What did Thomas Edison do to help push America forward into the industrial age

History
1 answer:
Tems11 [23]3 years ago
3 0

The technological and industrial history of the United States describes the United States' emergence as one of the most technologically advanced nations in the world. The availability of land and literate labor, the absence of a landed aristocracy, the prestige of entrepreneurship, the diversity of climate and a large easily accessed upscale and literate free market all contributed to America's rapid industrialization. The availability of capital, development by the free market of navigable rivers, and coastal waterways, and the abundance of natural resources facilitated the cheap extraction of energy all contributed to America's rapid industrialization. Fast transport by the very large railroad built in the mid-19th century, and the Interstate Highway System built in the late 20th century, enlarged the markets and reduced shipping and production costs. The legal system facilitated business operations and guaranteed contracts. Cut off from Europe by the embargo and the British blockade in the War of 1812 (1807–15), entrepreneurs opened factories in the Northeast that set the stage for rapid industrialization modeled on British innovations.

From its emergence as an independent nation, the United States has encouraged science and innovation. As a result, the United States has been the birthplace of 161 of Britannica's 321 Greatest Inventions, including items such as the airplane, internet, microchip, laser, cellphone, refrigerator, email, microwave, personal computer, Liquid-crystal display and light-emitting diode technology, air conditioning, assembly line, supermarket, bar code, automated teller machine, and many more.

Using the Internet, find one image that represents the views of government of Aristotle, one image that represents the views of
krok68 [10]
I'll give you some thoughts on the political views of the thinkers named. It's up to you to search for images and write your descriptions.

Aristotle believed there were three valid types of government, depending on the size and scope of what was to be governed or upon local situations. (He studied the constitutions of various governments as part of his work in writing <em />his work, <em>Politics.</em>)  As state with a sole ruler ruling rightly is a monarchy.  If that form of state is abused, it becomes tyranny.  A state with a number of members of the ruling class is an aristocracy -- rule by the excellent ones, noble men suited for governing.  If it is corrupted by having a few rule but not of noble character or in a noble way, Aristotle referred to that as an oligarchy (rule by a few).  A state in which all worthy men participate in governing Aristotle termed a polity, a constitutional government.  He saw it as a corruption, though, to have a full democracy (rule by the people), which would become the sort of thing we call mob rule.

Aquinas picked up thoughts from Aristotle, who had favored a monarchy.  Aquinas, writing from a Christian perspective, wrote about the righteous and proper sort of ruler who would serve as God's appointed leader among the people, truly caring for them (not becoming a tyrant).

Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx were partners in establishing communism as a political ideology.  Engels and Marx believed that in time, class struggles between overlords and those beneath them would give way to a society in which all ruled and lived and worked collectively.
