The correct answer is: "Textile manufacturers moved jobs to countries with lower labor costs".

<u>One of the business practices that has emerged in the current  globalization scenario is the outsourcing.</u> Firms decide to transfer their manufacturing facilities to developing countries where factors of production are cheaper: labor, raw materials. Those are also countries with more permissive laws, regarding the establishment of new businesses.

With this practice, firms have been able to greatly reduce their costs of production, if compared to producing the same good in a developed country, such as the US and hence, they have become more efficient and competitive in the international markets. In the US, the tendency has consisted on transfering the manufacturing activities abroad, with the corresponding reduction in the number of domestic workers employed in those sectors.  <u>This is one of the main causes of the sharp decline in employment figures in the textile industries observed in the graph. </u>

qaws [65]
<span>In the 12th and 13th centuries, Japan developed into an aristocratic and imperialist society. This is the time when Japan (called Edo before), had its samurais. Samurais were related with middle and upper ranks of warriors trained to become officers with unique techniques and strategies when it comes to fighting (later known as bushido martial art). They were in service of their clans or their lords. Zen Buddhism was also the religion of these trained soldiers which furthered their work ethics and their principles of death and killing.</span>

McCarthy noted that “we are engaged in a final, all out battle.” How did he characterize
sp2606 [1]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

McCarthy noted that “we are engaged in a final, all-out battle.” How did he characterize the two sides in the “battle”?

What Republican Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy did was to confront the American People by accusing that several members of the federal government and the US military had ties with Communists or were Communists.

Why do you think he portrayed the Cold War in this manner?

I think he was a cruel person with peculiar political ambitions because he did accuse people but never present a valid or serious argument or piece of evidence to support his claims. He only accused people, affecting their public image and reputation. And that was so wrong. However, he scared and alienated many citizens and made the federal government investigate the alleged cases.
