Answer:

In the 1920s more people invested in the stock market than ever before. Stock prices rose so fast that at the end of the decade, some people became rich overnight by buying and selling stocks. People could buy stocks on margin which was like installment buying. People could buy stocks for only a 10% down payment! The buyer would hold the stock until the price rose and then sell it for a profit. As long as the stock prices kept going up, the system worked. However, during 1928 and 1929, the prices of many stocks went up faster than the value of the companies the stocks represented. Some experts warned that the bull market would end.

Buying on credit was a huge problem in the 1920s. Since the 20s was a period of great economic boom, not many people took the future into consideration. Many people bought refrigerators, cars, etc. with money that they did not have. This system was called installment buying. With this system, people could make a monthly, weekly, or yearly payment on an item that they wanted or needed. This happened until Black Tuesday, when the stock market crashed. The two systems, installment buying and buying on credit, left millions of people in debt . When many lost their jobs, they could not pay back the debts they had incurred.

Buying stock on margin is when you buy it without paying the full price. A individual who buys on margin pays a small percentage of the stock's price and borrows the rest of the money. The individual hopes that the stock price will rise, helping them to pay off the loan.

People were able to pay inflated rates for stocks because they were buying on the margin and were overconfident about the stocks' prospects. The bubble finally burst, and stock prices plummeted. As stock prices plummeted, anyone who had borrowed to buy on margin was in deep trouble. They went bankrupt after they were unable to repay their loans. Banks struggled as a result of the failure of too many people to repay their loans. Much of this led to the Great Depression.

In what order does a dynasty gain and lose power in the Mandate of Heaven?

goblinko [34]

The Mandate of Heaven is a Chinese political and religious doctrine to justify the rule of the King or Emperor of China. According to this belief, <em>Heaven</em> bestows a mandate on the ruler of China. However, if he was overthrown, or if natural disasters occurred, this was considered an indication that the ruler had lost the mandate. Therefore, civilian rebellions were accepted as part of the cycle. The cycle had the following pattern:

A New Dynasty Rises
A New Dynasty Rules
Mandate of Heaven Lost by the Dynasty
The Dynasty Grows Weak
Period of Violence Follows

According to Chinese citizens, a new dynasty would rise and become powerful. This would lead them to rule as long as they received the mandate of heaven. However, if heaven was displeased with the ruler, the dynasty would lose its mandate. As a consequence, China would experience natural disasters, rebellions and the weakening of the dynasty. A period of violence and rebellion on the part of the citizens would follow, until a different dynasty arose from the chaos and became the ruling dynasty and the cycle continued.

What do you think is the best strategy for achieving social change?

Effectus [21]

By not being a social activist. Forcibly pushing an agenda to "change" the views of the people always results in discrimination, hate, and violence. The best way to achieve social change is on a personal level. Forget what is going on the world around you because you cannot change the views of the people around you, you can only change your own views. If you act as an tolerable individual, as a good person, and as a person who believes in treating people as human beings, you will create more of a positive effect than these so called "peaceful" protestors who think it is okay to shut down businesses, institutions, and parades in order to make a point.
