Industrialization also caused an increase in urbanization. Social, political, and economic changes were caused by rapid increase in industrialization and urbanization that took place in the United State. The United States had industrialized and urbanized rapidly between 1890 and 1920, which caused many social changes in society. According to Jacob Riis, urbanization had caused tenements to develop in major cities. The build up of these tenements led to the rise of gangs (Doc 1).
He names it “City of the Big Shoulders” instilling the reader with vivid imagines of a broad, big-shouldered person, domineering and assertive. By extension, we can relate that personality to the city as a whole. As the reader approaches the end of the poem, Chicago is so personified that it seems more like a person than a place. The city has actually turned into one of its inhabitants with a heartbeat and a pulse. Sandburg creates an image of Chicago as a strong and burly, hardworking man.
When Carrie arrived Chicago was the largest and urban city in the Midwest. A city that was going through incredible growth and Dreiser outlines crucial aspects of the city’s growth in his novel, some that affect women greatly. Dreiser’s novel Sister Carrie dominates in statement rather than symbolism. The reader envisions a journey of a youthful country girl who moves to the big city and begins to recognize her personal ‘American Dream’. From the beginning of the novel Carrie comes
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.
Compare and contrast the urban visions of Ebenezer Howard and Le Corbusier. Which of these do you think provides the best blueprint for safe and liveable urban neighbourhoods? Ebenezer Howard and Le Corbusier have contributed many beliefs of urban visions, with Ebenezer’s vision of a Garden city and Le Corbusier’s vision of Cities of tomorrow, which are both their most effective of works. The importance of their works was that their ideas of a designed city were to improve the quality life of people, and by creating these ideas of a designed city it would have a major impact on crime, even though crime was not there motivation to their ideas. But in order to calculate levels of crime this would be done by observing them through theories of environmental criminology, which can interrelate towards Ebenezer Howards and Le Corbusier’s idea of an urban vision.

One thing I will say is that the cycle of urbanisation begins in the same way every time, it normally begins when the country hits and economic boom, whether it be through for example and industrial revolution, which London experienced, creating a solid economic base to start urbanising, as more people move in and more development is needed. I’d say the best measurement of urbanisation is the demographic transition model (DTM), for urbanisation it can be used to show countries at different stages of development, which is a key indicator whether urbanisation has occurred and what stage of the cycle they are actually in. London is a prime example as a city that has undergone, or is still undergoing huge urbanisation, dating way back to the industrial revolution which started a massive economic boom in the 18th century. London, being the capital of the United Kingdom, lies in stage three of the DTM, showing a high level of development. As I said before London’s urbanisation all began with the start of
Although there are many key elements of the rapid industrialization during the 19th century that aided in producing the outcomes (Urbanization, Social Classes/Living Conditions, Inventions), the most significant features that gave life to industrial and social progression were the introduction of mechanization, and the improvements made to transportation during the era of the Industrial Revolution. Mechanization: The first and one of the most important positive aspects of the Industrial Revolution was the mechanization of most labor methods, which allowed for a higher rate of production for and contributed greatly to the economic expansion and development of Western societies. The first example of mechanical introduction during the early years of the Industrial Revolution was that of the cotton textile industry. Prior to the inventions of Elias Howe (sewing machine) and

1. INTRODUCTION Throughout this paper we aim to offer a thorough analysis of the process of internationalization carried out by one of Germany's most iconic Company: Volkswagen. Born as an idea in the mind of Adolf Hitler in the 1930's, carrying today the iconic emblem of New York Cabs through the busy streets of Manhattan, Volkswagen has carried out an outstanding journey throughout history, surviving financial crisis and leading industrial evolution, eventually attaining an exemplary stage of transnational integration and efficiency. As such, it appeared to us as a perfect subject for analysis providing a consistent and complete basis for the exploration of internationalization strategy. 1.1.
