The traditional family structure was destroyed, as result of labor mobility and the population shift to the cities. Working-class women were affected in different, and in some ways, worse ways than men because of industrialization than their male counterparts -- prostitution was a common, desperate resort of many women struggling to eke out an existence in the cities.
Agriculture was also transformed by industrialization. The cotton gin made processing cotton on a mass scale possible and profitable, and factories could rapidly weave cotton into consumer goods like fabric for clothing. Thus fashion also became more accessible to the masses. This era saw the birth of the consumer. Entrepreneurs strove to satisfy this new appetite for goods by mass-producing what once could only be made by hand on a farm, or which only was custom-made the wealthy. This new focus on mass-produced spectacles to...
At first, this took the form of the Luddite movement, which attempted to destroy factories in the name of traditional handicrafts. However, soon it became clear that industrialism was 'here to stay,' and instead socially concerned individuals strove to find ways to deal with the modern urban problems of crime, sickness, and oppression through the use of laws and social organization.

The National Housing Act indirectly promoted the idea of lenders offering much longer-term mortgages with the currently accepted concept of monthly payments with the dual interest and principal payment scale. Amortized real estate mortgages opened the door for an average person to purchase and own a single family home. As a result of the National Housing Act, the United States government inadvertently committed itself along with private lenders to insure
Social Institution Changes and Non-ProfitsThis text compares the evolution of two key social institutions: family and education. The family is the most basic social institution of the society. Industrialization significantly changed the structure of the family. The family in the preindustrial, agrarian society was mainly extended (Buehler & O�Brien, 2017). There was a functional fit between the family and the rural economy such that all family members were involved in
Here, we hear nothing like that, and I'm sad that my children will grow up not knowing or understanding the great beauty of nature and her sounds. I know that we must have jobs by this winter, because we cannot stay here in the apartment all day without heat, and we must have a way to feed and clothe our children. Robert tries every day at the factory, hoping there
Jerusalem Some cities prove evocative enough to warrant a biography of their own, and Jerusalem is certainly one of them. Cities as ancient as layered as Jerusalem are more complex than any one person, for the entire gamut of human culture and history passes through their old walls. Like people, cities can also become profoundly insecure and even neurotic. In A Woman in Jerusalem, the titular woman "believed in Jerusalem more
" Moreover, population groups "…pull up roots and seemingly go out of their way to avoid one another…" throughout Southern California, Worster writes (242). An example of the concept of "pulling up roots" is the community of Watts, which in the 1960s, Worster continues, was "an almost entirely black populace" but by the mid-1990s is "predominately Mexican-American" (p. 243). And Little Tokyo, positioned just south of Los Angeles' City Hall, is
