The correct answers are 3 and 4. The Panama Canal, built in 1914, has managed to reduce maritime communication in time and distance, boosting commercial and economic exchange by providing a short and relatively cheap transit route between the two oceans, decisively influencing global trade patterns.

Before its construction, the ways to move people or goods between New York and San Francisco were traveling overland across North America, as at that time the airplanes had not been developed to cover such long distances, or by sailing for more than a month all the way around South America to the Beagle Channel.

The most significant reality about congressional decisions is that officeholders usually win. Not exclusively accomplish more than 90 percent of the occupants looking for re-appointment to the Representatives house win; however, the vast majority of them earn over 60% of total votes.

Phantasy [73]

That was because companies started outsourcing businesses because it was cheaper to have a factory in Asia or South America, and just produce there and bring the goods back home than to pay US workers. The people affected were people who worked in the business as manufacturers and physical laborers. The economy shifted to services like tourism or telecommunication services. The benefits were that a new workforce was created and that people started developing the society more. A bad thing is that a lot of people lost their jobs and weren't trained to become a part of this new workforce.
