Industrial Revolution Chapter 17

The industrial revolution was a manufacturing process transition between the time of 1760-1840s in the United States and Europe. Some can argue that this was one of the most three or four most important things to happen in the history of human kind. With the start of the industrial revolution, their were new concepts being introduced for work. One of the most creative inventions formed during this time was the internal combustion engine. This engine generated power by burning different types of gases, oils and other fuels.

The industrial revolution took a lot of jobs from many different people. An example of this is, a shoe maker named Collin makes shoes at his house. He has been making shoes at his house and has been selling them for many years. During this time of making and selling shoes, Collin has an income for him and his family. Over the course of some time, different technological advances have been made. The advances that have been make are that shoes can be made at a faster passe then Collin can make the shoes, and the shoes being made at a factory are also cheaper to make which means they are cheaper to sell.

With the creation of big factories, these factories took many different jobs from people such as Collin. Many people had to move in order to live by a large factory just so they could job and prove for their families. Even through these jobs were taken from natives homeland, the middle class people thrived alot. This was because their was so much more work to be done now. This then caused massed production. Mass production is continuous production of an ideam. The way production was done now was totally different.

With now mass production being introduced into these big factories, workers are demanded to work long and hard hours. Some people worked with very low wagers and also thier were young kids working as well. With long and hard hours comes a huge mess. This caused a huge problem with sanitation within these huge factories. People started to get sick because of the types of working conditions they were in.

History Presentation

Anthony Langarica World History 4-10-19 Topic: Early Slavery in America Audience: College Students // The Next Generation Why is topic important? I believe this topic is important to talk about because it teaches us the history of our country as well as the history of people from different backgrounds. In addition it’s important to know about slavery because it shows how it has affected many people and countries. 2-4 Key Ideas: 1.) Atlantic Slave Trade- 10 million Africans were enslaved and transported to Europe and the Americas between the 15th and 19th centuries. During the 15th century when Portugal, and subsequently other European kingdoms, were finally able to expand overseas and reach Africa. The Portuguese first began to kidnap people from the west coast of Africa and to take those they enslaved back to Europe. Slave trade played an important role in providing British industry with access to raw materials. This contributed to the increased production of ma...

Chapter 21 Summary

Anthony Langarica World History 4-2-19 Chapter 21 In Chapter 21 it discussed the end of communism as well as socialism. Communism is a "political theory advocating class war and leading the society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs." This was inspired by the teachings of Karl Marx. Karl Marx "was a German philosopher, economist, historian, sociologist, political theorist, journalist and socialist revolutionary."  He beleived that people can "achieve their goals peacefully and through a democratic process, those who defined themselves as communists in the 20th century disdained such reformism and advocated uncompromising revolution." (Pg 930) Socialism is something different however. Socialism is a "political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned and regulated by the community...

Hallmarks of NDNU and what I learn from them

Anthony Langarica 3-14-19 World History Their are two Hallmarks at NDNU that stand out to me out of the seven this institution has. The first one that stands out to me is the Hallmark 2 and the second Hallmark that stands out is number 5. Hallmark two states that " We honor the dignity and sacredness of each person." This stands out to me because this means that we respect one another. We also dont take anyone for granted and cherish each person as an equal. Hallmark 5 states "We embrace the gift of diversity." I like this Hallmark in particular because in the San Fransico area their are people from many different backgrounds. We embrace these backgrounds and the cultures of others. An example of this would be Chinatown. Chinatown has the China feel to it, embracing their culture even though they are not in their home land. We can see all around us how these Hallmarks come into play with our lifes without us knowing it.
