These studies refer to the change of the family form from an extended family to an `isolated nuclear family`, the movement from a rural area to an urban area and from agriculture system to the mass production of goods in a factory system. In view of all this however what can be said is that industrialization changed the family by converting it from a unit of production into a unit of consumption. First work to be referring to is that of Talcott Parsons in his study “the isolated nuclear family”, in which he claims that the isolated nuclear families are needed for industrial societies because they provide a more geographically mobile work force then the extended family. The second work to be referring to is that of Michael Young and Peter Wilmott in the “the symmetrical family” book, in which they suggest that the family has gone through four main stages to develop into a symmetrical family in which industrialization separated home and work and created male bread winner role. final work to be referring to is that of Michael Anderson in which he studied `the town of Preston in 1851s census data`, and argues that the extended family was mostly found between poor families.
The technological advancements led to the emergence of factories and an exploding population surrounding them. Many advantages were gained during the Industrial Revolution, but it also had profound consequences on society. Two major social consequences included urbanization and child labor. During the Industrial Revolution there was an immense demand for cheap, unskilled labor. Families moved from rural areas to the newly industrialized cities to find work.
Nuclear families are of 2 generations, i.e. Parents and their children. Functionalists believe that industrialisation has led to an increase of nuclear families. In pre-industrialisation times, there were more extended families and was an agricultural society. The extended families worked together for production and to support each other until industrialisation began and referring back to Item B, the nuclear family became popular because it led to greater geographical mobility which means they will lose contact with the extended kin.
Both the upper and lower classes were changed and they both had different experiences. Economic theories were developed as a direct effect of the revolution, economic theories such as capitalism and communism. Each theory benefited different social classes and each theory had its flaws. The industrial revolution caused the growth of cities to skyrocket. The majority of people in Europe lived in rural areas before the revolution and after the majority of people lived in urban areas.
GKE1 Task 4: Science and Technology as Engines of Economic Growth and Development Part A The First Industrial Revolution changed history dramatically. During this time we saw manual labor or working by hands transition to machinery. This led people to leave their farms to work in factories where mass production was being made (Annenberg 2013). During this time the production of steam power was invented. Steam trains and train tracks were being built to expand access across the United States.
This essay aims to explain and evaluate the view that there is greater diversity of family types and lifestyle today in contemporary British society. The first reason, which shows that there is a greater family diversity, is the classic extended family that still survives in contemporary British society; even functionalists assumed that the privatized nuclear family is replacing it as the most common type of family today. The classic extended family is divided in two communities; the traditional working-class communities, in which there is a little need for socially and geographically mobility, as individuals remain in the same area for long period of time because there are availability of industrial works e.g. fishing or mining in north of England, and this
History Essay Explain why parliament gave the vote to increasing numbers of people between 1867 and 1918? There were many reasons why the franchise was extended to increasing numbers of people between 1867 and 1918. These reasons included avoiding possible revolution, trying to win advantages for a political party, pressure groups, and the effect of the Great War, which acted as a catalyst and speeded up change and changing attitudes towards the lower classes. Another important reason for change was the effect of the industrial revolution which changed where people lived, how they worked and how they felt about their position in society. Finally, another
First of all, the Industrial Revolution created many changes in the work place and in overall human production. Work became highly regulated, and production moved from inside people’s homes to large factories. The idea of “Cottage Industry” slowly died. Soon steam powered factories moved
The industrial revolution introduced mass production and greater markets. The world was slowly transpiring into a global village, with all the new machinery and technology being produced. Ultimately, the industrial revolution was a turning point in history that paved the way for technological, scientific, and cultural advancements. However, with all these advancements, there are negative consequences to be faced. This can be demonstrated through the examination of urbanization, the rise of new classes, theories (by Smith, Malthus and Ricardo), and factory conditions.
The social and economic context in which O’Neill was formulating Yank as a character plays a role in his final depiction. The end of the 19th century in America was a time of mass industrialisation, which left the working class of America distinguished from that of the business class people who did not have to sell their labour for income (Green 3). During this time there was a shift from community based economics to individualism and capitalism which changed the view of society towards the workplace (Green 8). In the beginning of the 20th century the engineer Rautenstrauch presented his concept of society functioning as a machine, and each person, or “part” (Akin 57) having its own function and therefore society working in perfect harmony (Atkin 57-58). Yank is shown as a working class part of this
