History

Marina86 [1]3 years ago

The United States covered a large part of land from East to West. Traditionally, even town had their own time, determined by a sundial at noon.

However, this became problematic as noon in one city could be very difficult from a noon in another city. As the railroads expanded it was deemed impossible to run the operations with every town, station and city having a separate time.

It was also dangerous as different times could result in collisions.

Eventually, the Railroads came up with an idea to divide Mainland United State into four different time zones so that it was easier to manage.

This eventually helped to develop the official time zones in the country.

In the context of the psychology of emotion, William James and John Dewey would be most interested in:
Juli2301 [7.4K]

The correct answer is: William James and John Dewey would be most interested in how behavior aids one´s adaptation to the environment.

Both <em>William James </em>and <em>John Dewey</em>, are phycologists associated with what is known as <em>Functionalism</em>. This method is heavily influenced by Darwin's ideas about adaptation to the environment. Over time we have been able to observe significant changes in the physical and behavioral aspects of human beings. These changes in behavior and in life style show us the capacity of adaptation of humans. Humans frequently adapt to the place they live in, this means that their body parts, the functions these body parts perform, as well as their behavior give human more survival and reproductive possibilities. If Darwin was correct, there is variation or differences in adaptation resulting in natural selection.

Behavior can change, also, due to psychological states such as beliefs or values. Universal structures in behavior are adjusted by experience and culture. The biological characteristics of men have changed from the ones of primitive men, which dedicated their life to hunting and fishing. Now days we have other priorities and we behave according to them, or to satisfy them.

What did the passage of the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act bring about?
fiasKO [112]
These brought about the time known as Prohibition. Liquor was illegal. A subculture would grow out it. The rise of speakeasies, moonshiners, rum runners, and the mob. The time of the gangster would evolve as they would use the illegal businesses to funnel cash and make themselves rich. Men like Babyface, Al Capone, and John Dillenger would rise to both fame and infamy.
