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.
4Social Darwinism

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?

worker? - How does laise faire economics affect the worker
in the factory?

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?
7Government 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
8What are mutual aid societies?

organizing and labor unions? - Why do you think that group was the ones pushing
for unity?

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
11Socialism

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

20Changes in the Industrial Society Continued
- How was novels and poetry changed?
21Poetry
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!
22Poetry
- "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."
23Novel
- 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.
