.... Alfred Marshall toward the end of the 19th century. Marshall theorized that the strength of a union depended upon four factors. First, demand for the product should be inelastic, so that there is little, if any, decline in sales in response to price increases. Second, labor costs should be a small portion of the total costs of production, so that a rather large increase in wages would generate only a small increase in the price of the product. Third, the supply of factors that can be used as substitutes for union labor, such as nonunion labor or labor-saving machinery, should be inelastic, so that their price rises substantially as more unit .....

.... and his twin sister, Ellen Ann, were the third son and second daughter, respectively, of newspaper editor Joseph Whilden and his wife, Elizabeth Gilbert Whilden. The births of two more sons, Richard Furman in 1826 and William Gilbert in 1828, would complete the family, making seven children in all. Young Charles' roots ran deep into the soil of the lowcountry. His Whilden ancestors had settled in the Charleston area in the 1690's, and an ancestor on his mother's side, the Rev. William Screven, had arrived in South Carolina even earlier, establishing the First Baptist Church of Charleston in 1683, today the oldest church in the Southe .....

.... and American Indian Wars. Like most countries, the United States, at different periods, has been victimized by the dark forces of war. Though reasons (or excuses) the American people have been given to the American people to justify military action were given before most of our wars, not every war has been popular. Ever since the Revolutionary War up until the Vietnam War, and even through to the Gulf War, public support has sequentially increased or decreased. For example, less than half of the early colonists backed America’s war of independence.1 According to historians, more than one third wanted to maintain their status of co .....

.... a steam threshing machine. By the age of 17 he had moved to Detriot, intent on becoming a machinist and from there he was on his way to create the steam engine. His creation of the steam engine wasn’t excepted at first. It was able to give the power of a couple of horses, but people were not ready to accept the fact. Henry Ford realized his dream of producing an automobile that was reasonably priced, reliable, and efficient with the introduction of the model T in 1908. This vehicle initiated a new era in personal transportation. It was easy to operate, maintain, and handle on rough roads, immediately becoming a huge success. By .....

.... called for democracy. The three goals of the revolution were: liberty, equality, and fraternity. They rebelled against the kings and nobles, and were successful. Due to the success of people in the French Revolution ideas went into peoples minds. The idea caught on everywhere including Canada. People thought they could bring about similar or possibly more rights for themselves. Another example is the Great Migration, where many people migrated to Canada. The increased population meant more people and more thoughts and ideas heading towards rebellion. A third example is the Industrial Revolution. It began in Britain, then spre .....

.... types: craft unions and industrial unions (World, 1998). A craft union is “a union whose membership is restricted to workers who possess an identifiable skill� (Robinson, 1985,p. 69). These members tend to be better educated and trained, and more unified because of common interests (World, 1998). An example of a craft union is the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (World, 1998). On the other hand, an industrialized union “is a group of workers who have a variety of skills and job types but work for the same industry� (Parkin, 1998, p. 344). Unions of this type include the United Steelworkers, United Auto Wor .....

.... pay a tax on anything that was printed, which caused a great amount of anger and resistance among the settlers. They pulled together and created the Stamp Act Congress, which was one of the first feats of defiance towards England. The colonies had begun to see themselves as a separate entity. The opposition to these acts led to England passing even more laws, but this time they were in order to control, rather than tax, the colonists. The first of these decrees was the Declaratory Act in 1766. This law stated that England had the right to pass any laws they wanted and the colonists would have to obey them. In order to test this mand .....

.... to vote many times to prove her point of discrimination, and had numerous encounters with bus drivers who discriminated against blacks. She was weary of the discrimination she faced due to the Jim Crow laws, which were laws were intended to prohibit "black[Americans] from mixing with white [Americans]" ("Jim Crow Laws"1). Also, due to the Jim Crow laws, blacks were required to give their seats to white passengers if there were no more empty seats. This is exactly what happened on December 1, 1955. On her way home from work, refused to give her seat to a white man and was shortly arrested (National Women's Hall of Fame1). Even t .....

.... a group of about 220,000 himself. About 80,000 men were led by Prince Eugene de Beauharnais to the right rear of Napoleon. Further to the rear was a third group, also of about 80,000 men, led by Napoleon’s brother Jerome (Lefebvre 311-312). The Russian forces were led by field marshal Mikhail Kutuzov. In the beginning, the French won most of the battles, using pontoon bridges to cross the numerous rivers and streams. However, as Napoleon advanced deeper into Russian land, his supplies did not. When Napoleon carefully planned his supply trains paths, movements, etc., he did not take into consideration the rough Russian terrain. T .....

.... see and hear, it is up to us to read between the lines, and look for the true circumstances that have resulted from this conflict. In Yugoslavia, and other countries in support of their efforts, the United States is seen as the bad guy. Very few of these people can differentiate between NATO and the United States. They view the air strikes over Kosovo as a horrific act, which has done little if anything to help the Albanian situation. The media in this area has managed to emphasize the killing of innocent civilians by NATO forces, while de-emphasizing the massive campaign of ethnic cleansing. Their leader Milosevic is seen as a great l .....
