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
