Industrialisation

The lessons of East and Southeast Asian’s industrialisation Introduction This paper seeks to discuss and analyse the lessons of East and Southeast Asian’s industrialisation. The importance of understanding the industrialisation lessons of East and Southeast Asian is because of the rapid growth that was achieved in the period of 40 years. These lessons are important for other developing countries who want to follow the path of East and Southeast Asian countries that successfully…

‘Proto-industrialisation’ is usually considered to be a phase in the development of modern industrial economies (Hudson, 1990) and possibly created conditions for the establishment of fully industrial societies. It is thus generally the term given to the phase that preceded industrialisation. It is Franklin Mendels, who invented the term and first used it in a dissertation on the Flemish linen industry (Mendels 1969/1981). Mendels arguments were first widely adopted by his peers but then were…

fatalism is an “inner, private, rebellion and subversion, like the colonized people displayed towards the colonizers” (Elson and Pearson, 1981, p.95). Other researchers argue that women workers have been resisting and protesting the capital industrialisation in their own diversified ways. Mills(2005, p.138) argues with empirical study in Thailand that low-wage migrant women workforce, far from being unorganizable, are already engaged in oppositional practice and collective action as “raised…

change is the growing human population and their development of industrialisation. This happened due to the demand for energy, such as coal, foods, such as fruits that aren’t in season, goods, such as clothes that couldn’t be made by hand and services and information.

temperature of the Earth since the start of the Industrial Era. The main influence is the enhanced greenhouse effect, this has occurred from fossil fuels being released into the atmosphere and deforestation for agriculture, urbanisation and industrialisation. The system that the enhanced greenhouse gases are affecting is the Carbon Cycle, by putting more carbon in the atmosphere, human activity is contributing to the warming of the Earth.…

Industrialisation had a huge impact on families between the 1750s and 1900s. Prior to industrialisation, society was characterised by extended families who were self-supporting and multi-functional (Steel et al, 2011). The pre-industrial family worked together as a productive unit that ensured the family had what they needed to survive. Production was a result of the family labour working on the land (Fulcher et al, 2011). Factory production in the 19th century replaced the domestic system and…

specifically changing attitudes towards the autocratic power held by the Tsar and a shift in the way many Russians viewed the Tsar himself.
