During the time period of 1800s through the early 1900s, much happened.

There were several medical theories that emerged and held their merit for a period of time. However by the 1900’s, one concept had dominated the medical landscape. The continued development of medical theories symbolized the increased complexity of thinking between physicians and scientists. During the 1800’s, major infectious diseases like cholera, tuberculosis, typhus, and yellow fever strongly emerged in Europe with the etiology of these infections far to be known. Some of the early concepts that could have explained such diseases included the ontological and physiological concept.…
As for this time period they had so many issues and without the Political powers we would still be in those issues.

Advancements in society will always have flaws, but the important thing is that the improvements outweigh the negative side effects. The Industrial Revolution was a time of major change that improved many aspects of life while also bringing along some negative effects. It began with improvements to the newly invented steam engine and involved the steam engine becoming a major source of most power. It was then used to power the new factories of the time leading to a new way of manufacturing that took advantage of these factories, allowing goods to be made faster, on a mass scale, while also lowering prices. This led to a major breakthrough in jobs as factories became more and more popular making jobs more available to the people.…

miasma could linger on the clothes and bedding of the infected as well (Slack, 437). However, there was debate about the origin of the miasma. Some said that God sent the miasma directly to Earth, others said that the miasma was due to certain alignments of the stars. German physician Konrad von Megenberg blamed the miasma on earthquakes caused by God. He believed that the earth held poisonous gases inside, and when God sent an earthquake, the poisonous air could escape through the cracks in the ground produced by the earthquake (Byrne 236).…

Life in this period has been described as “years of suffering and deprivation, as that “bleak age” in which the “evils of the Industrial Revolution” made themselves manifest”. However, this cold and unjust period gradually came to an end with the intervention of the government and implementation of new legislations that gave workers rights and privileges in their workplaces. The Coal Mines Act of 1842, for example, was passed to ensure that in coal mines “no female was to be employed underground [and] no boy under 10 years old was to be employed underground” . In 1833, The Factory Act was passed, requiring that “no child under nine should be allowed to work in textile factories; that children between nine and thirteen work no more than eight hours a day and receive a minimum of three hours of schooling per day; and that adolescents between thirteen and eighteen work no more than twelve hours a day.”…
The oppressed workers began to form union-like movements that demanded certain things for the workers. Similar movements to Britain’s People’s Charter and Marx’s International Workingmen’s Association led rebellions in several areas that stretched all across Europe. The year 1848 saw the biggest chunk of revolts. Revolutions happened in France, Italy, Britain, and Russia (Hunt 709-715).…
English mathematician and philosopher Alfred North Whitehead once said, “The greatest invention of the nineteenth century was the invention of the method of invention.” Those insightful words could not ring more true when spoken at the time. The world was changing and science and technology was at the forefront of this movement. New manufacturing processes were developed and instead of everything being hand-made, goods were produced in factories. As more new machines were invented, production became increasingly faster.…
Industrialization was a big part of how we live in the present day. We have so much more than the people did during the 1800s. There were both positive and negatives for this, yet some were more important. While some might argue that Industrialization had primarily positive consequences for society because of the economic growth, it was actually a negative thing for society. Industrialization’s negative effects were child labor, pollution, and harsh working conditions.…
