"Sewage treatment" would be the best example of a natural monopoly, since it is far more efficient and beneficial for society to have a single company operate this type of business.
The popular name for the period in U.S. history from 1920 to 1933 when the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages—except for medicinal or religious purposes—were illegal.
From 1920 to 1933 the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors were illegal in the United States. The eighteenth amendment to the U.S. Constitution authorized Congress to prohibit alcoholic beverages, but the twenty-first amendment repealed this prohibition. The era of Prohibition was marked by large-scale smuggling and illegal sales of liquor, the growth of organized crime, and increased restriction on personal freedom.
The prohibition movement began in the 1820s in the wake of a revival of Protestantism that viewed the consumption of alcohol as sinful and a destructive force in society. Maine passed the first state prohibition law in 1846, and other states followed in the years before the u.s. civil war.
The prohibition party was founded in 1869, with a ban on the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquor as its only campaign goal. This party, like most temperance groups, derived its support from rural and small-town voters associated with Protestant evangelical churches. The Prohibition Party reached it zenith in 1892 when its candidate for president polled 2.2 percent of the popular vote. The party soon went into decline, and though it still exists, it works mainly at the local level.
Hope this helped!!!!
Answer:
Note that the two previous answers did not answer the question, for one was about race (not gender), and the other stated about the right to vote (in which the question asked about the discrimination <em>after</em> women were given the right to vote).
Before we answer the question, we must note that women were given their right to vote following the aftermath of World War I, during the 1920s. This allowed them to vote, but did not address any other issues, such as the women's right to work, the type of jobs they can work at, etc.
4 examples of gender discrimination can include, but is not limited to:
- <u>Discrimination of Work:</u> As most women started to move away from homes to work in factories during the two World Wars, the US relieved them to make work for returning soldiers and expected women to return to taking care of the house. However, many women wanted to continue to work, which led to a discrimination of what kind of work women were given. They typically could only hold jobs such as nurses (though not doctors or nurse practitioner), teachers (but cannot become principals), etc, etc. This was later addressed through the Equality Act, which forced employers to look at merits rather than gender. However, you must note that all genders must be able to meet the requirements for the job to obtain it.
- <u>Discrimination of Pay:</u> While women have more choices to choose from in later years due to the Women's Rights Movement, there was still much difference in the gender gap. Usually higher ranking males make more money than women who hold the same type of rank. Many sources have published that women generally get paid inbetween the lower end male jobs and higher end male jobs, which means that their pay isn't the worst, while isn't on par with male companions.
- <u>Discrimination of Education:</u> While public schools are better at bridging the two gaps, there are school where they are either all-male or all-female, in which the level of Education given to females would be different from the level given to males. Also, the type of classes generally given to males & females may differ greatly, leading to an early difference that would affect how the genders will live, as well as their future work.
- <u>Discrimination in Military</u>: While women generally can hold positions within the Military, we can see in history that many of the women hold positions such as nurses, etc. However, in today's military, the gap is less, but can still be seen.
