Conceptual Lenses Technology Change Power

Unit Overview This unit focuses on the Industrial Revolution, which brought huge changes to societies.

While French and others were rebelling, the English who had already experienced the English Revolution, were experiencing urban growth and industrialization due to their Agricultural Revolution (better farming methods less need for farmers) Cottage Industries Industrialization: Britain is the model Needs: Land, labor force, natural resources (raw materials), capital, energy/power, markets • Due to Exploration, British have access to these things. Inventions • Spinning Jenny: speeds production demand for cotton demand for slaves • Steam Engine: used in locomotives, ships, and pumps for water out of mines. • Bessemer Process: industrial process to mass produce steel using iron led to expansion of railroads and helped connect more people ♦ Speeds up trade process Factory System Built close to and powered by water Pull factor for people to move into cities. Unskilled labor used -- need for skilled laborers Use of child labor Conflict led to improved conditions Poor working conditions ECONOMIC CONFLICT Capitalism Profit Making without Profit Sharing Greed Adam Smith & Laissez-Faire economics • Government should stay out of the economy Urbanization Growth of the Middle Class and working class Environmental Consequences/results of # of factories & in # of people living in cities – housing and family issues

Quality of Life: factory owners, middle class, working class Society’s Response Middle class wants right to vote Working class wants better working conditions, labor rights/protection, and better pay/shorter hours Fertile ground for new ideas • Socialism/Marxism Philosophies that level playing field and • Communism ideally help equalize the population End with comparison between new ideas (socialism/communism) and capitalism
