During that time in history, industrialization had low hygiene standards, poor living conditions. Overcrowding was due to the sudden movement of many people to the same area (because many farmers lost their land and jobs. Rats, insects and other pests became common. Diseases were spread more easily. Friedrich Engels stated in “The Condition of the Working Class in England”, a variety of characteristics of working class living conditions in England.
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. With the positive, there are also the negative including the exploitation of workers, mainly in children as testified in document 1 an 2. Testimonies of British workers portray the miserable condition in factories where they are subjected to work for as long as sixteen hours. Also safety regulation in the factories are neglected which often led to the death of the worker by accident or by infection. Doc 3 contradict doc 1 and 2.
One such continuity is the poor working conditions experienced by the industrial workers. Another similarity between the time periods is the role of the middle-class women, since with the Industrial Revolution came the “cult of domesticity” to remove women from contact with the business world; this is similar to the “separate spheres” of the late 19th century Victorian women. One difference between the impacts of the Industrial Revolutions was the urban conditions that they affected. During the first Industrial Revolution, cities grew much too fast, leading to the formations of slums and poorly built houses. This also caused serious environmental problems.
Engstrom Auto Mirror Plant: Motivating In Good and Bad Times Who is the main Character Ron Bent the plant manager is the main character. He is tasked with attempting to turnaround the Engstrom plant because of low productivity and slumping profitability. What is Actually the Problem Although there are many different issues at the Engstrom plant, one of the main problems is that the management is not properly motivating their employees. This is causing low productivity and profitability at the plant, which is making Ron Bent the plant manager lay off workers and the Engstrom Family consider closing the plant. Bent describes this as a “vicious cycle”.
Adam McPherson Mrs. Wheelock Advanced English Humanities 20 March 2012 Black Death’s Curse on Europe “Famines and plague, especially the Black (Bubonic) Plague thinned the population of Europe” (Wheelock). Europe was deeply affected by many diseases during the Middle Ages. As the Black Plague rushed through Europe it also affected the people’s everyday activities, the economy, and the European people’s moral from all the death, which can also be explained from Jeffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales. With the Black Plague rampant all over Europe it caused many people to stop doing their everyday activities that they enjoyed. The knights son the Squire was a very active man.
Many immigrants had to deal with poor living and working conditions (OK). Immigrants were paid low wages, so they had to live in tenements (Document 1). Tenements were crowded, unsanitary, and unsafe apartments that were very small (OK). Diseases spread quickly due to the overcrowding (OK). They were unsafe because there were no regulations on how they were built.
A French women’s rights advocate, Flora Tristan, said that in the factories, “They (the workers) are all wizened, sickly and emaciated, their bodies thin and frail, their limbs feeble, their complexions pale, their eyes dead… O God! Can progress be bought only at the cost of men’s lives?” (Document 7). This indicates that the rapid growth and advancements of Manchester were a direct cause of the physical issues that arose inside the factories and areas of developments. However, this observation could be exaggerated
With the arrival of the Industrial Revolution, society was wrenched into a new era; one where there was a desire for social respectability, and where the workhouses, which came largely under construction in the mid-19th Century after the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, loomed as a constant threat to the very poor. Social discipline became a key motive for hard work; despite a large majority of people living in appalling conditions, “(Manchester was described as) heaps of offal, refuse and sickening filth are everywhere and dispersed with pools of stagnant liquid. A horde of ragged women and children swarm about the streets and they are just as dirty as the pigs which wallow happily on the heaps of garbage or the pools of filth. On average 20 people live in each of these houses of two rooms, an attic and a cellar. One privy is shared by 120 people”, the workhouse was not only a threat in terms of the physicality of it, but it also represented a loss of earnings and poverty associated with poor social respectability.
(Patch, 4). The conditions in the factories in general are not are not the best. As an example, the Modern Times of Charlie Chaplin shows as a generality the conditions in the factory. Indeed, it is important to say that the purpose of a factory is to increase the production, but a constant work is negative for all human beings. As a result, it is possible to interpret the industrialization like another form of slavery because it is a nuisance to the worker’s freedom.
North Vietnamese were against the Americans during the war and had multiple reasons in hating Americans. Some reasons they hated Americans were because the North Vietnamese “deaths were very many” (Adams) and because of the “the poisons Americans dropped” (Adams) onto their land. By having so many deaths, the families of those people were sad and the North Vietnamese troops lessened. The poisons
