1. Social Change in the 1800s (particularly 1850-1914)

2. I. Modernizing the City Pre-Industrial Revolution there is little notion of urban planning Not many people live in cities and those that do have to deal with the consequences As the industrial revolution causes population in cities explodes (17% of England in 1800, 54% of England in 1900) social reformers begin to develop urban planning Remember… –No sewage system –Little running water –No parks –No transportation Walking cities –Recent rural immigrants are used to living in filth –Ignorance of basic health principles

4. Early-19c London by Gustave Dore

5. Sanitation Breakthrough Edwin Chadwick –Utilitarian  Jeremy Bentham –Studied the poor and publishes findings of connections between filth and disease –Argues for development of sanitation systems Cheap iron of I.R. –Hampered by ‘Miasma Theory’ Germ Theory –Louis Pasteur vaccines –Joseph Lister Better surgical procedures Lister

6. Urban Planning Napoleon III (Louis Napoleon) –Wants a capital fit for an emperor –Demolishes much of medieval Paris –Wide boulevards Side benefit? –Public Parks –Sewers Copied by many other European cities Eventually, transportation eases crowding –Electric Streetcar

8. All wages rose but income inequality stayed constant or grew Upper and middle classes –20% of population- over 50% of wealth) Lower classes –80% of population - under 50% of wealth) Marxism weakened by scramble to move up in terms of sub- class Part II. Class

9. III. Science Increasingly Had an Impact on the Daily Lives of the Working Classes Wasn’t true in Scientific Revolution Some have referred to the late 19 th century as a second industrial revolution –Electricity –Light bulbs –Streetcars –Airplanes –Cars –Radio –Telephone –Movies –Phonograph

10. Darwin’s Theory of Evolution Shakes Up Social Science On the Origin of the Species –Competition for scarce resources leads fittest to survive and pass on their traits –Remind anyone of Malthus? Is there still a need for God? What if you apply Darwin’s ‘survival of the fittest’ to humans? –Social Darwinism The rich are rich because they are better Applies both to individuals and races –How might this help usher in a more ‘extreme’ or ‘conservative’ nationalism?’ Killing or taking land from other races is OK. It just demonstrates your fitness. Keeping the poor on the bottom is OK. They are less fit. These theories are just in time for an upcoming theme- New Imperialism
