Answer:

Henry has a decision to make. The disgruntled customer in front of him has a valid point. There has been a mix up on the part of Henry’s service team and things have not gone smoothly. It wasn’t the end of the world but the customer has already been inconvenienced and now the ‘fix’ is going to inconvenience him again. Henry feels that the considerations the customer is asking for are not unreasonable, but how can this be handled? How would your company handle it: using a centralized leadership model or a distributed leadership model?

Explanation:

<h3> Centralized Leadership Resolution </h3>

To make a decision, Henry has to contact his manager. The manager has to stop what she is doing, come to where the customer is, listen to the story, hear the customer’s request, determine if it’s reasonable and make a decision. Meanwhile Henry is standing there listening, waiting, and being unproductive. Only after his manager makes her decision can Henry resume his activity. Much time has passed and the customer is losing his patience and thinking about his time being wasted. If the customer is still not satisfied, he might ask to escalate his request to yet another higher level manager. His blood pressure is rising and if he’s not taken care of you can be certain that his friends and colleagues will hear about how they should stay away from Henry’s company.

Reread the text under the heading “Better Standards of Living.” Explain the relationship between price and supply, and how this

vivado [14]

Answer:

When supply goes up, and things are more accessible, price goes down. That is because demand goes down with it.

Explanation:

When supply goes up, and things are more accessible, price goes down. That is because demand goes down with it. The demand goes down because having more supply makes it easier to get and thus, not in need so much. During the industrial revolution, supply of things changed a lot. the idea of industry globally bloomed, and the world saw mass production of goods at super high rates. Because the supply of products was now much higher because of factories and mass production allowing for more stuff to be made so much faster, the demand for goods went down as there wasn't as much a need for things and thus, the price went down as well.

How does the author develop the idea that life was difficult for the new immigrants coming to live the “American Dream?” Provide

Sophie [7]

Answer:) It depends which era you are referring to. We had immigrants arrive 22,000 years ago, 12,000 years ago, 500 years ago, and ever since.

The phrase American Dream was coined in the 1930s, so technically nobody came for the “American Dream” before then. But let’s look at the earliest European immigrants, Jamestown and Plimoth. They faced harsh weather, no experience with the local soil, only one big boat to travel in, nothing to fish with at the outset, and hostile indigenous tribes. Jamestown collapsed, Plimoth just barely made it.

Then you had three hundred years of forced immigration for Africans, and there’s no shadow of a doubt that their lives were the most difficult of all.

Italians, Irish, Poles, and other Catholic and Eastern Orthodox immigrants faced harsh discrimination. Clubfoot was one of the most common childhood maladies in Boston, because of walking in winter with no shoes.

The Chinese were invited over to build the railroads, then forcibly ejected, with serious restrictions place on Asian immigrants every few decades, and of course our concentration camps for the Japanese in WW2.

Mexicans have always lived in the part of Mexico we stole from them, but the ability to cross the artificial border has been frequently adjusted, based on the political winds and the need for labor.

The one thing that makes life a bit easier now (along with general societal progress in hygiene and healthcare, etc.), is that many cultures and ethnicities have support networks in most major cities. If you are a Korean family who just arrived in Brooklyn or San Diego, there will be other Koreans willing to help you find work and housing and healthcare, etc. Plus, of course the Internet and tools such as PayPal, where you can stay in touch with your family and repatriate your earnings much more easily.

But unless you’re a Saudi prince or the child of a tycoon, an immigrant’s life is always difficult.
