Kipish [7]3 years ago

Just days before the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed, ending the Mexican-American War, gold was discovered in California which now belonged to the United States. In January 1848, gold was discovered while James Wilson Marshall was constructing a sawmill along the American River northeast of present-day Sacramento. His discovery was reported in the local newspaper, but no one believed him until they laid their eyes on a jar of gold itself (Library). After the word started to spread east, people sold everything in order to make the journey to the land of gold out west. "I have left those that I love as my own life behind and risked everything and endured many hardships to get here. I want to make enough to live easier and do some good with, before I return" (Library). Mr. Shufelt himself left his entire family behind to pursue riches and create a better life for the ones he loved. The California Gold Rush sparked a movement west, which only further ignited manifest destiny. People saw the opportunity to stake a claim of their own and truly pursue the "American Dream" out west. This new discovery and the abundance of wealth to be had further solidified support of Polk’s decision to move westward. The Gold Rush further encouraged the Union to admit California as the 31st state and attracted around 300,000 people to move to the new state.
The California Gold Rush provided a renewed passion to the idea of Manifest Destiny. The Gold Rush attracted thousands of people from around the country, and around the world, to make the journey west. The Rush offered people the dream of moving west, staking a claim on your own land, and finding gold. This dream became reality for some, who followed the route west and created a new life through Manifest Destiny.

10 Select the correct answer. George works in a factory and is a member of the labor union. He thinks his wages are low for the
ad-work [718]

The correct answer is C. collective bargaining

Explanation

Collective bargaining is a way of reaching an agreement within a group of people. Collective bargaining is generally used to establish in common agreement a position of a community to present its opinion in a specific situation, also, these groups usually have a representative who collects the opinion of all the members and expresses it in front of the counterpart to negotiate for all its represented. In the case of the question, the way of bargaining of the union of the company to which George belongs was collective bargaining, because George expressed his opinion to the union representative by saying that "George works in a factory and is a member of the labor union. He thinks his wages are low for the work that he does, so he tells the union representative that his employer should increase his wages". Likewise, his colleagues did so asking for a salary increase when the author states that, "The representative asks the other workers if they feel the same, and they all agree" and then the representative negotiated it with the employer who finally acceded to his request "The following week, the union representative met with the factory owner regarding an increase in wages, and the employer agreed to it". Therefore, the correct answer is C. Collective Bargaining.
