Industrialization
Introduction
Industrialization after the Civil War was a noteworthy segment
in making the propelled world we live in today. The modern
transformation associated America through transportation,
prompting to less demanding correspondence. It moved how the
procedure of business approached permitting profitability to
soar. Industrialization changed how the normal individual
carried on with their existence with their family and how they
earned cash to accommodate that family. Political control was
superseded by the well off. It moved the larger part of laborers
from agrarian positions to modern ones. At last, it urbanized
American culture, with the goal that we could in the long run
turn into a super force of a country.
Discuss three (3) major aspects of industrialization between
1865 and 1920. In your response, consider society, the
economy, and politics.
One of the major aspects of industrialization between 1865 and
1920 is that the business and industrialization focused mostly
on the urban communities. There was the regular expansion of
the number of the plants which extraordinarily increased the
demand for labor. As a result of this, individuals were prompted
to move from the rural areas to the cities so that they can secure
job opportunities. In addition to this, more settlers from Europe
were attracted to the United States. As a result of the increased
mechanization and the rural urban migration, the United States

reformed from an agrarian society to an urban country which
thereby led to the drastically changed in the socioeconomics of
the nation.
The other aspect of industrialization between 1865 and 1920 is
the free enterprise financial matters. This assisted the nation to
industrialize at a great extent in that the supporters of the
Laissez-faire system came in with the proposition that the
economy should not be interfered with but it should be allowed
to operate freely as a result of the forces of the demand and the
supply. According to the supporters of the Laissez-faire system,
the government or the administration should not meddle with
the affairs of the economy and it should instead aim at securing
the property rights and concentrate on the creation of a
conducive environment for the economy to thrive in well (Rees,
2015).
The third aspect of industrialization between 1865 and 1920 is
the development of the numerous innovative progressions. In
this, industrialization assisted in the development of better
means of transport which were faster, more secure, had a large
capacity and they were also simpler to use and manage than the
previously used means of transport. In addition to this,
industrialization led to the development of the machines. These
machines greatly assisted the laborers who used to make
everything by their hands in that they could now use the newly
made machines which greatly aided in increasing their speed,
efficiency and also their level of productivity due to the modern
transformations.
Identify three (3) specific groups that were affected by
industrialization and provide two examples for each group
describing how the group was affected. (Consider issues such as
race, ethnicity, gender, child labor, etc.)
One of the groups that were affected by the industrialization is
the lower class agriculturalists or the farmers. One example of
how the farmers were affected in this is that America changed
from being an agricultural economy to an industrial economy
although the economy mostly thrived as a result of the farming

activities. This led to the lowering of the pay of the farmers.
The second example of how industrialization impacted the
farmers is that after the end of the civil war and the
commencement of the Industrial revolution, the use of the
slaves came to an end. As a result of the end of the slaves’
trade, the farmers could no longer have people to work on their
farms and they were therefore forced to work for themselves.
The second group that was affected by industrialization is
immigrants. An example of how they were affected in that they
were forced to take low wages for jobs and discriminated
whereas the American workers were usually paid higher wages.
In addition to this, some of the immigrants such as the Chinese
were usually taxed for mining the gold and this tax was usually
imposed for the foreign miners only. The third group which was
affected by the industrialization is the specialists in the centre
and the lower class. An example of how they were affected in
that the working class in general was positively impacted by the
generalization in that they were able to secure jobs and an
expansion in their businesses. The other way in which they were
affected in that they were able to achieve an extension in their
education.
Summarize how industrialization affected the life of the average
working American during this period. Use specific examples
and details.
Industrialization affected the life of the Americans who were
working at this time during this period in a number of ways.
One of these ways is that the living conditions of the people
were affected as a result of the influx of the people in the cities
where the factories were located in search for employment. This
resulted to an increase in the population and overcrowding
which made the living conditions of the people to be
uncomfortable (Ogilvie, & Cerman, 1996). The other way is that
the working Americans were now able to access less expensive
things. Due to the transportation upheaval, the cost of
production was reduced as a result of the large scale
manufacturing which translated in the reduction of the cost of

goods and services. The other thing is that the women who were
traditionally referred to as home keepers got the opportunity of
working in the production lines. Lastly, the life of the
agriculturalists was affected since they were able to learn new
ways of planting and the harvesting of the crops which was less
demanding.
In conclusion, it is clear that the industrialization played a very
crucial role in the improvement of the lives of the Americans.
As a result of the industrial revolution, changes were
experienced in the assembling, accessibility of the products and
also the planting as well as the harvesting of the crops.

Managerial Process in Business
Any given organization needs a good managerial process before
the opening day and actual operation. In the managerial process,
there are various decisions to be made to make the entire
process successful. When starting up a business, there are basic
components that must be considered for the process to be
smooth. Basic components such as employees, resources,
equipment and premises are very critical and should be
prioritized. When an organization is at its early stages, various
departments must be considered such as human resource,
finance, and government compliance, credentialing and supply
chain. It is the role of the management to ensure that all these
aspects are put into consideration because of their significance
and the outcome that they bring to the organization. All the
aspects of the managerial processes are critical, and they must
be integrated so that they can bring out a desired outcome to the
organization.
Different kinds of businesses require business premises that suit
their operations. Premises need to conform to the requirement
of the business such as space, location, cost, accessibility, and
structure. All these ensure that operations are made smooth and
effective. Before the opening day, finding and ensuring that the
business premises is suitable is very essential. All the business
requirements regarding premises need to be analyzed and their
suitability determined before the business starts to operate.
When the premises best suit the business, there would be
minimal difficulties in meeting the goals and objectives of the
business. Some of the other considerations include obtaining

suitable employees, favorable equipment, and sufficient
resources.
The direction to which the business will be heading in the future
is very crucial. The future of the business is usually viewed
regarding goals, objectives, and mission. To achieve all these,
the business needs to have an effective strategy which is
characterized by management support and strategic alignment.
The strategy of the business needs to be well linked with the
requirements of the market so that the business will remain
relevant for a significant period. The goals and objectives of the
business which is part of the strategy need to be specific,
measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound. Some of the
business strategies to be considered include delivering core
services, manage client relationship, planning and governing. A
business that is without strategy will not be able to cope up with
the requirements of the market and therefore cease to exist.
Integration of activities within the business such as information
and physical flows, support processes and other operations are
very essential. The managerial process has to consider process
architecture for efficiency and also to ensure that areas of
complexity are tackled with ease. Process architecture is
associated with fields such as business process, logistics,
policies, procedures, project management and much more. The
business has to integrate general process system to ensure that
the business is well equipped with computers which assist to
perform critical roles with ease and also save time. (Cleveland.,
2010) Currently, it is a requirement for businesses to be
equipped with computers because of the complexity in which
the business world is heading to. Computers assist in accounting
processes, data storage, research, monitoring and other vital
roles.
Measuring performance and standards of the business such as
the performance of people, projects and processes ensure that
the business is on the right track. Standards and measurements
need to be considered and implemented in the managerial
process so that goals and objectives are well attained. When the

management sets standards and ways of measuring the
achievement of goals and objectives, then the business will have
a direction and purpose. The business should have standards and
metrics which can be effectively utilized to monitor the future
progress of the business and the goals to be achieved.
(Llewellyn, 2000) It is, therefore, essential for the business to
have process performance measurements and to measure
techniques so that the business can easily determine the
direction in which it is heading to. To implement this, the
business can have measuring tools and techniques which will be
used to monitor the progress of the organization from time to
time.
For improving and operating effectively, the business has to
look into such factors as evaluation, monitoring, process
innovation and measurement. Optimizing and process
management ensures that quality, time and cost is within the
requirements of the management. The business needs to be
valued, cost analysis done, quality of products determined and
the monitoring process implemented. The business has to look
into future innovation processes, design, and analysis so that it
can remain relevant in the market. Process management ensures
that the business is monitored to determine areas of
improvement, measured to determine cost and quality and
evaluated to determine future progress.
Supply Chain Management
Business processes such as the supply chain management ought
to be considered and implemented in the managerial process to
ensure that transportation of goods, warehousing, packaging,
processing, and distribution is effective and efficient. In the
supply chain management, effective transportation means must
be used depending on the nature of products. Perishable goods
need to be transported by a faster means of transport while
those that are delicate need special care. The warehouse needs

to be equipped with the relevant machines and equipment that
will enhance the smooth flow of activities. The warehouse
should also have enough space, ventilation, minimal risk,
accurate schedule and data, good customization and effective
support. Movement of goods must have specific routes with
designated classifications so that the entire process is accurate.
(Choon Tan, 2001) Warehouses also need to be computerized
for quality monitoring and accuracy. Due to the dynamic
changes in the business world and also in warehousing,
computerization is inevitable.
While processing, the managerial process has to consider and
implement safety measures so as to safeguard consumption.
Processed goods must be safe for consumption, and therefore
processing must follow all the procedures involved. Packaging
is also crucial as part of the supply chain management. During
packaging, classification should be carried out in that specific
goods are packed together without combining with that of
another class. Uniformity in packaging ensures that goods are
well packed and can be quantified with ease. Distribution, on
the other hand, must ensure that markets are well served in that
there is no shortage in one market and surplus in the other.
Monitoring distribution helps the business to know the areas
that need more supply and avail them in time.
The supply chain also enhances the good relationship between
the business and the consumers as well as other stakeholders.
When the managerial process considers and implements an
effective supply chain management, the consumers will be
satisfied, and the business will operate well with other
stakeholders in the business. To implement all these, the
business must consider timely transportation, effective
processing and packaging, favorable warehousing and reliable
distribution.
Human Resource Management

The role that is played by people in the business is very
essential. The business needs to consider the type of employees
that it hires to ensure that they match the job description
provided. Since acquiring employees is a managerial process,
the management should outline the specifications and
requirements for the particular type of jobs, receive applications
from potential candidates, analyze the applications, carry out
interviews and select the right candidates for the job. Qualified,
experienced, competent, hardworking and innovative employees
are a great asset to the business. (Porter, 2010) It is the role of
human resource management to ensure that there is the effective
protocol of hiring candidates and that experts in the different
fields are considered so as to give insights on the suitability of
candidates. The business also has to have ways of appreciating
their employees, safeguarding their welfare, security, wellbeing
and also providing a suitable working environment. When
employees feel that their presence in the organization is
recognized by the management, they become more productive
and useful to the business.
Human resource management also involves training. The
business should identify effective ways to be used in training
especially in the areas that are ever changing and require new
skills. Technology is currently dynamic and requires employees
to obtain new skills. It is the role of management to ensure that
the knowledge and skills of employees are in line with modern
changes in the digital world. Human resource management
should also be a resource for employees by finding ways of
dealing with harassment, discrimination and even abusive
situations that employees go through. This will ensure that
employees are respected and that they co-exist harmoniously in
the working environment. The HR department needs to evaluate
employees on their performance within a given period. The
business should have a plan on how to evaluate employees so
that that can find ways through which they can promote,
compensate or terminate an employee. Performance evaluation

will assist the business in achieving the set goals and
objectives.
Financial Management
Businesses require finance for investment and to ensure that all
the requirement are put into place. The interest of stakeholders
lies on how effective finances are being managed in the
business. Financial management is very critical because it
ensures that the business regularly obtains funds and that the
funds are effectively spent on the relevant projects. (Huston,
2010) The types of costs that are associated with financial
management include labor, materials, administration and
equipment. Before the business starts, financial management
process must be considered and implemented. The business plan
is determined in the planning phase, and then funds are
allocated per importance and urgency. The significance of
financial management is to establish an effective budget that
should be used in the business. In the case of financial
shortages, the finance department considers alternative sources
of obtaining funds so that the venture can be effective and
successful. Potential sponsors and shareholders are usually
important in this area.
In financial management, the budget is usually important. In the
budgeting process, the budget is planned, it is approved, and
expense form is created, documented and later updated in line
with the business processes. The significance of financial
management ensures that all the financial staff is well informed
on how the finances will be utilized, monitoring and resolving
issues of expenses, implementing action plans that will address
issues of deviations, presenting all expenses accrued and
summarizing all the information that is related to expenses. To
implement an effective financial management, the business has
to employ qualified employees in accounting and the relevant
financial fields. The business has to also Follow-Up budgets

and the way in which funds and spent and also outlining the
roles and duties of each and every employee in the finance
department so that separation of duties is enhanced and that no
fraud can be easily carried out.
Government Compliance
Any given business has rules and regulations, and so does the
government. The government is one of the largest stakeholders
in the business world, and it provides things such as policies,
license, employment Act, business registration, Privacy Act and
tax permit. For a business to operate legally, it must comply
with specific requirements regarding the transaction of the
company, safety procedures, and labor practices. The business
must comply and implement the requirements of all the rules
and regulations provided by the government so as to operate
effectively and within the jurisdiction of the law. Some of the
aspects of compliance include virtual access, security updates,
password protection, and emergency response, risk analysis,
audits and reviews and much more. The government also
requires businesses to pay tax, pay registration fees, operate
within the law, obtain licenses, comply with the Employment
Act and imply the Privacy Act.
To implement government compliance, the business should
research all the legal requirements, interpret with the aid of a
legal practitioner and comply with them. Some of the basic
requirements that are consequential and ought not to be left out
include registration of the business, payment of taxes,
complying with the Employment Act, uphold safety measures
and obtaining a tax permit. Having a legal team is also critical
to the business so as to handle legal issues in case of any
misunderstanding or difficulties. The business should also be
conversant with the requirements of the government and check
on areas that need adjustments.
Credentialing

Sensitive fields in business need reviewing the career history
and qualifications of professions regarding training, licenses,
education and residency. Credentialing, therefore, involves the
verification of experience, interest, expertise and willingness to
perform given tasks involved in the business. Businesses are
usually established to carry out certain activities with specific
aims and objectives. It is the role of the business to ensure that
its activities are clear and well defined so that the desired goals
and objectives can be achieved. Since the business needs to
perform well in the market, the managerial process must
consider experience, willingness, expertise and interest for
excellence. To implement a successful credentialing process,
the business needs to start it early enough, develop a
sustainable process, recognize success factors that are key, and
determine the relevant steps to be applied in making
credentialing decisions so as to avoid negative outcomes. Those
professions that do not meet the requirement as per the
credentialing process should not be allowed in the business for
good image and quality of the business.
Conclusion
Despite businesses being different and belonging to different
industries, there are specific activities and requirements that
they share. The activities and the managerial process carried out
in each of the departments in business takes the same procedure
and approach. Due to this aspect, researching the critical
requirements of business will mainly focus on the unique
components that aid the establishment of the business and its
progress in the future.

Thesis Statement
The United States military has come to be recognized as the
policemen of the world and this is due to their involvement in
fighting injustice and terrorism in the world. The U.S military
has been used to fight terrorism and help unstable governments
be stable by disbanding the enemies of progress. The U.S
military has been involved in Iraq where it was in charge of
disbanding the Al-Qaeda which is a terrorism group and also
restore peace between the government of Iraq and the rebel
groups by helping the government win the civil war. In Kenya,
the United States military has used drones to kill Al-Shabab
leaders who arranged an attack at the Westgate Mall and also
arranged the attack on Garissa University College.
