The
economic effects of the steel labor unions on the steel industry in the U.S. after World War II
Introduction
The analysis of current situation in the world steel industry and particularly in the US steel production shows us that there have been witnessed a significant downfall in this industry since World War II; a lot of companies are at the threat of closure, the workers’ wages are being reduced, the competitive ability of the firms is reducing as well. At the same time the power of labor unions in powerful industries and the mechanism protecting the level of life of workers in this industry are rather strong compared to other industries. Though currently the role of labor unions is somewhat decreasing, they are playing a leading role in the formation of production costs; and it is natural that a lot of researchers state that it was primarily the formation of labor unions and the consequence of their actions that the companies started losing in efficiency and competitive force.

The aim of this research paper is to analyze the factors that influence the development of steel industry in USA after World War II. Main thesis of the research paper is that labor unions were only partly responsible for the downfall of steel industry and that current situation depends mostly on the factors that are not related with the actions of labor unions. The statistical evidence illustrating the output in steel industry in different groups of countries is given to support the thesis and the main driving forces of international and local steel production are analyzed. The role of labor unions and other factors is compared and the conclusion is made that current situation in steel production is defined mostly by the global relation between capacity and demand for steel, and other corresponding factors.

When
a teenage girl gets pregnant, this phenomenon is called teenage pregnancy. Teenage pregnancy is treated differently in many cultures. A great number of countries, mostly in Asia treat it like a regular thing due to their traditions and peculiarities of the culture. But the Western civilization treats teenage pregnancy like a negative phenomenon, because young people are supposed to study and have normal years of life, without burden and big problems. Unfortunately, teenage pregnancy is quite a frequent thing. Every day we can hear about the cases when a 15-year-old girl has got pregnant and parents do not know what to do. Teenagers are too young to be allowed to get married, and a child commonly lives in single parent family (very often it is difficult to identify the father of the baby). The most common decision of the teenagers and their parents is to get rid of pregnancy. Abortion in such a young age is quite a regular thing nowadays, because a baby is a great responsibility and one can not study and work having it. On the other hand abortion influences the girl’s body badly and it is the next problem.

Nationalism
is a form of patriotism based upon the identification of a group of individuals with a nation. Nationalism is quite a young term, which appeared several hundreds years ago. It is characterised by the love and devotion to one’s native motherland. People who are called nationalists are often understood totally wrong. Most of modern people compare nationalism to Nazism, a political movement of and ideology of the Nazi Germany and Italy of the first half of the XXth century. These terms sound alike but have completely different meanings, so people who criticize nationalism just possess poor background knowledge and low level of education, because, frankly speaking every person who lives in his native country should respect its culture and traditional elements. Moreover, without nationalism the development of the ethnic and national identity is impossible and this identity makes the world different and every country unique. Read the rest of this entry »

the year 1973 the issue of alternative resources for energy and fuels production gained more and more importance. Desire to have healthy and independent economy lead to development of new solutions for the problem. One of them is a hydrogen fuels. There are different opinions and predictions whether the hydrogen fuel is the fuel of the future, but let me first start with the development of it and then continue with the future expectations.

British scientist Henry Cavendish first identified the Hydrogen as distinct element in the year 1766. Then the first hydrogen balloon flight was launched in the year 1783. Then the investigation of this element started to gain more technological and scientific character. In 1800 English scientists William Nicholson and Sir Anthony Carlisle were the first who discovered how hydrogen could be extracted from the water. Later the process of spiting water into hydrogen and oxygen gases by applying electric current to water was called “electrolysis”. The development and usage of hydrogen started to be more popular especially after the year 1973 when the OPEC made an oil embargo. The supply shock that the country had experienced forced to think then the era of cheap petroleum had ended and that there was a need for alternative solutions. From this point the development of hydrogen fuel cells conventional commercial applications began. The government sponsorship is continued till this day and there are a lot of expectations that are put into the project. The movement started from the Hydrogen Economy Miami Energy Conference (THEMEC) held in March of 1974. Read the rest of this entry »
