Do NowGet a “Factory Discipline: Factory Rules” reading from
the front of the room.
Answer: Describe factory life during the Industrial Revolution.Judging by the Berlin factory rules, what were the differences
between preindustrial and industrial work routines?How might these rules have affected the lives of families.
Development of the Domestic System of ProductionDomestic system developed in England
Late 1600s-late 1800s
Domestic system of production – “putting out” system Businesspeople delivered raw materials to workers’ homes Workers manufactured goods from these raw materials in their homes
(typically articles of clothing) Businesspeople picked up finished goods and paid workers wages based
on number of items
Domestic system could not keep up with demand
Factory SystemDeveloped to replace the domestic system of production
Faster method of production
Workers concentrated in a set location
Production anticipated demand For example: Under the domestic system, a woman might select
fabric and have a businessperson give it to a home-based worker to make into a dress. Under the factory system, the factory owner bought large lots of popular fabrics and had workers create multiple dresses in common sizes, anticipating that women would buy them.
Industrial Capitalism and the Working ClassPre-Industrial Revolution rural families did not rely solely on
wages for sustenance Owned their own farms or gardens where they raised most of their
own food Made their own clothing Unemployment was rare
Industrialization destroyed workers’ independence Workers in cities did not have the means to grow their own food or
make their own clothing Workers relied entirely upon their employers for wages with which
they bought everything they needed
Changing Employee-Employer RelationshipsDomestic system
Workers and employers knew each other personallyWorkers could aspire to become employers
Factory systemWorkers no longer owned the means of production (machinery)Employers no longer knew workers personally
Factories often run by managers paid by the corporation
Relationships between employers and employees grew strained
Domestic System Factory SystemMethods •Hand tools •Machines
Location •Home •Factory
Ownership / Kinds of Tools
•Small hand tools owned by worker
•Large power-driven machines owned by the capitalist
Production Output •Small level of production•Sold only to local market•Manufactured on a per-order basis
•Large level of production•Sold to a worldwide market•Manufactured in anticipation of demand
Nature of Work Done by Worker
•Worker manufactured entire item.
•Worker typically made one part of the larger whole. •Henry Ford’s assembly line (early 20th century) kept workers stationary.
Hours of Work •Worker worked as much as he/she would & could, according to demand.
•Worker worked set daily hours.
Worker Dependence on Employer
•Worker had multiple sources of sustenance – other employers, own garden or farm, and outside farm labor.
•Worker relied entirely on capitalist for his/her income – urban living made personal farming and gardening impractical.
Problems of the Factory SystemFactories were crowded, dark, and dirty
Workers toiled from dawn to dusk
Young children worked with dangerous machinery
Employment of women and children put men out of work Women and children were paid less for the same work
Technological unemployment – workers lost their jobs as their labor was replaced by machines
Rights of Female and Child Workers
Women and children could legally be paid less than men for the same work Factory owners were more willing to hire them Male workers grew resentful
English child laborers England had a history (going back to the 17th century) of training pauper children
(even those younger than five years old) in a trade Poor children followed their mothers into factories
Early male-dominated unions fought to banish women and children from the workplace Eventually this strategy was abandoned Women eventually won right to equal pay for equal work
Improvements: Rise of Labor UnionsBefore labor unions, workers bargained individually – “individual
bargaining” Before factories, a worker could bargain for better wages and working
conditions by arguing his or her particular skills But in factories, work is routine and one worker can easily replace
another
With labor unions, workers bargained together as a group, or collective – “collective bargaining” Organized groups of workers elected leaders to bargain on their behalf Used tools (such as strikes) to gain rights
Short Reading ExercisePgs 660-661 in your textbook: “Young
People in the Industrial Revolution: Child Labor”
Answer questions 1 and 2 that follow
Poor Living ConditionsFactories driven solely by profit
Businesses largely immune to problems of workers
Factory (also company or mill) towns Towns built by employers around factories to house workers Workers charged higher prices than normal for rent, groceries, etc.
Workers often became indebted to their employers Created a type of forced servitude as workers had to stay on at their jobs to pay their debts
Considered paternalistic by workers Some employers had workers’ interests at heart But workers wanted to control their own lives
Slum Living ConditionsFactory towns – often built and owned by factories
Full of crowded tenementsFew amenities
Tenements – buildings with rented multiple dwellingsApartment buildings with a more negative connotationOvercrowded and unsanitary
Workers were unsatisfied both inside and outside the factories
The First and Second Industrial Revolutions The first, or old, Industrial Revolution took place between about 1750 and
1870 Took place in England, the United States, Belgium, and France Saw fundamental changes in agriculture, the development of factories, and rural-
to-urban migration
The second Industrial Revolution took place between about 1870 and 1960 Saw the spread of the Industrial Revolution to places such as Germany, Japan, and
Russia Electricity became the primary source of power for factories, farms, and homes Mass production, particularly of consumer goods Use of electrical power saw electronics enter the marketplace (electric lights,
radios, fans, television sets)
The Spread of the Industrial Revolution Mid-1800s – Great Britain, the world leader in the Industrial
Revolution, attempted to ban the export of its methods and technologies, but this soon failed
1812 – United States industrialized after the War of 1812
After 1825 – France joined the Industrial Revolution following the French Revolution and Napoleonic wars
Circa 1870 – Germany industrialized at a rapid pace, while Belgium, Holland, Italy, Sweden, and Switzerland were slower to industrialize
By 1890 – Russia and Japan began to industrialize
Do Now Based off your understanding of the Industrial
Revolution thus far, identify the Political, Social, and Economic effects of Industrialization on England.

Social Changes
Social Structure Industrial Middle Class
Industrial Working Class
The Emerging Social Structure of the Industrial Era
The Elite 5 percent of the population that controlled 30 to 40 percent of wealth Alliance of wealthy business elite and traditional aristocracy
The Middle Classes Upper middle class, middle middle-class, lower middle-class Professionals White-collar workers Middle class values in the Victorian period
The Lower classes 80 percent of the European population Agriculture Skilled, semi-skilled, unskilled workers

New Urban EnvironmentGrowth of cities: by 1914, 80 percent of the population in
Britain lived in cities (40 percent in 1800); 45 percent in France (25 percent in 1800); 60 percent in Germany (25 percent in 1800); and 30 percent in eastern Europe (10 percent in 1800)
Improving living conditions
Housing needs
EducationWhy did governments begin to push
education?New types of jobsPolitical goals
Education in an Age of Mass Society In early 19th century reserved for elites or the wealthier middle class
Between 1870 and 1914 most Western governments began to offer at least primary education to both boys and girls between 6 and 12 State teacher training schools Reasons:
Needs of industrialization Need for an educated electorate To instill patriotism
Compulsory elementary education created a demand for teachers, most were women
“Natural role” of women
Experience of WomenNew Job Opportunities
Marriage and Family
Women’s RightsEmmeline Pankhurst
The Experiences of Women Marriage and the Family
Difficulty for single women to earn a living Most women married
Birth control Female control of family size
Middle-class family Men provided income and women focused on household and child care Fostered the idea of togetherness
Victorian ideas Working-class families
Daughters work until married 1890 to 1914 higher paying jobs made it possible to live on the husband’s wages Material consumption
Movement for Women’s Rights Fight to own property
Access to higher education by middle and upper-middle class women
Access to jobs dominated by men: teaching, nursing
Demand for equal political rights Most vocal was the British movement Emmeline Pankhurst (1858-1928), Women’s Social and Political Union, 1903 Suffragettes
Support of peace movements
The New Woman Bertha von Suttner
Social Thought: SocialismSocialists – 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
Social Thoughts1. Utopianism – Robert Owen & New Lanark
1. First Socialists2. Strove to create a fair and just system 3. Community divided tasks and rewarded equitability
Robert OwenUtopian socialist
Owned a textile factory in New Lanark, Scotland
Decreased working hours
Improved working conditions and employee housing
Shared management and profits with employees
Proved that a socialist-based company could be profitable
Social ThoughtSocialism
1. Utopianism – Robert Owen & New Lanark
2. Communism – Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels1. Bourgeois vs. Proletariat
Marxism – Communism
•Economic changes lead to historical changes.
•Historically, the wealthy classes have held all power.
Economic Interpretation of
History
•History has been a struggle between the rich and the poor.
•In the Industrial Revolution, the struggle is between the Bourgeois capitalists (owners of the means of production) and the proletariat (workers).
Class Struggle
•Workers produce all wealth but receive only enough to survive.
•“Surplus value” (profit) of the workers’ labor goes to the capitalists.
Surplus Value
•Industrial wealth leads to the concentration of wealth among fewer and fewer capitalists, while the living and working conditions of the proletariat grow worse.
•The proletariat will eventually rebel and create a socialist state.
Inevitability of Socialism
Social Thought1. Utilitarianism – Jeremy Bentham & John Stuart Mill
1. Suffrage
2. Capitalism – David Riccardo & Thomas Malthus
1. Laissez Faire
2. “Iron Law of Wages”
Social Thought1. Liberalism
2. Social Darwinism and Nationalism1. Charles Darwin & Herbert Spencer
Social ThoughtWith all of the possible hardships that can
be associated with industrialization how did people find comfort in their daily lives?
Methodism evangelical Protestant denominations founded in
18th century England by John Wesley
Methodismworldwide Protestant movement dating from 1729,
when a group of students at the University of Oxford, England, began to assemble for worship, study, and Christian service. Their fellow students named them the Holy Club and “methodists,” a derisive allusion to the methodical manner in which they performed the various practices that their sense of Christian duty and church ritual required.
Art and Leisure1. Realism
1. Charles Dickens & Gustave Flaubert
2. Romanticism
3. Impressionism1. Claude Monet
4. Tourism and Sport1. Thomas Cooke
Social Changes:Increase in Leisure Time
Labor-saving devices invented and produced Vacuum cleaners Washing machines Refrigerators
Entrepreneurs and inventors developed new forms of entertainment Moving pictures Amusement parks
Birth of the weekend Traditionally, Western nations had Sunday (the Christian day of rest) as the only day off
from work Saturday was added to accommodate the religious observances of Jewish factory workers
(whose Sabbath, or Shabbat, runs from Friday at sundown to Saturday at sundown)
Downside? Acute labor problems
Workers guilds decline
Development of proletariat class vs. capitalist class
Socialism and early utopian societies based on utilitarian ideas (utopian socialists): Scotland and U.S. = Robert Owen
Communism
