Industrialization is a starting point for many of the technologies and factories around and exists today, despite the negative influences of the industrialization, people gained many benefits from it too. For example, because of the industrialization workers are more efficient producing goods and products, also industrialization helped many people walked out of the countryside which broadens their perspectives. For many countries, industrialization is a voluntary movement within the country, but as an exception, China’s industrialization is forced due to the “barbarism” action from Britain, France and many other countries. Recalls the first Opium War, which is the event that aroused the industrialization in China, and later the second Opium war etc.… Due to the pressure from enemies, China has to start industrialization in order to strengthen itself and to protect the people from the opponents. Overall, industrialization was a hard and a long-term battle not only with other countries but also within China itself. Luckily, China slowly recovered from its failure and walked out of its shadow by the transformation through the self-strengthening movement, the Xinhai revolution and when new China was founded in 1949. Even though China is still in the process of industrialization, but due to its transformation, China is now deemed as one of the strongest industrial countries around the world.

The Industrial Revolution brought many changes to society in the nineteenth century. With the rise of factories following the Agricultural Revolution and Enclosure Movement, it allowed goods to be readily available to the public due to mass production from having a large and available workforce. This led to further economic growth within the urban areas. While some might argue that Industrialization had primarily positive consequences for society because of this economic growth, it was actually a negative thing for society. Industrialization’s negative effects were the lack of working conditions, child labor, and horrible living conditions.
America had a huge industrial revolution in the late 1800”s. Many changes happened to our great nation, which factored into this. The evidence clearly shows that advancements in new technology, a large wave of immigrants into our country and new views of our government, helped to promote America’s huge industrial growth from the period of 1860-1900.
During the Civil War, factories were built by the Union to defeat the Confederacy. After the Civil War, those factories continued to thrive which consequently led to the Gilded Age. “Gilded” meaning that something is wrapped thinly in gold, but doesn’t look good underneath. Industrialization collectively ruined the crop market, created monopolies owned by corrupt individuals, and restricted upward movement of American society. In response, industrialization had a negative impact on US society in the years 1865 to 1900.
Beginning in the 17th century, the Industrial Revolution began in England. Industrialization became a foundation for countries to grow their economy as well as to advance their economies. After industrialization spread to the United States, the process spread to Russia and Japan in the 19th century; however, both countries derived different industrial influences from the West. In the 1800s, the present czar of Russia, Nicholas I, sought to expand Russian territory into the West, where the Ottoman Empire resided. Russia declared war on the western part of Europe but did not succeed since the English and French aided the Ottomans with their advanced weapons and technology.
After the Agricultural Revolution, the Industrial Revolution began in England in the late 1700s, and it raised the standard of living across the globe. However, while some might argue that Industrialization had primarily positive consequences for society because of advanced economic growth, it was actually a negative thing for society. Industrializations negative effects were working conditions, living conditions, and child labor. Though the Industrial Revolution led to new creations such, as the steam engine and the railroads, in order to produce these machines it requires a great deal of labor.
The effects leaching off of industrialization between 1865 and 1900 has many divided outcomes of prosperous pushes forward as well as hefty setbacks. During this time was the drive toward the second industrial revolution, this brought in many more immigrants to the workforce, reconstruction of the south but also the rise of money hungry industry owners (Doc. 4), turning into a movement for power being returned the people (Doc. 5). These little causes have brought much effect in the nation as it progressed it towards the future society and culture.
During the industrialization children would work over ten hours, most adults today don’t work for more than eight hours. Industrialization is the growth of the economy during the 1800’s, which started in the United States. Industrialization is when a country develops its industries and the effect are positive on the country’s economy. It brings more products to the consumers for a cheaper price and more jobs to the people. It has a negative effect on the worker, usually they work on bad working conditions, little wages, and long hours.
The Industrial Revolution marked a monumental shift in human history, providing glorious wealth and opportunities for some, but for others, the Industrial Revolution was hell on Earth. These positives and negatives are covered throughout Document One by Fredrikke Palmer, Document Two by William Blake, Document Five by Leonard Deming, Document Six by Jacob Riis and Jessie Tarbox Beals, and Document Seven by Szreter S. and Mooney G. The rapid economic growth caused by industrialization had tremendous negative as well as positive effects on the quality of life for humans.
Industrialization was a turning point in history for countries across the globe in the 18th century and the 19th century. In the time period of 1850 and 1914, most of Western Europe and America had already experienced impressive economic and lifestyle adjustments thanks to industrialization. In this time of constant innovation and change, Japan and Russia were both trying to industrialize like Western Europe and America did. The goal for both: to keep their own identity and culture in the process and ultimately have great success. Although both Japan and Russia had a similar goal with industrialization, and both were driven by a state-sponsored industry, the experiences for industrial workers in Russia were significantly worse than those in
The Industrialization period of the 1800-1900s helped to shape the world today. This time period during the Industrial Revolution had many types of consequences, both positive and negative. Due to these consequences, there have been advancements in safety, health, and technology. While some might argue that Industrialization had primarily positive consequences for society because of economic growth, it was actually a negative thing for society. Industrialization’s negative effects were dangerous factory conditions, air and water pollution, and the enormous lack of labor restrictions.
Advancements in agriculture, textile, transportation and economic growth became possible only because of the Industrial Revolution. Taking place in the United States between 18th and 19th century, times went from separating the cotton from its seed to using an automated cotton gin made by an American inventor Eli Whitney. This allowed for the lower class citizens to be able to have the important goods such as medication and clothing. Before the American Industrial Revolution, people were mostly farmers and life went by slowly and tedious work was required for simple tasks. But with inventions like the cotton gin, and the assembly line, mass production evolved. The United States had one of the fastest economic growths than any other country
Between 1865 and 1920, industrialization caused significant changes in many people’s lives. First, the development of a new railroad system help settle the west and made it more accessible to people. Second, public transit systems in big cities provided an outlet from congested cities. Last, the discovery of a method for transmitting electricity helped to light up our daily lives. I feel that these are three of the most important changes in people’s lives caused by industrialization.
The United States has always housed two types of people: those who embrace change and those who resist it. From loyalists and revolutionaries in the eighteenth century to democrats and republicans in the twenty-first, changing economic tides and social conditions often spark factions in this nation. In the case of the Antebellum period, new technology and working environments caused turmoil. In a few short decades, the country would be locked in a civil war. However, before that came a series of religious and reform movements. Some of these movements would grow into national conversations, but began first with small groups. In Antebellum America, industrialization caused a breakdown in social structure, especially norms of class, gender, and race. This led to middle and upper class men in the North and the South using similar strategies to resist social change. Industrialization also allowed alternative voices to advocate for entirely new dynamics of power surrounding class, gender, and race.
The Industrial Revolution is the name given to the movement in which machines changed people's way of life as well as their methods of manufacturer. It brought three important changes: inventions of machines that simplify and speed up the work of hand tools, use of steam (and other power) versus human power, adoption of a factory system. Workers were brought together under one roof and were supplied machines. The Industrial Revolution began throughout the world relatively during the same time period, and although it had its beginning in remote times, it is still continuing in some places.
Thesis: In the years following the Civil War, the Industrial Revolution marks a turning point in the American history; the United States was transformed from an agricultural to industrial society what had a major effect on almost every aspect of the daily life.
