Industrial+Revolution

=Industrial Revolution (1750-1914)=

The span of dates for this particular change in the world is quite different from most. Will will see where this is not a smooth and constant shift from agricultural and rural life, but rather a inconsistent trajectory to urbanization, nationalization, and eventually world conflict. We will be covering more than one chapter in this unit and so flexibility is the key. Below you will find various reading guides and other elements to assist you in internalizing the material.

We will look at Industrialization from the perspective of the following concepts:


 * Economics - what changes occur and how does that effect each level of the socioeconomic ladder?
 * Political - Revolutions to date have looked at political change and its later effects in other areas such as economic, social, religious and cultural shifts. Here we will look at how technology, economics, urbanization and social change effect politics and religion.
 * Social Change - This is an area, that for the most part in other revolutions, where the various social and economic strata in society did not see much change. That is not totally true as this Industrial era takes shape.
 * Religion - Religion has always played a roll in social change, good or bad it played a role. That role is shifting somewhat during the Industrial Revolution and continues today to play a integral role in our current "information revolution".
 * Technology - this area is one of rapid, rapid being a relative term, change during this era. The acceptance and expansion of scientific and enlightenment ideas leads to a massive development of inventions and technological change that is applauded by some and hated by other.
