I. INTRODUCTION T HE Industrial Revolution was the transition to new manufacturing processes in the period from about 1760 to sometime between 1820 and 1840. This transition included going from hand production methods to machines, new chemical manufacturing and iron production processes, improved efficiency of water power, the increasing use of steam power, and the development of machine tools. It also included the change from wood and other bio-fuels to coal. The First Industrial Revolution began in England in the late 18th century, following in the wake of James Watt and his steam engine.
Also they can’t have fruit and vegetables to eat. Another reason it’s that the people cannot sell food for money this means that they have to stave of hunger then later they will slowly die. Machinery The second change was machinery. Machinery affected the lives of the poor. Machinery took jobs of many people but it also gave jobs.
During the 1800s autocrats made many sweeping changes, such as the emancipation of the serfs in 1861. Russia also participated in wars such as the Crimean War and the Napoleonic Wars. Western influence spread new ideals throughout nineteenth century Russia and exploded in the Russian Revolution of the twentieth century. While autocrats altered politics and engaged in various wars, Russia enjoyed a golden age in literature and art. Russia also prospered from a long awaited growth in industry.
The people who are most affected by poverty are women who work part time as most of their wages will be going on the childcare costs and needs also black and ethnic minority groups find it a struggle when they are looking for work and finally disabled people. When living in poverty people find it hard to cope especially when it removes choice for families and you can’t have what you want, you can only, if lucky, get what you need. Due to not having enough money families with children end up with a limited choice in small, cramped, poor housing which can sometimes end in catching some diseases such as bronchitis because the house is hard to heat. Poverty affects children directly. It may cause them to have a lower achievement in school as their own parents are unable to help with homework’s and also they may end up missing out on school trips as their family are unable to afford it.
This quickly sparked a virtual mania for building railroads in Europe and the United States after 1830. The 1800s saw incredible growth in the miles of track being laid. In 1830,
So "during the 19th century, the society and economy were completely altered due to the many new inventions created"(Essay written by Haisam Daouk, Hayat Showail, Kristelle Manassian, and Shahnaz Maktabi). Also, population increased all over the world. The rate of Industrial growth in 1913 right before the World war one increased dramatically in UK, France, Germany, Russia, and Italy. These five countries(and Austria-Hungary) are the main countries of World War one. These events all lead to Militarism, a better economy and foreign trade, led to countries having more money to buy weapons.
Much of this investment came from already industrialized countries like Germany, Great Britain, and France whose business owners looked for new investment opportunities in the United States. These investors put money into the work of mechanics and engineers with the expertise to develop new, more efficient ways of mass-producing goods. Machines benefited the United States by allowing business owners to specialize in the production of goods and manufacture them in large quantities to distribute throughout the nation or export. As a result, the cost of mass-produced goods went down as their quantity went up causing industrial profits to rise. With the creation of transcontinental railroads and telephones, marketing nationally was available to distribute these goods.
Since the Civil War ended in the late 1800’s, many inventions and innovations started to skyrocket in production, which led to what is now called the Industrial Revolution. This revolution really made an impact on how the people of America lived. Faster transportation, like the railroads and locomotives, made it easier for settlers to move out west where a lot of the industry work started. Inventions also made a huge impact on how people lived and made their daily lives easier. Some of these inventions were electricity, the sewing machine, the telephone, and the Model T Ford.
Allowing them obtain better paying job opportunities. Create more jobs with better benefits for low income families as well as a way to get a better education. As stated by Arloc (2005), in figure 1 below, exams done to the Census shows that the U.S public benefits system helps to reduce the poverty in nearly half of Americans. Some of these children may not develop well-mannered vocabulary due to the majority of their parents having difficulty speaking proper English. In a poor socioeconomic group, students are more likely to drop out of school; this happens since the environment around them does not allow them to achieve an academic goal or have parents who support them.
