[|Ranking Factors of Success]

In agriculture many things were altered with the events of the industrial revolution. With new and better ways being invented in order to improve the speed of production, agriculture would soar. With better equip machines, agriculture would prosper much faster.
 * Explain, in detail, what effect changes in Agriculture had on the industrial revolution? **

Along with production of new and faster machines, handiwork seemed to lag and not happen as often. Thus, factories were build, speeding up production even more. However, with the building of factories, came dangers with these machines.
 * Predict, what effect might the shift from Cottage industries to factories have on the lives of textile workers and on towns and cities **.

Child labor in cold mines was justified in ways that many knew that children could do things that larger adults could. Also, children did not keep dollar amount in their mind as much as adults did. Therefore, if a child was getting paid fifty cents a week, it didn't seem like such a low pay.
 * Evaluate how you think people justified the use of children doing hard labor in cold mines **.


 * Spread of the Industrial revolution beyond England:**


 * **Identify and list 5 key factors you learned from the graphic in your wiki below the graphic**
 * **Explain why each was important**

__**Key Factors**__ 1. It is shown that it was an increasingly long amount of time before Asia & Africa became industrialized. The span of the whole becoming industrialized clearly took some time. 2. It seemed that even with as much as they tried, Britain could not conceal their technological advances. Eventually it just all spread like a wildfire. 3. Belgium became the first country after Britain to become industrialized. They largely depended on their resources of coal and iron. 4. The more advances many places became, the more competition began occurring for markets and resources. 5. Through this time and many times, the main goal for people as it is today, was to spend the least amount of money as possible.

__**Thesis Statement**__ 1. **Identify and explain the key factors that led to the development of the Industrial Revolution first in England**

The essential factors that led to the development of the Industrial Revolution first in England were exploration and colonialism, much political stability, sea power, and substantial support from the government.

media type="custom" key="11326820" __**Summary**__ In the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, Britain was the first country to become industrialized. Their technology was far ahead of many other countries which led to their success. However, as much as Britain attempted to conceal their advances, it seemed to leak anyway, to other countries. As time went on, the first country that became industrialized no longer was the greatest, other countries eventually ended up much more advanced.

**Pros and Cons on Capitalism ** //** Based on your reading and note-taking complete the following activitiy in your wiki: **// If I were a financial adviser for a country, undoubtedly, I would choose Capitalism for my economic view. In my research, it's obvious that the people are more in control of their own lives, without too much chaos. Also, they can control their jobs, living situations and other aspects. As opposed to the strict, government controlling economic view of Communism, Capitalism proves to be much more appealing for the people and society.
 * **Pros ** || **Cons ** ||
 * Promoted economic growth which gave better opportunity for people to have more money. || Unfair competition within the Capitalist government could occur. ||
 * The harder that someone worked, the better they would be rewarded. || Capitalism leads to one goal and one goal only; making a lot of money. ||
 * In a Capitalist government, the consumers are more in control. || The more resources used in Capitalism, the less resources there will be in the future. ||
 * Pros and Cons on Communism **
 * **Pros ** || **Cons ** ||
 * Most everyone is employed in this form of government. || Everything belongs to the government ||
 * Not a lot of crime occurs on account of strict laws. || There are hardly any rights or freedom. ||
 * There is pretty much one person in control of everyone, less chaos. || Extremely strict laws in the government. ||
 * If you were the financial adviser for a country, which economic view would you support and why? Use evidence from your reading and notes to support your answer **.

**Read //Cities Grow and Change//** in your textbook or in on line book found on pages 275-276 and copy and paste the following questions to answer in your wiki:

1. **How did cities grow and change in the late 1800s**? Cites, when they eventually became industrialized, became much more fast-paced areas. While before the industrial age, there was trade, political military, and religious functions, after the indistrial revolution, even more was done. The more cities became industrialized, the more they became dangerous to live in. Because of the new spread of factories, smoke was all through the air, polluting it. As the population increased, there became more disease and not a lot of space for everyone comfortably. 2. **Why did people migrate to cities**? Many people migrated to cities most commonly for better job opportunities. Because the industrial revolution was kicked into full gear and still moving forward, the handiwork-type job's people had in rural areas were no longer as in demand. The industrial revolution brought the increase and factories, hence; more jobs in factories within urban areas.

3. **Describe the conditions that made cities more livable**? The more advanced cites became, the harsher conditions they had to live in, so they tried to improve these conditions. Transportation became much more advanced with railroads connecting much of peoples everyday life. With overcrowding as a huge problem, buildings were then later made taller rather than wider for more space in order to maintain the increase of people. Sanitation was also a factor that made cities more livable. With the invention of electricity and plumbing, lives seemed to look up for the better.
