Explain how changing American demographics have influenced housing patterns from 2000 to today.

Seafoam:

@Isry

Isry:

Okay so what are the current American demographics.

Seafoam:

Inhabitants in millions 2021* 331.42

Seafoam:

I cant seem to see a demographic summary for this year

Seafoam:

Demographics of the United States 18–44 years 36.5% (2010) 45–64 years 26.4% (2010) 65 and over 13.0% (2010)

Seafoam:

All I have so far is "The increase in population has influenced the housing pattern greatly because as the population grows the amount of houses must also, causing the houses in some areas to be more packed together for more houses to fit."

Seafoam:

@AZ

Seafoam:

Ok you know what I'll just submit it, I've been stuck on this for days and I cannot take it anymore

Seafoam:

Unless you have anything to add to the answer?

Seafoam:

Hello?

Isry:

Hold on one second. Sorry was on lunch.

Isry:

Alright so this is more about the increase in elderly population I think. One of the largest generations in American history (baby boomers) all are either hitting the later stages of life or hit those in 2000. This increase has put a massive burden on the healthcare system as well as seeing a lot of this demographic move out of their homes into nursing homes which will in turn change the demographics moving into those houses.

Seafoam:

Oh

Seafoam:

Sorry I had just thought you left me hanging

Isry:

No worries. Hopefully that helps you!

Seafoam:

And I need help on four more questions too.. because I submitted that and I got four wrong could you please look at that?

Isry:

Sure which ones?

Seafoam:

Why did Poland and the Ukraine become industrial hubs of Eastern Europe in the late 1800–1900? Due to vast transportation networks Because they have temperate climates Because of their access to the sea Due to having an educated workforce Because of the Warsaw Pact

Seafoam:

It is not "Due to vast transportation networks"

Isry:

Try access to the sea. The real reason is that they were both rich in natural resources, but that's not an option here.

Seafoam:

Ok, All of the following explain the shift in U.S. manufacturing from the Rust Belt to the Sun Belt EXCEPT a growing labor pool available land lower wages access to transportation networks increased government regulations

Seafoam:

Its not available land

Isry:

Yeah the answer was access to transportation networks.

Seafoam:

What two innovations allowed Great Britain to have a greater advantage over the rest of the world during the Industrial Revolution? Fordism and assembly lines Steamships and railways Outsourcing and cargo shipping High levels of educated citizens and a strong primary sector English as a lingua franca and progressive politics

Seafoam:

Its not Outsourcing and cargo shipping

Isry:

High levels of educated citizens.

Seafoam:

Oh ok, All of the following are reasons why Dubai has become an attractive site for business and industry in the modern era EXCEPT it has a steady flow of regional and global capital it has a ready labor force there is commercial and political connectivity the availability of natural resources it is an ideal location to distribute products globally

Seafoam:

Its not it is an ideal location to distribute products globally

Isry:

Natural Resources.

Seafoam:

Ok thank you!

Seafoam:

Now two of those were wrong

Seafoam:

I have one more attempt

Seafoam:

What two innovations allowed Great Britain to have a greater advantage over the rest of the world during the Industrial Revolution? Fordism and assembly lines Steamships and railways Outsourcing and cargo shipping High levels of educated citizens and a strong primary sector English as a lingua franca and progressive politics

Seafoam:

So its not Outsourcing and cargo shipping or High levels of educated citizens and a strong primary sector

Seafoam:

And then All of the following explain the shift in U.S. manufacturing from the Rust Belt to the Sun Belt EXCEPT a growing labor pool available land lower wages access to transportation networks increased government regulations

Seafoam:

So its not available land or access to transportation networks

Isry:

These are such terrible options. I need to know what you know about these topics.

Seafoam:

Well I know assembly lines are when everyone is working on a long table and everyone has one job to be done repetitively. This caused the workers to not be required to be highly skilled and for production to be faster

Seafoam:

Fordism is just the word for mass production

Seafoam:

And I have about 20 minutes left

Seafoam:

Well less actually

Isry:

These questions are so specific to your curriculum it's hard to be able to help you.

Seafoam:

Would it help if I just copy and pasted my lesson on here?

Isry:

Probably. I'll try to get to it.

Seafoam:

As you have explored the information so far, you might have noticed that much of the modern global economy has diverged from traditional economic activities. Although less-developed countries still rely greatly on agriculture, many of the world's countries now have labor forces and revenue based largely in newer service industries—even countries rich in natural resources such as Canada and Australia. What forces have made the global economy this way? The Industrial Revolution played a big role in the development of the modern economy in many countries around the world. You may recall the Industrial Revolution was a period of change that caused significant shifts in how people worked and lived. In time, industrialization has spread from its places of origin to regions around the world. Explore the timeline below to learn more about the development and spread of industrial production around the globe.

Seafoam:

1760 The Industrial Revolution began in Manchester, England, and southern Scotland in the second half of the 18th century. Engineers and inventors created new mechanical devices focused on improving the extraction and processing of the region’s geographical resources—iron, coal, and wool. The British government attempted to maintain their manufacturing advantage by banning the export of machinery and skilled workers.

Seafoam:

1807 Two British manufacturers broke the British ban and began operations in Belgium. Located just across the English Channel from Great Britain and rich with coal reserves, Belgium became continental Europe’s first industrialized country.

Seafoam:

Mid-1800's During the mid-1800s, industrialization slowly spread into France and Germany in Europe and the United States in North America. The Rhine-Ruhr Valley in Germany, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands; the Mid-Rhine region of Germany, France, and Luxembourg; and the northern Po Valley in Italy became leading European industrial areas. The Northeast and Great Lakes regions became the most industrialized portions of the United States. Access to water was a key component of industrialization. Water was used for transportation of goods and to create steam power.

Seafoam:

Mid-1800s-1900s Industrialization also emerged in Eastern Europe, especially Russia, spreading to areas with rich natural resources like coal and water. Industrial areas near Moscow and St. Petersburg emerged during the late 1800s, and industrial pockets near the Volga, Urals, and Kuznetsk followed in the 1900s. Parts of Ukraine and southern Poland also became industrial hubs.

Seafoam:

1870s-1950s During the early 20th century in the United States, industrialism changed rapidly with the introduction of railroad transportation and technological developments, such as the mass production of automobiles by Henry Ford and the mass production of steel by Andrew Carnegie.

Seafoam:

1950s-1980s After World War II, Japan began rapidly industrializing in an effort to recover from the economic devastation of the war. At first, the country manufactured inexpensive consumer products. In time, however, it became a center of production for goods ranging from cars to stereos.

Seafoam:

1990s - present In recent decades, industrialization has spread rapidly through Southeast Asia with the aid of government support and the development of a large export market. South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore became known as the “Asian Tigers” during the 1980s and 1990s for their powerful industrial growth.

Seafoam:

And thats just one slide

Seafoam:

Impact of Railroads Perhaps the most recognizable new technology of the Industrial Revolution is the railroad. Rail transport originated in England in the early 1800s as a means to transport coal between the mines and the canals. These early railways served the purpose of connecting industries with markets in order to transport goods more quickly. The first trains were steam locomotives, which drew power from steam engines that operated by burning coal, wood, or oil. Ironically, the first trains transported the very material they used as fuel. Eventually, trains were used as mass transit for people, as well as goods. Over the years, trains have evolved through electric power, diesel power, and now high speed rail. Railways introduced a quicker means of transportation and had a profound effect on agriculture, the economy, and society as a whole. Perishable goods, such as dairy products, could now be transported faster and farther to new markets. As a result, people's diets improved, and their standards of living rose. Likewise, as railways spread throughout Europe and abroad, the need for materials and labor to construct new railroads created more economic opportunities. Finally, as railways became more connected, suburbs began to form. Factory workers were able to move out of the inner cities and commute to work. Due to extensive railways, opportunities for traveling expanded and communications vastly increased.

Seafoam:

Fordism and assembly lines?

Isry:

Railways and steamboats for the English one

Seafoam:

Oh

Seafoam:

Ok I'll try that for that question

Isry:

And try increased government regulations

Seafoam:

Ok then, thank you for all your help!

Seafoam:

I get no more attempts after this

Seafoam:

Hey I got them, thanks!

Isry:

Not a problem. Sorry about the other attempts. Just make sure you look through what your lesson is specifically saying next time. That'll help eliminate some of the confusion.
