking system through the creation of the Federal Reserve System in 1913. Reformers felt that old-fashioned ways meant waste and inefficiency, and they eagerly sought out the “one best system.”

The limitations were the difficulty they encountered in changing the giant old systems. Most of the progressive team came under criticism between 1990 and 1920. Many of their resolutions were scrapped.
