When the United States Steel Corporation was created in 1902, it was the largest corporation America had known up to that time.

It produced twice as much steel as all of its domestic competitors put together. Today, the United States Steel Corporation produces about 20 percent of the steel that is made in this country. Today, domestic competitors produce more than three times as much steel as does the United States Steel Corporation.

Answer:

United States Steel Corporation is a steel producer company created in 1901 by J.P. Morgan and Elbert H. Gary, from the fusion of several steel mills, which enabled its CEO, Andrew Carnegie, to increase its market share in the United States from 10% to 30% from 1880 to 1900.

With industrialization following the Civil War, the growth in steel demand increased eightfold from 1880 to 1900, reaching 10 million tonnes, making the United States the world's largest producer. Over the next thirteen years this production tripled. In 1913, they produced as much as Germany, the United Kingdom and France combined.

The importance of US Steel only increased during the twentieth century. In 1980, a year before the inauguration of Ronald Reagan, it was the largest integrated steel production company in the United States, employing 120,000 workers. However, during the 1980s, automation, along the lines of large Japanese companies, led to a number of layoffs: ten years later, around 20,000 employees were enough to achieve the same result.

Describe Locke's reasoning regarding how governments were formed from
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

Natural state of men was too free. Need for governments to maintain law and order.

Explanation:

John Hobbes believed that the 'natural state' of men and women was too free. It was necessary for societies to form organisations/governments to maintain certain restrictions and limitations for men and women so that everyone enjoyed equal rights and freedom.

In this way, governments were formed from a state of nature because humans have the tenancy to do both good and bad when too much of freedom is given to them.

Yes, I find this argument compelling because without an organisatinal body, humans would do whatever they want to do. Certain rules and regulations should be maintained so that no one subjugates another individual.

Imagine living in Europe as the Renaissance was beginning. What are some of the problems you might have? Can you think of ways t
seraphim [82]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Some of the problems that I might have at the beginning of the Renaissance could have been the frequent attacks of the Catholic Church due to my ideas of freedom of speech, questioning the existence of a supreme god, and my constant search to find more and better truths to answer questions that in the past were only answered by the church's view and teachings.

Can you think of ways to solve the problems?

Yes, trying to inform and educate more people that the dark ages were gone. The Medieval Age was gone and that humans are able to use reason to learn new things, be free, and grow. The more people would learn to read and have access to education, the better. No more control through religious beliefs.

During the Renaissance, the Catholic Church was increasingly seen as a corrupt institution with too much power.

That is when the concept of "Humanism" was introduced, which meant more respect for the human being and his possibility to increase knowledge through reason.
