[20]
The blooming period was known as roaring twenties
[23]
when all sectors of the economy was booming
[26]
and the crash came as a shock to the entire country and other countries since most of
[31]
the countries were interconnected with each other on the basis of trade and commerce.
[36]
This led to a global depression and almost all the
[40]
countries were affected, causing widespread downfall.
[44]
The crash was first identified on 24th October 1929 which is popularly
[49]
known as ‘Black Thursday’ and the crash continued to a week.
[54]
However, the effects of the same were felt for
[57]
many years and it took almost two decades
[59]
to come out of the situation and countries had
[62]
to adopt different measures for the same.
[65]
Stock Market Crash of 1929 is a popular event in the global history
[70]
and the crash has left an unforgettable experience for the countries.
[75]
The period of the beginning of the 20th century saw many developments throughout the
[79]
globe and countries were fixed in a turmoil
[82]
of changing from one phase to another phase.
[85]
Many countries were under colonial rule and some countries were
[89]
fastly developing in terms of trade, economy and commerce.
[93]
Stock Markets has been in existence from the early 13th
[97]
century, where the practices of trading on debts were common.
[101]
It all started with the merchants trading in Venice who used to carry papers and
[106]
documents and write down all the debts and trades and sell the same if required.
[112]
Moving ahead, a better way of trading was determined and merchants
[116]
started trading on different voyages which also met its end
[120]
as a result of the pirates and merchants had
[123]
to derive different ways to reduce the losses.
[126]
It was finally in the 18th century when the USA got the world’s first
[130]
stock exchange, a systematic way of trading and covering the debts.
[135]
It was first established in Philadelphia;
[138]
however, the most effective stock exchange till
[140]
date is the New York Stock Exchange which was
[143]
placed in the famous Wall Street till today.
[146]
On the other hand, London Stock Exchange was also formulated,
[151]
however, provided low safety standards in comparison.
[155]
At the same time, India was under the colonial rule and the beginning mark
[160]
of the stock exchange was the collection of people below the Banyan Tree,
[164]
which later on went on to become Bombay Stock Exchange.
[168]
Finally, in 1994, the National Stock Exchange was established, which offered better
[174]
safeguards and currently, trading has become a
[177]
safe option for people and investors to trade.
[181]
During the 1920s, the world economy on one part was low as a result
[186]
of the First World War and only a few countries were booming.
[191]
The USA was one among them and it emerged as a superpower at the end of the war.
[196]
The economic condition of the country was booming
[199]
and as a result, the financial institutions
[202]
took a step ahead and started offering loans
[204]
and debts to enhance the luxuries of people.
[207]
As a result, people took advantage and started
[210]
buying cars and urbanization was on the rise.
[214]
Agriculture took a step back and major developments took place.
[218]
However, all this was coming to an end with
[221]
circumstances which covered the situation and
[224]
the case of Hatry further deteriorated the
[227]
position as people’s trust began falling down.
[230]
On 24th October 1929, people began withdrawing the investments
[235]
and stocks, which resulted in the fall of the stock exchange.
[239]
The day is still called as the ‘Black Thursday’ and this
[243]
fall continued till Tuesday, also known as ‘Black Tuesday.’
[248]
Overall, the growth rate fell down drastically and
[251]
a surplus withdrawal led to the stagnation of
[254]
the entire economy and soon people were on a mass
[257]
level unemployed as companies had to be shut.
[261]
The effects of the stock market crash were not just limited to
[264]
one country but affected even other smaller and bigger nations.
[268]
Countries like Great Britain, European countries like France, Germany, Italy, etc.
[275]
and even Asian countries were affected as a result.
[278]
This period was known as the Great Depression
[281]
period and it was a dark era for all nations.
[285]
Germany was worst affected as it changed the
[288]
entire political conditions of the country
[290]
and the ever powerful party lost its election during 1932
[295]
and Nazis came to power in 1932, making Hitler the leader.
[300]
On the other hand, in Italy, the trade and commerce drastically fell,
[304]
which led the government to take severe steps in regard for the same.
[308]
In the USA too, the government changed and Roosevelt
[312]
came to power and bought in many changes.
[315]
Before the same, 1932 was a dark period leading to the fall of the economy.
[321]
Britain and India stood connected as India was under the colonial rule of Britain
[326]
and suffered great losses as the colonial rule
[329]
became even more stricter owing to losses
[332]
and farmers were the biggest losers of the same with the economy falling to a very low.
[338]
From the period starting from 1930 to 1939, till the beginning
[343]
of World War I, the regaining moment was taking place.
[347]
Countries and the respective governments played
[350]
an important role in making the economy grow.
[352]
Some of the important measures which took place were the
[356]
change in power in the USA during the 1933 election.
[359]
Roosevelt became the President and bought in the change of New Rule, which was a way
[365]
to bring in welfare policies on the basis of the society, employment, taxing, etc.
[372]
The funds of the Federal Reserve were spent for the same
[375]
and this even bought in criticisms against the government.
[379]
On the other hand, Great Britain made their country a welfare state and
[383]
all these factors led to the development of the different economies.
[387]
However, the best development came to countries when the World War II started.
[392]
The USA was not a participant until Japan attacked on Pearl
[397]
Harbor and in 1941, the USA participated in the war.
[401]
This resulted in the end of Great Depression as employment opportunities
[405]
were created and the young generation lads joined the army.
[409]
Females and other aged peoples joined labor works and manufacturing units.
[414]
The same was the condition of other countries and finally, though the war bought
[419]
devastations, it acted as a boost to the abolishment of the Great Depression.
[425]
There is a whole lot of field where data comes very handy.
[429]
With the growing amount of population, the importance
[433]
of data is undeniable, especially in certain fields.
[437]
The foremost important field relates to medicine and
[440]
around lakhs of people are purchasing medicine every day.
[445]
To keep a count is hard and this data is very useful in keeping a count of how well the
[449]
residents of an area are capable of buying
[451]
medicines and what are the most sold varieties.
[453]
Another major field is banking.
[456]
Today, governments have worked very well for the progress of its
[460]
citizens and the net result is the number of account holders
[464]
and maintaining their data is of importance as only then
[468]
the banks can know as to what offer to give to whom.
[472]
On a similar note exists the other fields like construction
[476]
and infrastructure, transportation and commerce
[480]
also accumulate data and there has to be a greater level of
[484]
usage of data to predict what is kept for the people in future.
[489]
The saving of data has resulted in huge changes
[492]
and even bought changes to the economies.
[495]
The concept of Big Data is yet another important milestone
[499]
in the understanding of how to learn from data.
[503]
Big Data is a term which is coined and is commonly used for
[507]
data which is very huge in numbers and gets piled up every day.
[511]
Such data’s are common in many fields.
[514]
Within Big Data, there are three major types of data namely
[518]
structured data which is structured and can be saved in a format,
[523]
unstructured data which is huge in numbers and is randomly available and
[527]
semi-structured data which is the combination of both the two types.
[531]
To analyze such data, some of the common techniques
[535]
are machine learning, data mining and deep learning.
[539]
Machine learning is a part of Artificial Intelligence
[543]
and has been becoming more and more popular.
[546]
With slight differences comes data mining through which data
[550]
is extracted and saved and then used for many purposes.
[554]
Deep learning, on the other hand, is a recent
[557]
concept useful for the gaming industry.
[561]
In whatsoever way, the data can be extracted, saved and
[564]
made use for learning, without protection, data is nothing.
[569]
All the companies are currently striving hard to protect whatever data is
[573]
with them and there are some common ways applied by them to save the data.
[577]
The same can be encryption, putting restrictions
[581]
on data to be accessed by everyone,
[583]
educating the employees especially lower and
[585]
higher-level employees and imparting them with knowledge
[588]
how breaches can end and the importance of same
[590]
and framing stricter rules to avoid breach.
[592]
Even after the same, data breach has been observed true at many
[596]
places and awarding protection has been the main motive of companies.
[601]
There is no denial that in the future, the data is going to double up and to make them
[605]
useful for learning, protecting the same in one way or other is even more pertinent.
