<em>How did "Liberty" ships affect the workforce in Georgia?</em>

<em>The correct answer is, “They created jobs and stimulated the economy”.</em>

<em>When President Franklin Roosevelt decided to achieve British needs in WW2, Brunswick was one of the cities in Georgia in which jobs were created. There were around 16000 workers at the Brunswick shipyards working in the project from 1941 to 1945. These workers built 85 Liberty ships during that time. In Savannah, workers built around 88 ships from 1942 to 1945, many workers in this project were women and African Americans. It is believed that this shipping project took Georgia out of the depression at that time.</em>

Answer:

The liberty ships affect the workforce in George's as they decreased hourly wages and salaries in the state.

Explanation:

The liberty ships also known as victory ships, were the sequence of cannonry cargo ships that were built in the United States during the World War II. The purpose of building those ships were to satisfy the land lease act with Britain, German submarines and to maintain supply convoys with the Soviet Union.

During the time of World War II, approximately 200 ships were constructed by the state of Georgia on which the workers were hired who roughly built a ship every 9 days. In order to obtain this performance, the working hours were extended and more personnel were hired, reducing salaries so as not to exceed the expected expenses, all under the excuse of being an effort for war.

Answer:

A. Beta coefficient.

Explanation:

This is widely used in regression analysis and in most times in capital asset pricing models (CAPM). The beta coefficient is a measure of an asset's risk and return in relation to a broad market, meaning that it will show, more or less, how the asset or a portfolio of assets will respond as the market moves up or down. It is used in the capital asset pricing model and regression analysis.

It also can be the measurement of how much the value of a particular share has changed in a particular period of time, compared to the average change in the value of shares in the stocks.

Answer:

The answer is: role playing on attitudes.

Explanation:

Zimbardo's controviersial experiment, also known as the Stanford prison experiment, aimed to simulate a prison environment and study the behaviors of both prisoners and guards (that were actually randomly assigned students).

Zimbardo wanted to focus on role playing and its influence on attitudes and behavior, which is why he asigned students randomly to both roles (prisoners or guards). He aimed to see if students that were asigned to be guards started to behave in such a way, and he discovered that role playing does have a strong influence on attitudes. Guards started acting violent and authoritarian towards prisoners, and prisoners also started defying their authority and causing riots.

jok3333 [9.3K]

According to the strength of weak ties thesis, a person is more likely to find job connections through acquaintances.

Explanation:

Acquaintances are strictly work related connections a person has which are different from their family and friends in that they are formed by taking business dealings and professional life of a person in mind and then making connections.

These connections are often better suited when looking for jobs as a person can maintain more acquaintances and also they are all going to be in the similar industry as the person so they have a bigger chance of coming up with a good offer for them.
