Moving Train Thesis

Larry Page once said, “Especially in technology, [we] need revolutionary change, not incremental change.” Whether he is speaking about the Transcontinental Railroad system or the latest iPhone, what he says is true. If change is going to happen, it needs to bring a revolution of some kind along with it, otherwise, it will just become lost in history. This makes us wonder, how did the railroad system affect the US? The railroad system benefited the US most economically by industrializing towns it ran through, lowering shipping costs, and allowing for mass imports and exports.

As Robin Sharma once said, “Change is hard at first, messy in the middle, and gorgeous at the end“. As Sharma said change can be hard, as it was for the railroad, but in the end the impact can change a nation. On May 10, 1869 the Transcontinental railroad was opened. Since then the railroad has permanently transformed America. The transcontinental railroad transformed America because of the effects on American Indians, publishing travel information, and creating the Chinese Exclusion act.

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneer fullback Mike "The A-Train" Alstott remains an all-time fan favorite for his accomplishments on and off the field. He played 12 seasons as a fullback, racking up 5,088 yards rushing; 71 touchdowns (a team record); six Pro Bowls; and a 2002 Super Bowl championship. He was also injured nearly 50 times and was given prescription painkillers to get him through the pain and back on the field. Fortunately, Alstott, now 41 years old and a head coach for a St. Petersburg high school football team, came through it all without experiencing an overdose or becoming dependent on painkillers, something he credits to having trainers and physicians on his side who helped him understand how to take them safely.

Fifteen thousand men. One thousand- two hundred dead. Twenty thousand pounds of bones. One thousand, seven hundred and fifty- six miles of railways. The creation of the transcontinental railroad began in 1863. It originated in the northern states and made its way to the west. Nobody knew that one day this new technology would lead to the future that we live today. During the time that the railroad was in the process of being created, many things were escalating in the US, all for the best. The Transcontinental Railroad transformed the United States more economically by creating new opportunities, improving transportation, and boosting imports and exports.

These are some examples of how he acts out when he experiences his emotions.

Similar to the light bulb’s legacy of ideas, the transcontinental railroad paved the way for new transportation. “The transcontinental railroad act is the first step in creating a continental common market.” This quote by, Charles R. Morris, defines the wide-spread uprising in the American Economy after establishing a railroad that would last a lifetime. The Transcontinental Railroad economically transformed America because of the trade and commerce it brought. Now capable of fast communication, we could quickly and cheaply of transport goods and ourselves. t’s wide impact developed a independent country were we could efficiently practice a free enterprise. Bringing in trade, shipping and new exports/imports, it elevated our economy to a higher level of technology.

The Transcontinental Railroad was responsible for many impacts in the United States. However, the category that had the greatest impact was the Social category. The impact of the Transcontinental Railroad can be divided into three categories. Political, economic, and social.

After we got done talking individually we talked as a group about setting up our wagon train. The first thing about the wagon train the we discussed was that thing we will be gathering together like medicine just in case someone gets sick on the trail. So the medicines that we gathered were sage, willow bark, bee pollen, red clover, and beet root. The other thing that we talked about was who is going to be our wagon train leader. After we thought about what type of things would make a good leader like someone that is responsible for most of the decisions on the trail, someone that can tell when to start moving and when to stop moving for the day, and someone that can find somewhere nice to camp for the night. So after all of that we pick Franklin

Plus, when he sees his family sad because of his death, we see how much he cares about family and friendship, but it also makes us think he might struggle to fit in with others. Lastly, when he stands up for his friend

Imagine being taken on a train and leaving to another country knowing that your parents are in danger and that you might never see them again. Could you handle that, well these kids did. Many Jewish children got to go on the Kinder Transport. The Kinder Transport is where Many kids went on a train to a different country to be safe from Hitler and the Nazis. Many Jewish parents helped Jewish children go on the Kinder Transport and help them pack for the Transport.

He always tends to make a big commotion about everything. He also develops strong opinions about other people without even meeting them or even talking to them. And when people do get past his wrong first impressions, he still finds some way to dislike them.

Orphan trains and Carlisle and the ways people from the past undermined the minorities and children of America. The film "The orphan Trains" tells us the story of children who were taken from the streets of New York City and put on trains to rural America. A traffic in immigrant children were developed and droves of them teamed the streets of New York (A People's History of the United States 1492-present, 260). The streets of NYC were dirty, overcrowded, and dangerous. Just as street gangs had female auxiliaries, they also had farm leagues for children (These are the Good Old Days, 19). During the time of the late 1800's and early 1900's many people were trying to help children. Progressive reformers, often called

Today I look back at my home. Or to put it correctly, what used to be my home. The Americans and their hired Chinese and Irish men are, as we speak, running the tracks down that divide our land. Not theirs, but our land. These people are laying down tracks separating our lives as we speak. Our entire way of operating will be destroyed. And it doesn’t seem like it only affected their side, but our American side as well. They can now possibly be viewed as a greedy nation for the ill-treatment of all those immigrants. It seems the idea of The Transcontinental Railroad has more downs that ups; injuring it workers, taking down Native American Homes, and showing how

“The themes of the play are Two Trains Running is a political play that makes extended reference to the black power movement and its impact on poor urban communities like the Hill District of Pittsburgh. The issue of continued white oppression of African Americans and the response of the black community during the 1960s is at the foreground of the characters ' experience. The community surrounding the restaurant is undergoing a major redevelopment, probably one which has been precipitated by the social initiatives that came in the wake of the civil rights movement. However, the legal rights and privileges that the African American community won during the 1950s and 1960s do not seem necessarily to extend to impoverished city-dwellers. An underlying sense of tragedy and hopelessness pervades even short-term victories such as the city awarding Memphis thirty-five thousand dollars, since Memphis remains estranged from his wife and has the foreboding..”
