Pace of Change:


-Mechanization: It is when machines are used, instead of humans being used for jobs. Machines, like robots, are used because machines are often faster than humans, and are specialized and really fast in specific jobs. This was used during the Industrial Revolution, because the rich people who owned a lot of companies wanted more and more money, so they used machines instead of humans, because they didn't need salaries and worked much faster.Often machines, like tractors, are used in the farms, instead of the farmers working for ever, and they created sewing machines, to save women to sew all day.

-Innovation:It was the introduction of new ideas, which was especially important for the farmers. New machines were invented, so the farmers had to work less. Also, the Units per Man Hour was increased, because workers could now use amchines to increase the productivity. Also, this introduces Mechanization, because the machines started to replace the workers, because they worked much faster.Companies used innovation to increase their productivity. Farmers became more lazy now that machines took their place as well.

-Units Per Man Hour: It is the average amount of work completed by one worker in one hours, or how many products he produces in one hour. In the Industrial Revolution, the rich people wanted to get as many products done as possible. Because of that reason, Mechanization became bigger, and machines were used more often than people, because if a worker creates 6 cups in a hour, a machine could finish around 12 cups in one hour, so the greedy owners would often pick the machines instead of the workers.

Social Change:

-Agricultural Revolution: During the Agricultural revolution, there was a massive and rapid increase of their productivity. New machines were invented, new methods were being used, and so, more livestock was grown. This mainly happened during the Industrial Revolution, where even farmers wanted to become rich, and subsided. A great invention was the tractor, which made it easier to harvest the land, and transport animals or livestock from one place to another. These machines made life easier for everyone, the rich made more money, and the workers didn’t have to work as hard to get paid.

-Factory Work: New factories were created by the day, so they needed more and more workers, and often for 6-7 days a week, trying to invent new machines. As they needed many workers, often kids and women were used to work, and mainly for the dirty stuff. This was only the case if the father was broke, so he had stay in prison until they have enough money. This often wasn’t good for the kids as they wouldn’t get an education, and couldn’t develop as they would grow up. This was mainly during the Industrial Revolution because the rich people didn’t really care who worked for they, they just wanted the money.

-City Slum Dwelling: It is where poor people live in the slums. Because so many people came to the big cities, there wasn’t enough space for everyone. Also, the rich people had nice and fancy houses with a big garden, so they took up a lot of space. During the Industrial Revolution, so many people were working for very little money, so that they needed a place to live, and so they had little space, and lived in the slums, or the rural areas of the town. It was often dirty, and there was a lot of disease, and you could easy get sick. Also, often people wanted more and more, so there were fights and they often didn’t agree because they always wanted a better life. Also the roads were very dirty. Often wastes were just thrown on the street, and the streets were very thin, so there wouldn’t be a lot of light, and it would often seem dark.

Economic Migration:

-Rural to Urban Migration:This is when people who work in the countryside get attracted to the big urban cities with a lot of jobs. This was very common during the Industrial Revolution, because the big cities were booming, so it attracted many people, even farmers. In the countryside, business wasn’t as good anymore; people wanted products from the big companies who worked much faster. Often the farmers came, but didn’t have good jobs at first; and they time by time they would get upgraded.

-Pull Factors of the Industrial Cities: The big cities were getting bigger and more important by the day. It often attracted people from outside because there were so many jobs available. Also, the business was new and fresh. But also these big places and these big names attracted people. Also, all the business was based on the big cities. Also, the salaries were more stable because as farmers you depended on buyers, but if you work on a factory, you aren’t that dependant as you are on a farm. But also there are better healthcares and better education in the big cities. Also the facilities were much better, and there was much more protection during the Industrial Revolution.

-Push factors of the Agricultural Revolution: As ideas developed, new inventions were made, so humans didn’t have to work as much, especially of the farm. At the beginning, there were many farmers, but machines started to replace people because they would work much faster. That’s one reason why farmers went inland to the big cities. Also, the protection wasn’t great, and often you had to travel very far to get resources, and it wasn’t easy without cars or fast moving vehicles. Also, the farmers believed that other people were being respected more than they were, so they decided to leave during the Industrial Revolution.
