Consistently several thousands understudies are coming out from school and University. Despite the fact that it is one of the significant duty of the Government to give occupation to those youthful age yet the Government is neglected to fulfill the activity need among the huge populace. Just a small division of all out jobless in oversaw by various government official and private association yet a dominant part remain unemployment.Historically for quite a while British organization was the fundamental driver of this issue. In the wake of consummation Mughol system when the British came in sub mainland (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh)They began to work together ,They abused the sub-landmass. They didn't build up any industry which is useful to expel joblessness issue. In spite of the fact that some Industry was made yet all them were set in Indian Territory. So Bangladesh area was ignored from the British time frame. Subsequent to completion British principle in 1947 Pakistan received a similar standard they build up a wide range of Industry in west Pakistan not in East Pakistan .because of Pakistani imposing business model guideline we saw the opportunity battling war in 1971. Following multi month nonstop war it is separated and named East Pakistan as a Bangladesh. After 1971 Bangladesh has been confronting political emergency severely. Thus no legislature can not make long haul monstrous move to evacuate the joblessness issue. Inside 41 years Bangladesh has understanding around eight new government and two death Incident at the top level nation pioneer. So now political emergency is one of the significant reasons for joblessness issues. Among other two significant gatherings BNP and Aowamileague are occupied to increase just political power.None of these gatherings are attempting to successfully take care of the country’s serious issues Unemployment issues. Numerous Asian creating nations are the brilliant model on the planet who is fruitful to expel the joblessness issue effectively. Korea, Malaysia, Singapore are the updates on them, They are developing quickly in light of the fact that there is no political emergency, Government guaranteed the outside Investor about political mollusk condition. Such a large number of American, European and Japanese organization are contributing those districts suddenly. Therefore they are growing quick. Bangladesh Government and political pioneer should scoff from those Asian countries.Recent demeanor and exercises of ideological groups are scornful to the average folks. By political race in the event that a gathering goes to control, at that point another gathering can't acknowledge tha t, they don't go to parliament they don't communicate productive sentiment in the parliament which is useful for average folks . However, they ought not do it. May be there is some segregation of the political race result however there are generally speaking approval for the everyday citizens. To consider more noteworthy government assistance of the nation they should keep understanding, they should bolster the legislature to make long haul move to evacuate joblessness problems.If we watch towards Japan, Korea, Malaysia what we will see? Because of industrialization they have changed a great deal. Without industrialization no country can anticipate solid monetary storm cellar and arrangement of joblessness issues. Political settlement the first and gauge thing for Bangladesh is, to develop industry to expel the joblessness issue. On the off chance that they can guarantee the political mollusk and stable circumstance, at that point outsider will to come contribute fabricating part to construct new industry. In this regard transportation, Road and Highway, Electricity ought to be remade unequivocally in any case everything will be failed.Specially Automobile and Electronics industry are the significant things to strengthen a country’s generally speaking monetary condition. A large portion of cash is spent in this two division. Part of populace can be utilized in these industry. Since by encompassing a car or gadgets industry hundreds supporting some industry will be develop. As result many individuals will be utilized. In this regard the Government ought to embrace a solid and exacting arrangement about trade-in vehicle setting up car industry they should boycott import of all trade-in vehicle. Utilized vehicle is import is wrecking the earth and business opportunity.To heighten the general industrialization our Ambassadors who are utilized in various nations extraordinarily Japan, Korea,Malaysia and Singapora can assist the administration with adopting s olid powerful ,dynamic fruitful police. Since are notable with those nations condition. Government and individuals they have handy and master felling about the advancement strategy in various division of the separate nation. We have just burnt through a great deal of time. We don’t need to live as the most unfortunate and ignored country on the planet. We need our monetary development ,our respect. We have a great deal of workforce part of cash in the bank.But because of appropriate use and legitimate arranging we are remaining toward the rear. In such manner political pioneer, Intellectual industrialist, organizer Ambassador, Teacher, Student and moved age in abroad ought to contribute accomplish the financial advancement. On the off chance that we can find a way to get our financial development, at that point we can expel our joblessness issue. God says on the off chance that you need to cherish me attempt to adore individuals first. In the event that you have confidence in God you need to adore individuals. Ask yourself agreeing your capacity a duty what amount has you done to support nation? 80% the individuals are living in rural.After a long battle a town guardians teach his youngsters helped them to adult. They help them to pick up school and University degree. Rest obligation is yours that is Government. Indeed it is Government obligation to give employment to our young age. It is central obligation of a legislature to take care of the issue of Unemployment. Objective The rice of joblessness, as has been accounted for to be case in Bangladesh under an ongoing report that was set up by the arranging commission for discovering the advancement made by the nation under the thousand years Development objectives (MDGs) program of the United Nation, is a troubling development.The pace of joblessness in Bangladesh, as indicated by the investigation, has now ascended to about 11 percent based on what was percent 8. 0 percent in 2002 and 204 percent in 19 90.

Blog Archive Admissions Myths Destroyed Title Trumps All!

Blog Archive Admissions Myths Destroyed Title Trumps All! mbaMission  hosts a weekly blog series, “Admissions Myths Destroyed,”  for our friends at  Beat the GMAT. Check out the BTG site for fresh material and ours for “reprints.” The following piece was penned by mbaMission Founder, Jeremy Shinewald: A few weeks ago, we tackled the myth that you must know alumni to get into top MBA programs (See Alumni Get You In!). Without rehashing that argument, a myth that is somewhat similar in that it pertains to who you know instead of who you are is that your recommendation must be written by someone with a flashy title. Each year, many candidates will either persuade someone outside their workplace (a Congressman for example) or an insider who does not know their work all that well (a Managing Director or CEO) to write on their behalf. Unfortunately, when you have someone who depends on his/her title and not on actual knowledge of you, and thus writes a vague letter, the admissions committee will not get to know you, which undermines the very purpose of those letters. Even if you can educate someone far above you in the corporate hierarchy about your achievements and he/she can write a personal letter, it still will not make sense that a CEO, for example, knows what you, one of hundreds of analysts is doing , on a day in day out basis. So, the intimacy of this individual’s letter just might seem to be absurd. (Of course, if your CEO does actually know you and can write a personal letter that makes a logical connection between your position and his, it should be helpful.) Instead of merely seeking a title, you should identify an individual who knows you well and can write about your strengths and even your weaknesses with sincerity. If your supervisor has an unspectacular title, it will not reflect on you. What will reflect on you is what he/she writes. If he/she can discuss your performance with powerful examples of standout achievement, then he/she will help you to the fullest.

The Impact Of Geography On The Economic Growth Of The West

Geography played a key role in the economic growth of the West. Europe had always been politically fragmented due to its geography. There were no enormous plains or broad rivers. The landscape was mountain ranges, large forests and the population was centered in the valleys. This made it hard to gain control of and encouraged growth and the continued existence of decentralized power. Even though Europe had previously experienced steady growth, it soon gave way to famine and plagues. The Black Plague encouraged a radical transformation of the economy. Europe was neither the most fertile nor the most populous area in the world. However, due to the decrease in population, land became more plentiful and labor more expensive. Urban†¦show more content†¦Water transport of these goods was so much more economical and being surrounded by water led to their industry of ship building. Since there was no government authority that could control this commercial development it thrived. The evolution of new and lethal weapons like the musket and cannon facilitated the expansion on both land and sea and as a result the arms race began. â€Å"The impact of the gunpowder revolution at sea was even more wide-ranging† (Kennedy, 1987). This influenced and helped advance the future of maritime development. The development of long-range armed ships advanced Europe’s ability to control the oceanic trade routes. Even though â€Å"the revolution in military technology †¦.had implications for the organization and capital costs of warfare† (Tracy, 1991), the profits and benefits from this expansion were vast. They were able to procure gold, silver, and spices. Being able to access the Newfoundland fisheries brought about an abundance of food and oils. Employment to facilitate bulk trade helped to boost the economy. Ship building stimulated the economy and brought about the need for craftsmen, dealers, and suppliers, as well as insurers. Gold and silver were used to purchase spices and silks and timber was used to purchase iron guns from England. These economic advances coupled with technological advances interacted to drive the rise of Western Europe. Even though China had been disrupted by Mongols and the

Louis Xiv Foreign Policy - 1680 Words

‘Louis XIV’s foreign policy was entirely driven by his personal quest for gloire’. To what extent do you consider this statement to be true? Upon the coronation of Louis XIV on the 7th of June 1654, Mazarin informed Louis in fatherly tones that â€Å"It is up to you to become the most glorious king that has ever been†. Although Louis’ personal reign did not truly begin until 1661, he took this advice to heart and for the early part of his reign his foreign policy was almost entirely based upon his desire to become a renowned warrior king and win honour for himself and his kingdom. After 1674 and the withdrawal of French troops from Dutch soil, however, Louis seemed to mellow and become less hot-blooded, with security being the dominant factor†¦show more content†¦Having said all this, neither the religious nor the economic motives can be completely disregarded as they did occasionally influence Louis’ foreign policy. More than anything, certainly for the first part of Louis’ reign at least, it was the pursuit of ‘gloire’ that drove Louis in his foreign policy. When Louis was asked to justify his attack on the Dutch in 1672 Louis replied, â€Å"I shall not attempt to justify myself. Ambition and glory are always pardonable in a Prince.† Historian Joel Cornette argues convincingly that it was more than just a factor in his foreign policy; it was a fundamental attribute of Louis’ sovereignty. War justified his regal authority and defined the relationship between the King and the nobility, so in his view unless he portrayed himself as a warrior King, he was not King at all. Both the war of Devolution and the Dutch war were wars of gloire and little else; John Lynn argues that this view is supported by the fact that Louis was the instigator of both wars as he made the first aggressive moves. On both occasions, he led the army personally, in order to maximize the glory potential of each war, as if harking back to an Alexandrian time when rulers charged into the fray, leading from the front. Moreover, Louis brought members of the court, his wife and his children along on numerous campaigns, perhaps in an attempt to appear all the moreShow MoreRelatedPolitical, Economic, and Religious Developments in France925 Words   |  4 PagesDiscuss the political, economic, and religious developments in France during the reign of King Louis XIV, and how the other states of Europe reacted to create a balance of power designed to check Frances rise in power and influence both in Europe and overseas.

Langston Hughes And Harlem Renaissance Essay Example For Students

Langston Hughes And Harlem Renaissance Essay The Harlem Renaissance brought about many great changes. It was a time forexpressing the African-American culture. Many famous people began their writingor gained their recognition during this time. The Harlem Renaissance took placeduring the 1920s and 1930s. Many things came about during the HarlemRenaissance; things such as jazz and blues, poetry, dance, and musical theater. The African-American way of life became the thing. Many white people cameto discover this newest art, dancing, music, and literature. The Great Migrationof African-American people from the rural South to the North, and many intoHarlem was the cause of this phenomenon. Harlem was originally a Dutchsettlement. Harlem became one of the largest African- American communities inthe United States, and during the Harlem Renaissance became a center for art andliterature. Many great writers came about during this time, one of which wasLangston Hughes. Hughes was born in 1902 with the name James Langston Hughes,and died in 1967. He lived most of his adult life in Harlem. He grew up withouta stable family environment. His father moved to Mexico, and he never really sawmuch of him. Hughes was often referred to as Harlems poet (Haskins174). Hughes had and still has a great influence on poetry. Hughes poetry was areflection of the African-American culture and Harlem. He wrote many poems, andcontinu ed to write even after the Harlem Renaissance. He loved Harlem that washis home. He watched it decline with the onset of the Great Depression. He sawHarlem turn into a place to be feared by many. It was a sad and dangerous placeto be, after the depression. Hughes described the impact of the Great Depressionupon African-Americans, The depression brought everyone down a peg or two. And the Negro had but a few pegs to fall (Haskins 174). Langston Hughesvalued the teaching of children. Many of his poems are childrens poems. Heoften traveled to schools and read his poetry. His first published works were ina childrens magazine during the 1920s. He published a book of ABCscalled The Sweet and Sour Animal Book. He wanted to inspire the youth, and makethem feel good about themselves. He did not only write poetry, but that is whathe is famous for. Much of his poetry talks of the hardships, poverty,inequality, etc. of the African-American people. His work has inspired manypeople, and is read by many students and scholars. He is a great positive rolemodel. I personally love his poetry. It describes these problems within oursociety that still have yet to be resolved. It opens the readers eyes to themany disadvantages that many people have suffered through and are still tryingto overcome. Hughes writes about how the African-American people have been allover the world. In T he Negro Speaks of Rivers he talks about them bathingin the Euphrates, building huts by the Congo, and singing of the Mississippi. Ithink that this poem is showing how these people are everywhere. That in Americawe act as if they are subordinate, but he is saying to the white people, look atall my race has accomplished. We built the pyramids, and we have beenaround as long as these rivers. This is a positive poem. It does not talkdirectly about racism nor puts down the white race for being prejudiced (Lauter1612-13). In the poem, I, Too he describes how he is also part of whatAmerica is. Even if he is sent to eat in the kitchen, he is as much a part asanyone else. One day he will not be made to hide and eat in the kitchen. One daypeople will see that African-Americans are beautiful people, and will be ashamedof how they were treated. This poem gives hope to the black community. It makesthem yearn for the day when equality will come and racism will end. Too bad thatthe day has still not yet come in this century (Lauter 1618). In his poem,Harlem this is addressed. He wonders what happens to dreams that aredeferred. How long must one still dream of something that seems like it willnever come. The African-American people have been waiting to be seen as equalfor many years, yet it still seems so out of reach. His poetry seems to addressthis over and over again (Lauter 1619). In The Negro Artist and the RacialMountain, a young Negro poet said, I want to be a poet-not a Negro poet(Lauter 1629). It also describes how many middle class blacks tried to be morelike a white person. To disown their heritage in a way and become part ofwhite America. He talks about how they should learn to appreciate theirdiversity and their culture. The blacks should be proud of their individuality. .uaf4cf919ed41f78f1983c8a615100229 , .uaf4cf919ed41f78f1983c8a615100229 .postImageUrl , .uaf4cf919ed41f78f1983c8a615100229 .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .uaf4cf919ed41f78f1983c8a615100229 , .uaf4cf919ed41f78f1983c8a615100229:hover , .uaf4cf919ed41f78f1983c8a615100229:visited , .uaf4cf919ed41f78f1983c8a615100229:active { border:0!important; } .uaf4cf919ed41f78f1983c8a615100229 .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .uaf4cf919ed41f78f1983c8a615100229 { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .uaf4cf919ed41f78f1983c8a615100229:active , .uaf4cf919ed41f78f1983c8a615100229:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .uaf4cf919ed41f78f1983c8a615100229 .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .uaf4cf919ed41f78f1983c8a615100229 .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .uaf4cf919ed41f78f1983c8a615100229 .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .uaf4cf919ed41f78f1983c8a615100229 .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .uaf4cf919ed41f78f1983c8a615100229:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .uaf4cf919ed41f78f1983c8a615100229 .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .uaf4cf919ed41f78f1983c8a615100229 .uaf4cf919ed41f78f1983c8a615100229-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .uaf4cf919ed41f78f1983c8a615100229:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Feng Shui EssayHe thinks that many blacks are taught by white teachers, see white books andpictures, white papers, and then want to be what they are seeing. Why shouldI want to be white? I am a Negro-and beautiful (Lauter 1632). African-Americans must be themselves and build a foundation for the futureblacks to stand upon so they can finally be free within selves (Lauter1632). He still carries the hope that one day his people will become equal, andthat they can be appreciated for all that they have done for America (Lauter1629-32). James Langston Hughes will always be known as a great poet who did somuch to make his race move toward equality. He wrote many inspirational poems. He wanted to reach a younger generation and show them that they can besuccessful. He wanted the children to be proud of who they are, and to excel inliterature. He was part of something great. That something great was the HarlemRenaissance. It was a time of change. A time of happiness for the most part. Atime when many people realized that there were many talented African-Americans. A time for new things and a new way of doing things. Jazz and Blues becamepopular. White people came to Harlem to see how blacks danced, and what musicthey listened to. Harlem became a very hip place. The arts flourished allaround Harlem. People were having fun. This influenced many people and ways thatstill are around today. The influence of the music can still be heard in some ofour music today. Many authors today were inspired by those of the HarlemRenaissance. It was a great time for the African- American community, but at thesame time it caused fighting between the middle class and poorer blacks. Thefeeling of inequality still existed, but at least African-Americans were finallygetting some recognition for some of the wonderful accomplishments that theyhave made. BibliographyHaskins, Jim.

The National Museum of Australia

The purpose and the site context of the building The National Museum of Australia (NMA) remains one of the most memorable and magnificent structure in Australia. Architects, Ashton McDougall and Robert Peck designed the NMA.Advertising We will write a custom critical writing sample on The National Museum of Australia specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More The building occupies an 11 hectare site in Canberra, Australia’s national capital, in Acton Peninsula at the edge of Lake Burley Griffin. The idea of NMA came from an International Design Competition in 1997. NMA is a post-modern building that shows different collections of history and culture. It does not take the root of traditional museum. The outstanding feature in the NMA is the huge loop at the main entrance on the Uluru line. The NMA building has houses of 6600 square metres. These are mainly individual spaces, and exhibition space, which form jigsaw puzzle and a semicir cle at Acton. There is widespread and extensive use of colour both inside and outside. The building has â€Å"varied and vibrant colours, such as orange, gold, crimson, black, bronze, and brushed silver† (NMA, 2012). NMA has a smooth texture consisting of â€Å"anodised aluminium panels that cover most of the walls, and smooth concrete surface† (NMA, 2012). There is an artistic work of Braille words forming raised and sunken holes. The entrance has a huge Hall. The Hall has a wide â€Å"inlet for light and a great open space of curving walls, ceilings, and windows† (NMA, 2012). People see the Hall as a large rope. They say that it is a knot that joins Australia as a country, joining them together in history, and in their stories. After the Hall, there are three levels of exhibition spaces and designs. Colour is significant here in reflecting Australian stories.Advertising Looking for critical writing on architecture? Let's see if we can help you! Get your f irst paper with 15% OFF Learn More Fig 1: A view of NMA Historical and or cultural references for the building The NMA has varied National Historical Collection of Australia’s history as its main attraction. There are other collections too. The NMA holds this treasure of a diverse collection in trust for the country. Historically and culturally, the NMA research works, collections and representations concentrate on three inter-related fields. The first one explores the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, enduring Indigenous attachment to country and contributions to Australian society. The second focuses on the Australian history and society since 1788, which focuses on the history of settlement in Australia and the development of the nation’s political, social and economic life since British colonisation of the continent. Finally, there is people’s interaction with the Australian environment (NMA, 2012). This studies the relati onships between people and their places, the evolution of distinctly Australian landscapes and reactions to environmental challenges. The above three areas closely â€Å"relate to each other, and a number of NMA collections relate to more than one field† (NMA, 2012). The National Historical Collection of Australia has â€Å"one of the world’s largest collections of barks paintings and the collection of the former Australian Institute of Anatomy, including the racehorse Phar Lap’s heart† (NMA, 2012). A part from these, NMA also has different collections of â€Å"historical vehicles, politics and politicians’ materials, collections of convict tokens, and mass collection of Aboriginal breastplates† (NMA, 2012).Advertising We will write a custom critical writing sample on The National Museum of Australia specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More The NMA also has a dynamic collection of other attractio ns. However, by any international standards, NMA collections do not match some of the leading world museums. It mainly consists of â€Å"collections donations, objects from other government’s agencies, and some acquired through purchases† (NMA, 2012). Macarthur notes that the NMA development relies on â€Å"the reports of Pigott of 1975 and that of National Museum of Australia Act 1980† (Macarthur, 2001). The NMA also creates and keeps important archival and academic and educational collections. These collections are essential in the provision of extra information and historical studies for the NMA collection. Challenges or opportunities in the project associated with context, access, site conditions and or the construction program The use of cast steel for a structural framework is not without its problems. In order to give steel the necessary liquidity, it must contain a relatively high level of alloy elements. This makes it brittle and unfit for welding and w ithstanding high temperatures. Some brackets, such as Gerberette brackets are difficult to join using welding. Therefore, constructors joined them to other parts of the structure using pinned connections (Addis, 1994). The basic design of the steelwork is fairly straightforward with a logical primary or secondary element arrangement configured to minimise element size and at the same time, satisfying the various requirements specific to this particular building. The geometries of the space trusses and primary elements are highly complex. Great ingenuity and inventiveness are necessary in order to realise the design economically on the very difficult curvilinear and tapering site plan, without compromising the architectural opportunities of the construction.Advertising Looking for critical writing on architecture? Let's see if we can help you! Get your first paper with 15% OFF Learn More A crucial challenge occurs in connection with the fabrication of trusses. This is devising an economical way of coping with variations in the span and height that occurs due to tapering, curvilinear form of the plan. This needs some aspect of standardization be incorporated to avoid the program from becoming totally uneconomic. In addition, there is complexity of the geometry of the primary structural elements. The opportunities to solve these challenges are the uses of the â€Å"weldable† cast-steel joint components. Therefore, architect team must become much involved with the design of the structure, particularly with the visual aspects of the complicated connections and the architects and engineers. Consequently, team work is mandatory so as to produce a building that works well both visually and technically. On the other hand, there are opportunities that exist due to use of steels in construction of huge buildings. The main advantage of using steel in a large building is its ability to reduce construction time and program. The large and single panels of steels allow contractors to put up a section of the building at one time. There is no need for separating other framing, insulating and sheathing requirements on site. In some case, some steel materials come as pre-cuts and fixed to include doors and windows sections, curves, arches and difficult shapes. Still, in some cases, the electrical holes are readily done in the frame works. Steels are very strong and are structurally self-supporting. Constructors can use them in roofs, walls and floor systems instead of other building materials. NMA has successfully used steel in most of its walls, stairways, floors, and supporting structures. In walls, steels carry high loads and offer maximum strength in holding the building. The nature of steel enables it to work as a material for exterior and interior walls, to resist earthquakes and high winds. In some roofing instances, steel eliminated the use of tru ss system in cases where there was less than 20 feet in design measurement. This enabled NMA to have open interior spaces and almost eliminated the need for intermediate structural supports. The use of steel reduced the construction costs and waste materials. Readily made steel materials need no further modifications. The use of steel eliminated most environmental impacts that come from other building materials. Steels also come from recyclable materials, thus, ensure environmental safety. NMA has good indoor air and light quality due to use steel in walls. It also created tight envelope around the building to reduce possible entrance of air pollutants. How characteristics and use of the selected material (steel) has influenced the  design, the building form, the structural assembly, component parts and or the building’s construction processes These works of steels are not only the beauty of the NMA, but also pointers to a complex and diverse geometrical works by which the constructors imagined the famous axes of the NMA, which lay out as joined and knotted on the site. NMA design exploits the use of steel to create spiral staircase. Steel offers varieties of designs which are also durable. Steel also enabled the constructors to customize their looks in terms of height, handrails, diameter, and balusters to meet the design needs of NMA. They also blend well with any kind of preferred colour coating. The NMA designers clad steel materials in areas such as walls, canopies, columns windows, lifts, staircases, panels, and NMA facades using different steel materials and a choice of finishes. Some NMA metal cladding applications include â€Å"the satin finish stainless steel, and anodised aluminium panels, which create magnificent walls and windows in NMA† (NMA, 2012). Some of the striking features of the metal cladding are â€Å"the spherical wedge and curved panels forming the interface between vertical and horizontal elements of the building† (Macdonald, 2000). The use of steel influenced some of the structural features that needed stainless steel. The designers created some of the striking designs in NMA. These features include customised themes of stainless steel staircases, tapered bars, balustrades elements of handrails and stanchions, curves of elevations, and different painted steel frames, which create outstanding period effects. In roofing, steel materials play significant roles in the diagonal tie rods on the upper floors of NMA building. The steel rods holds the structures to avoid swaying and make it comfortable for the visitors because they support the building structurally. There are also striking steel features on the building faà §ade, which are open on the exterior walls to keep the design intent visible and influence the history and cultural experiences of the Australians. The steel shapes and other features reflect the designers design intent. They played a significant role in determining the design of the ground- floor lobby, Halls, and other interior features. The most of the building features are steels including the columns that consist of steel cladding. This is not common in most museums. The steels cover both the interior and exterior of the building as a deliberate attempt to cover the preferred architectural features. How the decision to use steel has contributed to the architectural intent of the building: Aesthetic Strength to reflect history of the country Steel is strong, flexible and durable building material. It has influenced both engineering and architectural designs and intent throughout steel structures. Steel is also recyclable and can withstand extreme environmental conditions. Steel has influenced architectural intent in NMA building aesthetically. It shows beauty, history, and culture. The exposed and shining features of different colours show elegance and lightness (Macdonald, 2000). The elegance of the coated steel itself was important in the design. The painted steel columns and walls on the outside and in the lobby are the basic components of the NMA building and are all significant to the material itself. Thus, steel is one of the crucial and integral intent of architectural expressions. Fig 3: Lobby: Steel Aesthetic architectural intent Structural steel is among the most used materials in most landmark buildings. However, most designers choose to bury them in the concrete, walls, columns and building faà §ade and hide their elegance. However, designers of the NMA building decided to expose steel structures in the building and cover them with different coats to enhance the design intent and building aesthetics. The use of steel also presents challenges to engineers. For instance, the NMA building has a high visibility of steel structures and features, which is a problem in achieving such desired designer’s intent. Thus, managing the architectural intent and designers can present serious challenges in implementation of the design. Steel played a significant role in achieving the designers’ intent of architectural invention of its kind, a collection of cultural allusions, visual spins, and architectural symbolism of history. The NMA building shows a high level of scrutiny and consciousness of details in size, proportion, connection and joinery of the steel structures particularly around the rope knot that signifies the unity of Australians in a single country. These ideas had to meet the intent of different designers, architectures, and other stakeholders. The ability to sculpt steel and create pieces of art in a building cannot yield concrete result with inflexible approaches. Steel works well alongside other materials. In addition, it has both the strength and flexibility that is necessary in creating shapes, forms and sizes to fit desired architectural expressions. These are the qualities that make the steel suitable for designing air and light inlets across the walls. The beauty enhan ced by steel presented serious challenges to the design and engineering groups. For instance, the NMA building had to conform to the international and national safety and occupancy requirements. In most cases, steel building must be fireproof, meeting this requirement and maintaining aesthetic beauty is a serious challenge. Thus, painting on the exterior had to meet safety requirements and maintain aesthetic beauty. The steel structure developed parts of large and small steel columns and beams stretching from the building basement and supporting the vertical and horizontal weight, which increases as the building becomes large. The architectures did not fix the steel structures as they were available with their standard measurements, but rather the architectural and design teams took the reduction in size and manipulated it so that the plate sizes drop off in a controlled and planned manner that helped create the building’s feature of strength, lightness and beauty. Fig 4: St eel beam structures and strength of the structure The oval steel thread is not only the symbol of the NMA building, but also an indicator to a complex and thorough work of geometrical designs by which the architects created the knots that show the relationship of Australians in a single country. The looping effect does not cross and pull the building together. Instead, it enlarges the NMA building to point the edges of the surrounding water as the area planning and design intent required. The design procedures also allowed some elements of arts and history to influence the museum in presenting the history of Australia as woven and joined together. The architectures’ idea of symbolism found its place well incorporated in the NMA building ideology. The two axes represent strings and a forced five-sided creation that visitors cannot easily see but separate the building into different parts. We must understand that the NMA building is on remarkable due to application of the lates t computer technology (Davies, 1988). This allowed the teams to design, perform sheet and material cutting, and carry out survey. Still, the building â€Å"geometry is not clear to any layman, and it is difficult and almost impossible to understand it even with the design diagrams† (Macarthur, 2001). Thus, such building’s geometry remains hard to understand and always open to misconceptions in interpretation. We can compare the NMA building geometry and architectural intent to that of S. Ivo della Sapienza of Rome designed by Borromini. Borromini applied a feature of â€Å"a six-pointed star both to create the structural design of the segmented roof and to stimulate the symbol of wisdom† (Macarthur, 2001). Conversely, the geometrical features do not conform to the building elements that it has created. The star is behind the veil, which clearly differentiates life and time experience from the complete and unchanged world of symbols. Scholars note that Borromini wanted to represent â€Å"a five-sided figure as the sign of Christ represented in His five wounds, and if one thinks, with the baroque, that interpretation is infinite, then the string which makes up the NMA can be the Redeemer as well as Griffin’s axes† (Macarthur, 2001). Describe and analyse at least two details that contribute to the quality of the work and shall include (evidence of, and reference to, at least one interview the student has undertaken with the building’s architect, and/or engineer and/or other key stakeholder(s) in its design and/or construction An interview with Aston Raggat McDouglla, Architect in the NMA building construction Question: What is your comment on the design flexibility? Answer: â€Å"The design of the structure takes advantage of flexibility of steel and uses cutting edge construction technique†. The architectures had steel precast parts customised to match design intents and requirements in plants. This is useful in f abricating complex size, shapes, sizes, and certain technical specification. In the absence of prefabrication, complex and detailed designs may be tedious to construct, or the desired quality may be difficult to get on the site using normal construction tools. Precasting provides wide and flexible design opportunities and several designs of the same shapes and sizes that lead to economies in a construction. Fig 5: Precast wall Question: What is your view on quality of external wall and stability of the structure? Answer: â€Å"The overall stability of the structures required careful thought due to the many eccentricities from leaning columns and non-symmetrical arrangements†. The alignment, upright arrangements and smooth surface finishes of external wall steel contributes to building facade. Most precast wall panels need no thorough finishing before the last finishing begins. Techniques such as scaffolding are not necessary in the finishing works. This provides opportunitie s to have clean, and safe working environment for fast construction activities. Fig 6: External walls Question: What is your take on dry and clean construction and material usage on the NMA? Answer: â€Å"The NMA construction was complex and unconventional with limited wastages of materials due to dry and clean construction†. Steelwork increases productivity because it is a dry construction. External wall metal cladding consisting of aluminium and glass, which work together with steelwork to enhance fast construction progress ensure dry and clean construction. The strict specifications for steel framing and cladding systems enhance to a better quality finishing. Workers can avoid scaffolding in installation of external wall structures by using tower cranes. Use of tower crane reduces difficulties associated with scaffolding.

Good or bad things of a country depend on the leadership of the president. So the presidency of the United States is the most important thing of America political system in many ways. Studying the presidency give me a lot of help to understand the American political system. First of all I have learned the qualification of a president. To become a president, a person must be 35 years old, natural born US citizens and 14 years of residence in the US. There is no basic need of educational status and intelligence or wealth. By looking the history of former presidents, they came from different background. So I see clearly that any person can become the president as long as he or she meets basic need and people vote for that person. Then I also learn about the election of the president. In the United Stated, presidents are chosen through the Electro College, as it has senators and representatives combined. On the Election Day, the votes within each state are added up and the candidate with the most votes receives all that states votes in the Electoral College. When the counting has been done in each state, the number of electoral college votes for each candidate is added up. If any candidate has a majority of at least 270 votes, he becomes a president. I also learn that the power of a president. President represents both head of the government and the chief of the states. And he has both three solo powers and power with the consent of senate. Although the president has full control ...

Jim Crow Research Paper Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1000 words

Jim Crow - Research Paper Example The Jim Crow was characterized by tough anti-black polices or laws (Packard 2003, 222). Under the Jim crow, people of color especially African Americans were seen as people who belonged to the lower or second class in society. The Jim Crow rallied for implementation of anti-black policies because many theologians and Christians preached that the white people were children of God. They taught that God cursed people of color especially black men to be servants, and due to this, God endorsed racial biasness (Boskin 1976). In addition, craniologists and social thinkers argued that the culture of the black people was inferior and that they were intellectually inferior to the white people. Those politicians who were against social integration believed that the black culture could not mix with the white culture as this could lead to mongrelization of the white race which they perceived to be superior than any other race (Klarman 2006, 211). The media propagated racial segregation in their articles where they referred to black people as darkies, coons, and niggers. Their messages in the articles spread anti-black information and stereotypes. For instance, in schools, white children saw black children as inferior and worthless. Under the Jim Crow, all social institutions such as schools and churches reinforced oppression of the people of color particularly African Americans (Parish 2008, 93-95). The Jim Crow norms worked in combination with the Jim Crow policies. The Jim Crow norms were responsible for black exclusion from significant facilities such as jobs, transport, and schools. The 13th and 15th amendment of the US constitution had given black people same rights and legal protection as white people (Stetson 2011, 188). However, when Rutherford was elected the US president, border and southern States started restricting the freedoms and rights of black people. Even the highest institution in the land, the Supreme Court, reinforced racial segregation with the

Environmental Science- make up a hypothetical disaster scenario Essay

Environmental Science- make up a hypothetical disaster scenario - Essay Example This plate is not static as it moves about ten centimeters annually hence forcing its way under the South America continental plate (U S library of congress n.p). Such telluric dislodgment resulted to the Trench in Peru and Chile thereby making the country prone to earthquakes as the Nazca plate causes high stress beneath Chile. Additionally, about 50% of the nation’s terrain is mountainous and the nation’s citizens mostly live near these mountains. In relation to the issue of possible contamination, water contamination and chemical contamination are possible (U S library of congress n.p). During this disaster, the country was subjected to sudden earthquake of about 9.0 richter scale. This earthquake was more than any other experienced in the area in the recent past. On this occasion, the earthquake was so great that the high stress beneath the land caused buildings to sink as soil liquefaction occurred. During such a strong earth quake, the water and the soil mix thereby making the ground very soft and act like a quicksand. Since the South American arc extends over 7000 km from the Chilean margin and the Panama fracture zone along a triple junction (Embassy of the United States n.p). This junction marks the plate boundary between sub-ducting Nazca plate and almost static South American plate. At this point, Nazca plate’s oceanic lithosphere and crust underlie the South American mantle hence causing earthquakes and active volcanic along the deformation. This form of an earthquake was recently experienced in Japan on March 11 2011 resulting to massive damage inc luding infrastructure and damage to several Nuclear power plants (U S library of congress n.p). The main role of public health professionals is to ensure that the negative consequences associated with such an event are minimized through evacuation, in a place around the site. In terms of health, gas leaks are a very likely either a natural gas or as gas used for

Telephone Conversation Essay Example for Free

Telephone Conversation Essay Telephone Conversation, by Wole Soyinka is about racism; more specifically, it is about the way people both white and black fail to communicate clearly about matters of race. The narrator of the poem describes a telephone conversation in which he reaches a deal with a landlady to rent an apartment. He feels that he must let her know that he is black: Nothing remained But self-confession. Madam, I warned,I hate a wasted journey—I am African. This is where the lapses in communication begin. The landladys first response is, Silence. Silenced transmission of / Pressurized good breeding. She next asks the ridiculous question, How Dark? Are  you  light/or  very  dark? The narrator is dumbfounded. Instead of telling her, â€Å"Its none of your business†, or simply, â€Å"Lets forget about the apartment†, he offers a cryptic response: â€Å"West African sepia. † When the landlady asks for clarification, the narrator only confuses matters further: â€Å"Facially, I am brunette, but, madam, you should see The rest of me. Palm of my hand, soles of my feet Are a peroxide blond. He makes matters even worse by saying that friction has somehow turned his buttocks raven black. This poem uses a lot of irony and sarcasm. The poet mainly uses irony in three places. The first tone of irony is sensed when the man confesses that he is an African. When describing the lady, the poet uses a lot of sarcastic language. Irony is lastly used when the man describes himself to the woman. The last line of the poem also leaves a sense of mystery in the reader. Wole Soyinka brings out a great use of irony in this poem. In this poem, the narrator is describe being genuinely apologetic for his skin color, even though he has no reason to be sorry for something which he was born with and has no control over. we can also see that the narrator is an intelligent person by his use of high diction and quick wit. The landlady is also describe as racist. The poem reminds me of the Bible verse: Do to other what you would have them to you, Luke 6:31. If you want to be annoyed, then annoy other people, like in the poem the landlady was the first to annoy the narrator and in the end the narrator annoy the landlady.

I Know Its Over by Steven Patrick Essay -- Papers

I Know It's Over by Steven Patrick Summary This is a bleak, perhaps morbid, but sensitive and intelligent song lyric, which most critics see as being about the end of fictional or fantasy relationship. But the interpretation can be much deeper, indeed, a bottomless pit for those who are inclined to wallow in helplessness and suicidal thoughts. There are four distinct sections that are not entirely connected and this leads to a variety of interpretations in linking them, enabling the audience to project their own feelings onto the words. And yet, the emotional intensity seems to produce elation[1] not depression (perhaps more in the performance than the poetry). Speculation about the meaning of the lines (as long as it is not overdone) can lead to a satisfying enjoyment. Structure The first section describes our hero's immediate state of mind with the image of his empty bed as a grave: Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head and as I climb into an empty bed Oh, well. Enough said. As if being buried alive, the melancholy protagonist feels that his life may as well be over: I know it's over - still I cling/I don't know where else I can go. Perhaps an intense relationship has come to an end, leading to thoughts of despair and suicide, but it may be less obvious. He equates his imagined forthcoming death with a feeling of utter helplessness, but it seems that death is not an option because he finds it difficult to act, as we shall see. So, although the sea wants to take me/the knife wants to slit me, he does not seem to want it. He does ask do you think you can help me? but of whom? His mothe... ...tates that love is Natural and Real: is he afraid that for such as you and I, my love it is unnatural and imaginary? Themes Typically for this writer the themes are unrequited love, isolation, loneliness, helplessness, etc. The Wildean themes are, perhaps, in the mind of the reader/listener. Indeed, the overall vagueness and ambiguity, typical of this author, together with the complexity of the structure allows for a dichotomy of interpretations. --------------------------------------------------------------------- [1] However, I acknowledge David Pinching, writing in his essay Oscar Wilde's influence on Stephen Fry and Morrissey, when he says that "Wilde represents isolation within one's own world and a grand set of theories about the most irrelevant and absurd things."

Child Development Essay

1.2 Research holistic development and write an account about your understanding of this, giving examples of how different aspects of development can affect one another. Holistic development means that each area is dependent on the other to make sure the child develops to their full potential. Development is split into different areas, Physical, social, emotional, language and intellectual. Still each area must connect in order for the child to develop. For example a child may be intellectual but not be able to tie his shoe laces. This is not because the child is incapable of tying his shoes lace but that he has not had to practice the physical skill. Another example is a child needs to wear glasses for school (physical) and other children tease him for wearing glasses which in turn could lower his self-esteem (emotional). This may lead to him being isolated from friends as he cannot deal with the teasing (social), he then may stop wearing his glasses to become accepted by his peers. As a result of this he will be unable to see clearly which could affect his school work (intellectual). 2.1 Research the influences that can affect children’s development. Background: There are different things that can affect child’s development in their background. A family break up can be really stressful for a child and can influence development as they can get very upset. The child could react in different ways by either lashing out, going very quiet or could even stop eating and talking as they feel they could feel responsible for their parents break up. As well as a break up effecting a child’s development, a child’s parent getting a new partner can be also as effective. They may not like the new partner and again can lead to them being aggressive going quiet or not eating. A massive influence in a child’s development would be if there was bereavement in the family as the child does not fully understand why that person is no longer in their life and can again cause all of the above reactions. Health Proper nutrition can have a direct impact on a child’s development both physically and psychologically. Appropriate nutrition is related to functional outcomes for children as they get older. In other words, unhealthy eating can lead to weight gain and other negative effects if the child does not learn how to eat healthy early in life. It is stressed that it is the increased duration and intensity of the exposures to healthy eating habits, through both hands-on learning and leading by example, that really make a positive impact on a child’s development. Environment Children who are surrounded, both at home and at school/daycare facilities, by a strong learning environment that is both informative and supportive may improve their development. A child’s environment – for example, his family or school – plays a huge part in his development. Simply stated, a nurtured child will do better than a deprived child. That may seem like common sense, but you may not realize the little things that make a difference. Some assume that a rich privileged child will automatically thrive more than a child living in poverty. That is not always the case. 2.2 Write an account about the importance of recognizing and responding to concerns in children’s development. Give examples of cases you are aware of. The following things would cause concern about a child or young person’s development. If the problem was left untreated then things could get worse, and a delay in treatment could mean that the outcome is not as good as it would have been if treatment was started earlier. If a child or young person does not talk to anyone or even only speaks a few words compared to others, this may cause concern. This would socially affect the child or young person’s because they would find it hard to make friends, work in groups or even interact with adults. It would also affect their communicational development because they would find it hard to speak to people and also may find it hard to listen to instructions. Early intervention would be the best way to respond to this concern, the first step would be to have the child or young person’s hearing checked because if they have poor hearing they will find it hard to hear people so will not want to communicate with others in case they get something wrong. Poor reading and writing is also another thing to look for. If a child or young person has difficulties with their reading and writing it may cause concern, but this may not be noticeable until the child is around the age of 6 or 7 because by this age they should have learnt how letters are formed and begin to string words together. These are the main skills a child needs to help them develop in all areas. Due to poor reading and writing the child or young person will start to fall behind his peers of the same age. They may find it difficult to interact or make friends with others who are more advanced than them, in case they are bullied etc. They would struggle with their intellectual development not only with the reading and writing, but they would struggle with their memory and even their concentration. 3.2 Research and identify other transitions that only some children may experience through life, for example bereavement. Most children may experience transitions; transitions can be long term or short term. Some transitions that most children may experience are likely to be, starting school or changing from one school to another. Some families may move house several times throughout their lives this can affect a child in that they have to try and make new friends and get use to the area in which they will be living. Children and young people have to make very many of their transitions without prior personal experience, and it can sometimes appear to them as a daunting list of ‘firsts’: first day at school; first exam. Most of these changes are dealt with well by most children and young people, as and when they are ready. The experience they gain and the skills they learn in the process equip them to deal with the challenges of life ahead. The diverse range of transitions faced by children and young people includes: †¢ starting or moving school †¢ puberty †¢ bereavement †¢ parents splitting up †¢ illness (their own or a parent’s or sibling’s) †¢ changing friendship groups †¢ entry to, or leaving, a pupil referral unit †¢ moving through child health services into adult services †¢ coming out as gay or lesbian †¢ leaving home. Young people and children will need help and support from peers and adults to successfully make the transition to the next stage in their life. The nature and timing and giver of the support will vary depending on the individual’s needs and circumstances. Bereavement-the death of a close friend or relative may be very traumatic for a child, when it comes to times of change and transitions you should give children every opportunity to talk about what is going to happen and how they feel. 3.3 Describe with examples how transitions may affect children and young people’s behavior and development. Children and young people naturally pass through a number of stages as they grow and develop. Often, they will also be expected to cope with changes such as movement from primary to secondary school and, for children with disabilities or chronic ill health, from children’s to adults’ services. Such changes are commonly referred to as transitions. Some children may have to face very particular and personal transitions not necessarily shared or understood by all their peers. These include: family illness or the death of a close relative; divorce and family break-up; issues related to sexuality; adoption; the process of asylum; disability; parental mental health; and the consequences of crime. It is important to understand a child or young person in the context of their life, to recognise and understand the impact of any transitions they may be going through.

An evaluation of the Intestate Commerce Act 1887 - Free Essay Example

INTERSTATE COMMERCE ACT 1 Transportation has been a vital part of human existence, early forms of transportation accomplished by foot power and animal power. Eventually, humans started to invent powerful machines to handle the task of hauling goods and people too far off lands. As technology advanced, there was a need to establish rules for these forms of transportation by local, state, and federal governments. These new policy and regulations often covered all modes of transport while some covered only one type of transportation mode. All the transportation policies and regulations passed by the government are vital to keep the industry safe and make the playing field level for all companies. One of the most monumental policies passed was the Interstate Commerce Act. Which at the time of passage it affected only the rail industry. Why did the government feel this law was required and how did it effect the railroads? The Interstate Commerce act was a critica l step for the Federal Government. However, the push to regulate the railroads started before Congress intervened. Prior to the passage of the act, many local and state governments attempted to control the railroads with very little success. Early political action against these railroad monopolies came in the 1870s from à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Grangerà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  controlled state legislatures in the West and South. The Granger Movement had started in the 1860s providing various benefits to isolated rural communities (Our Documents, n.d.). There were landmark cases pertaining to the railroad monopolies brought in front of the Supreme Court, Munn v. Illinois in 1877, is one such case. In the case against Illinois, the high court ruled that local states have the rights to regulate industries within their borders if such industries effected public interest. This ruling was short lived; in 1886, the Supreme Court reversed the decision on the Illinois case. The case of Wabash, St. Louis Pacif ic Railroad v. Illinois again brought the dispute of railroad monopolies to the Supreme Court. The disputes started over the states, coupled with railroad influence, were still charging unfair rates. In the Wabash hearing two shippers transporting goods from Illinois to New York paid different prices for the same amount of cars. One shipper paid $39 or 15 cents per mile for the trip to New York. While the second shipper paid $65 at the rate of 25 cents per mile (Miller, n.d.). After hearing the case, the Supreme Court reversed the decision on Munn v. Illinois realizing that the states follow the same practices of the railroads. With the trust of the states in question, Congress had no choice but to get involved. The Interstate Commerce Act passed by congress in February of 1887. The Act, first called the Act to Regulate Commerce. This act was a major milestone as it was the first time the Federal Government took a role in trying to regulate an industry. The law came out of the ne ed to regulate the railroad industry. In the late 1800à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s railroads were the main form of transportation for goods and people. With no laws in place to regulate these railroads, they were turning into monopolies. The railroads could set their own rates for hauling goods with different prices depending on the distance that the goods would travel. They also had some cities where they were the only railroad allowed to access the city. With only one railroad servicing the city, if you wanted to ship via rail you had to pay the high price, as there was no competition. The railroads also favored the bigger companies in their service areas. The railroads cut deals with big shippers, in the form of secret discounts on the price to ship. These back room deals made it almost impossible for smaller business to compete in the market place, the local farmers received most of the burden. The following statement offers a great example of the issues farmers faced: Farmers were in deed agitated when corn sold for 15 cents a bushel in Iowa and $1.00 a bushel in New York City, and yet the farmer could not make a profit on the sale to the eastern destination because of the high railroad freight rates (Johnson Highsmith, 2009). Many local governments ignored what the railroads were doing. They received reduced or sometimes even free tickets on passenger trains. In 1886, the public wanted Congress to stop the monopolies that railroads had, many public groups lobbied Congress to step in and regulate the industry. (Aitchison, 1937) wrote, à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“An Act to Regulate Commerce was approved by President Cleveland February 4, 1887. It was the first general exercise of the regulatory power of Congress under the Commerce Clause.à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  (p.289) This Act served two main goals to regulate the industry. First, the new law formed a new federal agency called the Interstate Commerce Commission that consisted of nine members. The duties of this newly formed agency were to ensure that the railroads were following the new law. Secondly was how the law managed and regulated the railroads. One of the important ways to regulate railroads was to limit the rate that was charged. Any railroad, which charged more than a à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“reasonableà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  rate of compensation, was to be guilty of extortion, a misdemeanor (Hilton, 1966, p. 104). Additionally, the law enforced the fact that all rates should be the same for shipping no matter the distance shipped. The Act also required that the railroads post current rates for the public to view. Furthermore, the Act made it illegal for the railroads to offer discounts to any shipper, which made it easier for smaller companies to compete. Many parts of the Interstate Commerce Act were very vague on the provisions set forth, which had to undergo amending to correct the issues. One thing to note, the act started in less than perfect fashion. The Act declared that charges for interstate rail transportation should be à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“reasonable and just,à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  but did not define this term or give the ICC the power to set rates (Ely, 2012). The only authority granted by the Interstate Commerce Act was for the Interstate Commerce Committee to review the rate only. In addition to the rates railroads charged, the goal of the legislation was to break the monopolies established years prior. However, Congress left a loophole in the original wording of the law. While the Federal Government regulated the trade between the states, the states still had the authority to regulate the intrastate trade within their boundaries. This loophole allowed states to undermine any Interstate commerce policy. When the act passed the five-member team of the Interstate Commerce Committee struggled to exert their authority, many railroad executives ignored the policies. This led to many more cases landing on the desk of the Supreme Court. The high court soon sent the cases back to the lowe r courts. In the early 1900à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Congress moved to fix many of the outstanding issues with the original law. In 1906, Congress passed the Hepburn Act. The act changed many things pertaining to the railroads, among the changes it granted the ICC power to establish maximum rates that were à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“just, fair, and reasonableà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  (terms not defined in the act), and it granted the commission enforcement power (Clark, 2011). The enforcement power held the railroad executives accountable for not following polices passed by the Interstate Commerce Committee, with the penalty ranging from fines to jail for not heeding to the policies. In conclusion, as humans advanced from moving goods with animals to powerful machines, came an increase in the need to regulate them. Local citizens and businessmen took their concerns to the Supreme Court, while at first the courts allowed the states to regulate the industry; they soon understood the error in that decision an d reversed the ruling. In order to get these regulationsà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ the public had to put pressure on the government. This pressure caused many new laws to satisfy the needs. Although the Interstate Commerce Act was not the only law passed to regulate the railroads, it was a first step to help smaller companies compete with their larger counter parts. The Act also prevented the railroads from becoming a monopoly. The act experienced many change to cover other forms of transportation as technology advanced. Even in these modern times, the Interstate Commerce Commission is still an instrumental part of the government. The Interstate Commerce Act was the building block for the way the United States transportation system operates today. References Aitchison,C.B. (1937).
