The middle class believed that because they were the ones working and earning the country’s wealth, they were deserving of the vote. Indeed, there was growing respect for the so-called urban artisans and the skilled working class whose voices were only now beginning to be heard. As the population moved away from rural areas into towns and cities, the landowning aristocrats of those rural areas started to lose their power. With people living and working closer together and improved communication, ideas like democracy and liberalism increased dramatically in popularity. However despite all of these changes in attitudes Britain was still primarily ruled and governed by the upper and upper-middle-class aristocracy.
The Best and Worst of Americas Presidents Throughout U.S history there have been many good presidents and also many bad presidents. I believe that presidents should be graded on how they handle the economy, foreign policy, and equal rights. From our first president to our current president those I believe are the three most important grading points. A good economy is very important because it gives people a better living by giving them job opportunities and a way for people to make money. Foreign policy is important because it has a lot to do with the trade, technology, and communications of the United States.
At the top of the society there was a Monarch, and there were Nobles and Landowners, who controlled the land. There were peasants and farmers, as well as a very large population of serfs, who were commonly born into serfdom and had no way of escaping. (Cantor, pg 70) Since 90% of the wealth of Europe lay in the land at the time, it was common for Landowners to control peasants. Since they had all control of all raw materials and tools of production, it was becoming increasingly easier for the land owners to lower wages, creating a sharp division between the rich and poor; in wealth as well as power. (Tuchman, 38) The middle or working class was very small, so they did not have much influence on society.
Explain why in the years 1906 to 1911, Stolypin attempted to reform agriculture. (12 marks) Stolypin attempted to reform agriculture for many reasons, one of the most important being to strengthen tsarist autocracy. He strongly believed that the future of Russia depended on building a prosperous peasantry. There was widespread rural poverty but an upper class of peasant that farmed efficiently and were wealthier, they were known as the Kulaks. Stolypin believed that the encouragement of a class such as the Kulaks would make them hostile to further change therefore more conservative and loyal to the Tsar as the Tsar had made them wealthy.

When it came to this theory workers were punished and rewarded. This approach appeared to work well for organizations with assembly lines and other mechanistic, routinized activities.”(Carter McNamara, 2009) Also, Taylor was known as the “father of management thought.” He developed four principles to increase efficiency in the workplace based on his own experience and observations as a manufacturing manager (George, 2009, p.43). “According to Taylor, management needed to do three things to increase productivity (and thus profits). First, the most efficient tools and procedures had to be developed and applied. Here, Taylor relied on so called time and motion studies, which concentrated on identifying the most economical set of physical movement associated with each step of a work process.
Jared says, "People around the world who had access to the most productive crops becomes the most productive farmers".

Slavery was extremely common in Rome during the first century. Slavery in Rome was extremely important not only for the ease of life but also to the wealth of their economy. Their Empire depended on it. There were many situations in which slaves produced lots of money for the city of Rome and the Roman Empire. Firstly, hundreds of Roman slaves worked on the Latifundia farms, growing crops to feed the population of Rome thus making huge profits for the farm owners.
The combination of comfort with English, combined with the relatively liberal political and media environment of India, is resulting in a huge American influence on this middle class. Also contributing are the increasingly strong people to people links between America and India. The middle class is thus developing aspirations that are in line with this psuedo-western mindset. It seems that for now these aspirations are mostly consumerish and professional, not political”. But the most defining feature of this middle class has been the fact that despite moving up the ladder in the consumption chain, it has not lost view of its “traditions” which does appear contrasting but is the path chosen.
