revolution were in the different took place over the course of the industrial revolution, most of which were in women and children. They both gained more respect and leverage after the reform act and laws took place

ESSENTIAL QUESTION TWO How are industrialization, urbanization and

immigration related to one another? Industrialization, urbanization and immigration is that the

way of life for the new citizens is way different from home. Originally when urbanization was taking place families that were living and working on farms were looking for more desirable and reliable work source. When these people came and immigrated to Britain they were looking for work and the work inside textile factories. This worked out greatly because the people were already used to long hours of work.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION THREE

In which ways do you see women benefiting from the industrial revolution? In which ways do you see them losing out? Women were in a constant struggle when it came to their

role in the industrial revolution. In the beginning the middle class women were holding jobs in the factories so they too could financially support their families and assist their husbands.

They lost out when it came to the wages that they were experiencing. The women were not receiving nearly as much money as their male superiors. Also in the eyes of society .

Women were able to contribute to their own cause by joining a suffrage group, fighting for equality to men.

Only role was that to be at home taking care of children.A.J

ESSENTIAL QUESTION FOUR To what degree do you think we can consider

the world today as still living in a period of industrial revolution? To what degree do you think that the period is past? The world today is most definitely not in a situation of

industrial thriving. The amount of technological advancement in present day not growing at a fast enough rate for enough people to have jobs globally. The lack of industrial jobs is lacking world, some countries more than others but essentially every one is effected. The amount of workers working on new and innovative technology in large masses is what makes the period an industrial revolution

The point at which the industrial revolution was in the past is once the pretty much every one was rather technologically advanced. The industrial revolution ended in 1918 when the British Voting Reform took place.
