Before watching this video, just like the beginning of the video. I thought that the population in the world is out of control. I thought every thing in the world such as natural sources, space, and even the environment does not enough for humans today. In this video, the professor mentioned that the population before 1800 and after 1800 is really different. Not only because of the food and medical resources became better, but also it was during the “Industrial Revolution”, so people’s lifestyle was better than before. There is another important information in this video. The average babies per woman is about 5. However, the rate of the “Developing Countries” about 7. The more babies for per woman, the less source can the babies got. Although
The United States attracted many immigrants as it gave opportunity to farm or work in urban areas, which was appealing for people like the Irish, who experienced famine and depression in their home, many Irishmen moved to America, and population wise
The demographic changes were evident, from 791 million in 1750 to 1.7 billion in 1900. This demographic ‘jump’ took place because agricultural inventions such as mechanical reaper, chemical fertilizers, and refrigerators increased the food productions, thus leading to higher birth rate and lower death rate. With an increasing population, people started migrating from rural to urban regions to find work and to have a stable life. However, not only the changes existed. Since all people were not wealthy, most of them still lived in impoverished conditions even after a great deal of development during the Industrial Revolution.
The period of agriculture in the industrial revolution saw a dramatic growth in the population of Great Britain , due to the improvement and introductions to new farming methods, which is said to be one part of the population growth. It is estimated that between the years 1300 and 1700 the population rapidly increased and decreased and that was because of the lack of food, and introductions to common diseases like the black death and the plague, which was a negative because many people were dying. Early eighteenth century the population doubled up , as cures were found and the agriculture was improved as changes in agriculture began to have an impact, more resources started to be available for food ,and larger populations could be fed.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, there were significant changes to lifestyles due to the industrial revolution. This event allowed us to modernise and build the world we are living in today. Yet life before the industrial revolution compared to today's society cannot be stated similar. In the modern society, people rely on mechanisations and machinery for living, however, before the 1750, everything was mostly done manually as countries had not yet adopted machines. This caused a significant changes in lifestyles from the preindustrial times to the modern world.
The Industrial Revolution in Europe changed Europe to this day. This began in the United Kingdom in the 1700s and expanded to Western Europe in the 1800s. During the Industrial Revolution, this provided new technology, a surplus of food, trading and different ways of producing goods for countries. The women and children in Europe had to work hard and work in the mills. They did this to give enough money for their family to live on. Politics also changed during the Industrial Revolution. Thus, the Industrial Revolution affected many people and to discover new technology and ways of thriving life.
The Industrial Revolution had a significant impact on Western society and the effects were numerous and mainly positive. The Industrial Revolution began in England in the 1790’s and spread throughout Europe and eventually to America. The extensive effects of the Industrial Revolution influenced almost every aspect of daily life and human society in some way. During this time period, widespread transportation such as railroads became available and important for the movement of goods and people. Also, new social reforms came about, dealing with critical issues including that of child labor.
Chapter 16 covers the different reasons that population expanded after the Industrial Revolution, such as advancements in farming and growing crops that helped feed more people, and developments in medicine and health that helped to fight disease. After the Industrial Revolution, Europe's population grew, not because women were giving birth more often but due to the fact that the death rate went down, which multiplied the population. One would think that the greatest growth of the population would occur in the richer industrial areas where people were working in the mills or coal mines, however this wasn't the case; the population growth took place mostly in the rural parts of Europe where people grew to be as old as 50 years old since they
Think about your life for one second: you communicate with people, travel, make purchases, and utilize those commodities. But have you ever wondered what made those things possible? After all, you go to the store to buy things you need. You drive a car to work and to visit your friends. If you need to talk to someone, you simply pick up your phone or computer. However, none of this would be possible without a means of communication, factories to manufacture the products you need, places to work, and ways to travel and transport goods. And what made these possible? The answer is the Industrial Revolution, which started in Europe around the year 1730. A revolution is a major change or turning point in something. The Industrial Revolution
There were plenty of signs that the Industrial Revolution propelled the world human population into an period of living and production at the final expense of the human condition. It also known to influence the resources that had been held for granted for the whole before history of human kind. There has always been plenty of resources before the demand for them. The human population increase is permanently connect together with growth use of natural and human made resources, energy, land for producing food and for living, and waste by products that they get rid of, to
The Industrial Revolution was the quintessence of capitalistic ideals; it bred controversy that led to Karl Marx’s idea of communism as a massive grass roots reaction to the revolution’s social abuses. Firstly, the Industrial Revolution featured the construction of machines, systems and factories that allowed goods to be manufactured at a faster rate with a lower cost. The seed drill made it so there could be “a semi-automated, controlled distribution and plantation of wheat seed”(Jones 2013). Secondly, there was a great social and economic divide between the wealthy owners and the poor workers, which gave rise to the mass’s vulnerability to the advent of extreme socialism. Figures of authority severely oppressed their employees by giving them insufficient pay, a treacherous work environment, and even making some children work more than 12 hours per day (Cranny 150). Finally, far right capitalism created a brutal boom and bust cycle of economics that made, for the multitude at the bottom, a perpetual nightmare of poverty and death. People responded to this social situation by taking part in violent protests; oppression sires rebellion. The Industrial Revolution was the chassis of great imagination and progress of political, economic, and social force that still affects this world today.
Regardless of their circumstances, what people want most of all is to be happy—the innate wish to have security and happiness has been ingrained in all living things since the dawn of time and has not wavered since, remaining as something which influences—if not dictates—every action someone takes. It follows that their beliefs and actions should manifest directly from that intrinsic, imperative, imperial wish to be happy; in that sense, one could consider the “will of the people” to be what they believe will best allow them to succeed in their pursuit of happiness, given that people would only want things that would aid in that pursuit and give them happiness. Granted, this makes the “will of the people” extremely diverse and divided, and
Our nation has expanded throughout our history, as it has progressed and advanced through and because of many revolutions, a special one, however had a great economic impact that would forever change our nation's economic position. The United States has not always been financially secured as a nation, however, the nation increased in wealth through this major revolution known as the industrial revolution, as this revolution greatly helped expand the economy of our nation and increased its economic state. It was also through this increase in wealth, that caused the increase in job opportunities and in the process contributed to the increase in population, this and the abundance of resources, as American Ingenuity all helped lead and expand the industrial revolution. As a result, the industrial revolution impacted the American economy through its advancements in railroads, the rise in entrepreneurship, and through the impacts that business made as it increased immigration and urbanization.
The growth of the Industrial Revolution depended on the ability to transport goods and products over long distances. The first way of transportation to develop was a network of roads and turnpikes, which helped connected the urban areas of the eastern coast. New York was the state that invested on 4000 miles of roads and turnpikes by 1820 (Keene, Cornell, & O’Donnell, 2013.) The first national road that was build connected Cumberland, Maryland, and at what is now West Virginia, and by 1930s this national road stretched as far west as Ohio. Also, Lancaster turnpike connected Pennsylvania with Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. The improved roads and turnpikes shortened the travel time, so made the transportation of products and goods cheaper and faster,
The earth is just combination of uniqueness and also it is comprised of perfect mechanism. Every individual creation or place is in sync but it is weak and it can easily be destroyed as long as one part is extinct. In nowadays, there are only few lands remained untouched, however, one of them is Mongolian territory. Therefore, it has been truly becoming comfort and safe environment for wild animals and plants, especially for rare species. Although last few decades, all these creation of natures are close to extinct because they are threatened by deforestation. This human acts doesn’t follow Taylor’s 4 duties which we have to other living beings (Non-Maleficence, Non-Interference, Fidelity, Restitutive Justice). Thus if we won’t seriously pay attention of it, it is so close to bring us death.
“The 18th century saw the emergence of the ‘Industrial Revolution’, the great age of steam, canals and factories that changed the face of the British economy forever.” (White, M, The Industrial Revolution). The industrial revolution sparked the development of capitalist economies and as a consequence a division of labour was formed. Therefore the capitalist system is seen as a natural consequence of the industrial revolution. The industrial revolution was a period in which societies became industrial due to there being an increase in new manufacturing processes which transitioned from hand production methods to the development of machines and the rise of the factory system. The process of industrialisation largely affected the division of
