This automobile was not only affordable for most of the middle-class people, but it was durable enough to handle the rough roads of that time period. The demand for the Model T was overwhelming which lead Ford to design a plan, which would speed up the production of the vehicle. He introduced what we know of today as the continuing moving assembly line. This method proved to be much faster and he was able to lower the cost of each vehicle, which in turn made the Model T more affordable for almost everyone. Today, a form of this method is widely used in the production of almost all industries in the world. Just about every type of mechanical device is developed on an assembly line. Ford was known as a pioneer in the production of mass goods for human consumption. I feel that without this type of production, goods would be much more expensive in society and the demand would out-weigh the supply. In today’s society, we deal with people from different ethnic groups and different races, which lead me to thank Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., for integration.

After graduating, he went to Boston University where he earned...
