Why did European nations compete with each other to build colonies in North America

1 answer:

6 0

Because of resources. The more colonies there were, the more resources and land the nation could have for itself. Not only would you have access to natural resources such as gold or something similar, but also to other things such as animals for hunting which is something that the french colonies were famous for since they traded fur mostly. More resources equals more wealth and more wealth equals more power.

Do you think robots being used as a labor system device are good or bad (or both) for an economy? What is their proper role now

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Well i think that it would be good but it wont.

it would be good cause the jobs would be done faster but as well it wouldn't be good cause people would lose there jobs and then they dont have any place to work cause robots are taking them all. I think the jobs that they would take would be like wood cutting or car repairs and other sorts of stuff. i think it would effect the economy by people being homeless i think there would be more pollution in the world.
