Ever since 2007, I had lost my job and had trouble finding work. T was forced to become a taxi driver to provide for my family. In the beginning when I started cab driving, it was enough to sustain my family. Then things went downhill when neighbor’s states open their own casinos, making Atlantic City have competition. Added the fact, Hurricane Sandy hit about 3 years ago. Atlantic it still has not recovered from that mega storm. Since Atlantic City is only a resort/tourist city, the economy of that city went down. Four casinos closed in the last 2 years. Tourist came by less and less each day. Limousine and Uber and other transportation companies made a lot of competition for the taxicab business. With less tourist and more competition, my
While the attendees of the Charlottetown Conference all came to one final decision, there was definitely more than one point of view within the room. After failing to receive a contribution from the Province of Canada to a major railway from Halifax to Quebec (Intercolonial Railway), the three Maritimes colonies had organized the Conference in order to achieve a union between the three of them, helping the colonies to receive more political power as well as overseas investments. There were vast areas of land that the Prince Edward Island delegates were looking to sell from landlords to people who lived outside the colony. The landlords who owned these plots of land rarely fulfilled all of the requirements that were provided. The Island settlers

Social action describes actions taken by an individual to make a difference in a community. The most rewarding type of social action is through education. That is exactly what Heather Perez, archivist for the Atlantic City County Library, intended to do through a new exhibit called, “The Atlantic City Experience: La Ciudad Atlántica.” Perez, a former archivist for the Smithsonian, has been working at the library for over nine years. Her passion for history and knowledge, guided her to Atlantic City. Understanding the life of an archivist, Perez wanted the opportunity to interact with people and find historical facts about their families, ancestors, and cultures. She stated that she was “drawn to helping people find things.” The Atlantic City County library gives her those opportunities everyday. Her dedication to helping people learn through history, made her a great candidate for this assignment.

In this week’s chapter The Atlantic World which introduces the history from prehistory through 1566, there were two themes that stand out for me which are: The Big “C”s, Conquest, Commerce, Colonization, & Conversion and Race. The history resembles on the European expansion and the discovery of the Americas by Christopher Columbus. Christopher Columbus was the first person to discover the American continent. The New World was another name given to America. The American territory differed in social, economically and politically. America was divided by three societies: Aztecs, Mayan and Incan which belonged to urban societies. Colonization was a breakthrough for both continents. They adaptation was about to begin, there were new things that one continent had
On April 12, 1861, the war began when the Confederated attacked Union soldiers at Fort Sumter, South Carolina. The Civil War for the next four years was battled out in thousands of different locations. They ranged from southern Pennsylvania, Texas, Florida Coast, New Mexico, and many places in between. It was a wide range of land to fight but mainly was fought on Southern Ground. The majority of the battles that took place during this time were in the States of Tennessee and Virginia, but also in the Atlantic Ocean battles took place. The war ended in the spring of 1865 where the last battle was found at Palmito Ranch in Texas on May 13, 1865. This war was defined as, “a violent conflict that pits states against one or more organized non-state
The Battle of the Atlantic was the longest lasting battle of World War II. The Battle was to control the Atlantic Shipping Lanes and lasted from September 3rd 1939 to May 8th 1945, mainly in The Atlantic Ocean, but later spread to the United States and The Caribbean Sea. The Battle of the Atlantic was originally fought by Britain and Canada against Germany until 1940 when the Italians joined the German side. In 1941 the United States joined Britain and Canada in the battle, leading to the defeat of Germany. A significant even that lead up to The Battle of the Atlantic was when U-30 (U-boat 30) attacked Athenia, the passenger liner, a British auxiliary cruiser, within just hours of the British declaring war on Germany, killing 112 civilians that were aboard. These ships were the ones the submarines were told not to attack by The German Navy. This is what some say was the beginning of The Battle of the Atlantic. The Germans were also humiliated from World War One and felt they had not deserved to lose and have the harsh treatment put upon them, as outlined in The Treaty of Versailles.

World War two was one of the most important events that happened in history. It consisted of many battles that took place in Europe or in the Pacific that decided the fate of the war. The Battle of the Atlantic was a an important battle because it decided who would control the Atlantic trade routes during the war. If the Axis Powers got a hold of these trade routes then Great Britain (Germany 's greatest threat) would have suffered and it would have gave Germany a chance to win the European Front. One other example of a decisive battle was the Attack on Pearl Harbor. That battle forced the U.S. to enter the war and it essentially marked the beginning of the end to the War. If the United States had never been drawn into the war then Germany

The concept of mental accounting can be applied to understand why it is difficult to find a taxi when the weather is bad. The article “Mental Accounting Matters”, uses the example of New York City taxi drivers to explain the mechanism of the taxi business. The drivers rent out the cars for 12 hours a day based on fixed fee. “They are then entitled to keep all the revenues they earn during that half-day” (Thaler 201). Therefore, the drivers must decide during which time of the day they want to rent out the cab and also decide how many hours they want to drive the cab (they cannot drive for 12 hours continuously). Based on the above example, it can be extrapolated that most cities have same business plan and involves drivers making key decisions.
