Another factor of changing gender roles might’ve been that since the development of agriculture, women didn’t have much to do in the new society created. 4) During the Neolithic Revolution, agriculture had spread from Asia to places like Northern Africa and Europe. Most humans had settled the Middle East but there were also many people in China and Japan. The dependence on wheat and rice substantiated because more people had settled in Asia and the supply was higher than anywhere else. Agriculture had changed human society
The Amish have coped with this situation in many ways. They have subdivided their farmland in order to grow diverse crops, increased their livestock and migrated to other states where farmland is cheaper and a majority of families work in cottage shops or rural factories in various trades. The rise of cottage industries and small shops marks an historic turn in Amish life. There are three new industries that they have embarked upon. One is home based operations in addition to bakeshops, hardware stores, quilt shops and repair shops to name a few that cater to tourist, but serve the needs of the Amish and non-Amish alike.
Scientific management and time-motion studies created a greater knowledge of production. With this knowledge, factory workers produced goods at an outstanding speed. By 1930 60% of families owned cars. The mobility of cars created more consumption because goods could be transported without the use "1 of trains. The economic boom gave more people throughout the United States the opportunity to enjoy themselves.
The massive number of European immigrants that entered into America’s east coast from the late 1800’s and on forever influenced the growth and development of the country. Fleeing crop failure, famine, rising taxes, and land/job shortages, many immigrants journeyed to the United States because it was perceived as the land of economic opportunity. With hope for a brighter future, nearly 27 million immigrants arrived in the United States between 1880 and 1920. The majority of the immigrants entered through Ellis Island, leading it to become the gateway to America and become recognized as a national symbol. Many of the immigrants, not knowing the way America worked, didn’t stray too far from the East Coast and moved into areas filled with people of similar languages, traditions, and beliefs.
When Queen Elizabeth took the throne in 1558, it is estimated that there were more sheep than humans in England. Unsurprisingly, given the number of sheep in England, the new industry transformed country’s economy. The people saw it beneficial to process wool and spin it into thread. This job was assigned to women, but men still contributed to the sheep business by mowing and plowing fields. By the late 1500s, England experienced a momentous expansion in the cloth-manufacturing business.
Development of Health Care Services Part One: Identify and give reasons for the developments in public health and health care provision in England during the 1800s to present day. Identify the changing demographic trends and social attitudes to the health during this period. Analyse the effect of these changes on the provision of public health amenities and health care. 1800's - Edwin Chadwick and his report into Sanitary Conditions In the early 19th Century due to the industrial revolution there was a large strain on all towns and cities. Urbanisation occurred due to better agricultural machinery, producing more food in rural areas, this accounted for a thriving population, however employment opportunities outnumbered population forcing people to migrate from rural areas to urban cities seeking employment from industrial factories (Jenkins 2002).
Agriculture was slowly being pushed aside for manufacturing jobs. By the end of the 1800's, 80 percent of England's population lived in cities. Industrialization and Engineering Steam-powered cotton factories enabled Victorian Britain to produce more than half the world's supply of cotton. Coal-mining around Newcastle also expanded rapidly to meet demand. With the upsurge in railway construction, moving goods to shipping ports became easy, while ship-building itself went forward at a rapid pace.
The majority of people in Europe lived in rural areas before the revolution and after the majority of people lived in urban areas. The growth of industry caused people to move to cities in order to work in the factories and find other work. Some cities in Europe expanded as much as 40 percent in a single decade (Document 9). Cities soon became overcrowded. In a picture from Document 8 people in poverty are shown being crowded together in a dark ally.
The industrial revolution has helped the nation and economy grown so much over the time but we know, nothing is perfect. With large factories come environmental hazards and with large buildings come migration issues for all animals. Over the years, we have learned that maybe we took too much too fast. The importance of the industrial revolution is endless. But looking back on it today, the world seems to be at a much quicker less wasteful speed.
The advancement of agricultural techniques and tools has made it easier for the world to produce more goods with less effort at lower costs. With improved medicines and advanced treatments, people can scan for illnesses that could have potentially killed them. The 20th century has been actively termed as the age of “information” by many historians. Worries about the disruptive effects of technology to individuals and communities have been commonplace since the Industrial Revolution. The remote American family farm gave way to large, crowded cities and eventually to more tranquil suburban living as a predominantly agricultural economy shifted to a large-scale industrial economy and eventually a small-scale entrepreneurial economy.
