ECONOMICS T he purpose of this web & library guide is to help the user gain a broad understanding and appreciation for the culture and history of the period in American history. In a very small way, this is a bibliographic essay. Though it is impossible to take you through the entire decade, we have attempted to find notable areas of interest and to select information that is still dear today, for example books we love - movies we watch - songs we sing - events we find interesting - people we admire. We want students to understand the world they live in today is connected to the happenings of the past

POLITICS At the dawn of a new century the desire for political change was growing in the United States. Many Americans believed that democracy could be improved, that politics could be freed from the grasp of the corrupt political machines and "bosses" who had controlled the major political parties for the last several decades. Special-interest groups emerged to lead reforms movements at the city, state, and federal levels, but there was no cohesive, national agenda, no single source of reform. Reform groups ran the political and socio-economic gamut, as businessmen, unskilled workers, farmers, settlement-house workers, populists, antimonopolists, socialists, and anarchists all worked for reform, and nearly every aspect of life was touched by their efforts.

ENVIRONMENT One of the most important elements for the management of environmental issues in the Volvo Group is the decision to have a single environmental policy, common to all parts of the Group.This policy is the basis for our environmental management systems, strategies and objectives, audits and activities.The approach is shared with all corporate values quality safety and environment.

The 1910s was a decade of great change for America. It was during this decade that the United States was first considered a world leader. Many of the issues of 1910 are ones we face today: including the escalation of immigration and poverty, labor and monopoly battles, work safety and child labor problems. World War I - the first 'war to end all wars' raged. The 1910s were the decade America came of age.
