Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject History - America, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: This paper looks into the history of the US and its connection to the events of the world. Notably, the Industrial Revolution had diverse effects on urban and family lives, social classes and living standards. In this regard, the two principal impacts of the First Industrial Revolution include the rise of factories as well as the emergence of the Bourgeoisie. The advancement and emergence of new technologies and machinery drastically changed the division of labor, with the traditional craftsmen turning into factories to work as professionals. With the increased interest among craftsmen to work as machine operators, diverse industries cropped up, for instance the cotton textile industry, iron industry and the steam engine, facilitating the industrial factory that became the chief means of labor in the new machines. The bourgeoisie was a new group that was added by the industrial capitalism to the middle class, a class that had existed since the emergence of cities during the Middle Ages. In this sense, this term (bourgeoisie) came to include people who were involved in commerce, banking, and industry, encompassing professionals like lawyers, doctors, and even teachers as wealthy people purchased land. The lower end of the economic scale saw the shopkeepers and the craftsman. Therefore, the aforementioned impacts are justifiable because prior to the Industrial Revolution era, most communities depended on craftsmen and farming only, before the advent of new technologies that accelerated the production of goods. As a result, people began creating interests in professional fields so as to increase their production and reduce time consuming, a phenomenon that resulted in the creation of a new class of individuals; eased by the division of labor.
