Sherman's Anti-Trust Act Of 1890
Professor and Class,
I first learn about “trusts” working in my father’s grocery store. Some customers would come into the store and ask if they could get X or Y to trust. My father would get out this thick book and write the name of the customer and the list of products. He would hand over the product without collecting the money; back then, I was looking for the customer to hand over the money, but he/she would quietly exit the store. This was not good for business, because when he goes to the market place to purchase his goods, he always have to pay for his products. A concept I am still trying to grasp because at age 89, he continue to do the same thing.
According to (ourdocument.gov), the Sherman’s Anti-trust Act of 1890 succeeded for

    In the late nineteenth century, the United States of America saw companies flourish. Advances in technology greatly increased output and lowered costs of many goods; people were also making more money and the nation was truly prospering. Due to the booming economy, a great deal of changes occurred. Companies started to grow at a faster rate, and soon there were enormous companies that seemed to rule their individual industries. It quickly became apparent that some firms were monopolizing the industries, making prices higher and lessening the competitiveness of the market. Many companies were also fixing prices, forcing other businesses to pay ridiculous amounts since they had no other options.…

    DiLorenzo believed the Sherman Antitrust act was “ Protectionist at its roots” (pg141). The government was using this so that incompetent businesses would be protected. According to Dilorenzo there was no proof that monopolies were hurting the country. In fact , there was a deflation during the late 19th century , prices were decreasing which would benefit consumers . The Sherman Act support came from less competitive firms that wanted to break up their more successful rivals. An example Dilorenzo gave was cotton farms. They were upset that jute was being used to cover cotton bales instead of cotton. They petition government to restrain jute farmers. Small firms had more power than the big ones, because if big firms had as much power as Yellow…

    We can't live without trust. Usually, we trust only people we know or live with. Sometimes, we can’t trust even them. But what about trusting a stranger ? Rebecca Dube, in her article “Coffee, Cookies but no Cashier” describes a business which is founded on the statement that all people are basically good. This article shows us that it is quite possible to build a business on trust. A business owner, who builds his or her business on the honor system should take into account several factors that could influence his or her decision; these factors are location of the business, current economical situation in the country and details of the business organization itself.…

    Another issue in the Civil War that revolved around land was the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854. This Bill was passed for great measure, not only did it solve many political unknowns, but it also solved many things for the future. The Kansas Nebraska Act was enacted for “Popular Sovereignty” which means people rule, or something chosen by the government reflected by the citizens. This not only was important in the land matter, but also has connections to states rights and also the 10th Amendment. The Act let the settlers choose rather they wanted their state to be slavery or non-slavery. This caused many conflicts between the north and the south, due to the uneven amount of states wanting to be able to have slaves or to not have slaves. Not only…

    Trust is, something that one will have faith in another entity. For example is a trust that a parent has when they leave the house in the hands of their teenagers hoping that they wont burn it down while they are away. In the short story, “Defender of the Faith”, Philip Roth uses imagery and characterization, to show why taking advantage of ones trust can make an individual act harshly.…

    Trust is the reliance that you have on one another, the belief that someone will come through for you in a time of need. This was shown many times in the book my favourite example was when Rat, (or Jun-Jun) was there for Raphael and Gardo at the beginning of the book they needed a place to hide the wallet. At any give time he could have gone straight to the police and turned in Raphael and Gardo.. Sister Oliver’s trust, pity and innocence led her to believing the three boys lie, this ended up putting her at great risk. Later on in the novel Gardo went back to the prison with the 20,000 pesos to give the guard for the bible. The guard tried to catch Gardo but he escaped just in time. I think this was a case where they were forced to trust the guard whether they wanted to or not, they had no option to get the bible or not.…

    Customers and the community put trust in businesses and their methods by buying their products. Businesses trust fiduciaries that act for them by working with them to acquire their expertise. Even within a business there is trust in the form of employee-employer relationships. For example, employees trust that they will receive compensation for their work after certain time intervals or after producing certain units of outputs. If there is a lack of trust, these relationships will disintegrate and business efficiency will be reduced.…

    When one takes the leap of faith, and entrusts another person with confidential information, they do it in full belief that they can trust that person. There is a bond formed. A shared burden, a shared joy, or even a shared fear. No matter the content, that secret is an object of importance to the teller, and by entrusting another, they are reaching out. They are opening up, and allowing themselves to become vulnerable to an outsider. We hold with us a part of that person, and somehow, so effortlessly, we can destroy not only their trust in us, but their ability to trust in anyone. Without trust, how can any society hope to function peacefully?…

    Trust is the very thing that everybody in this world desires, or at least should desire from one another. Who wants to have a friendship or relationship without trust? Nobody does. Without trust, there is no friendship, and without friendship, there is no love. I believe that trust is an even greater compliment than to be loved! I believe George Macdonald said it best when he stated "To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved." When I read this quote for the first time, I thought to myself, "Wow that is so true. How can you be loved if you are not trusted first?"…
