The industrialists of the late nineteenth century and early twentieth centuries are best characterized as Robber Barons. I believe the majority of industrialists of this time period are Robber Barons because out of all the industrialists I’ve researched very few were Captains of Industry. For example some industrialists of this time that I researched were Andrew Carnegie, Jay Gould, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and John D. Rockefeller. Out these four industrialists the only one that is a Captain of Industry in my opinion is Andrew Carnegie. Carnegie proved that he was a Captain of Industry in many ways by building the largest steel industry of his time, donating his fortune to fund libraries, and by founding and constructing many buildings; including the Carnegie hall in New York City. He also created a pension fund for thousands of employees, which gave them financial freedom. The difference between Carnegie and all the other industrialists was he wasn’t just concerned about investing all his wealth in himself, he showed how much of a philanthropist he truly was in many ways. All of the other industrialists that include Gould, Vanderbilt, and Rockefeller were some of the most crooked and corrupt industrialists of their time. These men were considered Robber Barons in many ways, Gould formed is reputation by performing many illegal actions in his railroad business such as bribing public officials and watering stock. He also used Monopolies as his business strategy in his railroad business to make him rich. Vanderbilt and Rockefeller were both similar to Gould in that they use monopolies to earn their fortunes. Vanderbilt built one of the largest and most successful railroad companies and Rockefeller was the first U.S. billionaire through his Standard Oil Company. All 3 of these industrialists used illegal actions and crooked business strategies to earn their fortunes and make this…

The United States of America was founded on July 4, 1776 and has fought three wars before the Spanish-American War. The United States has fought numerous times for different reasons. The States fought Britain for their independence in 1776, and then in 1812 they fought Britain because American ships were being taken prisoner by the British for no apparent reason. America stood up against the British and let them know that was going to push America around. America also fought against itself trying to preserve the nation and keep The United States as one and from not separating. The United States of America unified again in 1865 becoming one with unified ideas. In 1898 the United States fought a new enemy…

Yes I do believe that the military will be excepting of a culture changes. The culture of the military is forever going to be changing. It may not be as great as desegregation, woman’s rights, or as great as the LGBT movement. The world is changing and if you do not change with it you fall behind. I think the military is more open to change now than it was back in war ll. I do believe the military we able to handle the culture changes that it counters in the present and future. Because of what we've learned with in our own country. This will benefit us when learning other cultures around the world. We have never fight a war in our own country. So we should be open to new cultures if we are going to be in other countries. So times I think that the United States thinks it’s the only country in the world and that other people do not matter. Life outside the states if very different and uncommon to us. If we do not know their culture then how are we to understand who they are, what they believe in and why are they are fighting. This will help the goal of the military if the soldiers are well educated in the culture that they are fighting against. In many of the videos we watched in class a number of times the soldiers were talking to the local people. This is where I think educating the soldiers really…
Whites. Whites run the U.S. . “In the U.S., in the year of 2014, 77.4% of the population were whites, and only 1.2% are American Indian”[1]. This used to be switched. In early America the land was run by Indians. In fact, Indians were the only people who inhabited America. The whites were the ones who sailed to America and imposed on their land. Before the whites inhabited America; the land was run by many tribes. One of the most known tribes were the Shawnee. The Shawnee were a peaceful tribe until the 18th and 19th century, or the years of 1701- 1900. During these years the whites imposed the most on the Shawnee tribe and changed everything. Before the Settlers, the Shawnee were people of travel and had a set culture. Before and after the…
America’s expansion into a country that is looked at at a global stage is largely due to the way Americans do business internationally. Huge corporations are expanding into other countries so that they can produce their goods locally and make massive amounts of money off of it. Some of these companies include Coca-Cola, McDonalds, and Lays. For example, Lay’s the smallest of these companies, is looking to expand into many countries to make a profit. Al Bru of Frito-Lay North America demonstrates this mentality when he said “Every time I hear about China, I think for the next hundred years we can have double-digit growth” (Jennings, 101). These kinds of decisions end up “Americanizing” businesses and they in turn expand their profits which drives them to expand even more. These businesses are clever and generally sell the same exact thing as they do everywhere else, but each different place has its own local twist to it (Week 13 Blog).…

United States imperialism is the practice employed by its government and people to expand and maintain control and influences of other nations. The triggers of imperialism are national superiority, economic benefits and military strength. “There's a debate going on in Washington about whether the United States has become an imperialist power since the cold war ended little more than a decade ago” (Holt). The ending of the cold war signifies a turning point for many but According to Holts this is a pointless debate “The United States has been imperialist since the days of Thomas Jefferson”. The way people see and experience imperialism has changed since its inception, but one thing is clear, the United States of America has always been an imperialistic…
Cultural imperialism is the practice of promoting, distinguishing, separating, and artificially injecting the culture or language of one nation in another. It is usually the case that the former is a large, economically or militarily powerful nation and the latter is a smaller, less affluent nation. Cultural imperialism can take the form of an active, formal policy or a general attitude. Cultural imperialism is a form of cultural influence distinguished from other forms by the use of force, such as military or economic force. Cultural influence is a process that goes on at all times between all cultures that have contact with each other. Cultural Imperialism is also very different from other imperialistic ways, in the sense that no military or economic intervention is needed to be able to influence countries. What one also needs to take into consideration is that culture is not static. Webster's Third New International Dictionary defines culture as the "total pattern of human behavior and its products embodied in speech, action, and artifacts and dependent upon man's capacity for learning and transmitting knowledge to succeeding generations."1This is just a brief Overview of American imperialism and what will be discussed.…
For many years now America has been seen as a melting pot. There are hundreds of immigrants coming every year from all over the world in search for something better. With them they bring their languages, traditions, music, and food but most importantly they bring their cultures and backgrounds that they can share with us. But does the multiplicity of cultures in the U.S (in LA) affect who we are today.…
