Agrarian republicanism is what Thomas Jefferson strived for America to take as a form of the nation. Agrarian republicanism consisted of a nation of small family farms clustered tighter in rural communities. As he was in the White House, he bred some new traits of the developing nation. Although Jefferson started to establish his clearly defined idea of what form the American nation should take of agrarian republicanism as president, there were many issues and forces that threatened its survival by 1826 including westward expansion, slavery, and the economics of the time. As seen in Document A, Jefferson’s vision of an agrarian republic nation consisted of farmers who work on their own land producing mostly subsistence crops, little or no slave laborers with a relaxed, unscheduled work pace, and a ranch surrounded by crops secluded from most others in a small community.
The colonist of America to their self no bigger believed they were or wanted to be British citizens so the Americans dragged Britain in 1775 by starting the revolution and the creating their own government in 1776. The French revolution on the other hand was start by a group out of the third estate made of merchants, artisans and professional known as the bourgeoisie. The bourgeoisie brake out in revolution due to tour major events: desire for a wider political role, the wish for -restraints on the power of clergy, monarchy and aristocracy, population growth and the Poor harvest of 1787-1788. The methods taken by the Americans and the French to achieve revolution were just as different as the causes of each revolution. On the American
Mary Shelley’s gothic promethean novel, Frankenstein (1818), was released during the industrial revolution as romanticism was thriving, while Ridley Scott’s futuristic sci-fi Blade runner (1992) grew with the dawning of a capitalistic increasingly globalised and technologically driven society. The comparative study of these texts encompasses themes of humanity and playing God through a tone of moral warning and allows the responder to explore how similar content in different contexts will reflect changing, but also constant values. Through the use of filmic techniques, Scott demonstrates how nature and religion are absent in a world overrun by consumerism and technology. Due to her context, Shelley alternatively uses imagery and allusions to hint at the consequences humanity will suffer if they try to better God through the misuse of science and the corruption of nature. Both of these texts reflect the distinctive contexts in which they were written; although separated by over 100 years of history, they still present similar issues and dilemmas which affected the form and features of the individual texts.
In the late 19th century, Russia began its process of industrialization following its defeat at the hands of Western nations in the Crimean War. Russia's Industrial Revolution was further helped along by its growing population and an increasing labor force. As the industrial process continued, it gave new job opportunities such as: in mining, factory work, and railroad construction. This influx of jobs was taken by an influx of people, where it came from the country to work in the cities as cheap laborers, taking up dangerous and low-paying jobs. In spite of all these changing times and circumstances, the tension between the upper and lower classes remained tenser than ever before, building up under the fabric of society.

But during his time, Marx witnessed the industrial Revolution bringing about conflicts between the capitalists and the proletariat, creating two classes in society – the rich and the poor. Marx sees the world as a class struggle – a struggle between the oppressor and the oppressed or a struggle between the bourgeoisie ( or the capitalists ) and the proletariat ( or the workers ). In The German Ideology Marx gives an account of European history to backup his ideas. He traces ownership of properties during different periods of time: when tribes hunted, fished for food, reared animals and kept slaves; tribes united and owned communal land and kept slaves; and during the middle ages, estate properties owned by the ruling classes with the peasants or serfs, replacing slaves as the other conflicting party. He describes how feudalism developed and how conflicts between the productive
Before the reforms were passed by Parliament, Britain was controlled by wealthy landowners and aristocrats. The workers began to realize they were not being well represented in the government. So the British citizens began to call for social and political reforms. The demands for reforms became too strong to ignore, and finally, Parliament agreed to change the electoral laws. While Parliament was agreeing to the Reform Act of 1832, one of its members, Michael Sadler was out investigating the treatment of children in the British Textile factories.
Workers gradually moved beyond the stage of individual, unorganized resistance to create organizations for collective action: benevolent societies and trade unions. 2. Mass movements persuaded the British government to investigate the abuses of industrial life and to offer ameliorative legislation that included the Factory Act of 1833(outlawed children under 9 working and limited work hours), the Mines Act of 1842, and the repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846. In Europe, the revolutions of 1848 revealed widespread discontent, but European governments did not seek reform through
New technology has changed the Pyrmont community, because it is able to open up new jobs, but also causes decline in jobs that are already there. Such as in the 1980s when the large freight industry was moved out of Pyrmont, due to the improvement of cargo ships, which enable more stocks to be transported, but could no longer fit in the docks of Pyrmont. These caused thousands of residents to leave Pyrmont in search of jobs that were lost at the docks, with thousands of men gone, businesses around Pyrmont quickly followed, as they made no money were they were. The development of transport has also changed Pyrmont, with more frequent services, many people living outside Pyrmont are still able to work there, getting there either by train, bus, taxis or car. New technology also changes work patterns in Pyrmont.
The industrial revolution completely changed the lifestyle of Victorian Britain. Suddenly, the focus wasn't on tilling the soil or land husbandry to make a living. Factories and commercial enterprise was the name of the game. When Queen Victoria ascended the throne in 1837, Britain had already started its transformation into a world power. Agriculture was slowly being pushed aside for manufacturing jobs.
