The Contributions Of The Industrial Revolution And The Industrial Revolution

Strong, new ideas and scientific advancements were discovered during the Enlightenment period. The Enlightenment began in the mid-seventeenth century and went well into the eighteenth century. Thinkers such as John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and many others came about with the ideas that changed this period of history. Many who have read about the Enlightenment only see the good of the scientific successes that were brought about. During this time however, there were writings about Christian religion that were trying to clarify what actually was possible to have happened in the time of Jesus. At this time, people questioning the Church would read these documents and have something to solidify what the Church had been telling them.

Throughout the course of the early 1700s and 1900s the world started to become introduced to the production of machinery. Starting in Europe and expanding into the Americas we today classify this era as the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial revolution put the use of hand tools downward while bringing up the use of factory machines. Factory machines by the late 1800s would soon replace farming with manufacturing at a large scale in the nation. This was seen to be a malificent time, for people from all around the world would be drawn to the Americas. Many came in hopes for a new and better life, but with every opportunity you must be ready to endure the burden. America’s revolution would go as far as impacting the aspects of civilization

The Industrial Revolution began in the eighteenth century marking the transformation of economic power and productivity. Not only was there concentration on agriculture, as their main source of an economy, and started to concern themselves with commerce, trade, and exploration of new technologies. Working toward great financial success to make a profit. Even though the machinery was new the main power source was human labor. Production took place in homes and small workshops. The primary labor force was drawn specifically to the young, as the industrial revolution began in semi-normal locations. The effects of the Industrial revolution were harsh on children, and it made people feel like all they

The industrial revolution was not only technological revolution but a social one that would lie foundation that would grow the word “revolution” exponentially. The industrial revolution brought with it change, whether that change was positive or negative is questionable however it did change the world as it was known. In both England and the United States of America strong industrial revolutions struck, the revolutions would change roles in the household and society for both women and me and the ideologies held about gender roles. In both countries effected by the revolution, industrialization challenged religion and authority, the impact of which can still be seen today.

One major turning point in world history is Enlightenment, otherwise know as “The age of reason”. It was named this because during this era people began to think for themselves and started to be independent. ”The Enlightenment was a period in the 1700s when European scientists and philosophers began examining the world through reason, or human intellect, rather than religious or spiritual faith”(Chavez). This occurred in the late 17th century. Before the Enlightenment, people were completely under the influence of their government and did not really know what was best for them or know of a better life. But soon thinkers in Britain, France, and

And Enlightenment criticized Christianity oriented values and they argued that people should look at the world with rationality that only the human have. And after the scientific revolution (16th ~18th century), Enlightenment began to provoke people, in earnest. Through out Scientific revolution, people started to believe real things (scientifically proved things), then the people started to stay away form supernatural things, and view of world also changed into rationally. There were 3 famous scientist existed during the revolution, who are Galileo Galilee, who claimed that Earth is rotating, Earth is not a center of the universe, William Harvey who presented circulation of blood, blood from heart send to other veins and come back to the heart again [7] and Isaac Newton, who presented Universal gravitation, which was things existed in the world can move by themselves without God’s interference, because each of them has gravity [8]. All of these happened during scientific revolution and it helped pave the way to the Enlightenment in the 18th

The Enlightenment was a period of time spanning from approximately 1660 to 1789. It is defined by significant intellectual development and the emergence of revolutionary concepts and ideals which challenged the established standards of science, religion, philosophy, politics and general society. During this time, the Church progressively became disesteemed due to the application of reasoning and science to its ancient doctrines, in addition to its rejection of modern ideologies and scientific discoveries. The emergence of (then) radical/blasphemous belief systems and philosophies regarding the teachings of the Catholic Church, and the Church's abrogation of the research of scientists (such as Galileo) caused a predominately negative response amongst the population of Europe and America. Consequently, there was a large-scale 'falling out' between the population and the Church, resulting in the Church suffering a significant loss of power.

The Enlightenment emerged out of several other intellectual developments such as the Renaissance, Reformation, and Scientific Revolution. The Renaissance emphasis on humanism weakened the hold that the Roman Catholic Church had on society. As citizens continued to question the authority of the Roman Catholic Church, a period known as the Reformation began. During the Reformation, Luther began a new church that had very different beliefs than the Catholic Church. As people continued to question old beliefs and continued experimenting specifically with math and science, a new era began known as the Scientific Revolution.

The Enlightenment, which eased into existence in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries created a new way of thinking based on rationality. Scholars and intellects were free to debate and have informed discussions about such things as science, religion, and philosophy without fear of censorship

This helped to fuel numerous widespread revolutions, including the French Revolution. A quote from John Locke, who was a famous Enlightenment Philosopher, says, “All mankind... being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions.” Inspiring words from philosophers powered the French Revolution due to the fact that more books were being published by philosophers and having quotes like this in them, therefore more and more of the middle class was reading them, this quote from Albert Mathiez states, “…The middle class… was sensitive to their inferior legal position. The revolution came from them- the middle class. The working classes were incapable of starting the revolution. They were just beginning to learn to read.” Albert Mathiez explains how the revolution started with the middle class. It started with the middle class because they knew how to read, without this knowledge they probably would not have known about the Philosophy books, or the declaration of independence, therefore they would have not known about the way people should have been treated. For example Natural Rights or life, liberty, and property, freedom of thought and expression, religious freedom, and many

This essay discusses the enlightenment which was a time of great philosophical and intellectual ideas that swept Europe off its feet in the 18th century. During this time people doubted the existence of God and what the Church has to say about the laws and such. Older dogmatic suggestions were changed in America at this time as the colonies were no longer constrained by England. The attitudes in the colonies also changed political views through these ideas. These political ideas include John Locke’s view on why monarchs that don’t protect the lives liberty and property of the people. Or Jean-Jacques Rousseau stated that the general will of the people should be

Think about your life for one second: you communicate with people, travel, make purchases, and utilize those commodities. But have you ever wondered what made those things possible? After all, you go to the store to buy things you need. You drive a car to work and to visit your friends. If you need to talk to someone, you simply pick up your phone or computer. However, none of this would be possible without a means of communication, factories to manufacture the products you need, places to work, and ways to travel and transport goods. And what made these possible? The answer is the Industrial Revolution, which started in Europe around the year 1730. A revolution is a major change or turning point in something. The Industrial Revolution

There is no doubt that the Industrial Revolution plays a central role in the modern British history. The structure of British society has forever changed by the impact and consequences of Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution is often stated as the increase of the number of factories, the exercise of steam power in a wide range of area and the mass-production produced by new technology in the course of 1750 to 1850 (Lane, 1978: 72). Engles (1986: 37) argued that the Industrial Revolution’s mainly development were the invention of the steam engine and the cotton industry. As the improvement of technology, the steam engine could produce more power with less

The Industrial Revolution was the quintessence of capitalistic ideals; it bred controversy that led to Karl Marx’s idea of communism as a massive grass roots reaction to the revolution’s social abuses. Firstly, the Industrial Revolution featured the construction of machines, systems and factories that allowed goods to be manufactured at a faster rate with a lower cost. The seed drill made it so there could be “a semi-automated, controlled distribution and plantation of wheat seed”(Jones 2013). Secondly, there was a great social and economic divide between the wealthy owners and the poor workers, which gave rise to the mass’s vulnerability to the advent of extreme socialism. Figures of authority severely oppressed their employees by giving them insufficient pay, a treacherous work environment, and even making some children work more than 12 hours per day (Cranny 150). Finally, far right capitalism created a brutal boom and bust cycle of economics that made, for the multitude at the bottom, a perpetual nightmare of poverty and death. People responded to this social situation by taking part in violent protests; oppression sires rebellion. The Industrial Revolution was the chassis of great imagination and progress of political, economic, and social force that still affects this world today.

Both the Industrial Revolution and the French Revolution induced great social transformations from the end of the 18th century on. The revolutions laid the foundation for the journey of modernization for Great Britain and France. Although the two countries were merely separated by the English Channel, the relatively low degree of pre-industrial international communications hindered the interaction of both events. Nevertheless, it is not coincidental that the revolutions occurred roughly at the same time: the rapidly increasing economic demand as well as the emergence of enlightenment philosophies served as the stimuli. However, the varied application and reaction to the two elements are country-based: the difference in the availability of natural resources, the class relations in each states, and the dissimilar applications of the philosophical ideas developed into the two distinctively varied revolutions.
