The Civil War created feverish manufacturing activity to supply critical material,
especially in the North. When the fighting stopped, the stage was set for dramatic economic
growth. Wartime taxes on production had vanished, and the few taxes that remained leaned
heavily on real estate, not on business. The population flow from farm to city increased, and the
labor force it provided was buttressed by millions of newly arrived immigrants willing to work
for low wages in the mills of the North and on the railroad crews of the Midwest and West.

The federal government’s position toward economic expansion was nothing if not
accommodating. The government established tariff barriers, provided loans and grants to build a
transcontinental railroad, and assumed a studied stance of nonintervention in private enterprise.
The Social Darwinism of British philosopher Herbert Spencer and American economist William
Graham Summer privelled. The theory was that business, if left to its own devices, would
eliminate the weak and nurture the strong. But as business expanded, the rivalry heated up. In the
1880s, five railroads operating between New York and Chichago vied for traffic, and two more
were under construction. As a result of the battle, the fare between the cities decreased to $1.
Petroleum companies like wise competed savagely and, in the 1880s, many of them failed.

practitioners who had on-the-job training as barber-surgeons or physicians’ apprentices. Whether
university trained or not, none had much knowledge of the causes of disease, and the “curse”
they often recommended-bleeding, blistering, and the use of violent purgatives-were at best
ineffective and at worst lethal.

Nasredin was a good farmer. He had a large garden and many donkeys. But Nasredin was always
foolish.
Nasredin used to work in his garden helped by his son, Simon. They worked hard every day. They
never went to the market which was four miles away from their village, while the other villagers often did.
One day Nasredin said to Simon,”A lot of people often go to the market day comes, but we should go too.”
“But we don’t have money.”
“We can sell our biggest donkey to buy food and drink in the market.”
When the market day came, Nasredin and Simon with their biggest donkey went to the market. Nasredin
led the donkey and Simon followed them.
When they were walking, a villager greeted them with smile,”Poor Nasredin, donkey
is for riding, why do you walk? Ride on your donkey” Nasredin nodded and soon he rode on his donkey
while Simon walking behind them.
 After half mile walking, another villager said,”Why are you riding on your donkey while your son is
walking? He is now too tired. “Hearing this, Nasredin offered Simon to sit behind him on the donkey back.
They were too heavy for the donkey. They were so heavy that it was difficult to walk.
A man by the road asked Nasredin, “Are you going to the market?” Nasredin replied, “It is true. We
are going to sell our donkey for money.” The man commented, “You are too heavy for your donkey, he will
get tired, ill and die before you reach the market.”
Soon, Nasredin and Simon climbed down the donkey. They wanted their donkey healthy and fat to
sell. They carried their donkey on their shoulders. When they reached the market everybody got surprised
and suddenly someone asked, ”is your donkey ill, Nasredin?” “No, it is not. It is healthy,” said Nasredin
angrily. “But why are you carrying it on your shoulders, people usually ride on their donkeys,” said the
other. “We want it fatter and become more expensive,” Nasredin replied.
Another man interrupted, “Your donkey must be ill, it can’t walk, we don’t want to buy it! This man
shouted with a smile, “Hi, everybody look Nasredin wants to sell his sick donkey expensively.” All visitors
laughed at Nasredin.

I am very worried about the effect of TV, especially on our children.
First, there are a lot of violent programs on TV, and on several occasions I have caught my son
copying the actions they see in these programs.
Second, the commercials are very bad for them. Children see commercials for candies and toys,
for example, and always want to go out and buy them.
Also, sitting in front of TV set all day is bad for their eyes. All of my children wear glasses and I am
convinced it is because of the long hours they spend in front of the screen.
Finally, watching TV is not crative. I think it is very important for everybody to do something
creative, such as playing a musical instrument or painting.
I have tried to restrict their viewing hours but it has not worked. Therefore, i have decided to sell my
TV set, as this seems to be the only solution.
