1. Lesson 3.7

2. Knight’s Charge  How did Napoleon become famous?  How was Napoleon able to take over France?  What was Napoleon’s “big mistake?”  If Mr. Sliwa were a rapper, DJ, etc. What would his name be?

3. WEIRD Disney Fact of the Day!  The theme parks use a patented 'Smellitzer' device designed to pump certain scents around.  Whether it's a waft of sea salt in Pirates of the Caribbean or vanilla in Main Street.  Your senses are constantly being played son.  Your world is not real!

4. Pictures Exist Now, Yay!

5. Migration  Because many new businesses begin and older ones start to grow, people begin to move throughout countries.  This leads to Urbanization  Urbanization: The movement of people from rural areas into cities.  Example: Manchester, UK 17,000 people in 1775 40,000 people by 1780 70,00 people by 1800

6. Urban People  2 main classes:  Industrial Middle Class – Owned and Operated private businesses, railroads, factories, etc. (entrepreneurs).  Industrial Working Class – Workers Very Poor Lived in dirty, overcrowded, apartments 20 + people living in one room…

7. Conditions in Factories and Mines  12-16 Hour Shifts  No Safety Standards/Mechanisms  Very Poor Ventilation/Cleanliness  If you got sick….You got FIRED!

8. Conditions in Factories and Mines  Machine operators were usually women and children, because…  Smaller hands  Quicker (moving out of the way of things)  You could pay them less

9. Life in the Mines  The Industrial Revolution = A higher demand for Iron and Coal. Why?  Miners were paid more than factory workers, but conditions were much worse.  Total Darkness (just a flashlight)  Coal Dust = Black Lung

10. Children Children had the most dangerous jobs!!!  Children started working as early as 5 years old  Jobs? Hauling carts in mines and opening air vents. Repairing factory machines – their hands were small enough to reach inside of the moving gears.

11. Why were conditions so bad?  Laissez – Faire Economics = No government intervention in business at all.  No enforcement of child labor, labor laws, minimum wage, etc.  This meant more accidents with virtually no punishment

12. Positives/Negatives  Positives: More Jobs! Wages Rose! Costs Went Down! Negatives: - People Died - Terrible Working Conditions - Many children lost fingers and hands or got diseases from the mines.

13. New Ways of Thinking  Populations EXPLODE!  Socialism Emerges = Very radical societal view. The idea that a community own a business and not private individuals.  The idea that there are people who are “HAVES” and people who are “HAVE NOTS.”

14. Breakdown  The “HAVES” = The bourgeoisie in France. They thrived on the luxuries of the Industrial Revolution. Owners of businesses.  The “HAVE NOTS” = Anyone who was over worked and poor. Almost everyone else.

15. The Rise of Communism  Karl Marx – Believed that a “Utopia” (perfect society) was possible.  So, he came up with:  Communism = A form of Socialism, but with no social classes and all people are equal. Equal pay, equal income, equal homes, equal food, etc…

16. The Rise of Communism  Under Communism, communities own the businesses.  People make the same amount of money and no one is ranked higher, or “better,” than anyone else.  On paper, Communism is a great idea!

17. Inventions  New inventions would drive the industrial revolution  People invented things to solve problems they were experiencing.  Think of a problem in the modern world. Now, come up with an invention that solves the problem:  On a separate sheet of paper: 1. Identify problem 2. Name your invention 3. How does it work? Description 4. Picture/Sketch 5. What is the cost of your invention?
