The Industrial Revolution was a time of great change for the world. Manuel labor was replaced with machines, animal and human power were replaced with new sources of energy such as water and steam, the introduction of new and large amounts of raw materials (iron and coal), and the development of new transportation methods all paved the way toward a new age.

During this revolution, there were many great philosophers who made incredible contributions to science and changed the way people look at the world around them.

These fads impact our world in great ways by promoting self confidence and by developing jobs through out the world.
Genes are an intangible asset in which an individual has no control over. In recent years, scientists have acquired the knowledge to partake in genetic screening, a newly discovered practise which is the epitome of futuristic science. This practise has the power to reshape the world into one which has ‘discrimination down to a science’. This issue is one which is explored in the insightful, thought provoking film Gattaca. The film brings to light a glimpse of a future in which genetic engineering is given free reign, resulting in a highly undesirable world for those who posses undesirable genes.
