Agricultural & Industrial Revolution Notes Part Dos.
-Families had small plots of land; grew only for what their family needed that year (Subsistance Farming)
-Agrarian= lifestyle based on agriculture.
-Farmers used hand tools/pulled by animals.
-Crop rotation- they rotate the crops/different plants every year to help replenish soil/get the best amount of nutrients.
-Revolutions started because they had many natural resources.=rivers to transport goods, coal, iron, cotton, open land.
-Farmers with small lands went to cities. Amounts to large population. People learned the trades/worked for food.
-Steam engine=Industrial Revolution. Factories are being built.
-People want more money. Women and children were used as cheap labor because they're not used to working.
-People do not have to learn the entire trade/learn only their part in the factory. Had to learn or production will slow down/be punished/hurt. Poor working conditions.
-Women and children realize they don't have to work under those conditions. They held strikes. Formed unions (fighting for them) saying x amount of breaks and x amount of time for breaks. Required to pay minimum wage.
-Other companies start to grow/factories get larger, more of them.
-Assembly lines-a little bit of product made at each stattion, passed down until completed.
-Automobiles starting to be made. Henry Ford= 1st man to start to create automobiles. Car industry is growing.

Notes on Industrial Revolution
-Apprenticeships were replaced by the factory businesses. Didn't have to learn the entire process of making items, took less time.
-Agrian society- everything is based around agriculture.
subsistance farming- grow crops for what family needs that year.
production increased so people started farming to make money.
migrating to the cities for employment.
-Socitey changed due to advancements.
-Women and children will work for less.

Bellringers 4/11-
4/11-The whole backlash on Ozzie Guillen is typical in celebrities to me. He said something inappropriate, apologizes, but still will feel the resent from many people. His statement was offensive and the Cuban people deserved to riot. Guillen does feel guilty, and has been known for saying what he wants. However that doesn't excuse him from the flat-out rude comment he spoke about the dictator. I believe as the Cubans do and he should be punished, but not fired. He did retrace his words and should be forgiven this time.
4/12-I could not live without the several sewing machines invented during the Industrial Revolution. That would mean I would have to make my own clothes, which is impossible. Just, no. I could not make anything by myself that could be worn decently. Those machines do all the hard work for me.
4/16-I believe the most important invention we have speaked about so far would be the steam engine. It improved so many machines and allowed technology to move forward.
4/24- I believe Breivik used video games as a cover up to his murderous actions. There has to be something deeply wrong with him if he can commit murder and just say, "Oh, I used mouse-clicking and button-smashing in virtual worlds to plan my mass killings." He sounds like a bored, lonely man with mental problems and absolutely all the time to do whatever he wanted. I think violent video games do not alter your mind and make you want to harm other people. Millions of people play the same games that he did. Come on, they are used for entertainment, not to influence violence to deranged people. I say video games are harmless to ordinary people. But for a man like him, it could have been his outlet for murder. Seriously, no one in their right mind could do such a thing.
4/25- The Idustrial Revolution spread more rapidly due to advancemens in communication and techology, like the steam-engine powered boat allowed faster and easier access to trade and people. Women and Children were treated poorly in factories but then were given equal working rights. The assembly lines

Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions
Agricultural Revoltion- started in Great Britain 1600s.
British Isles= Scotland, Ireland, and England.
Citizens were Subsistence Farmers (grew crops for their families)
The Inclosure Movement-land was limited to a select few who could farm the land. People who couldn't find land to farm had to move-cities had population growth. Farmers who had larger farms wanting to effectively farm-inventions were made.
Jethro Toll-thought that when people were seeding their land was wasteful: created the seed-drill. Allowed farmers to plant seeds in straight rows, improved efficiency.
Charles Townson-copied a Dutch idea called crop rotating-each plant required different nutrient from soil. By rotating the soil, by rotating the crops the soil could replenish those needed nutrients.
The discovery of iron allowed to replace wood tools with metal.
Industrial Revolution-
More workers in the cities. Two main natura resources in Great Britain=iron and coal & cotton
-Lots of land, workers, and natural resources helped Great Britain.
Lots of rivers, water. Helped with transportation, food, and power. Disadvantage-floods and droughts. Not all cities had rivers.
Textile Industry- mechanics. making clothing, cloth. Production has increased by machines. could produce approximatly 320 millions yards of silk in 24 hours. One of the 1st factories was a cotton & silk factory.
Steam engines-steam being used as a source of power. Steam-powered boats helped transport faster and more efficently. Communication was advanced. News and info for the inventions spreads faster by 2x.

-Renaissance means 'rebirth' in French.
Began in Florence, Italy.
Medici family started the movement of arts. Lorenzo the Magnificent in particular.
Humanist= people who returned to the past to move forward.
-Frencesco Petrarch- wrote poetry, sonnets to Laura=imaginative person who was his ideal woman.
-<3Niccolo Machiavelli<3- Florentine writer. Wrote The Prince. "Is is better to be loved than feared, or feared than loved?" (Opinion: Loved. It is easier to be feared, and everyone would want to be a little of both, but that would be very hard to do. I would rather be vulnerbale and loved than powerful and feared.) Leader= loved than feared
Artists used perspective for the first time, which made them look normal, more realistic.
Michelangelo- Sistine Chapel inside the Vadican City.
Leonardo Da Vinci- famous for Mona Lisa and the Last Supper. Scetched plants, animals, and machines.
Rafael-painted frescos, madonnas.
Titian-known for the Assumption of the Virgin

-Shaken people's faith and God, resulted in the church losing power & authority. Peasants staged up rises.
Section 4:
-vernacular languages=people with little education spoke this speech that varied from place to place.
-Troubadours were travelling singers who wrote poems about love and chivalry, sang in castles or towns. French fabliaux were short comic stories written in rhymed verse.
-Dante Alighieri and Geoffrey Chaucer were medieval writes. Dante is considered the father of Italian language. Wrote The Divine Comedy. Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales.
-scholasticism=the attempt to bring faith and reason together. Peter Abelard=philosopher, wrote Sic et Non. Thomas Aquinas= considered greatest medieval philospoher, monk of the Dominican order, wrote Summa Theologiae which summarized medieval Christian thought.

Vow of Silence
The Vow of Silence challenge today was very interesting, to say the least. It was challenging, in a way. Especially during partner and team work. My day would be entirely different. I'd struggle with dealing with people more and have much more time to think without words. The day would seem longer, but I;d be more perspective about the world around me. I have learned to an extent how difficult communicating and lfie would be if you followed it everyday. It also gives un an insight on the daily lives of the monks and nuns that do this. A few skills that I didn't realized we needed so much are needed to complete the work we did today. To be specific, cooperation was key. We all had to be patient witrh one another so we could communicate and efficently work together. Also, we all needed to know how to use team skills and using other ways of voicing to get to communicate with others.

United Kingdom
If I could visit anywhere, I would enjoy visiting the United Kingdom, especially London. I would immensly like going to see the London Eye. Also, I have been fascinated with music produced from London, so going to into Rough Trade Records or being able to see an impromptu Arctic Monkeys concert would be incredible. Visiting Abbey Road would be a dream of mine as well.
