1. The man in the cartoon as <span>a baby, teenager, young adult, adult, and elderly man is Uncle Sam. The cartoon refers to the United States of America and its government and how it changed throughout the years. You can deduce who this is by looking at the clothes these people are wearing - red, white, and blue, the same colors as the American national flag.
2. The man represents America, as I said, and its expansionist ideology which started as soon as it got its independence from Britain. America fought for a long time for its freedom from its 'mother' and oppressor, and ever since it got what it wanted, it never stopped growing.
3. I believe the message of the cartoon is that America became corrupted over the years while it was looking to expand its territory. It started off as an innocent child, and ended up being a fat capitalist who only thinks about profit. The artist is showing this decline of values in America.
4. The result is that ironically, while America grew bigger and stronger, it also grew more unemotional and corrupt. You can see the final man's facial expression - he looks fat, content, and evil, having conquered everything that could be conquered and taken it for himself.
5. I would say the artist is definitely opposed to imperialism. Just by taking a look at the progression of these people, from an innocent baby, to a not-so innocent child, to a Napoleonic-looking USA, to the great Lincoln, and finally to a fat, cruel capitalist, you can see that the author believes imperialism and America's expansionist nature led it downwards in regards to values, not money.</span>
Explanation:
The northwest ordinance basically set up a system of government for the Northwest territories (Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Wisconsin), and stated the requirements needed for land to become a state.
It would be a "traditional" type of economic system that relies primarily on hunting gathering herding and farming to maintain self sufficiency, since this was how humans sustained life for many years before the modern era.
The name of the book written by John Naisbitt that looked at the changes occurring in both society and the economy of the 1980s was "<span>b. Megatrends: Ten New Directions Transforming Our Lives," since advocated for a largely radical policy. </span>
