International Paper Company is the world's largest pulp and paper company with manufacturing operations in North America, Europe, Latin America, Russia, Asia and North Africa. When it started out on January 31, 1898 in Albany, New York, it was through the merger of 17 pulp and paper mills ranging in size and technological advancement and capabilities. However, even then International Paper was a leader in the industry as the nation's largest producer of newsprint. It supplied sixty percent of all newsprint sold in the United States at the time, as well as exporting its product to Argentina, Australia, and England.
Under Its first president International Paper established the first laboratory in the pulp and paper industry, as well as taking part in the industries first collective bargaining agreement and the implementation of a progressive timber harvesting system that protected young trees. Even still the company’s newsprint business was hit hard by a decision made by Congress to remove tariffs on Canadian imports. The passage of the Revenue Act of 1913 flooded the market w...

The year 1906 brought about a new era in governmental legislation that helped to shape the way privately owned producers of consumable goods would conduct themselves in the future. President Theodore Roosevelt, a man known for his tenaciousness when tackling the issues of the people, pursued these legislative changes, refusing to back down to the lobbyists who stood in his way. One such industry brought to its knees was the meat packing industry, a thriving group of companies that supplied not only the United States but also the markets in Europe with processed foods.
Paper money that was issued by the colonial government was a concern. Certain paper money could only be used for paying public debts, including military supplies or taxe...

After the Civil War in 1865, the rise in Big Business’ had started. The Government had a laissez- faire approach which was the idea of being “hands off” which led to free, unregulated markets. This allowed for competition between growing corporations. The start of Big Business impacted the way American politics, society, and the economy functioned in the early 1900’s.

The power of the federal government to regulate commerce was an issues that had existed since the chartering of the First Bank of the United States in 1791. Following the War of 1812, a division occurred in the Republican Party between those who supported the new commercial economy and those who believed agriculture was key to American prosperity. During this period Congress often encouraged manufacturing through the passing of numerous tariffs, which protected internal trade and made imported good, mostly British, and more costly. These tariffs did not help all of those in the United States, southern farm...
This dispute about Canadian magazines doesn’t stop short, but in fact it created disputes on Canadian trade. Since the Canadian economy decided to place taxes on foreign content, magazine publishers would have to produce magazines that contains at least eighty percent Canadian content. I think the idea of placing taxes is wrong in the first place and American magazine producers also placed charges based on the taxes. They voted the imposed taxes on foreign producers is a measure of discriminatory practice. This dispute had begun with the notion of the desire to conserve Canadian culture but it escalated to the point of creating an enormously encompassing trade war between the two countries.

“Paper Menagerie,” by Ken Liu, is an emotional story of a selfish son and his interactions with his out-of-place mother, who had immigrated from Asia to be his father’s wife. Jack is a half-Chinese, half-American boy who lives in Connecticut. In the beginning of the story, he is very attached to his mother, but certain incidents with other kids make him want to be as distant as possible from his Chinese mom. He demands that his mom converts to being a “normal” white American mom and that he and his family should give up all Asian customs. This beautiful story shows that selfishly basing your actions on the need to fit in can harm yourself and others.
Newspapers have allowed for such a freedom in our everyday lives, and most have not even realized this fact. They have provided us with an outlet to speak our mind about politics, societal issues, public differences, and religion and cultures. Searching online to find such knowledge can be extremely challenging; moreover, newspapers always seem to be a place to find valid information. Newspapers have started to come off the printer more slowly over the past decade. More people are turning to electronic ways to find information rather than going to the direct source where that electronic media got their information. Most reliable information comes from newspapers where high up and educated citizens or leaders speak their mind on certain and important topics. The reason newspapers should stay a part of today’s society is because they offer a way for people to speak freely about what they please and get their voice heard, they are always credible, and they help us hear the problems of the world openly from different perspectives.
Newsprint used to be International Paper’s main product, but it is no longer produced by that company since it was so unprofitable (‘A Short History of”, 1998). Very few companies manufacture newsprint anymore due to the fact that most people get their news via radio, television, and various other internet sources. Emails and social media posts have all but replaced Christmas, birthday, and get-well cards. Magazines are read online, Christmas catalogs have been replaced by online sales, and the vast majority of our junk mail has been transformed into spam in our email boxes. Corrugated and cardboard boxes have been replaced by plastic “clamshells”. Even our government has gotten into the act of reducing paper by forcing the use of electronic health records in the 2010 Affordable Care Act (“Key Features of the”, 2015). Because paper products are used in so many different applications, there is virtually no end to the substitute products which are
