Lesson 3.7

famous? How was Napoleon able to take

over France? What was Napoleon’s “big

mistake?” If Mr. Sliwa were a rapper, DJ,

etc. What would his name be?

WEIRD Disney Fact of the Day!

The theme parks use a patented 'Smellitzer' device designed to pump certain scents around.

Whether it's a waft of sea salt in Pirates of the Caribbean or vanilla in Main Street.

Your senses are constantly being played son.

Your world is not real!

Pictures Exist Now, Yay!

Migration Because many new businesses begin and

older ones start to grow, people begin to move throughout countries.

This leads to Urbanization Urbanization: The movement of people

from rural areas into cities. Example: Manchester, UK

17,000 people in 177540,000 people by 178070,00 people by 1800

Urban People 2 main classes: Industrial Middle Class –

Owned and Operated private businesses, railroads, factories, etc. (entrepreneurs).

Industrial Working Class – WorkersVery PoorLived in dirty, overcrowded,

apartments20 + people living in one room…

Conditions in Factories and Mines

12-16 Hour Shifts No Safety

Standards/Mechanisms Very Poor

Ventilation/Cleanliness If you got sick….You got

FIRED!

Conditions in Factories and Mines

Machine operators were usually women and children, because…

Smaller hands Quicker (moving out of the way of things) You could pay them less

Life in the Mines

The Industrial Revolution = A higher demand for Iron and Coal. Why?

Miners were paid more than factory workers, but conditions were much worse.

Total Darkness (just a flashlight) Coal Dust = Black Lung

Children

Children had the most dangerous jobs!!! Children started working as early as 5

years old Jobs?

Hauling carts in mines and opening air vents.

Repairing factory machines – their hands were small enough to reach inside of the moving gears.

Why were conditions so bad? Laissez – Faire Economics = No

government intervention in business at all.

No enforcement of child labor, labor laws, minimum wage, etc.

This meant more accidents with virtually no punishment

Positives/Negatives

Positives:More Jobs!Wages Rose!Costs Went Down!

Negatives:- People Died- Terrible Working Conditions- Many children lost fingers and hands or got

diseases from the mines.

New Ways of Thinking

Populations EXPLODE! Socialism Emerges = Very radical

societal view. The idea that a community own a business and not private individuals.

The idea that there are people who are “HAVES” and people who are “HAVE NOTS.”

Breakdown

The “HAVES” = The bourgeoisie in France. They thrived on the luxuries of the Industrial Revolution. Owners of businesses.

The “HAVE NOTS” = Anyone who was over worked and poor. Almost everyone else.

The Rise of Communism

Karl Marx – Believed that a “Utopia” (perfect society) was possible.

So, he came up with: Communism = A form of

Socialism, but with no social classes and all people are equal. Equal pay, equal income, equal homes, equal food, etc…

The Rise of Communism

Under Communism, communities own the businesses.

People make the same amount of money and no one is ranked higher, or “better,” than anyone else.

On paper, Communism is a great idea!

Inventions New inventions would drive the industrial

revolution People invented things to solve problems they

were experiencing. Think of a problem in the modern world. Now,

come up with an invention that solves the problem:

On a separate sheet of paper:1. Identify problem2. Name your invention 3. How does it work? Description4. Picture/Sketch5. What is the cost of your invention?
