The industrialization first happened in Europe and to the west in the states. The rest of the world watched the shift of manufactured out puts change “by 1900, India account(ed) for barely 2 percent of world manufacturing output, China about 7 percent, while Europe alone claims 60 percent of the world's total (GDP)” (Marks 2342). The rest of world due to this industrialization would either have to adapt industrialization to compete or experience the torture’s that would come from being
From 1860 to 1900 the United States quickly became an “industrial nation,” using its plentiful natural resources of oil, coal, steel, and timber, along with abundant labor to drastically increase production of manufactured goods. During this time period millions of immigrants from Europe (Eastern and Western) along with many from East Asia moved to various cities in the US, leading to both a rise in population density in these areas and a labor surplus. The constant supply of cheap labor combined with a strong spirit of competition and very little government regulation led to the rise of enormous “industrial empires” of steel, railroads, and oil. These raw materials were then processed into a vast array of consumer goods, which entered into

Industrialization DBQ As the Industrial Revolution spread throughout countries around the world, products were soon being quickly distributed throughout the world. What the world didn’t realize, however, was the production put into them. Many products were mass produced in the revolution, but the methods and work conditions were not safe or sanitary. In addition to this and because of the low pay of the workers, many who could get a job were still tight on money and could not live in luxury.
During that period, with the development of mass production of goods and mass consumerism, America became the richest country in the world. Businesses in America developed quickly, creating plenty of jobs. At the same time, most of Americans’ wages surged, so that they had enough money to buy many kinds of new commodities, like cars and radios. Before WWI, cars are extremely luxury, but in 1920s, mass production made cars become cheap, as a result, more and more people could afford it. Cars brought millions of Americans into a new world easily and they made Americans’ life more convenient.

Before the 19th century, almost everything was made by hand in a painstakingly long process. However, around 1760, the industrial revolution began in Europe. Everything began to be manufactured and processed by machines. People migrated to the cities for jobs as demand for workers increased, and the industry prospered. Products were created quicker and more easily with the aid of machines, and national wealth flourished.

When it comes to comparing the past with the present, the idea of globalisation is deliberated quite often. The twentieth century coined the term ‘globalisation’ as international organisations were introduced, aiming to reduce trade barriers and maintaining healthy global trade relations. On the other hand, the twenty-first century induced a fear of globalisation as companies were outsourcing their production allowing certain societies to continue development while others remained constant. In June 2016, Brexit (Britain’s exit) took place because the majority of the United Kingdom (UK) voted to leave the European Union (EU). This event exhibits people disrupting the political mandate by voting against cultural and economic globalization.
I. INTRODUCTION a. BACKGROUND: Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different countries, a procedure compelled by international trade and investment, and supported by information technology. Furthermore, this process has an effect on various other systems such as on the environment, culture, political systems, economic development and prosperity and lastly, on human physical well-being in societies around the world. “Since 1950, for example, the volume of world trade has increased by 20 times, and from just 1997 to 1999 flows of foreign investment nearly doubled, from $468 billion to $827 billion” (York, 2016). Technology has been another primary driver of globalization,
But some scholars also claim that “Globalization” is a new trend which technically emerged only in modern times or during the 20th century. However, the fact is that “Globalization” took place as a process of mobilization of human capital, travel, cultural exchange, free trade and modernization. Over the years the trend of globalization has seen some basic changes, which is the topic of this essay. This essay is about the difference between the trend of globalization in 20th century and 21st century. The trend of globalization in 20th century and 21st century differs in the following way:
The middle class in Mumbai have always been distrustful of builders notorious for their ill-kept promises, but despite their various socio-cultural loyalties and affiliations, they all must give in to the temptations of sudden wealth while a few like the Pintos are frightened into submission and the Masterji gets eliminated. Thomas Friedman, the well-known chronicler of globalisation, argues that the destruction in the wake of globalisation is inherently creative in that it destroys the old to make way for the new. Whatever has become redundant must perish and manure the new. In The World is Flat, he avers that it gives the opportunity for every individual and society to make independent choices about what to discard, adapt and adopt. Otherwise:
The Causes of Globalisation Globalisation has many causes but the one we take seriously is the economy and leave out the rest, the global causes have contributed on the world’s economy such as technology, financial, multinational corporations, labour and foreign direct investment. Technology, over the past decade technology has improve the way the economy works and communicate (people could sent important emails to a client who are half way across the world); technology has made a huge improvement in our everyday life’s through the internet (Scholte, 2000:101 in Hirst & Thompson
