I think you will always need bravery to overcome anything you don’t necessarily want to…

The Factory Act of 1833 was the first major legislation restricting the use of child labour in British textile factories. There had been previous reforms starting in 1803, however these attempts did not achieve much success. The Factory Act was the first act to introduce a ten hour work day for children under thirteen. More importantly, it created a system of inspectors to enforce the regulations. This was a significant reform that majorly affected the policies of textile factories. These…

The term globalization has many meanings such as technological and cultural processes. How often do you look at your article of clothing and/or other objects that you use in your day to day life, and see that it is made in a country other than US?

result, women workers can be paid lower wages, be trained easily, and can accept the discipline of factory life easily (Reddy, 2007; Poster, 2001; Kerr, 1999; Elson and Pearson, 1981). All of these “merits” were favoured by the profit-chasing capitalism…

cultural icon to stand for Women’s rights and feminist efforts. Rosie reflects the conflicts and spirit of her time through her profession as a wartime riveter. She represents the housewives, secretaries, and childcare workers who were called to the factories during the war. She now represents a generation of “Rosie’s,” the women who worked in traditionally male-dominated fields during World War II. Although Rosie the Riveter did originate in posters, she has developed into her own character…

They both had prior experience of imitation. Japan had copied from China and Russia from Byzantium and the Mongols. They knew that learning from the West could be profitable and wouldn’t destroy their native cultures. In Japan, the Emperor Meiji sent out samurai to parts of the West to pick up ideas.
