Argumentative Essay: No Electricity In The 18th Century

Decent Essays
In the early 18th century, there was no electricity. When our generation thinks about having no electricity, I assume that we would first think about not having electronics. What we should think about, is not having jobs or food. If we didn't have electricity, occupations would be very hard to find. I say this because we wouldn't be able to look up jobs that would be suitable for us. Plus, if you wanted a job at a store then you would only be able to work in the day because at night there wouldn't be any light. Fortunately, we can walk around our neighborhood and look for jobs. Additionally, we would have trouble getting food because packaging companies need machines to package the foods. Unfortunately, those machines would need electricity

A variety of methods are used to control the spread of this tree, including prescribed fire and mechanical/hand cutting, and although fire is a natural control of redcedar and less expensive per acre than cutting, it is at a disadvantage because of negative cultural perceptions of the use of fire, perpetuated by fire suppression campaigns in the past century. A number of agencies have implemented cost-share programs to educate and recruit landowners in the battle against redcedar, however these programs have not been assessed and there is concern that, due to the differences between agency missions and landowner missions, these programs aren't…

The way the second industrial revolution shifted from the first industrial revolution is quite a drastic change. The mass production of steel by pumping hot air through the pig iron to increase the rate at which we can produce it allowed us to expand into parts of the country that would be just tiring to travel to without the train.
