There is still a need for the United States Postal Service (USPS) today then just as anytime during the history of the United States. The USPS provides valuable and equitable services to all Americans everywhere in the United States, regardless of distance from their nearest post office. “Universal Service” a key term provided in an article by the Bloomberg Business week journal, describes what the USPS provides. The cost of delivering mail in rural communities is much higher than in urban areas. The USPS chief executive officer stated “You cannot charge 46 cents to deliver a letter by snowmobile in Alaska and make it work” (Bloomberg Business, 2014). Privatization of the USPS would possibly cause regional price differences that can place many Americans in rural areas at a

"The United States Postal Service and the National Rural Letter Carriers’ Association are time honored institutions that provide a “post office on wheels” to the American public on a day‐to‐day basis. With the first rural delivery established in 1896, a century of evolution has changed the rural carrier position to what it is today. (NRLCA)

We live during a time where the world is at our fingertips. We live in a world where an apple is not just a fruit and a chip is not just something that we eat with a sandwich. Sliced bread is not the most amazing thing any more. The Unites States Postal Service (USPS) is becoming less and less of a necessity with the changes of America's needs. In order to keep up with the 21st century, the USPS needs to be reconstructed in order to meet the needs of a changing world by being accessible through the internet, being advertised more to the younger generation, and being more secure from theft and destruction.

Since 1971, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has been a self-supporting government agency that covers its operating costs with revenues generated through the sales of postage and related products and services.

The Postal Service was created by the British Parliament in 1711. In 1775 the United States postal system was established by the second continental congress with Benjamin Franklin as the first postmaster general. The Postal Service sends mail to people and businesses in the U.S. but also delivers packages. The White House is one of the postal service's biggest accomplishment because if it wasn’t for them you guys wouldn’t get mail or letters or communicate to one another from different states. “The Postal services delivers mail six days a week to nearly 143 million addresses. Every year this number increases by 2 million” (Joe Baca).

“The very rich main lobby, the northern monumental facade, and even the cow-head capitals make the U.S. Post Office unique in Fort Worth.”

For more than half a century, USPS Fort Worth has been a great source of pride to the local citizenry. Between 1933 when it opened and well into the 1980s, the post office serviced a broad section of

The United States Postal Service (USPS) has been served as government institute since 1971. During the nineteenth century, the USPS contributed to many people in several ways across the United Stated. The twentieth century brought significant growth to the USPS, including different size of package delivery service and airmail. Over the past decade, however, it has to compete with electronic mail and various package delivery companies and it causes to have bad result. The USPS faced with decreasing of total mail volume. The loss of income has induced the USPS to consider changing their system of service such as shortage of delivery days.

Mail carriers are soon to be extinct - with the use of e-mail, mailmen jobs are at stake. In the past, mail used to be delivered by someone taking it by hand to another location. Today, more and more people are sending and receiving mail by computer. This is called e-mail, or electronic mail. In the past ten years, the number of mail carriers in the United States has decreased ten percent. Most people believe, or they will agree with, that a mail carrier as a job will decrease rapidly - or even diminish- as our technology continues to advance. In some ways, such as being convenient, e-mail is better. In other ways, such as employment, mail carriers are the way to go.

around the world think that it should be restructured to keep up with today’s era. I say

THESIS: Three men in the mid-1800s had an idea to open up a mail delivery system that reached from the Midwest all the way to California.

In our constant evolving society,new advancements are always on the rise. There have been several essential technological developments in our society which had allowed us to progress, one of them being the mail carrier service we call the USPS today. Although the United States Postal Service has been replaced by several companies such as Fedex and the UPS, we should not discount the USPS for allowing their line of work to surface.

The United States Post Office was established by the Second Continental Congress in 1775. The Post Office has been part of American society for almost two centuries and through the years it has been changing with America. It was an important method for people to communicate in the past, however, is it relevant in today’s society?

The United States Postal Service has been very prominent in everyone’s lives, even if most people don’t realize it. Although, over the years many of our needs have changed and email rose to the top as a new way of sending mail, much of what the USPS had used to its advantage, such as the large amount of mail that has been sent physically, has been slowly dissipating over the last decade or so. From 2008 to 2009, the mail volume dropped by 30 billion, which is a drastic change compared to the 4 or 5 billion fluctuation between previous years (Source B). As it is evident, the postal system has changed with our growing need for faster forms of transportation of information -- subsided by email. The postal system has been extremely affected by our advances in technology and it is time that we understand that this process was inevitable, and the USPS needs to be restructured by doing Sunday delivery, and strategically closing branches to save money and accommodate to the needs of a changing world .
