History Assignment Script: The Industrial Revolution The impacts of the Industrial Revolution: Intro: Hello and good morning to all of you, thank you for tuning in with us on another episode of "the daily dose of history". I am your host Maryam Samimi, and the topic we are going to be discussing today is the Industrial Revolution and how it had impacted our modern lifestyles all around the world socially, economically, environmentally, historically and politically. The 18th century witnessed hundreds of new inventions and ideas that revolutionized people's lives. This was not the same for all people. For many, the Industrial Revolution brought wealth and fortune, but the others suffered with starvation and other epidemics that were …show more content…
This stable agriculture was soon to be a modern industrial society, in which the people were relying on mechanical machines powered by steam and electricity. Every waking and sleeping second is caused by the Industrial Revolution. The manufacturing economy majorly boomed in the industries. Inventions like “Flying Shuttle”created by John Kay in 1733 were causes for increases in the speed of weaving. This led to the inventions like the “Spinning Jenny” because of very high demands. The technology and quality of machinery were highly improved. Creations powered by water and steam are the inventions that first changed mankind, into our society today. The world's coal production (which was about two thirds) was produced by Britain, half of the iron and half of the cotton cloth as well. The largest single employer was the cotton industry, which caused cotton clothing to become worth a great value in Britain's export trade. India was the world’s biggest producer of cotton textiles. India did not have to industrialize, because they were productive without the use of machinery. Later on, manufacturers in Britain invested in highly developed factories and technologies from the profit of the increased …show more content…
But by 1830, the Industrial Revolution indicated a new way of representing power: by owning factories. The lower class would take no part in power but instead depended on their government to ease the cases. Wealthy aristocrats pushed the poor out of their farming homes and moved them to the cities and towns. The lower classmen were not very educated nor were they skilled in what they were told to do, but they eventually came through with all of the labour. Inequality had a major role in the political crisis. Only 6% of men could vote before 1832, but as the industrial revolution occurred, things had a more balanced feel to them. The positive side of these effects the Industrial Revolution has left on us is that the government tried its best to encourage literature and building schools. By doing so, at least some wealthy citizens would acknowledge the fact that they have an education and begin to develop their uncivilized country into a more modern and civilized place for
Another Key factor in the Industrial Revolution was increases in transportation modes and availability of transportation. England’s first phase of canal building during the 1700s was crucial for industrialization. Canals made factories cost effective. Factories could then be built anywhere with materials easily shipped to that factor, utilize the steam engine to efficiently produce the product, and transport that products to market just easily. Transportation made mass production cost-effective and widened the market from the local to the national.
The Industrial Revolution shaped the growing economy at the time in many positive and negative aspects. The Industrial Revolution took place during the late 1800’s and the early 1900’s and was considered to be the “New Industrial.” Many things were brought to the economy at the time due to this occurring; some in which being machinery, technology, production of goods, and even performance. The economy was not the only thing greatly affected by this revolution but the farmers, the working-class, and the middle-class were also affected to a deep extent.
Due to this time of advancement in history, the Industrial Revolution helped improve the efficiency of water power, increasing the use of steam power, and soon led to the development of machine tools. In several outstanding ways, this era of history had a major impact on our everyday lives. This era also
The Industrial Revolution was a very big part of our History. It brought lots of new inventions and products that society had never thought could be possible. The Industrial Revolution also brought in new medicine and medical equipment allowing people to live longer lives. Before the advancement in medicine if a person was in a coma then they were thought dead, and usually buried alive.
The Industrial Revolution was from 1750 to 1830, a period of time that caused an economical and cultural shift. This era brought a mix of positive and negative effects that not only affected the area it was in but also its surroundings. In result of the revolution there was the cottage industry, agriculture, harsh labor within the system of factory- based manufacturing that included complex machinery, the growth of technology, new resources and the development of transportation. Also the series inventions that increased the production of manufactured goods, which then led to the increased size in the population. A series of the positive effects that came from the industrialization mostly came from the factory owners and the individuals who were above the middle class.
The Industrial Revolution was the chain of events from the mid-1700s to the early 1900s that increased population, product output, and technology. During this period, many inventions that people use to this day, such as the radio, electric lightbulb, and the automobile were invented and put forward for public use. It also changed the way people lived, with urbanization causing more people to move into larger cities to work in factories. While some might argue that Industrialization had primarily negative consequences for society because it brought suffering to the working class, it was actually a positive thing for society.
The Industrial Revolution brought many changes to the lifestyle and way work was completed for citizens of Britain between 1750 and 1900. Machines that provided effective, cheap and fast production of goods began to replace the jobs once held by people. This development effected many groups of workers, but especially those in the textile industry. The introduction of machinery had a significant impact on the lives of these industrial workers due to the low and high demand for goods, unfair wages and unhealthy and dangerous working conditions it inaugurated. The lives of industrial textile workers were significantly impacted by the Industrial Revolution.
Effects of the Industrial Revolution The Industrial Revolution was an important event in history. It brought about many positives during its time. For instance, kids were well fed, educated, and clothed. There were plenty of negatives, as well. One very sad example was the machine injuries that happened to both children and adults.
The industrial revolution was an impactful era for humanity’s advancement, all over the world. People becamse eager to find faster and easier ways of doing everyday tasks, and began inventing in the 1760’s. England was the first to begin the textile revolution, which was the mass production of cloth in mills and factories. The role of women in the textile industry was significant because of their agility and smaller hands. Soon after England’s revolution, Japan followed along, about a century later in the late 1800’s; through their emperor:
Industrial Revolution DBQ During the Industrial Revolution, many higher class citizens of Britain believed that factory workers had a fair pay and decent working conditions, but factory labourers actually lived in deplorable conditions with high fatality rate because of such things as dangerous machinery and cramped housing. According to the middle and upper classes, labourers lived and worked in tolerable conditions. According to Document 2, factory villages were in good condition and its inhabitants looked healthy and happy.
Prior to the Industrial Revolution, which began in Britain in the late 1700s, manufacturing was often done in people’s homes, using hand tools or basic machines. Industrialization marked a shift to powered, special-purpose machinery, factories and mass production. The iron and textile industries, along with the development of the steam engine, played central roles in the Industrial Revolution, which also saw improved systems of
Although China did not become industrialized, pushing the limits of the old biological regime with old technology and their growing population size forced China to become a very labour-intensive agricultural giant in order to support themselves. Overall, although the world had left behind an old and insufficient biological regime, the Industrial Revolution brought with it its own challenges for mankind. Things like cotton, tea, silver, opium, iron, and steam were all items that dominated the Industrial Era. Tea and opium were mass produced by the Chinese, and England stripped silver from the New World to pay for these goods.
The Industrial Revolution was a remarkable yet an destructible event that originated throughout the second half of the nineteenth century in Britain, before finding its way across the globe. This was an era in which technological innovation, mechanised inventions and rapid growth resulted in great changes to sectors like agriculture, manufacture, transportation, science, fossil fuels and demographic change. The revolution therefore had massive impacts on the world we live in today, and this essay will prove to do so. The Industrial Revolution was also important because it transformed previous status of social class, and led to the widespread happening of urbanisation. This was a stepping stone for the demographic change, as this impacted
The most important event in history: Industrial Revolution Context The industrial revolution was the most significant event in history, which started around the eighteenth century towards the nineteenth century in Europe. This great event was the fastest spreading event in human history. The capacity of economy and population growth was unexpected especially at the areas in which it flourished. The industrial revolution benefited almost everyone around the world and brought about new social classes, large cities and countless new innovations including medical discoveries especially in Britain, which based its scientific innovations on experiments and practical work rather than theories and logic, are the great outcomes of this still going event.
The Industrial Revolution began in England for many reasons. In 1700s,Britain 's economy was mainly an agricultural economy. Wealthy landowners bought up all the land and enclosed their land with fences allowing them to cultivate larger fields called enclosures. This caused the enclosure movement, which put most small farmers out of work causing them to move to cities. This movement to cities is known as urbanization, which gave Britain a large population of workers.
