Title: Change in Society


1
Change in Society
  • Industrial Society need Industrial Change

2
How do the times force change?
  • What were the major classes in society?
  • How was your wealth determined?
  • What were the values of society before the
    Industrial Revolution?
  • How have those values changed?

3
New Social Order
  • Went from simple division,
  • (royalty, nobles, middle class, church),
  • To more complex social structure
  • Upper mid-class (government and military
    personal)
  • middle class (doctors, lawyers, scientists)
  • lower mid class (teachers, office workers,
    clerks)
  • Poor (homeless, slums, factory workers)
  • The lower classes struggled to keep up with the
    upper middle class.

4
Social Darwinism
  • How does the division in the classes cause change
    in scientific thinking about human nature and
    survival?
  • How can this new theory be both a benefit and
    negative to future generations?
  • How would you feel if you were considered to be
    the weak link?

5
How does Liaise Faire Economics cause a problem
in Society?
  • How does having NO government regulation of trade
    and business cause a negative in this new
    industrial society?
  • How does competition and drive benefit the
    worker?
  • How does laise faire economics affect the worker
    in the factory?

6
Change in Government
  • How does the current situation cause change in
    the government?
  • Why were people more open to radial idea?
  • How will the current government attempt to
    restore order and reduce interest in these
    radical ideas?

7
Government Intervention
  • As classes struggled, governments in England,
    France, America, and other industrial nations
    were forced to look at the situation and make
    changes
  • The workers were able to successfully organize
    and demand change for the better
  • Governments eventually adopted an 8 hour work
    day, child labor laws, a minimum wages, and
    health and safety standards both in the work
    place and at home, and restrictions on monopolies
  • Sewage systems were constructed, unions allowed,
    the slums were attempted to be cleaned up

8
What are mutual aid societies?
  • Mutual aid was set up to help the sick and
    disabled
  • First step to organizing
  • What radical thinkers pushed for the workers
    organizing and labor unions?
  • Why do you think that group was the ones pushing
    for unity?

9
Changes in the Industrial Society
  • Women began the fight for their right to vote,
    (suffrage movement)
  • Middle class became focused on appearance, and
    being proper
  • Poor and lower classes tried to model middle
    class standards
  • Public Education and Higher learning became
    priorities in society.
  • Religion became more focused on charities and
    aiding the poor

10
Haves v. Have Nots
  • Wealthy lived in comfortable homes in suburbs
    (Haves merchants, skilled workers, factory
    owners
  • Middle class women became ladies and did not
    work in industry
  • Middle class ignored workers
  • Poor lived in slums, ghettos (have nots)
    Crowed into dimly lit, small, tenant buildings
  • No running water, shared water pump
  • No way to discard waste, sewage system
  • Could smell the slums before you got into them
  • Attempted revolts quickly put down

11
Socialism
  • Socialists viewed the capitalist system as
    inherently wrong
  • Belief that capitalism is designed to create
    poverty and poor working conditions because of
    its end goal of earning maximum profits for
    investors
  • Socialism government owns the means of
    production
  • Belief that if the government (the people) owns
    the means of production, these factories and
    industries will function in the public (as
    opposed to private) interest

12

    the Prussian government

Changes in the Industrial Society Continued
  • How was novels and poetry changed?

21
Poetry
La Marseillaise

Arise, children of the Fatherland,
The day of glory has arrived!
Against us the tyranny
The bloodied banner is raised. (repeat)
Do you hear in the countryside
The roar of those ferocious soldiers?
They come right here among us
To slaughter our sons and wives!












22
Poetry
  • "Because I was happy upon the heath, And smiled
    among the winter's snow, They clothed me in the
    clothes of death, And taught me to sing the
    notes of woe.
  • "And because I am happy and dance and sing, They
    think they have done me no injury, And are gone
    to praise God and his priest and king, Who make
    up a heaven of our misery."

23
Novel
  • There were the men in the pickle rooms, for
    instance, where old Antanas had gotten his death
    scarce a one of these that had not some spot of
    horror on his person. Let a man so much as scrape
    his finger pushing a truck in the pickle rooms,
    and he might have a sore that would put him out
    of the world all the joints in his fingers might
    be eaten by the acid, one by one. Of the butchers
    and floorsmen, the beef-boners and trimmers, and
    all those who used knives, you could scarcely
    find a person who had the use of his thumb time
    and time again the base of it had been slashed,
    till it was a mere lump of flesh against which
    the man pressed the knife to hold it. The hands
    of these men would be criss- crossed with cuts,
    until you could no longer pretend to count them
    or to trace them. They would have no nails,
    they had worn them off pulling hides their
    knuckles were swollen so that their fingers
    spread out like a fan. There were men who worked
    in the cooking rooms, in the midst of steam and
    sickening odors, by artificial light in these
    rooms the germs of tuberculosis might live for
    two years, but the supply was renewed every hour.
    There were the beef-luggers, who carried
    two-hundred-pound quarters into the
    refrigerator-cars a fearful kind of work, that
    began at four o'clock in the morning, and that
    wore out the most powerful men in a few years.
    There were those who worked in the chilling
    rooms, and whose special disease was rheumatism
    the time limit that a man could work in the
    chilling rooms was said to be five years.
