...In the first episode of North and South, we follow a family who moves from southern England to northern England. The story takes place during the Victorian era. It is also during this period that major changes and developments took place in nearly all areas. Advances were made in medical and technological – Wee see how they travel with the train to the north - areas of life which led to changes in population and growth. It was during this period that the Industrial Revolution flourished. At the same time, the female oppression slowly stopped and women began to have roles outside the household. It was also in this period that there were doubts about mans predicted path on earth. In the episode, we clearly see how life in the crowded city is. The sky is always gray, not because of the weather, but because of smoke from the factories. The massive overpopulation was the rea-son people moved from the country to the cities where they could find work. The consequence was, however, poor conditions and lack of freedom. At the time, there were no unions to support the workers and help them get their rights. However, it can be seen in the episode, how the work-ers gather and hold meetings. This is a sign of constructing the first trade unions. Unions that created the basis for the rights we know today. Every day the workers live suppressed from the factory owners. Some of these things are seen in the first episode. Here we get familiar with a local mill-owner named Mr. Thornton. He...

...In 1820, the North and South were somewhat different. By 1860, the North and South were on two different planets. What happened in the North and South to widen the differences? How did these changes affect the lives of all people in each section and their views on people in the other section? Be thorough and talk about economic, social, and cultural changes much more than political changes. The North and The South The North and South were very different by the 1860's. Several changes took place within the nation during this time from an onset of events happening after the 1820's. Inside of America, slavery became a major issue that tore the nation into two. Northerners favored equality for all, while contrarily Southerners supported the bondage of slaves to continue the labor of cotton productions, and ultimately, to ensure white supremacy. “After abolition in the North, slavery became the 'peculiar institution' of the of South – an institution unique to southern society” (417). This was also another large factor which shaped the regions. Overall, between the 1820's and 1860's, many economical, social, cultural and political changes happened which divided the nation into two. The occurrence of several events widened the differences between the North and the South. Despite the Northerners hopes that slavery would eventually die out and equality for all would regulate the nation, “the institution of slavery survived the crisis of the American Revolution and continued to...

...BACKGROUND OF THE COMPANY Northern Airlines merged with Southeast Airlines to create the fourth largest U.S. carrier in January 2008. The new North–South Airline inherited both an aging fleet of Boeing 727-300 aircraft and Stephen Ruth. Stephen was a tough former Secretary of the Navy who stepped in as new president and chairman of the board. Peg Jones on the other hand is the vice president for operations and maintenance. DEFINE THE PROBLEM Stephen’s objective is to gear the company’s financial performance towards stability and continuous growth. This made him concern that the aging fleet of Boeing 727-300 aircraft’s maintenance cost may impede realization of this goal. The significant difference in the reported B727-300 maintenance costs (from ATA Form 41s) both in the airframe and engine areas between Northern Airlines and Southeast Airlines made him to probe through Peg Jones’ assistance on determining the quantitative and graphical report of the following : • Correlation of the average fleet age to direct airframe maintenance costs • Linear relationship between the average fleet age and direct engine maintenance costs CASE FACTS AND INFORMATION (INCLUDING LIMITATIONS & CONSTRAINTS) In addition to the aging formulas below, Peg constructed the average age of Northern and Southeast B727-300 fleets by quarter since the introduction of that aircraft to service by each airline in late 1993 and early 1994 respectively. TOTAL FLEET HOURS = TOTAL DAYS...

...growing divide between the North and the South was the issue of slavery. The North had become industrialized. They created many factories and had a large shipping and fishing industries in which they didn’t need the use of slaves as much as the South. The winters were long and cold, so, there weren’t many months for farming as in the South and there was not a lot of flat land. The North had a lot of mountains and rocky soil that wouldn’t help with the farming, either. The South’s economy, on the other hand, relied heavily on the use of slaves. The climate and the soil of the South were good for growing warm weather crops such as tobacco and cotton. The South had massive plantations and farms everywhere and they relied on the use of slaves to farm this land. In turn, the issue of slavery caused a lot of turmoil between the North and the South. The North, for the most part, was against slavery in the South and didn’t want to see it expand to the Western states and territories. The North’s leaders saw economic and political advantages to leaving that area open to settlement by farmers and the working class. The North viewed slavery as a moral issue; degrading and cruel. The South, on the other hand, wanted to protect its influence in the federal government, proposing that a balance should be between free and slave states as the Union expanded. They saw slavery as a necessary “must’ and a way of life. Both, the North and the South were trying to extend their...

...The battle of the North and South continues. General Robert E Lee retreated from General Ulysses S Grant after the battle of Gettysburg which was the turning point in the war resulting in the surrender. Additional battles lead to ultimate meeting finalizing the Loss of the war. When Grant and Lee met at the Appomattox courthouse, they gave each other as much respect as possible. When they met Lee said “It would be useless and therefore cruel to provoke the further effusion of blood”. Grant let the soldiers keep their small weapons and horses. Grant also gave the soldiers provisions, so they could eat and have them respect him. One of the most important things that Grant did for the soldiers, is that he let Lee and the soldiers go...

...Background THE NORTH-SOUTH AIRLINE Northern airlines merged Southeast Airlines to create the fourth largest U.S. carrier in which it inherited both an aging fleet of Boeing 737-300 aircraft and Stephen Ruth. As the new president of the airline, Stephen’s first concern is to create a financially solid company since it is a common presumption for airline industries that maintenance costs rise with the age of aircrafts. He noticed that there have been significant differences in the reported B727-300 maintenance costs both in the airframe and engine areas between Northern and Southeast Airlines, with Southeast having the newer fleet. He asked Peg Jones, Vice President for Operations and Finance to investigate on this issue and to know whether there was a direct relationship between average fleet age and direct engine maintenance costs. Definition of Problem Peg Jones must be able to determine if there was a correlation between the average fleet and the maintenance cost. She must also find out if the average fleet age is related to the direct engine machine costs. Jones must be able to provide his findings to Stephen Ruth, who is the new president and chairman of the board of the two airlines, for them to be able to properly investigate and address the issue. Facts/Info/Limitation/Constraints The following are the available data to be used to help Ms. Jones in the determination if there was a correlation between average fleet and the direct maintenance costs. The...

...Case 3 – Panasonic and Japan’s Changing Culture 1. What were the triggers of cultural change in Japan during the 1990s? How is cultural change starting to affect traditional values in Japan? The triggers to Japan changing culture came by way of the “new kids on the block” thinking and becoming more focused on individualism than collectivism. Those participating in the new Japan no longer believe in the Japan is moving towards more individualism than collectivism after the economic bubble. Nonetheless, this is a good opportunity for Japan to adapt to the globalization world and be more competitive. The cultural change will lead to greater mobility of employees, which means people will move around jobs more than before 1.What were triggers of culture change in Japan during the 1990s? how is cultural change starting to affect traditional values in Japan? Cultural change in Japan was triggered by the economic recession in the 1990’s. Traditional Confucian values focused on loyalty, high moral and ethical values and set the pathway for relationships with others in traditional Japanese businesses. When the generation born after 1964 lacked the same commitment to traditional Japanese value as their parents but they grew up in a world that was richer, where western ideas were beginning to make themselves felt, and where the possibilities seemed greater. They did not want to be tied to a company for life, they become a salary man. Traditional ways of doing business and...

...North vs. South No matter what skin color, religion, culture or even ethnicity, everyone deserves to get treated the same. That is how most of the people today see things as, but back then everyone was in a different situation. The South and North did not agree in many things, and the main issue was slavery. The northern and southern states varied in a lot of situations like that, which eventually had them leading to the Civil War. There were economic, social, and even political issues that was taking over. Anyone now can say that they rather live in North America than South because of the problems they both had. North and South America in the 1800’s was really different from each other in many ways, however it’s hard to believe from this...

...After the war between North Korea and South Korea the North stayed communist but the South went back to its natural state meaning that it was not communist. -- Well, North Korea and South Korea went to war in the late 40's or early 50's (before then, Korea was one whole country.). The economy and government are very different between the two countries. South Korea is a perfectly good country. They have cell phones and cars and internet and they're a democracy (things you probably take for granted if you live in the US or Canada or South Korea or pretty much any other free country). But in North Korea things are different. Kim Jong ll rules over North Korea. In North Korea, people are pretty much brainwashed from a young age that the ruler of the country is always right, no matter what, and there's nothing you can do about that. North Korea doesn't have internet, and even though there's a few buses there, there's no such thing as a traffic jam there. They just started allowing cell phones, only a few people have them. International calls and texts aren't allowed. North Korea is basically a country that's closed off from the rest of the world. It's very difficult to leave the country. You might not be able to leave without a good reason, and if you do get to leave you might not be able to come back. It's pretty hard to travel there too- you can't just hop on a plane and fly there. Of course people do escape from time to time- but most people don't even try, don't even think...

...When talking about segregation and racism after emancipation, most people’s first thought is of the Jim Crow laws and the South. Rarely do people know that the North was just as bad as the South when it came to segregation and racism towards the Black communities. All over America, Blacks had to use separate restrooms, water fountains, waiting rooms, hotels and even had to go to the back of a restaurant to pick up their food. Unlike the South, the North was against slavery, however, they still did not want the newly freed Blacks to live in the North because they saw them as unequal. In 1861, when the slaves were going to be freed by the National Government, the South felt that they were abusing their power and going against the constitution so they threatened to secede from the Union. In reality, the South was just using the...

...NORTH AND SOUTH NORTH AND SOUTH by ELIZABETH GASKELL 1 ELIZABETH GASKELL 2 NORTH AND SOUTH First published in serial form in Household Words in 1854-1855 and in volume form in 1855. Republished 2012 by 27 Northen Grove Manchester M20 2NL www.malcsbooks.com 3 ELIZABETH GASKELL 4 NORTH AND SOUTH VOLUME I On its appearance in 'Household Words,' this tale was obliged to conform to the conditions imposed by the requirements of a weekly publication, and likewise to confine itself within certain advertised limits, in order that faith might be kept with the public. Although these conditions were made as light as they well could be, the author found it impossible to develope the story in the manner originally intended, and, more especially, was compelled to hurry on events with an improbable rapidity towards the close. In some degree to remedy this obvious defect, various short passages have been inserted, and several new chapters added. With this brief explanation, the tale is commended to the kindness of the reader; 'Beseking hym lowly, of mercy and pite, Of its rude makyng to have compassion.' ____ 5 ELIZABETH GASKELL 6 NORTH AND SOUTH CHAPTER I 'HASTE TO THE WEDDING' 'Wooed and married and a'.' dith!' said Margaret, gently, 'Edith!' But, as Margaret half suspected, Edith had fallen asleep. She lay curled up on the sofa in the back drawing-room in Harley Street, looking very lovely in her white muslin and blue ribbons.

...During the mid-nineteenth century, the south permitted and defended slavery as oppose to northerners and other European countries. Southerners believed that slaves was the key for their stern production of cotton, the basis of their economy. Whereas the northern moral disagreed toward slavery, even though slave’s benefited everyone, except slaves. These different beliefs led up to the inevitable breakup of the Union. Throughout history the concept of slavery had conflicting views about treatment and advantages towards African Americans, up to the point that the north and the south were at the brink of war. Certain citizen’s believed African Americans faced racial prejudice in the the north no less than in the south which came to light the change that need’s to be done concerning slavery. Southerner’s felt the need to defend slavery using anything that benefitted, specifically religion, so that...

The confederacy was also counting on help from europe to help fight the union. But the North had many advantages a well. The North had more population and more military power. The confederacy baited the union into their own territory where the union did not know the grounds. The union lost the battle due to the confederacy's amount of supplies. The union had more money and more railroads than the south. The union had more factories than the south which meant that the north could process things faster.
