Industrialization in America
The process of industrialization can be categorized as the first step towards a social and economic transformation which affected the whole world in ways beyond comprehension. In a nutshell, the world we live in today was nowhere near what it is today before industrialization changed the face of the world. America too greatly adapted to this change and saw itself changing and advancing in the face of the new inventions and advancements. However, with the benefits of the phenomenon came some drawbacks which could not be ignored. The next sections focus on two ways in which industrialization proved to be a blessing for the Americans as well as two ways that it created problems (Alonso, 1994).

Positives:

One industry that saw phenomenal changes after industrialization came about was the American agricultural industry. The farming techniques became greatly advanced and mechanization made things much easier and reduced the extent to which…...

Industrialization After the Civil War
Introduce your paper with your previously crafted thesis statement.

After the Civil War, the United States became a much-industrialized society. The country was characterized by several industrial developments. More investments were put on establishing industries that could facilitate the production capacity of the country. Key policies were laid to drive the growth of industries in many of the sectors leading to the growth of industrialization in the country. These developments took place amidst an agrarian society that characterized America before the civil war. Before the civil war, many investments were made in agriculture with farming being a major economic activity for the American people. However, this affected the growth of the economy as the American population shot up (ees, 2008).

The nation resorted to industrialization after the civil war. This saw a change in lifestyle among many Americans as more people got jobs in the industries that were…...

Industrialization after U.S. Civil War
AMERICAN INDUSTRIALIZATION AFTER THE U.S. CIVIL WAR (1865-1920)

It is a truism that large-scale warfare tends to increase industrial production and innovation, and that societies benefit from this industrialization after the war is over. In America, the Civil War was followed by the economic prosperity of the Gilded Age -- I would like to argue that the chief effect of this prosperity was to cause new conflicts in American society, which had to be settled by reform rather than Civil War. This is in some ways a counterintuitive argument, when in 2014 many have been conditioned to believe that a prosperous economy benefits everyone, when (in the words of the old cliche) a rising tide lifts all boats. But did the booming economy of America between the end of the Civil War and the onset of the First World War actually benefit child laborers or former slaves?…...

Industrialization After the Civil War
Industrialization was, in all aspects, a game changer in the U.S. because it brought about a complete transformation in people's ways of life. It changed how businesses were run, transformed how people earned money, made transportation easier, and caused a social and economic revolution.

Within four decades (1865-1920), the U.S. had "transformed from a predominantly rural agrarian society to an industrial economy centered in large metropolitan cities" (Hirschman & Mogford, 2009). In addition to the unity that had been created by the uniting states, three other factors played a crucial role in the rapid diffusion of technology during this period. These are;

Legislative representation - the pieces of legislation that furthered the efforts of reconstruction and promoted civil rights for the marginalized. For instance, the 13th, 14th and 15th econstruction Amendments which illegalized slavery, awarded citizenship to all people naturalized or born in the U.S., and gave voting…...

Industrialization in Europe increased the development of machines, production of goods and new energy resources of other societies. However, it had many positive and negative effects to the society. The building of new empires enabled Europe to gain access to their armies, exports, finances and strategic locations. The paper will analyze how Industrialization in Europe led to imperialist conquest of other societies and what made the European Armies so effective against native resistance.
There are various reasons why industrialization in Europe led to imperialist conquest of other societies. The first reason was the availability of larger consumer markets. Industrialization in Europe allowed other countries in spreading their influence to weaker countries. Because of the spread, the industrialized countries managed to create markets for the manufactured products along with producing some specific products to be sold in these markets. The second reason was the availability of raw materials that was used in…...

How did you come to these conclusions? Need to cite this info. The factory system made sure that the factories produced the best that they could and an increased production meant an increased quantity of goods. But while certain social categories were having their living standard significantly improved, Disraeli reminds us about the price that the lower social class was paying. (Very confusing paragraph. You touch on a number of unrelated points but have not tied all of those points together.)
The second document under analysis is a fragment from Robert Owen's address to the workers of New Lanark. The temporal frame the document dates from is more or less the same one as Disraeli's book. This however is a speech addressed directly by him to the workers. The text is filled with philosophical connotations and its purpose is on the one hand, to educate, on the other hand, to…...

A pattern of industrialization and the entrance of global corporations into resource-sharing with already deprived nations produces a balance of resources which tilts toward far less food produced even as more is traded on the global market. This is a trade that benefits those -- in terms of nations and individuals -- already with the means to acquire food while increasing the misery index for the poor. Our research has tended to suggest that, contrary to Gwynne's findings, globalization has served to instigate world poverty further while failing to keep its promise of accelerate the progress of all nations.
Concerning the human rights crises which have expanded dramatically since the popular inception of free trade practices in recent years, it is reasonable that we as a critical society respond with sharp critical scrutiny to such political ideologies as that taken on by Gwynne.

The estimation that we arrive at therefore is…...

Many Americans insisted on moralizing poverty and housing conditions.
One of the responses to the revelations was to build company towns, like Pullman, Illinois which provided decent housing and amenities to workers in the Pullman train car factory. This project appears to have been successful initially, but a debilitating strike caused by high rent and low wages destroyed the town and other companies were no longer willing to follow this model (Ibid. At 134). Still a bigger obstacle to widespread reform was the ubiquitous American reverence for private property rights. Notwithstanding the early New York measures, Americans were loath to deny the landlords unfettered control over their private property (Ibid. At 135).

Although the progressive era as a whole saw great advancement in public health and safety requirements, there was only marginal success regarding housing reform. Many reforms that affected how people lived were undertaken in the name of public health.…...

Automobiles had already been in production in several countries for at least a decade before 1914 and Henry Ford had already revolutionized industrial production methods in that industry that were immediately incorporated into the wartime production efforts on both sides of the Atlantic in connection with arms and munitions production. The rapid development of aviation technology during the war also contributed to the perception that the modern era began with World War I, but the basic technology had also been invented a decade earlier and would have continued to evolve on its own, although less rapidly than in wartime.

By 1914, the telegraph had already shortened the time that news took to travel across the globe from weeks to minutes, and telephones were already in existence, although not yet widely available to most.

Coal, steam, and oil power were already in wide-scale use throughout modern industry and transportation, but by 1914, electricity was also becoming more and more available to ordinary citizens, as were indoor plumbing and municipal services such as sanitation, mass transportation in the cities, and police agencies.

Conclusion:

Certainly, the more dramatic technological changes that made military mechanization possible for the first time were perfected during the war effort. However, by that time, the increasing availability of electricity, indoor lighting, mass transportation, industrial production, and instantaneous communication had already improved the general life of the average person and had begun to approximate modern society before 1914. In that respect, World War I was merely the first large-scale application of all of those modern developments that actually preceded its outbreak.

Industrialization After the Civil War
In the aftermath of the Civil War, the United States developed and emerged as an increasingly industrialized society. The emergence and development of the United States as a much more industrialized society after the Civil War was largely because of the significant and dramatic change in the American industry. Moreover, the increased industrialization in America was brought by increased availability of huge supplies of raw materials, emergence of a huge workforce due to immigration, development of new technologies and invention, and the emergence of highly talented business leaders. While industrialization enhanced American life in numerous ways, it also generated considerable problems for the American society. These benefits and problems of industrialization are evident in the events that took place between 1865 and 1920 i.e. after the Civil War.

Industrialization is basically the large scale introduction of manufacturing, enhanced technical expertise and enterprises, and…...

US Imperialism in the 1890sPolitical, social, and industrial powers all converged to give rise to American imperialism in the 1890s. At the end of the 19th century, the US was enjoying the full benefits of industrialization; industrialists and financiers, along with their political representatives and cronies, began looking beyond the borders of the US to see to what extent they could obtain control over other parts of the world. Obtaining greater access to supplies and natural resources, as well as cheap labor (necessary for industrialization to continue now that slavery was abolished in the US) were a big motivation. However, progressive ideals in society were also contributing to the idea that America should have a larger role to play on the worlds stagea dream that would begin to be realized at the end of World War I under Wilson. But in the 1890s, America was growing at an enormous rate,…...

Women who wanted to uphold a superior class were forced to stick to the false impression that they did not do any work, and their work was not physically challenging. Others believed that their professions brought about socially-prescribed and conventional qualities expected of refined ladies like motherliness and compassion. This made middle-class women get involved in social work and other professions related to the less fortunate. Others preserved their class characteristic by working in positions detached from public sight and heavy labor like seamstresses and office workers.
There were many women who were working as prostitutes in many European cities, mostly in 1800s. Low wages offered in piecework as well as other domestic service led some women to look for additional income in casual prostitution (Boulding, 1975). Other women who were fired became prostitutes fearing to face starvation. Maids who were found to be pregnant or were caught participating in…...

Industrialization After the Civil War
The United States economy grew to unprecedented levels and very quickly, after the American Civil War. This economic and industrial growth comprised of a number of causative factors such as technological innovation, westward expansion, and immigration to the United States that have witnessed tremendous development over the years. American economic and industrial growth was a kind of mixed blessing; but at the same time, it raised the living standard of some Americans, made certain goods easily accessible, and equally helped the United States become world military and economic power. These same forces, on the other hand and at the same time, increased the gap between the rich and the poor, enhanced and reduced political corruption at different levels of government, and also created some lasting legacy for environmental destruction (Shultz, 2014).

This paper contends to most effect, that industrialization was nothing more than a mere abolition of…...

Mass production gave the people more goods and raised their standards of living in industrialized nations, but the unequal distribution of wealth created dissatisfaction and unrest among the poor.
Wealthy entrepreneurs and corporations were able to create great structures in the major cities. In 1856 Henry Bessemer (British) perfected the process for producing inexpensive steel; and the next year E.G. Otis (American) installed the first safety elevator. From 1773, cast iron provided strength without bulk and provided architects to span broader widths and raise structures to greater heights than traditional stone buildings. John Nash used cast iron in 1815 for the Brighton Pavilion. The first cast-iron suspension bridge began to be constructed in 1836, but not until mid-century was iron used as skeletal support for mills, warehouses and railroad stations. Joseph Paxton built Paxton's Crystal Palace for the Great Exhibition of London in 1851 of glass and steel in only…...

Spain and Hungary remained among the last to overcome the feudal era thanks to the industrial change, by the outbreak of the First orld ar (Trebilcock). Considering the different levels of intensity the industrialization came to have during the eighteenth century and up until the First orld ar and the variations in the way modernization and a global trade system manifested in different parts of Europe, an industrial revolution may be considered an exaggeration in terms of its achievement at a continental level. "it is obvious that nothing so monolithic as 'an industrial revolution in Europe' occurred in the nineteenth century. The experience of industrialization was most certainly not uniform between countries; instead, there was an immense variety of growth rate, technological advance, and managerial expertise" (idem, 2). Feudal and Capitalist societies coexisted for a while after the industrialization phenomenon spread in Europe, producing inequalities and major differences not…...

The term global perspective actually has a few different meanings, depending on the discipline.  It can refer to an individual’s personal lens and how they view the globe; to various perspectives about an issue from around the globe; and to views linked to globalization and the impact of individual or nation-wide actions on the world and its inhabitants.   We are going to provide a range of topic suggestions that incorporate all of these different definitions of global perspectives, with the most suggestions coming from the last topic, as it is the most commonly used across academic disciplines.
