Unit 5 lesson 4 the cold war at home
During the Cold War, fear of communism spreading to the United States led to a period known as the Red Scare. President Truman and Congress took actions to investigate and crack down on suspected communist activities and influences within the country. This included the House Un-American Activities Committee holding hearings to investigate areas of society for communist ties. Figures like Alger Hiss and Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were prosecuted for communist espionage. Senator Joseph McCarthy further exacerbated tensions by aggressively accusing many Americans of being communist sympathizers without proof, in what became known as McCarthyism. His actions were eventually discredited through televised hearings, helping to ease the Red Scare period in the United States.

The Scientific Revolution occurred between 1543-1650 and saw developments in fields like astronomy and physics. The Scientific Method using empirical proofs in experiments also emerged during this time, sometimes conflicting with Church doctrine. Famous scientists like Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo and Newton made important discoveries, with Newton creating the laws of gravitation and calculus. The Enlightenment era that followed emphasized natural law, scientific progress, deism and civic freedoms, laying the foundations for modern political and economic systems. Key thinkers during this period included Locke, Voltaire and Montesquieu. The French and American Revolutions were directly inspired by Enlightenment ideals of natural rights and separation of powers.
From 1900 to 1909

This document provides an overview of the origins of the Cold War between the United States and Soviet Union following World War II. It discusses the wartime alliance between the US, Britain, and Soviet Union which was pragmatic but lacked trust. At conferences like Tehran, Yalta, and Potsdam, the Allied leaders were unable to resolve disagreements over the post-war structure of Europe. As the Soviets exerted control over Eastern Europe, tensions rose further and the Cold War began, marked by the Iron Curtain speech in 1946 and the formation of opposing military alliances like NATO.
Ap age of the city
During the late 19th century, the United States underwent rapid urbanization and industrialization. Millions of immigrants, particularly from Europe, flocked to major cities, transforming the nation from a rural to an urban one. New York, Chicago, and other cities saw their populations boom, becoming hubs of industry and immigrant communities. However, urban living also brought problems like poverty, disease, high crime rates, and the rise of political machines that provided services in exchange for votes. At the same time, new forms of mass entertainment and culture emerged to meet the needs of urban immigrant populations and the growing middle class.
Harken US History
This document provides an overview of the key topics and standards for a US History course, covering major events and developments from the Civil War era through the 1920s. It includes summaries of industrialization and its effects after the Civil War, patterns of immigration, Gilded Age politics and society, technological innovations of the late 19th century, American imperialism, and social and political reforms in the early 20th century. The document is intended to guide a teacher in addressing the essential information students need to understand major themes and developments in US history during this time period.
Ch.12 early years of the cold war
After World War II, the United States and Soviet Union emerged as global superpowers with opposing economic and political ideologies, leading to increased tensions known as the Cold War. As the Cold War escalated, the US fought communist forces in the Korean War and a period of intense anti-communist sentiment grew domestically. Additionally, the development of nuclear weapons heightened fears and the arms race between the US and Soviet Union, posing new challenges for President Eisenhower in confronting communism abroad through brinkmanship and covert operations during the Cold War era.
Cultural theory and the age of imperialism
The document discusses several intellectual and social theories in the 19th century that helped enable and justify European imperialism, including social Darwinism, nationalism, and anti-Semitism. Key figures discussed include Karl Marx, Charles Darwin, and their influences on political and economic thought during this period. The rise of new imperialism in the late 19th century is examined, driven by economic, military, and ideological factors. Responses to imperialism, such as resistance movements, are also mentioned.
Chapter 5 - Industrialization and the Gilded Age.pptx
The document summarizes technological innovations and industrialization in the United States following the Civil War. Key developments included the Bessemer process which increased steel production, new inventions like the telephone and typewriter, and the rise of oil and electricity as energy sources. The growth of railroads connected regions and markets. Entrepreneurs like Rockefeller and Carnegie established large corporations and amassed wealth, though workers faced long hours, low pay, and unsafe conditions, leading some to organize unions. Overall industrialization transformed the US economy through technological advances and new business models.
Unit 7 notes
The document provides background information on the economic and social conditions in the United States during the 1920s that ultimately led to the Great Depression. It discusses how postwar economic adjustments, nativism, the Red Scare, labor unrest, and the Sacco and Vanzetti trial created social tensions. It also describes the economic boom of the 1920s fueled by the rise of the automobile industry, mass production, consumer credit, and the stock market. However, it notes the prosperity of the 1920s was built on unstable economic foundations, as farmers struggled, income inequality grew, and many Americans took on too much debt, setting the stage for the economic collapse of the Great Depression.

The Roaring 20s, Great Depression and New Deal
The document provides an overview of life in the United States during the 1920s period of prosperity and the Great Depression of the 1930s. It describes the economic boom and consumerism of the 1920s, known as the Jazz Age, followed by the stock market crash of 1929 and the onset of the Great Depression. President Franklin D. Roosevelt responded to the economic crisis with his New Deal programs, which provided relief, recovery, and reform through massive public works projects, social programs, and financial reforms to pull the country out of the Depression.

Ideas to Enhance Your Creativity
The document discusses principles for making ideas sticky, including simplicity, unexpectedness, concreteness, credibility, emotions, and stories. It also discusses creativity as a way of operating rather than a talent, and encourages persistent thinking to allow unconscious ideas to emerge. The document promotes play, whacks on the side of the head to stimulate creativity, and stealing ideas from others to then make your own in a process of mixing and matching to free your mind.
Starting, Growing, and Running a Business
This document provides an overview of starting, growing, and running a successful business. It discusses entrepreneurship and some of the key reasons why people become entrepreneurs, such as freedom, purpose, and the ability to combine work with other interests. It also notes that necessity is another reason, as industrialization and technology may make some workers obsolete. The document outlines important skill sets for entrepreneurs, including management, marketing, accounting, finance, and business planning.

Arbitrage and the Value of Time in Finance
Race Against the Machines! The Stock Market is no longer run by humans. It is run by matching engines in computers.

The tale of high frequency trading HFT and the building of the straight fiber link between Chicago, the Merc, and New York, NYSE, is from the first chapter of Flash Boys by Michael Lewis. I highly recommend this book and all the other books by Mr. Lewis.
The Great American Songbook Composers and Their Greatest Songs
I came to the Great American Songbook seeking freshness and novelty, but a came through a different door. The gateway to GAS was jazz. I began listening to jazz in high school and my knowledge and interest broadened and accreted over a long arc of decades.
I have a fascination with these songs and their composers and the performers and their zeitgeist. I want to share it and ignite your interest and curiosity. Look up these tunes, performers and composers on YouTube: it is your free jukebox music library of just about every tune. You can even see the original performances in the Hollywood musicals! This is an amazing time and you have access to it all at your fingertips, so grab your smartphone and earbuds!
There are few things more precious and interesting than a Golden Age. There was a Golden Age of a particular kind of music that ran from the twenties through the fifties: the golden age of popular standards; the songs that constitute The Great American Song Book. These tunes were written by dapper, creative giants like Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hart, the Gershwins, Johnny Mercer, Hoagy Charmichael, Jerome Kern, and Dorothy Fields. Urbane sophisticated talents who created a body of work that effortlessly captures that urbanity and sophistication.
They created tunes focused on the subject of romantic love and exploring all the stages and aspects of the arc of a great love affair: from the initial “walking on air” to the jaded ennui of “never again”. They were obsessed with this theme and subject. Describing, exploring, and driving deep into all its mysteries. These composers and lyricists were in love with Love.
These tunes wed lyrics and music into songs that were crafted by songwriting teams originally centered around Tin Pan Alley; The Brill Building on Broadway in Mid town Manhattan. These songwriting teams in many cases split the composing tasks along functional lines: one writing the music and on writing the lyrics. The composers were writing vehicles for others to perform and usually pitched the tunes in the context of a Broadway or Hollywood musical. They were cranking out tunes for the Hollywood and Broadway dream factories at a prodigious pace. They really worked! Cranking out so many songs, they have a tossed off, effortless quality and a guileless directness. They feel unpretentious and casual: genuine and authentic. But their craft and genius raise these songs to high art.
Many of these tunes became popular hits in their own right, lifted out of the shows and movies, and have been recorded by all the great performers. Fred Astaire debuted many of these tunes and was a favorite of the writing teams. He was known as much for his singing as his dancing! Diana Krall, Harry Connick Jr. and Michael Buble are some of the latest to pay homage to the songbook.

Inventory: Buffer or Suffer operations and supply chain management
Understanding and managing inventory is a critical strategic and operations endeavor; buffer or suffer!
Receivables and inventory are usually financed with a line of credit (revolving debt like a credit card). Managing receivables aims to making sure that all your customers pay and that they pay in a timely manner; you need that cash in the door! Managing inventories also means not letting inventories build up. You do this by monitoring sales and manufacturing activity. You want enough inventories so you can accommodate a spike in sales, but you also don’t want to risk having too much inventory that you can’t unload. This is especially important with products that have a short life cycle and can become obsolete. If not sold in a timely manner this might force you to discount them heavily and take a loss. Operations management is carefully focused on this potential problem. .
You can quickly asses how a company is doing in this regard by looking at their balance sheet and comparing Current Assets to Current Liabilities and seeing if there is a larger amount of Current Assets. Do this comparison for the last few years and you can see if there is a change in Working Capital and if it is due to a build-up of inventories.

Invent Options for Mutual Gain
This document outlines strategies for effective negotiation and mutual gain. It recommends inventing creative solutions that expand options rather than assuming a fixed pie. Negotiators should brainstorm many potential agreements before deciding, separating inventing from judging ideas. They should look for shared and differing interests between parties to craft solutions with benefits for both sides. The goal is to understand others' perspectives and make their decision to agree as easy as possible.

Ending stagnation: How to boost prosperity across Scotland
A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.What's a worker’s market?

What's a worker’s market? Job quality and labour market tightnessLabour Market Information Council | Conseil de l’information sur le marché du travail
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.一比一原版美国新罕布什尔大学(unh)毕业证学历认证真实可查
