Technological advancements, quality of everyday life, and poor working conditions became major issues raised by the growth of Manchester, and people reacted to these issues in both negative and positive ways. Manchester became a hub of technological advancements, causing both positive and negative effects on everyday life. As seen on the maps in Document 1, in the course of a hundred years, Manchester's size more than tripled. Canals and railroads were built and much more area was being developed. This would mean a much larger population working in factories and more people easily able to move to Manchester to work.
Karen may have been more upset at herself than her company. At the time she thought money was her main motivator. She came to the realization that out of the three motivators money, recognition, and cause (Gunn and Gullickson, 2007) that her main motivator was recognition. The fact that her main motivator was being fulfilled could be the reason why she undervalued her work and failed to ask for an adequate raise. Another assumption is that women often took jobs for the wrong reasons (Gunn and Gullickson, 2007).
Needless to say, the life of these factory works were far from easy. 3)Why do you think women and children were paid less than men for doing the same work during the Industrial Revolution? Women were paid less because before this industrial revolution jobs for women were basically non existent and by letting women run the machines they knew they could pay them less and hire more of them and get away with it because women were considered inferior to men and knew everyone would just turn a blind eye
I believe these will have an effect on me personally because an increase in employees is an increase in stress on the managers. They will have to take over our tasks as well as manage other employees and their tasks. 2. Describe someone you know who is struggling with setting reasonable work/life boundaries at work and at home, in your opinion, to what extent is it a difficult or easy process. I believe
There are many other people who are in the same situation and struggling to survive. I don’t think that unemployment benefits should be a lifelong crutch; however there needs to be a change to assist. People who have been diligently looking for jobs, going on interviews and settling for lower incomes are losing their homes, vehicles, services and self-dignity. There needs to be something formed to protect them and rehabilitate them. My mother now lives and depends on me not because she desires to but she has no other choice; this is not fair.
The war changed the United States in various ways; there were return wages and jobs were available leading to the growth of labor unions. The status of women and minorities were greatly affected .There were shifts towards equality and most of the civil rights were also affected. Despite this, everyone’s dream was victory in war and for this to happen they had to unite (Alan 72). The United States participation in the war at increased after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. It immediately went to war against Japan, Italy and Germany.

Any additional raise of minimum wage would totally jeopardize the everyday lives of all Americans. The fewer jobs available, because of the pay hike, will mainly be the cause of the lower class workers’ unemployment. Simply, the minimum wage debate is a touchy subject among many economists and political figures. There are an immense amount of arguments toward the good and bad aspects of minimum wage, but one incontrovertible fact is that a minimum wage elevation causes loss for businesses, as well as, working people. The larger businesses try to make things seem more at ease than they truly are.
According to the Center for Disease Control website, ” There was a dramatic increase in obesity in the United States from 1990 through 2010.” (2014) One thing that we are finding to remain rather consistent at the theatre is the number of male and female volunteers. However according to Shrestha and Heisler in The Changing Demographic Profile of the United States (2011), the number of working women has been on the rise. Because of the cultural changes we are seeing at the American Falls Theatre Guild, there are some practices that we may need to take a look at to make sure we are not excluding or offending anyone. Communication is always a large issue when dealing with volunteers. Trying
A major problem women encountered when entering the workplace was harsh sexism. Many men felt that there were certain jobs for women and that they couldn’t do things as well as the men. While women entered the working class, they encountered long hours and lower wages than their male counterparts.
