  1. Aim: What changes took place as a result of the new age factory system? Title: The Factory System Do Now: Reviewing last night’s homework. I need a few volunteers to read aloud their written analysis. In connection to the homework, did anyone have questions &/or comments? How about the PPT? Did you review it?

  2. Today’s focus: We will thoroughly examine how industrialization changed people’s lifestyles, living and working conditions. Industrialization = ?

  3. Objective I Review Ch. 22.2 in the hopes of completing the following chart.

  4. Changes the Way of Life • Inspires immigration • Creates a new social class Urbanization Unfair labor practices Child/Cheap labor Working conditions are bad Living conditions are bad

  5. England 1701 & 1911- population shift due to I.R.

  6. Social Changes:Population Increases • Many people immigrated to industrialized countries • Numerous nationalities to the United States • Irish to Manchester and Liverpool in England • Population growth in industrialized nations required growing even more food

  7. Social Changes: Development and Growth of Cities • Rural-to-urban migrants – people who left the countryside to live in cities • A sign of an industrialized nation is that a large proportion of the population lives and works in urban areas

  8. Social Change: Development and Growth of CitiesCase Studies: Liverpool and Manchester

  9. New Social Classes • Upper Class • Rich land owners - Old Money • Upper Middle Class • Entrepreneurs – New Money ________________________________ • Lower Middle Class • Skilled workers & shop owners • Lower Class • Factory workers, peasants, unskilled workers

  10. Urbanization

  11. Urbanization

  12. Industrialization • Effects of Industrialization • GROWTH OF INDUSTRIAL CITIES • Factories for efficient production • Urbanization: rapid movement to cities • POOR LIVING CONDITIONS • Small cities became too big too fast • Poor sanitary conditions • Insufficient housing, education, security • Air and water pollution

  13. Living Conditions: Tenements

  14. Slums of Urbanization

  15. Industrialization • Effects of Industrialization (cont.) • POOR WORKING CONDITIONS • 14 hour days, 6 days/week, poor pay • Workers had to keep up with machines • Child Labor

  16. Child Labor

  17. Poor Working Conditions

  18. Writing Exercise: Write a brief persuasive speech [not an analysis – a speech] to be given to the British Parliament in which you argue for human rights for the working class, with supporting reasons. Students may use topics of: a. child labor, b. unsafe working conditions c. wages and hours d. and living conditions. Students must use standard grammar, spelling, sentence structure, and punctuation in their speech.

  19. Homework# 09 (02/08/13; due: 02/11/13): • Read 22.3 2. Complete Section 3 Review (p.558), questions 1 through 4

  20. Independently - Please review slides 24 – 30 for further details surrounding I.R.

  21. Effects of I.R.~ Good and Bad Negatives included: • Life Span- In the mid 1800’s, life expectancy for adult males had reached an average of 40 years. • However, for working class people in urban settings that life span was only 17 years. • This was due to the horrific conditions children were subjected too in the early stages of the Ind. Rev. See pg. 262 in text. • Pollution- Cities simply outgrew their infrastructure. • Lacked both sufficient housing and adequate sewage systems. • Also, no environmental protections, thus factories discharged anything and everything without safeguards.

  22. Impact of the Industrial Revolution Social Change- In addition to a mass population shift to the cities (urbanization), there was also a shift in the distribution of wealth. -The IR helped to create a new middle class - skilled workers, professionals, business people and wealthy farmers. - It also created a down trodden and impoverished working class. - New social classes emerged.

  23. Effects of I.R.~ Good and Bad • Positive effects included: • Overall, all Industrialized Nations prospered, despite early growing pains. (Poor work and living conditions). • Industrialized Nations experienced rises in Population, wealth, and health. • A large middle class also developed, giving more people opportunities for education, democratic participation (voting), and social reform.

  24. In conclusion…. • Was the Industrial Revolution good or bad, more positive or negative? • Think about the Industrial Revolution as a whole as we watch the following video clip? Consider what was good or bad about the IR. • Mr. Blake's graduate school thesis presentation * Complete packet page 8 in the packet. ~be prepared to review in large group ~homework will be checked at this time * Art gallery/ editorial activity. Explained on next slide.

  25. Social Changes: Improved Status and Earning Power of Women • Initially, factory owners hired women and children because they worked for lower wages • This brought many women, otherwise impoverished, to cities to work in factories • Governments limited the work of children and, at times, of women • Women gained economic power and independence • Before industrialization, it was almost impossible for a woman to remain single and live on her own • Factories and urban centers attracted women in large numbers • Women fought for and eventually gained political rights

  26. Social Changes: Problems • Monotony of assembly lines and factory life • Loss of craftsmanship in manufactured goods • War became more deadly as weapons became more technologically advanced and were mass produced • Economic insecurity – workers relied entirely on their jobs for sustenance

  27. Social Changes: Science and Research Stimulated • Scientific and technological discoveries became profitable instead of simply beneficial • Companies and governments were willing to invest in research and development • Patent law • Came into its modern form under England’s Queen Anne (reigned 1702-1714) • Inventors have the exclusive right to produce their new inventions for a period of time
