Introduction of industrial revolution for project
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
The Industrial Revolution resulted in the most profound, far-reaching changes in the history of humanity. And its influence continues to sweep through our lives today. The last 250 years of industrialization have altered our lives more than any event or development in the past 12,000 years: in where we live, how we work, what we wear, what we eat, what we do for fun, how we are educated, how long we live and how many children we have. The Industrial Revolution provided the countries that first adopted it with the technological and economic advantages necessary to eventually rule most of the world. In short, the Industrial Revolution is the “game changer” of modern world history. More than anything else, it’s what makes the modern world, well, “modern.”
Consider a few global consequences of industrialization. When the Industrial Revolution started in the 18th century, the great majority of people lived in the countryside. But, the growth of cities coincided with the growth of industry, and rapid urbanization continues to increase in contemporary times. By 2008, for the first time in human history, more people in the world lived in cities than in rural areas (“World Population”). The same 250-year-old process has also resulted in modern technological innovations that generations of people have grown accustomed to—such as steam engines, railroads, cars, modern appliances, and computers. Average life expectancy has more than doubled in industrialized nations, while average incomes have increased even more. To be sure, industrialization has improved life in many ways for many people.
elSalvadorOn the other hand, industrialization has not spread wealth evenly across the globe, and the consequences have often been unjust. For example, in 2010, in developing countries, where 85% of people in the world live, 16,000 children die each day from hunger-related causes—that's one child every five seconds (“Global Hunger”). This tragedy is just one of the far-reaching consequences of the wealth and income inequality in our contemporary world. But how did it come about that, as of 2006, 10% of the world’s wealthiest people controlled 85% of the world’s wealth? (Brown) Because getting a head start matters: the wealthiest countries in the world today are those that industrialized first.
