Causes of the Industrial Revolution Presentation on Early Industrial Revolution Industrial Revolution Pre-Industrial Economics There were several modes of production, and realities of production, prior to the industrial revolution. Remember, there were no ff the rack clothing stores, no trains or trucks, and so no one produced things in factories. Nearly everything was produced at home by individual craftsmen. In most cases, with the exception of the putting out system, each craftsperson saw each item through the entire process, from raw material to finished product. This is a long process, and a craftsperson needs to earn enough to pay for the materials and the time. Prices were high. Putting-out System England First As we saw in the last presentation, England was in a unique position to be the first to industrialize. This was not because England possessed any special attributes. It was because of a unique combination of factors. Those included a growing population, new agricultural methods which led to a concentration of wealth, colonies and the transfer of wealth from them in the form of raw materials and labor, environmental problems that forced the English to develop the use of coal for energy, and systems for mining it, a government which was stable, and whose tax policies encouraged wealth production, a central bank which provided paper money and simple financing, thus improving cash flow so the English could take advantage of their newfound wealth, and a growing market that encouraged productivity enhancing inventions.

The Industrial Revolution, we're often told, started back when cottage industry was replaced by factories. The results were widespread, ramifying throughout society. Before the Industrial Revolution, artisans worked in or alongside their homes, often with children observing and even helping. After the Industrial Revolution, workers were segregated in factories, where specialized facilities took advantage of new technologies, and of the economies of scope and scale that those technologies made available. Blacksmiths could make steel or work iron in small quantities, but foundries could do it better, and cheaper. Of course, with the workers off at factories learning the kind of skills like punctuality and the ability to follow orders that factories required, something had to be done with the kids.

The “Industrial Revolution” in the Home: Household Technology and Social Change in the 20th Century by Ruth Schwartz Cowan
When we think about the interaction between technology and society, we tend to think in fairly grandiose terms: massive computers invading the workplace, railroad tracks cutting through vast wildernesses, armies of woman and children toiling in the mills. These grand visions have blinded us to an important and rather peculiar technological revolution which has been going on right under our noses: the technological revolution in the home. This revolution has transformed the conduct of our daily lives, but in somewhat unexpected ways. The industrialization of the home was a process very different from the industrialization of other means of production, and the impact of that process was neither what we have been led to believe it was nor what students of the other industrial revolutions would have been led to predict. Some years ago sociologists of the functionalist school formulated an explanation of the impact of industrial technology on the modern family. Although that explanation was not empirically verified, it has become almost universally accepted.' Despite some differences in emphasis, the basic tenets of the traditional interpretation can be roughly summarized as follows: This sociological analysis is a cultural artifact of vast importance. Many Americans believe that it is true and act upon that belief in various ways: some hope to reestablish family solidarity by relearning lost productive craftsbaking bread, tending a vegetable garden others dismiss the women's liberation movement as "simply a bunch of affluent housewives who have nothing better to do with their time." As disparate as they may seem, these reactions have a common ideological sourcethe standard sociological analysis of the impact of technological change on family life.

The Industrial Revolution and the Plight of Men
The Industrial Revolution brought about increasing employment of women. The feminists of the time didn't like that, because they thought that women's place was in the home, that work outside the home was men's domain, and that home — not working for wages — was women's domain. They fought long and hard to achieve the separation of home and work along those lines. The achievement of those goals was one of the outcomes of the Victorian age. The goals and details of that struggle are documented in the book There’s No Place Like Work How Business, Government, and Our Obsession with Work Have Driven Parents From Home, by Brian C. Robertson ( see the review At first glance it boggles the mind that today's feminists want so badly to undo all of what their grandmothers and great-grandmothers worked so very hard to achieve. However, the explanation of that turn of events is not difficult. The controlling faction of feminism during the Victorian age was conservative, pro-family feminism, while today's controlling faction is Marxist- or socialist feminism , a brand of feminism that is considered by many to be nothing other than communism in drag Just like pure and unadulterated communism has as its primary goal the planned destruction of the family — with the family being the building block of the patriarchy or any well-functioning society — so radical feminism, too, wants nothing more than the destruction of the family, all under the pretense of the liberation of women from oppression by the patriarchy and, most of all, oppression by men.

Industrial Revolution and the Standard of Living
by Clark Nardinelli Between 1760 and 1860, technological progress, education, and an increasing capital stock transformed England into the workshop of the world. The industrial revolution, as the transformation came to be called, caused a sustained rise in real income per person in England and, as its effects spread, the rest of the Western world. Historians agree that the industrial revolution was one of the most important events in history, marking the rapid transition to the modern age, but they disagree vehemently about various aspects of the event. Of all the disagreements, the oldest one is over how the industrial revolution affected ordinary people, usually called the working classes. One group, the pessimists, argues that the living standards of ordinary people fell. Another group, the optimists, believes that living standards rose. The debate over living standards is important because it represents a place where the critics and defenders of capitalism meet head-on. It is no coincidence that the debate heated up during the Cold War. The pessimists wanted to show that the English industrial revolution, which took place within a capitalist economy, necessarily made working people worse off. Optimists defended capitalism by showing that the industrial revolution made everyone better off. This disagreement over the standard of living is confined almost entirely to academicians. Most other people, if they think about it at all, consider it well established that the industrial revolution was a disaster for the working classes. Indeed, the ghastly images of Dickens's Coketown or Blake's "dark, satanic mills" dominate popular perceptions of what life was like during the early years of English industrialization. Economic historians, however, have gone beyond popular perceptions to try to find out what really happened to ordinary people.

Background
The key British industry at the beginning of the 18th century was the production of textiles made with wool from the large sheep -farming areas in the Midlands and across the country (created as a result of land-clearance and inclosure Handlooms and spinning wheels were the tools of the trade of the weavers in their cottages, and this was a labour-intensive activity providing

The Industrial Revolution
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Industrial Revolution was a period of of the 18th century marked by social and technological change in which manufacturing began to rely on steam power, fueled primarily by coal, rather than on water or wind; and by a shift from artisans who made complete products to factories in which each worker completed a single stage in the manufacturing process. Improvements in transportation encouraged the rapid pace of change. The causes of the Industrial Revolution remain a topic for debate with some historians seeing it as an outgrowth from the social changes of the Enlightenment and the colonial expansion of the 17th century. The Industrial Revolution began in the English Midlands and spread throughout England and into continental Europe and the northern United States in the 19th century. Before the improvements made to the pre-existing steam engine by James Watt and others, all manufacturing had to rely for power on wind or water mills or muscle power produced by animals or humans. But with the ability to translate the potential energy of steam into mechanical force, a factory could be built away from streams and rivers, and many tasks that had been done by hand in the past could be mechanized. If, for example, a lumber mill had been limited in the number of logs it could cut in a day due to the amount of water and pressure available to turn the wheels, the steam engine eliminated that dependence. Grain mills, thread and clothing mills, and wind driven water pumps could all be converted to steam power as well.

The Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution began in England in the eighteneeth century and quickly spread across Europe and North America. New technology and inventions
transformed an agricultural and commercial way of life into a modern industrial society. Changes brought about by the Industrial Revolution revolutionized families and lifestyles as the factory system drew workers away from the rural family economy to urban areas.
What were these changes? What was life like in these rapidly growing cities? What was life like for these new factory workers? Why did workers begin to organize into labor unions? What were the positive and negative results of the Industrial Revolution? How did the industrial revolution effect different groups of the population?

Photo: Dean Sewell Even the Government's usual sympathisers are shocked at the extent of the planned workplace changes, writes Nick O'Malley. John Buchanan, the deputy director of Sydney University's workplace research centre, believes we are "seeing the recasting of Australian society from the ground up. Once upon time Australians believed that an employer who could not afford to pay a living wage did not deserve to be in business. That's over. Now anything goes." And Joe Catanzariti, head of industrial relations for the law firm Clayton Utz, whose clients include some of the nation's largest employers, believes Howard's plans mark the end of collective bargaining in Australia. He thinks that once the Federal Government sets up a national industrial relations system, no Labor government will be able to afford the expense and difficulty of re-establishing the state systems. Nick Economou, a senior politics lecturer at Monash University, says that now Howard's plans are on the table, at least in broad terms, unions must not only demonstrate their relevance, but fight for existence. And he suggests it can't have escaped Howard that nobbling the unions might hobble the ALP.

Touring Turn-of-the-Century America,

In the decades following the Civil War, the United States emerged as an industrial giant. Old industries expanded and many new ones, including petroleum refining, steel manufacturing, and electrical power, emerged. Railroads expanded significantly, bringing even remote parts of the country into a national market economy. Industrial growth transformed American society. It produced a new class of wealthy industrialists and a prosperous middle class. It also produced a vastly expanded blue collar working class. The labor force that made industrialization possible was made up of millions of newly arrived immigrants and even larger numbers of migrants from rural areas. American society became more diverse than ever before. Not everyone shared in the economic prosperity of this period. Many workers were typically unemployed at least part of the year, and their wages were relatively low when they did work. This situation led many workers to support and join labor unions. Meanwhile, farmers also faced hard times as technology and increasing production led to more competition and falling prices for farm products. Hard times on farms led many young people to move to the city in search of better job opportunities. Americans who were born in the 1840s and 1850s would experience enormous changes in their lifetimes. Some of these changes resulted from a sweeping technological revolution. Their major source of light, for example, would change from candles, to kerosene lamps, and then to electric light bulbs. They would see their transportation evolve from walking and horse power to steam-powered locomotives, to electric trolley cars, to gasoline-powered automobiles. Born into a society in which the vast majority of people were involved in agriculture, they experienced an industrial revolution that radically changed the ways millions of people worked and where they lived. They would experience the migration of millions of people from rural America to the nation's rapidly growing cities.

Introduction: The Industrial Revolution had a profound effect on all levels of society in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. How people lived and worked changed significantly during this time. You will explore the following questions:
Task
Process Resources Evaluation
How did daily life change as a result of the Industrial Revolution?
Did the benefits outweigh the problems generated by these societal shifts?
Did living conditions improve or not as technological changes swept through England and the rest of Europe?
Did industrial growth contribute positively or negatively to society?
How did family life change as a result of the Industrial Revolution? Task: The class will be divided into three groups. Each group will examine the Industrial Revolution and its impact on social classes - the lower class, the middle class, and the upper class. Each social class experienced problems and benefits as a result of industrialization. Group #1 will represent the interests of the lower class (male, female and child factory workers, agricultural laborers).

Development of the scientific management approach during the industrial revolution.
The impetus for the industrial revolution developed by the seventeenth century. Agricultural methods had improved in Europe to the extent that surpluses were generated. These surpluses were used for trade. Trade routes were by this time expanding, on a global scale, including those to the East and the Americas to the West. Technical advances were being made, most importantly in textile manufacturing, notably in the eighteenth century, Hargreaves's spinning jenny, Arkwright's water frame and Compton's mule. The steam engine first developed in 1698 by Thomas Savory, was harnessed by James Watt. Improved hygiene and diet led to expanding populations. These factors, technological developments, expanding trade/ markets, growing populations created opportunities for merchants and entrepreneurs to invest in new factories. This was the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. With it came the need to improve work methods, quality, and productivity. The Factory System Adam Smith, in the eighteenth century advocated making work efficient by means of specialization. He advocated breaking the work down into simple tasks. He saw three advantages of the division of labor;
