The economy is scarred but more superior than most countries, Universities are five-star, public transportation is finally working well, and no other country displays more of a religious and racial tolerance than Great Britain does. The past four years has brought it up and hopefully it'll stay that way, it's at it's prime. Intellectual achievements are through the roof in the UK, not only are the Universities the best in the world, but also because of this, many intellectuals and scholars have discovered and invented life changing implements and equipment. Britain's place at the lead of scientific endeavor has been uninterrupted for many centuries right up to 2013, climaxing with the innovative invention of the human genome, which guarantees to create a new breed of super humans. Britain discovered gravity and penicillin was revealed as the worlds first antibiotic, all of those individuals were from Britain; Charles Darwin, Newton,Faraday. The UK’s scientific accomplishments are equal to it's eminence to music, literature and art. Well-known artists include The Beatles who became famous over 50 years ago and are a legend known by all of the world.

    Living conditions during the gilded age were not healthy. Many people lived in tenements. Life in the tenements was trashy, and the space between each tenement was about one foot. They also did not have any type of plumbing, so all the waste would wash down to the street. Also many people would live in one small tenement. Between 1812 and 1840 the American political landscape underwent significant changes. The most important of these changes was the rise of the formal political party and the struggles for and against this perilous structure. Political parties began to grow, as they grew. Political machines in the late 1800s were corrupt in many different ways. One of the ways was influencing votes through so-called charitable acts. Another way was that they would protect certain criminals in return for monetary support. Some products during this age were unsafe products was the toxic fumes factory workers would inhale.

If so, what caused this marked departure from the past in a nation with such strong religious and moral cultural traditions? Use the documents and your knowledge of U S History to answer the question.…

    Gilded Age

    The phrase "America's Gilded Age" typically brings to mind the financial exploits and dazzling wealth of the "robber barons": Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, Morgan, Carnegie, and others. The fortunes they made have left us with lasting monuments that, in most of our minds, exemplify the era: mansions in Newport, treasure-filled libraries and museums in Manhattan. The truth however, shows a side that was anything but glamorous, and maybe that’s why no one spoke of the horrid circumstances. The Gilded Age, as Mark Twain coined it, was a society built of “a thin layer of gold over a cheap base.”…

    The Gilded Age, spanning from the 1870s to the early 1900s, was a highly negatively controversial time in American history. During this time, America saw many changes in its society which helped shaped the United States we live in today. While some positive alteration did occur in America’s civilization during the time period, The Gilded Age was also a heavily corrupted time for our country. At the time, America experienced one of the most engrossing population growths that the country has ever seen. The increase in America’s inhabitants was mainly triggered by the amount of incoming outsiders. Although immigrants did cause overpopulation and a decrease in employee wages, they also encouraged the rise of political machines, or “…party [organizations],…
