Industrial Revolution Impact The Industrial Revolution period, from the 1760’s to about the 1840’s, was an impactful transition for Great Britain and from there, the world. People began to innovate; switching from human labor to machinery, iron production, water power, steam engines, and much more. As this transition began in Great Britain the world began to catch on and followed what Britain was doing. There is a saying that says “the empire on which the sun never sets on, the British empire”,…

Philippe Aries suggested that ‘childhood’ as we know it, has only recently appeared through social construction. I believe that children didn’t truly “exist” in the past. Up to recent years, children had to go to work at a young age and were expected to take on the role of a “mini-adult” by either working or taking care of a household, this was especially the case in the peasant and middle classes. Aries statement is valid in the sense of children having to become “young adults” as he’s stated…

There are always going to be the debates held on whether or not child labor is good or bad. It can often be difficult to understand when we consider child labor today rather than in the old days.

The Industrial Revolution came with great economic development for the United States. Taking place in the 18th to 19th centuries, what you found for the most part was agricultural, rural societies in Europe and America advancing to industrial and urban societies. Preceeding to the Industrial Revolution, which began in Britain in the late 1700s, manufacturing was often accomplished in the home's of the people, with basic machines and hand tools. Economic development marked a change to powered,…

I also believe a relativist would have a different view than universalism. Child labor exists in gold digging industry in Philippines because there is a demand in their economic. For example, the price to pay children to do the job is much less than to bring in advance technology and to afford modern machine. Because the size of children is smaller, it’s easier for the children to go under water and go underground to work. Indeed, a cultural relativist perspective would emphasizes that the…

The gifted laborers would turn yarn from fleece or cotton and after that wove it into small bits of fabric but, when the Industrial Revolution grabbed hold the new mechanically advanced machines could do the work of dozens of workers.

In order to find the best combination of using old way and new way of production, pros and corns of both ways of production should be identified and evaluated. The first negative impact of Industrial Revolution is “unemployment”. Obviously, replacing machines with human labor causes workers to lose their jobs. The second negative impact of industrial revolution is that the demand for natural resources was dramatically increased due to the fact that production had dramatically increased. Despite…

Things such as harsh working and living conditions, child labor which caused a deformity…
