It focuses on the fruitful acts of the major powers, America and England. Starting from history, that is the urge of forming an idea to the diversified nature of industries; this report describes the various impacts of this act on the world in the 19th century. The set up of industrialism could never be understood until the history is known, and so the report starts from the meaning and is followed by the historical events which became the reason for countries to adapt or boost industrialism in 19th century. What is Industrialization? The shift of work from "hand" and "home" manufacturing to "factory" or "industrial" work (Kelly, n.d.), is the move of industrialization. Industrialization is a process which has remarkably changed the world in such a manner that now; the war is not for land like read in ancient times, to fight for kingdoms with
Throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the Industrial Revolution reconstructed Britain, the United States, Russia, and Latin America through changes in means of production, the economy, and social conditions. Although all four areas ended up with similar effects of the Industrial Revolution, Britain and the United States’ means to transform were different than those of Russia and Latin America.
Industrialization after the Civil War was a period where Industrial city were being built, there were jobs for people and the political aspect was having corruption. In this paper the main points in this paper discussed the major aspects of the Industrialization Revolution, such as groups that were affected by the Industrial society, and the affects the life of the average working American. While the Industrial Revolution was a great turning point in the history of mankind, it led humanity to great technological advancements, middle and lower class, African American rights,
Most people regard industrialization as a positive development capable of generating great wealth and revitalizing run-down areas. Mention industrialization today, and it brings to mind large factories organized with the latest technologies in mass producing. Along with these visions comes the promise of more jobs for the community, higher rates of pay, and financial stability. One can only think of the positive influences on a community that the opening of a new factory could bring, but during what some have deemed the Industrial Revolution, industrialization only meant using machines and new power sources to accomplish a task formerly done by human and animal power. Our modern day conception of industrialization can greatly influence our
The Industrial Revolution was a huge turning point in history. The place where the Industrial Revolution began was in Great Britain because they had many natural resources and a strong economy. By the 1850’s many country villages had grown into industrial towns and cities, and their inhabitants bought food and clothing in stores that offered a large variety of machine-made goods. While some might argue that Industrialization had primarily negative consequences for society because of poor working conditions, it was actually a positive thing for society. Industrialization’s positive effects were transportation became more efficient, more jobs were available, and more inventions were created.
The Industrial Revolution was a revolution in every sense of the word, as it altered almost every aspect of live in the nineteenth century including technology, government, communication, environment and eventually society as a whole.1 Although industrialisation created many positives for modern society, for people in Britain up to the end of the nineteenth century it had many significantly negative consequences. With the long term advances made for society came the then current development of overcrowding cities abundant with pollution, health problems and poor living conditions for the working class. These poor conditions continued into the work place with young children exploited as workers as young as the age of four or five.2 There were consequences of the Industrial Revolution for people outside of the core of Britain. India, being the periphery in the model were exploited for their raw materials which were exported to Britain.

Industrialization changed the lives of the people of this nation. By the late nineteenth century, with advances in technology, communication, and transportation, a new type of industrialization was formed, a global one.
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 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.
industrialization was a big step for the world. “The first had come on a wave of new inventions in iron making, in textiles, in the centrally powered factory, and in new ways of organizing business and work. In the latter 19th century, a second wave of technical and organizational advances carried industrial society to new levels” (Document 3). As industrialization grows, people are inventing more and more items, which changed civilization. Examples are the telephone and the railroad, which have been recreated
While Industrialization led to a dramatic increase in the production of goods, created jobs, and generated a demand for natural resources, it brought about over-crowded cities, dangerous living conditions, and the unfair treatment of workers. Beginning in around 1760, Europe went through a massive development of industry, that started with the introduction of new technology to the production of goods. Seeking work, the masses began to gravitate towards towns and cities, leading to rapid urbanization, and an available workforce. There were many positive affects to the Industrial Revolution. Greater production of goods, employment, and the necessity of natural resources were all favorable consequences of Industrialization.
While some might argue that Industrialization had primarily positive consequences for society because of better transportation, better housing conditions, less disease, electricity, and new better products, it was actually a negative thing for society. Industrialization’s negative effects were child labor, many deaths, diseases, missing limbs from machines, the machines were not designed for kids to work with, dynamite or explosive warfare, big business cartels, deformations, corrupt businesses, less family time, pollution, and poor working conditions.
After the 1800’s, the United States economy began to change drastically through industrialization, big cities, and factories. All of these changes greatly affected daily life, labor norms, and trade. There were new technologies in people’s lives that helped the way they communicated and travelled. Factories produced items faster and big cities led to more money, and more opportunities. The government gave support to the market revolution in the ways they were capable of doing so to help facilitate economic progress.
The Industrial Revolution could possibly be the most important event in the history of our world. Before it, people worked mostly on farms or sold things through the market that were hand crafted. This revolution brought about great change in the ways that we produce goods and the economies of the world. While some might argue that Industrialization had primarily negative consequences for society because of the rough working and living conditions, it was actually a positive thing for society. Industrialization’s positive effects were an increased standard of living, better means of travel, and more developed countries with better economies.
The Industrial Revolution has had a tremendous impact on the whole world. But because of its British origin the people living on the island bore most of the hardships and went through the quickest and most radical change out off all the people affected by this movement. The beginning of the movement can be traced to 1750 and continued through to about 1870. Although Britain was the epicenter of this change not many countries were unaffected by this. It may be argued that the reason the Industrial Revolution spanned a period of 120 years was due to it transforming a large-scale culture as opposed to a quicker change in a small-scale 'Arembepe' like culture. Subsequent to the revolution, agricultural growth took a backseat to technological
