Question

"explain how this statement applies to the early 1900's and also today. "The nation (world) is shrinking".

give me an example PLEASE

Answer 1

the rise of the middle class because of the industrial revolution in the early 20th century, (people could afford to have more children), record population boom around the world as of late around the world because quality of life has risen, as well as life expectancy, and the INTERNET.

Answer 2

The world is "shrinking" in the fact that it's getting smaller
and smaller due to global communication at your fingertips
which is just a click of the mouse away. Because of the
availability and low cost of flights abroad, a trip to an
entirely different culture is only a few hours. People become
closer, faster, using these examples and creating the
illusion of a shrinking world. It's a metaphore.

Answer 3

this refers to increased communication and transportation abilities, which connect different parts of the nation, and the world (make it smaller).

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, railroads and the telephone made the nation more connected

Today, the internet connects the whole world, as well as airplanes which allow you to travel anywhere in the world

Answer 4

It means we are getting closer & closer to one another as Nations.....

Nation within itself is getting closer within its counties & provinces since Railroads, Cars, and means of transportation & construction is speading so fast and at unusual rates....

It is just like when we say NOWADAYS...THE WORLD IS BECOMING LIKE A SMALL VILLAGE....Due to internet .....

Answer 5

the population is growing causing less space........ communication methods are a lot better everyone seems to be closer
centuries ago it took months to cross the ocean today it takes hours
soon it will take minutes (i hope) good luck
