Ive said it before 1. class ism; where you have the rich getting richer, and the poor getting poorer; if you want to see an example watch the movie titanic where they lock up the poor below while the rich got on life boats 2. monopolies; where you have large corporations driving out the competition with predator pricing [ that means selling lower than the other guy and driving them out of business and then after raising you prices, like what the oil companies have done!] and 3. slave labor; where you have people working for less than a living wage and having to live with a lot of other people in a small space where they spread contagious diseases which happened with immigrants then and now! and if they are not hiring illegal slave labor to work here for minimum wage here then they are sending jobs over there were they pay even less!

My first choise of changing anything in this world would be so there would be no more sickness, ilnesses like aids, cancer, leukemia which are killing so many people daily, including lots of kids. \nMy second choise would be to change the hate betwen nations and people of different races, belives and religions. I think this is probably the most major problem of our sociaty today at global level. It was in the past too but its more today. \n\nI will have to think and choose just 1 of this lol

Several things including Indian Removal, The Nullification crisis and introducing the "spoils system"\n\nFor more information, view the link below.

The main one I can think of is industrialization. Following the Civil War, we witnessed the birth of corporate America and the making of Getty and Rockefeller. Fortunes were made in Oil and Steel.

The Quagmire in Iraq\nThe Addiction to Oil resulting in disproportionate contribution to global warming\nThe continued piling-on of taxes and fees on small businesses while corporations get huge breaks\nAn aging population which will require some massive changes in how we deal with taking care of our parents and ourselves

The industrial revolution was under way.  \n\nConsiderable numbers of people had moved into urban areas (More than half the population was urban)\n\nGreat Britain was at war with France.

Actually, there WAS a lot of industry.  The civil war had ended, slaves were emancipated (but still very poor and discriminated against).  Most states in the West weren't states yet, just territories with no proper government.  Things were pretty busy in large cities and in Industrial New England and New York and Pennsylvania, but if there wasn't a railroad nearby, you had to take a horse or boat or just walk, so people didn't move very far away if they could help it.  I don't think there were labor usions in those times, so work conditions were pretty bad, and since medical science was pretty scarce compared to today, people died fairly young of diseases like smallpox, typhoid, cholera, etc.

Things need to change.  There are several things driving us this way, and we need leaders who care more about truth than popularity, but still have the freakin' brains to figure it out.\n\nOne of the problems is that our population is so fat and lazy we don't have any perspective.  We don't know what it is to be a third world country, we've never had to face death, we don't have to pay attention when we can just come home and watch American Idol.\n\n9/11 should have awoken us, but it doesn't look that way...

Many of the people who came to America from Europe in the 1700-1800's were people seeking religios freedom that they didn't have in Europe at that time. Much of that religios ferver has been passes through the years to the current Americans.

Consider this: We were in an ice age within the past 10,000 years. The ice from this ice age covered most of the northern hemisphere; not so much of the southern hemisphere, but a little. Since that time, glaciers have been retreating, the planet has been warming, and the oceans have been rising steadily. The vast majority of the "problems" are a continuation of the return of the earth from the ice age. \nSince the industrial revolution, humans have been emitting certain gases into the air that come from fossil fuels. These gases go into a layer in the atmosphere that traps heat. This layer was in existence before the revolution, but now is being thickened.\n\nSo, with all this said, I believe that the majority of the global warming problems are just us coming off of an ice age. however, we humans aren't helping by emitting the gases.

Those are very different questions.\n\nThe first I'd say WWI, the widescale adoption of the automobile, the general rise of automation and the decline of small-plot agriculture, the great depression, the new deal, and WWII.\n\nThe second I'd say probably the loosening of immigration restictions, the exodus from Europe preceeding the two world wars, and the rise of the united states as a world superpower.

It mostly has to do with (1) US seclusion from the world political scene until the early/mid 1900s,(2) US Self-Sufficiency that was established as a result of that seclusion and (3) The fact that no one ever imagined something such as globalization a couple centuries back.\n\nSpecifically, the US was able to grow and prosper (although not without occasional difficulty) in a geographic location that was significantly distant (and difficult to reach; crossing an ocean on flimsy sailboats is not at all simple) from continental Europe, where people, nations, rulers, etc. were battling a huge amount of surmounting problems all brought along with things such as the French Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, Nationalism, Socialism, Liberalism, riots and revolutions, wars, famines, and urbanization. The difficulty of dealing with such new ideas, developments, etc. was heightened by the fact that Europe had had a long established system of doing/seeing things.\n\nThe US, however, was mostly distant to all these developments, and not having a long established system that was being challanged, it was easier for America to go along with what they were used to. Ultimately, this "being distant from trouble" helped the US establish its own system, grow, and of course, prosper. Thus, there came a time when people did not see what the advantage of changing systems would be when their system was clearly good enough to bring about such prosperity.\n\nThe metric system was established to bring unity to science, and thus to make it more "scientific" (for example, the meter is the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299792458 of a second, the denominator of that fraction being the speed of light in a vacuum: 299792458 meters per second.). Countries outside Europe that adopted this system chose it, beacause they had no other choice. They were not significant contributers to science, and thus had to accept the established SI system, which was, not only practical, but also more precise and effective, and allowed scientists to draw conclusions, make hypotheses and establish relations more easily. The US, however, was a growing and potentially powerful country and did not necessarily need to "conform".\n\nAlthough the US scientific institutions do use the metric system today, the SI system is not widely established outside universities, institutions, etc.. Milk is still sold in gallons, and shoes in inches, for example.\n\nAt any rate, although it would theoretically be much easier for the American people to live with a system based on multiles of 10 and direct relations between units (1 liter of water is 1 kilogram, etc.), the US is now at a position where it is a world leader with an established system. It is now too late to change everything from road signs to education systems. The only link the general US has to the metric system is the fact that one yard pretty much equals one meter.\n\nBesides, like I have mentioned before, no one a couple centuries ago had or could have had imagined a phenomenon that we take for granted today: globalization. US businessmen, landowners, government, etc. probably just thought "I'm well enough the way I am, there is no need to rock the boat by forcing a new system, everyone that I do business with uses my system anyway, so what's the point?".\n\nAnyway, hope this answers your question.
