...History of Ford Motor Co. Shaun Mains Alvernia University The Ford Motor Company is an American based automobile manufacturer that was founded in 1903 by the late Henry Ford. The company pioneered the early integrated moving assembly line, fought and beat early gasoline powered automobile patents, and even survived the Great Depression. Today, Ford is the fifth largest automobile manufacturer in the world, based on sales, and is the largest family controlled company in the world (History). Henry Ford, along with 11 other investors, founded Ford Motor Company on June 16th 1903 (History). In its early years the company produced the Model A, S, K and most notably, the Model T. The popularity of the Ford Model T from 1908 through 1913 is what fueled the development of the integrated moving assembly line. The assembly line simplified the manufacturing process and made mass production possible (Company). The chassis assembly line alone went from 12.5 hours to produce a chassis, down to 1.5 hours (Company). The Ford Model T was a huge success for the automobile manufacturer. The vehicle was priced significantly lower than the competition largely in part to Henry Ford’s insistence on building integrated manufacturing plants and the utilization of the integrated moving assembly line. The company’s main goal of the time was to build a vehicle for the everyday American, and the company priced their vehicles accordingly. This achievement allowed even the poorest of Americans...

...Mary L. Dudziak, in War Time: An Idea, Its History, Its Consequences (New York: Oxford University Press, 2012) argues that the way American people view the temporality of war negatively affects how seriously the population thinks about the legal effects of war, including increased presidential power, the ways in which justice and constitutional law are altered during time of conflict, and that America’s permanent state of defense is a war in its own way. Dudziak asserts that for practical and political purposes, wartime and its consequences are present throughout a majority of American politics. Dudziak uses a varying range of primary sources throughout War Time. Mainly, Dudziak utilizes newspaper articles, speeches, photographs, and government documents. Dudziak also uses several court cases since she is a legal scholar....

The historical experience of the Anishinaabe/ Ojibwe tribe and its cultural influence, best represented in a timeline perspective that emphasizes the significant events that had a role in shaping the Ojibwe culture. The starting point of the Ojibwe history cannot be placed on a timeline; it dates back to a time before people recorded information. For this reason, Ojibwe is considered to have an oral history, in that information...

...Economics Terms and Health Care History Joshua A. Barron HCS/440 May 08, 2012 Larry Gonzales Economics Terms and Heath Care History To understand how Americans came into being with the current health care system in place today, it would behoove society to look where it began, where health care economics had its genesis, and how it evolved into the monster it is today. “The United States spends more on health care, both per capita and as a share of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), than any other country in the world. In 2009, spending on health care reached a record high $2.5 trillion, or 17.6 percent of U.S. GDP” (Center for U.S. Health System Reform, 2011, p. 1, Para 2). The health care industry is the dominating industry in the United States and it is currently controlling and dictating the lives of Americans across the nation. Many workers are weighing the facts of switching jobs because they may have to switch health care coverage, and with the high cost of health insurance many people are left out or cannot afford it. Patients complain about the care they receive and are eager to award their physician with a lawsuit. This paper will discuss the history and evolution of health care economics and the timeline of health care funding.

...Economic Terms and Health Care History LaTasha Frost HCS/440 February 25, 2014 Instructor Name William Byrd Jr. Economic Terms and Health Care History Before the 1900’s healthcare had a different perception, now in the twenty-first century healthcare is an everyday thing to Americans. Economics is the science that contracts with the distribution, the material welfare of humankind, production, or the ad consumption of goods and services. Even though there are many different reasons why healthcare economics have changed over the years, the most effective reason is health care finance and the supply and demand of care. This paper will discuss the evolution of health care economics, the history and timeline of health care funding. [pic] Doctors had more power and were paid better than before in the early part of the twentieth century. Associations, for example American Hospital Association (AHA) and American Medical Association (AMA), started in the late 1800s, developed sturdier. Work unions then employers began offering a variety of aids to workforces, with funded health care. National health insurance became connected with collectivism and the idea became disliked in the United States, which opened entries to protect the increasing costs of medicinal care for secretive health insurance. Blue Cross was recognized at the end of 1920s and it was the first large medical insurance company established back then. The 1930s saw an increasing number of health...
