It also had a stable government, which allowed for the people to begin industrializing in the first place, harbors for trade, a very large population resulting in a very large workforce, and many water ways throughout the country to transport materials and products as well as to use for water power at mills. There are several reasons why the Industrial revolution started in the first place. One reason being that there was widespread resistance to disease in Europe as well as a reliable food supply, allowing for steady population growth, which in return created more demand for products, which in turn resulted in new ways of producing products more efficiently in response to demand. As a result of Industrialization, a new economic philosophy arose. Capitalism called for the lack of government intervention in the economy.
It was easier and quicker to be able to talk to other people or meet up with family. So overall new railroads did really help people socially. The next reason why the developments in transportation brought about social and economic change in the United States was because of all the different types of transportation. One of the new types of transportation throughout this time period were the steamboats invented by Robert Fulton. The steamboats really helped with trading goods with other countries.
The rapid growth of old and new industries led to a population migration from rural to urban areas. The agricultural industry was another of the industries that faced a lot of changes, mechanisation meant better yields which therefore meant that, less agricultural workers were needed. There is evidence to support and contradict whether or not those economic developments did in fact threaten the power of the elites. There is evidence to support the idea that the economic developments in Germany in the period 1900-1914 didn’t pose a threat to the power of the elites because economic growth and the opening up of new industries bring many benefits with them. While it has been argued that an exceptional economic growth caused some problems, the advantages that came with it, outweigh the negatives.
Progression from man-made spearheads to global networks, humans have actively utilized technology to better their quality of life. Technology is rapidly and consistently re-creating the way humans live their lives. From how they eat, work and travel to how they have fun, technology has transitioned to be an important part of today’s life. Today, most people live to be older, including a large number of those being from third world countries. The advancement of agricultural techniques and tools has made it easier for the world to produce more goods with less effort at lower costs.
This can be demonstrated through the examination of urbanization, the rise of new classes, theories (by Smith, Malthus and Ricardo), and factory conditions. The industrial revolution began with tinkers introducing new inventions that were going to dramatically improve the way people produced goods. These new machines (such as the water frames, cotton gins, power looks, and the spinning jenny) enabled different industries (like the Textile industry to produce products in mass quantities. In consequence, these new methods of production made other approaches such as the cottage industry obsolete. These new techniques may have allowed for ample production of goods and prices of goods to drop, ultimately increasing consumerism; inevitably though, it had a destructive effect on the old-fashioned methods of production.
To what extent did the policy of collectivisation achieve its objectives? Collectivisation was the process by which Russian agriculture was reformed. Traditionally, peasants had worked on small farms with very limited technology. Stalin planned to merge all the small farms into larger ‘collective’ farms. These new, larger farms would pool the labour and resources and therefore operate more efficiently.
They developed permanent settlements in the rich soil--> Neolithic Revolution. The effect of the Neolithic Revolution is increased population and regional trade. Stable food supply for permanent communities- surplus agriculture through advanced technology led to a diversified workforce. Complex institutions developed leading to a hierarchal socioeconomic structure based on class and wealth. Religion supplanted kinship groups as the political and social structure Epic of Gilgamesh (Poem)-Developmental Complex- the development of complex institutions is influenced by their environment.
Furthermore I will consider the growth of population as a consequence of higher food production, the environment of the farmers such as changes of relations between landlords and tenants, the transformation from fallow land to farmland and the improvement of seeds and plants. In the end I will focus on the mechanical inventions such as steamboats, spinning machines and steam locomotive together with improvements in transport. The industrial revolution refers to the transition from an agrarian to an industrial society from the late 18th century until the end of the 19th century. The age of the Industrial Revolution was characterized by a tremendous development of technology and science, a considerable increase in productivity, a profound change in the economic, social and demographic situation. The historical significance of the Industrial Revolution is comparable to that of the Nomad’s choice to settle down during the Neolithic revolution.
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).
It is also known as industrial agriculture as well and factory farming (intensive livestock production). The change in agriculture came in the late 1800’s when scientific discoveries and technology advanced. With mass production in the Industrial Revolution came nitrogen and phosphorus. These two new products were used to enhance plant growth. The use of synthetic fertilizers made plants grow and a faster pace.
