How did the rise of industry and "big business" reshape the focus of american society in regards to consumerism and labor?

History
1 answer:
Natalija [7]3 years ago
3 0
Thanks to the big business development and advertising achievement the American society focused on consumerism a lot more. Advertising started creating need for things that weren't really all that necessary but people started buying them more and more. Since the US was a manufacturing powerhouse after World War 2, they made more and more and exported it but still they made a lot so it had to be sold and everyone started buying everything. The value system became somewhat of a hoarding one with you being better positioned in a society based on how many things you have.

When it comes to labor, the mass manufacturing led to longer work hours and to new developments. People in unions started fighting for their rights like higher paychecks or better working conditions. Manufacturing was often dangerous because the factories were not as safe, so new legislature had to be implemented so as to keep the workers satisfied.

how modern globalization is the result of a process of specialization and trade that began at least 8,000 years ago.
kirza4 [7]
Well, people started specializing in things and if they couldn't get something because they didn't know how to make it, they would trade for it. Fast forward 8000 years, companies like Coca Cola make coke and fanta and others can't make it because they're specialized for it. They trade for it with the entire world and other companies make things that Coca Cola owners buy.

What contributions did these two pharaohs make in the categories listed in the chart?
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

The most powerful person in ancient Egypt was the pharaoh. The pharaoh was the political and religious leader of the Egyptian people, holding the titles: 'Lord of the Two Lands' and 'High Priest of Every Temple'. He owned all of the land, made laws, collected taxes, and defended Egypt against foreigners. The pharaohs of the New Kingdom used their wealth to build massive temples to the gods. The city of Thebes continued to be the cultural center of the empire. The Temple of Luxor was built at Thebes and grand additions were made to the Temple of Karnak. The unity and strength which characterized the 18th and 19th Dynasties steadily was lost during the 20th. The New Kingdom ended when the priests of Amun grew strong enough to assert their power at Thebes and divide the country between their rule and the pharaoh's at the city of Per-Ramesses.
