Prior to the industrial revolution, families and communities worked the land together
Life before the industrial revolution was rural-based and peasants and small landowners were at the mercy of the aristocracy and the church who held the power
The extended family tended to share a household in pre-industrial communities
The sense of community in the village came through the sharing of commodities and past times
A pre-industrial village might have looked like this. Buildings were simple and functional
The church was important in pre-industrial village life, it was often the heart of the village
1700-1800s Industrial Revolution
Cities grew with the influx of people coming in from the countryside to look for work (due to enclosures)
Factories were major employers of ex-farm workers as were potteries and mines
Conditions were tough in the factories and workers worked 12 hours or more a day 6 days a week
Even women and children were employed to fill labor shortages and were paid much less than men. But most women tended to the home and children
Steam engines meant transport of goods was easier and steam power meant factories mass produced to meet the demand for these goods
A capitalist society was born with businessmen paying poor wages to maximise profits. Banks, stock exchanges and investing began
Galileo Darwin The Scientific Revolution meant the power of the church broke down and there was movement toward a secular society
Colonialism meant business opportunities opened up, such as the wool industry in Australia, and slave labor was exploited. Indigenous peoples were slaughtered, imprisoned or enslaved. Capitalism stretched further
Tonnies More of a ‘me’ centered idea developed as old institutions dissolved and individualism was born.
Families became more isolated and out of this came the concept of the ‘nuclear family’ and the development of the housewife role. Men were the breadwinners and there was definitely a male-centred work ethic
