"How The Tycoons Became So Rich"

   
                                                      "How The Tycoons Became So Rich"

      In my opinion I think the most important aspects of Carnegie's was important for them was to make a lot of profit. Who where the tycoons and how did they get so wealthy? The had a mind set for business they also had bad ethics which were bad for the consumers. The also attempted to control through vertical integration as much as possible, buying all the coal, iron, mines, railroads and more. What is a robber baron? is a ruthlessly powerful U.S. capital or industrialist considered to have become wealthy by exploiting natural resources. Like Rockefeller, Carnegie, Vanderbilt, Morgan. What is a social Darwinism and why would

rich men like the Darwinism philosophy. Darwinism described how species flourished and passed their traits on to a next generation while the other did not like it because they thought being rich was a sign of gods favor and being poor a sight of being lazy or inferior.
Cornelius Vanderbilt built         himself a fortune by selling most of his ships to the union navy and started his career of a railroad tycoon. Became the richest man in the whole world.http://goo.gl/Z7vd7K

The new technology and construction

In the reading compiled by Danny Blas technology helped america reach the sky. Technology also changed the way we recieve information dramatically. Technology also helped how people moved around by incorporating trains, subways, streetcars, bridges and bicycle paths. Technology has also change the way we read and learn since potography helped newspapers to become more efficient since they were printed out faster  and made it easy to learn because they were easy to access. 
     In the second reading compiled by Danny Blas that talks about passive houses. A passive house is an enviornmentally responsible house withouth traditionally heating and air conditioning. Passive houses are different than traditionally houses because they are more expensive. It is also good because it reduces the amount of enrgy up to 25 dollars a month. The reading also states that some residents living in expensive neighboorhood are against the new passive houses because they were jealous and did not want another class of people living with them . A quote that was incorporated in the reading was " they probably wanted something craftsman here" This means that the people who said the quote sarcastically wanted the same style of house in their neighboorhood. 
    As an overall technology changed the way americans live because they incorporated new innovative products and buildings took in mind all the safety regulations to be safe and create less pollution. Because back then they had no control of the pollution created by the factories nor building safety regulations and risked peoples health. having this new industrial revolution changed the lives of thousands of people Since there was a big economic effect and created alot of jobs for the people.
