Since World War II, the percentage of American jobs in the service sector

has grown steadily. What are the benefits and drawbacks of a service-based

economy?

Benefits of a service-based economy:

Promotes the development of a high-skilled population: many jobs in the service sector require very high intellectual skills, for example, computer programming.

The economy is more flexible and adaptable: it has been shown that in a service-based economy, the economy is more flexible and can more easily adapt to economic changes than industry or agriculture based economies.

Promotes the conservation of natural resources: a service-based economy may use less natural resources like oil, natural gas, or coal, than an industrial economy.

Drawbacks of a service-based economy:

High trade deficits: a service-based economy usually requieres a high amount of imported goods that are not produced domestically. This increases the trade deficit.

Low-skilled workers may become permanently unemployed: this is because service-based economies tend to favor high skilled workers, while low skilled workers may become affected for long periods of time due to the losses of industrial and agricultural jobs.

no statements but ok.

the statement that best describes the idea of manifest destiny that was used in the 19th century would be that "it was fate that the united states would continue to  expand westward," since people thought the us was "destined" to do so. 

social contract theory basically says that all individuals are born equal, and provided a god given right to consent to be governed. american government is based of this

thomas hobbes and john locke said that we are selfish, individualistic, and constantly at war with each other, therefore we need to be controlled. 

government is defined as the legitimate use of force to control human behavior within territorial boundaries, here comes in hobbes and locke.

hobbes takes the part about controlling human behavior. while locke takes the part of legitimate use of force, since force is not legitimate unless there is consent of the people. 

there are basically 3 goals of the government: 1) maintain order by protecting life and property. 2) providing public goods, those which are typically not provided by the public sector, such as roads and education. 3) promote equality be it political, opportunist or outcome equality.
