Cotton became the fabric of choice instead of wool, linen or silk. In this case the manufacturers of the other three may have had negative effects in their industries because they had competition but cotton was cheaper and easier to color. This gave people more affordable choices and industries a better way to make more money. Also the machines that came to be because of this part of the revolution lead to path for methods to be used in other areas like steam machines being used in boats. As a result cities grew faster and the economy was stronger.
This increased openess allows countries to specialise in producing goods which they have a comparitve advantage in (this means they can produce goods at lower unit costs) A multinational Company is a corporation that has its facilities and other assets in at least one country other than its home country. There are many examples of MNC's such as Nike or Primark. MNC's play a massive part in the development of globalisation as they often invest heavily into the country they move into. They will build good quality factories to produce the goods and also introduce effective manufacturing methods. These manufacturing methods can be replicated by other businesses in the countries and improve their ability to manufacture goods.
The use of machinery and mass production provided people with better clothing, cheaper housing and living necessity. The invention of rail road and steam engine made it easier to travel and trade. Document 5 and 6 also show the positive effect by mentioning the benefits of being employed. Women and children under certain employer are well feel and have decent clothing and housing. These to document however do not represent the majority of the working class since they only include a little town and a village with small population.
Evaluate the opinion that green belt (areas of land protected from urbanisation) land should be loosened to allow more house building in the U.K. (25 marks) (Use diagrams to help illustrate) There are many opinions on whether green belt land should be loosened to allow more house building in the U.K, some economists believe that it should be loosened, where others think the benefits wouldn’t outweigh the costs. If green belt land were to be freed up then it would mean there could be more houses built. As shown in the diagram on the right, an increase in supply would mean that the prices of houses would decrease. This could be a big benefit for the local economy as it would help first-time buyers to get onto the property
The industrial revolution improved the standard of living for some people; however it also made employment and living conditions for the poor and working classes very tough. Industrialization caused the standard of living to be more flexible than it

AP Customers/Partners: Those in business with AP have a direct
New technologies allowed business owners to reduce labor and the hours in the movement of materials from one point to the other. This occurred by using the new technology of railroads and machinery. Business owners used the railroads to transport their finished product and to ship the raw materials around the country more efficiently. The businesses are now able to use machines for lifting materials from one floor to another by the means
Sweatshops may exist in any country but are more commonly found in LEDC’s. Many of the clothes sold in retail outlets in MEDC’s are manufactured in factories in LEDC’s. In many industries, including the fashion industry, jobs have been lost in MEDC’s because goods and clothes can be produced (manufactured) cheaply and more efficiently in the poorer parts of the world. This is because manufacturing overseas is cheaper; the wages there are lower, due to lots of workers being available and there being no minimum wage. Therefore manufacturers make bigger profit.
Being able to settle in one area like an urbanized society was a big advantage. They did not have to constantly be moving area from place to place and also they could grow large amounts of food. Although growing your own crops is very hard, its better than moving around and they had a pretty good chance of supporting themselves for a lifetime. In an urbanized society they often had surplus so they had more spare time and that was a big advantage because that allowed people to develop technology like pottery and trade that for other valuable items. In a foraging society, they did not have a lot of spare time because they spent most of their time
Parsons believes this changed occurred due to society changing what it needs. Society need to change due to geographic mobility due to factories being created in one area and knocked down in another. Therefore people have to be able to just up roots and “follow the work”. The mobility would be a lot easier for a nuclear family than an extended family due to the fact that there are less people to move. Secondly there was a high demand for a socially mobile workforce.
