What role did advertising play in transforming america into a consumer society?

History
1 answer:
Neko [114]3 years ago
6 0
During and after WWI, America experienced rapid growth due to the fact that pretty much the rest of the western civilization was demolished. American businesses were selling to Europe, and obviously earned a lot of profit. There was a lot of opportunity, and people wanted to spend their extra money on fun things. Advertisers and Marketers capitalized on that, and started a shift into more consumeristic thinking. With the advent of electricity, tons of home appliances were created and marketed, emphasizing the "buy now and pay later" approach. With all of the kitchen appliances, the era of domesticity ended, and women were free to go do other things such as have jobs or pursue fun activities.
The economy thrived, money was created out of nothing (compound interest, etc), which lead to a bubble and eventual collapse in 1929.
Hope this helps! :)

Why was the Line of Demarcation considered very unfair towards Portugal? Include in your answer the countries involved in this d
dangina [55]

The Line of Demarcation between Portugal and Spain was very unfair because Portugal got less land.

<h3>What was the line of demarcation?</h3>

This was an agreement that was signed between Spain and Portugal in order to forestall any conflict arising from either of them fighting for land in the New World.

The Line of Demarcation gave Portugal all the land to the East and gave Spain the land to the West. This was unfair to the Portuguese who ended up getting only Brazil while the Spanish got most of South America and the gold and wealth that came with it.

Prepare a dialogue including the effect in the community in the absence of good governance.​
Over [174]

Explanation:

As governance indicators have proliferated in recent years, so has their use and the controversy that surrounds them. As more and more voices are pointing out, existing indicators – many of them developed and launched in the 1990s – have a number of flaws. This is particularly disquieting at a time when governance is at the very top of the development agenda.

Many questions of crucial importance to the development community – such as issues around the relationship between governance and (inclusive) growth, or about the effectiveness of aid in different contexts – are impossible to answer with confidence as long as we do not have good enough indicators, and hence data, on governance.

The litany of problems concerning existing governance indicators has been growing:

Indicators produced by certain NGOs (e.g. the Heritage Foundation), but also by commercial risk rating agencies (such as the PRS Group), are biased towards particular types of policies, and consequently, the assessment of governance becomes mingled with the assessment of policy choices;

Many indicators rely on surveys of business people (e.g. the World Economic Forum's Executive Opinion Survey). While they have important insights into governance challenges given their interaction with government bureaucracies, the views of other stakeholders are also important and remain underrepresented, as are concerns about governance of less relevance to the business community (e.g. civil and human rights);

The other main methodology used are indicators produced by individuals or small groups of external experts – for example, the World Bank’s Country Policy and Institutional Assessment (CPIA), Bertelsmann’s Transformation Index, and the French Development Agency’s Institutional Profiles. This entails the risk that different experts ‘feed’ on each other’s ratings; and the depth to which external raters are able to explore the dimensions they are rating can vary.

How could such small countries such as Belgium England control so much of African
