The steamboat revolutionized transportation by providing a reliable and efficient means of moving goods and people along rivers and inland waterways. Prior to its invention, river travel was often slow and dependent on wind or manual labor, making it difficult to navigate upstream. The steamboat's ability to travel both upstream and downstream significantly reduced travel time and costs, facilitating trade and commerce. This innovation also contributed to the expansion of settlements and economic development in regions previously difficult to access.
Yes, development and underdevelopment can be seen as two sides of the same coin, as they are interconnected phenomena often shaped by similar economic, social, and political factors. Development typically refers to progress in areas such as wealth, education, and infrastructure, while underdevelopment highlights deficiencies in these areas. The existence of underdevelopment often results from systemic inequalities, historical contexts, and resource distribution, which can perpetuate cycles of poverty and hinder overall progress. Thus, understanding both concepts is essential for addressing global disparities and fostering sustainable growth.

Anomic suicide is a suicide resulting from a lack of normative integration; in such a situation, individuals feel rootless and disconnected from guiding norms and values. In simple words, anomic suicide occurs due to an individual not feeling as if he/she fits into the society anymore-this feeling is a result of the society changing drastically due to economic boom or industrialization or many such factors. Eg: investors often commit suicide when they see that they have lost all the money they invested.
