We now face other perils, the very existence of which it was impossible that they should foresee. Modern life is both complex and intense, and the tremendous changes wrought by the extraordinary industrial development of the last half century are felt in every fiber of our social and political being. Never before have men tried so vast and formidable an experiment as that of administering the affairs of a continent under the forms of a Democratic republic.

Upon the success of our experiment much depends, not only as regards our own welfare, but as regards the welfare of mankind.
Taking a Stand: The Industrial Revolution The Industrial Revolution was one of the biggest landmarks in history, in my opinion. It brought out this growth of ideologies.

They all had their reasons and much intellect behind their ideologies, whether they were contextualized in political sense as well as the social sense. There was a clash of thought as well because they were all so different.

The American Century built a completely new era of economic order. Globalization and Americanization soon became accentuated in the world’s economy with similarities between American consumers and other nation’s consumers.

Coney Island was an escape and a business opportunity for a multitude of people. John F. Kasson’s Amusing the Millions, proves that Coney Island reflected the emerging urban industrial society, the social structure was an extreme opposite to that of the city, and the dramatic change in culture that Coney Island enhanced. The drastic comparison of Central Park to Coney Island shows how much the two have affected America, one way more extremely than the other.

Great Britain was the first to undergo the Industrial Revolution which was a time where factories, roads, and job opportunities opened. Other things were found that could power machines up.
