the fast fashion industry promotes a culture of obsolescence. Consumers are constantly purchasing and consequently disposing of unwanted textiles. Cline mentions that many “second-hand stores only have about three weeks to a month to sell most of their donated clothes” (Ethical Fashion pg 3).

specifically the invention of the cotton gin. After graduating from Yale in the late 1700s, Eli Whitney moved to Georgia and took up a job as a tutor to pay off his student debt. After failing as a tutor, Whitney was referred to his landlady by a friend as a “person of both mechanical ability and social skills” (Wren and Greenwood). Whitney’s landlady, a woman by the name of Catherine Greene, exploited his skills and asked him to devise a machine that could pick apart the cotton fibers…
and to countries, cotton, iron, and improved working conditions are examples of what changed the world, and began the mold of our modern society. The questions that I will answer are how did the Industrial Revolution Change European society, and how it made life better for some and worse for others.

War capitalism needed the division of the world into inside and outside and they relied on the rich or the ones that had the power to divide these units. The inside and outside are very different, the inside is state enforced…
Since cotton required large amounts of land to grow on, a nation had to be totally committed to its production to make any profit. Because South-Eastern America had large amounts of unsettled land, it made it the perfect place to grow cotton. This allowed cotton to become prevalent in these areas. Originally, the cotton was grown on small farms which eventually expanded into large plantations. Eventually, land was…
have to agree that the Eli Whitney's cotton gin was good for the American economy. Even though the cotton gin reduced the labor involved in removing the seeds from the cotton bolls, it however did not reduce the necessity for slaves to grow and pick the cotton. As a matter of fact, the cotton gin produced an opposite affect. The cotton gin made cotton farming so profitable, that farmers greatly increased their demand for both land and slave labor. The cotton gin was invented in 1793 by Eli…
