Discuss how democratic Britain became during the period 1830-1918 Britain underwent significant social and political changes from 1850-1918 and these changes resulted in the government and country becoming more democratic. The years before the first world war saw a huge change in Britain. The country became much more modernized and urbanized and this change in Britain put a strain on old aristocratic constitution. It was a time when citizens were becoming increasingly aware of the lack of democracy within the country. This essay plans to analyse and explain the extension of the franchise from 1830 and to asses whether Britain was fully democratic by 1918.
Prompt 4: Analyze artistic and literary responses to industrialization over the course of the nineteenth century. The Industrial Revolution of the late 18th century and throughout the 19th century had a dramatic impact and influence on European life. While many aspects of life and society changed in response to these new developments, art and literature were heavily impacted as well. Three major forms of artistic responses to industrialization were Romanticism, Realism, and several new revolutionary styles of and made in reaction to the invention of the camera. All of these various styles responded to the industrialization of Europe in their own unique fashions, and resulted in a strange conglomeration of art, ideals, and themes.
All three Revolutions played significant part in what came to be a significantly liberalist Europe, including Industrialisation. This essay will explain just in what way the Revolutions and Industrialisation led to the overall rise of liberal government in Europe during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The French Revolution marks the beginning of the liberal movement taking shape in Europe. Not only was the monarchy in crisis (on the verge of bankruptcy after extreme spending and France’s Involvement in the American Revolution), but the people of France were also victim of poor harvest, the worst of which were in 1775 but were still significantly bad in both 1787 and 1788 (Merriman, 2004). On top of there being a scarcity of resources, the people of France were subject to also having to pay high costs for grain, a staple food in France.
The United States changed dramatically in a very short time after the Revolution, the transition was not an easy one, militarily, politically, and culturally. Socially, the new emphasis on egalitarianism and individual rights changed the relationship and roles. America’s call for freedom from British oppression while still being a slave society was undeniably ironic, yet, the Revolutionary movement initiated serious consideration of the issue of slavery. Both Americans and the British made various arguments concerning the irony. As slave-owning and slave trading were accepted routines of colonial life, slavery would play a central part in the language of the revolution.
Evolution of Colonial Labor Systems The Columbian exchanged offered the exploration, conquest, and settlement of the New World; a new world that with the arrival of Europeans in the Americans resulted in what was perhaps the greatest demographic collapse in history. It is stated that the native population around 1492 have been between fifty to sixty million and by the end of the 16th century it was reduced to five or six million. The decline in the native population and the expansion of other social groups was a consequence of the introduction of old diseases and the arrival of immigrants who set in motion economic, social, and political changes that altered the character and distribution of the population. Through the political aspects
Romantic authors were a diverse group of individuals, with a variation of backgrounds, religious beliefs and individual points of view. The Industrial Revolution in Britain saw the migration of rural citizens into towns and cities, causing overpopulation and poverty, as manufacturing developed because of new technology. The societal class structure was changing rapidly and a new wealthy class was beginning to emerge through trade. The French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars influenced writers during this era as they began to question societal values; choosing to explore ideas of liberty and equality. Austen's writing was arguably influenced by social and economic transformations during this time.
Also, political events affect social policy; past examples include the World Wars and the elections of certain prime ministers. Ideologically, social welfare was influenced initially by the Fabian Society, established in 1884, which “challenged conservative political assumptions that economic markets could meet the welfares of all” which in turn, influenced the Royal Commission’s review of the Poor Laws, then, the establishment of the London School of Economics (LSE) (Alcock, 2008a). However, from “1970s onwards, the focus of social policy began to move beyond the narrow confines of Fabian welfare-statism” (Alcock, 2008a). Finally, the economic context of a country inevitably influences the development of its social policy. For instance, the New Left and New Right, which began to form in the 1970s, often focused on the economy when analysing state welfare and what's more, at this very moment the debate over state welfare and benefits is intense due to the current economical climate.
Cultures in North & South America November 4, 2014 European exploration to the new world brought new changes in trade, technology and demographics. Europe experienced radical economic and social changes during the 11th and 14th centuries. The medieval world was based on feudalism; a system that used social stratification to distinguish order and responsibilities. Because of the increase of population and power in these estates, people were
Abstract In this study, I try to present some theories, which is developed by demographers to explain demographic transition in the light of social and economic condition.I focus on the impact of radical events such as industrialization, agricultural revolution, the rural, urbanization which is changed the structure of societies and how this events influence the people decisions about fertility behavior during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.Also try to make comparrison between theories to discuss advantages and disadvantages and limitation of this theories which is related with demographic transition. Key Words:Demographic Transition, Theory, Fertility Introduction Demographic transition model is one of the most widely used model to describe demographic transition and the changes of indicators. In other words, the process of demographic transition examine various aspects of population, such as; births, deaths, marriages. This model divides change in the levels of fertility and mortality into four main periods. At the first term birth and death rates were high and at the balance.
EC831 Research Project What were the main characteristics of British macroeconomic fluctuations from 1790 to 1914? Analyse how the determinants of cyclical fluctuations changed over this period. Abstract The theory of the trade or business cycle has been an important topic for economic researchers and this concept became more prevalent throughout this period for many reasons; most notably being the impact of the industrial revolution. Not only did the characteristics of cyclical fluctuations change over this period, but the variables that affected the fluctuations changed significantly. Some of the contributing factors became more prominent whereas other factors had almost completely lost their significance by the end of the period.
