...Since times of slavery in the United States cotton has meant big business to entrepreneurs in America. Whether it be used in clothes, home furnishings and even in the American dollar, cotton is a major product in many everyday things that we use. No one knows exactly how old cotton is. Although scientists have recovered bits of cotton believed to be dated back over 7,000 years ago! Cotton was first spun by machinery in England in 1730. The industrial revolution in England and the invention on the cotton gin in the U.S. paved the way for the important place cotton holds in the world today. Because of Eli Whitney’s cotton gin, within ten years the value of the U.S. cotton crop rose from $150,000 to more than $8 million. Cotton grows in warm climate and most of the world’s cotton is grown in the U.S., Uzbekistan, the People’s Republic of China and India. In America, the major cotton-producing states are: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas, Florida, Kansas, and Virginia. So needless to say America is definitely a major contributor to the cotton used in our everyday lives. Location is important, but the point of this essay isn’t to tell you all about the facts of cotton. Although cotton has brought in a lot of revenue for all countries involved, what is the cost paid by the citizens and workers? In September thousands of children in Uzbekistan...

...Why Did The Industrial Revolution Happen First in Britain? The industrial Revolution began in Great Britain almost 250 years ago, in the 1760s. Within a half century it started to spread, first to northwestern Europe and the newly formed United States. The Industrial Revolution consisted of the application of new sources of power to the production process, achieved with transmission equipment necessary to apply this power to manufacturing which involved an increased scale of human organization that facilitated specialization and coordination at pre-industrial levels groupings rarely contemplated. The key invention in Europe’s industrial revolution was the steam engine, which harnessed the energy potential of coal. Later, the industrial revolution also used electric and internal combustion motors and petroleum as well as coal. This revolution, progressively introduced steam or other power to the production process and steadily increased the proportion of the process accomplished by equipment without direct human guidance. The organizational facet of the industrial revolution was initially symbolized by the factory, but the organizational principles spread beyond the factory itself. The two central features of industrialization were the revolution in technology and organization of production, which yielded one clear result of a great increase in the total of goods and individual worker’s output. The revolutionary quality of industrialization is particularly obvious in the world...

...of time. The changes that occurred were a result of the industrial development and advancements that took place in the 19th century. Consequently, there were both many positive and negative effects that occurred as a result of these changes. However, these developments affected the North and the South in great ways. The differences between the two eventually caused a good amount of tension because they were moving in completely different directions with culture, political views, and economies. As a consequence of poor farming conditions and a mass amount of immigrants coming into America, the Northern states developed into an economy based on industry and manufacturing. The North was mountainous with rocky soil and rapid rivers. It had long cold winters and mild summers which were not suitable for cash crops such as tobacco, cotton, sugar, rice, etc. They had to focus heavily on industrialization due to the resources they had available to them, such as iron and coal that was abundant. Using these resources as an energy source, the North constructed factories that produced textiles, furniture, tools, etc. Since factories were producing a mass amount of goods in a short amount of time, they exported their goods to the West and South. Trade was easier in the North, due to the amount of canals and railroads that connected major cities and towns to one another. To keep these factories running, they needed unskilled workers who would monitor the machines, work for low wages and...

...TEXTILE: A textile or cloth is a flexible woven material consisting of a network of natural or artificial fibres often referred to as thread or yarn. Yarn is produced by spinning raw fibres of wool, flax, cotton, or other material to produce long strands. Textiles are formed by weaving, knitting, crocheting, knotting, or pressing fibres together (felt). * Textile refers to any material made of interlacing fibres. * Fabric refers to any material made through weaving, knitting, spreading, crocheting, or bonding that may be used in production of further goods (garments, etc.). * Cloth may be used synonymously with fabric but often refers to a finished piece of fabric used for a specific purpose (e.g., table cloth). The word 'textile' has come from a latin word texere, meaning 'to weave'. The production of textiles is a craft whose speed and scale of production has been altered almost beyond recognition by industrialization and the introduction of modern manufacturing techniques. However, for the main types of textiles, plain weave, twill, or satin weave, there is little difference between the ancient and modern methods. PRODUCTION METHOD: 1. Weaving is a textile production method which involves interlacing a set of longer threads (called the warp) with a set of crossing threads (called the weft). This is done on a frame or machine known as a loom, of which there are a number of types. Some weaving is still done by hand, but the vast majority is mechanised...

...economic growth becomes all the more impressive. Over the past five years, Bangladesh has enjoyed an average real GDP growth of six percent. It is mostly because of the labor-intensive industries; in particular textiles and garments have fueled growth as Bangladesh’s tremendous reserves of cheap, considerably-skilled labor have attracted foreign investment. Bangladesh is now actually a very important hub of the world’s textiles market. However, 2011 was a tough year for the textile industry of Bangladesh as the cotton price played a rapid changing game throughout the year. But good news as the cotton and yarn price has became quite stable at the end of 2011 and the textile industries are coming round from their ill conditions during that period. The Garments export is also showing good growth although it was lying below the target in the last six month’s expectation from EPB due to the sign of economic recession in the major exporting regions of the country. Hence it is important to move smartly and be ready to avoid any upcoming turmoil. Bangladesh is now the second biggest exporter of readymade garments in the world. The textiles industry is contributing around 12% of the national GDP. Around 40% value addition of manufacturing sector comes from textiles. It is possible only because, the industry has developed a strong backward linkage to support the fast growing demand from the garments sector. Over the years significant development has taken place in the textile sector. The...

...The cotton industry was essential to the expansion of worldwide capitalism and furthermore, it shaped the earth we live in currently. We as humans need to understand to what extent that the process of defining the world depended on the trade, land expropriation, genocide, and slavery. In The Empire of Cotton, Beckert calls this way of defining our world as “War capitalism”, and additionally explains that the usage of guns by European states in order to change the world's cotton business was a factor in why the industrial revolution took place. When Samuel Greg created the first water-driven yarn-spinning factory at Quarry Bank Mill, England in 1784, he got the money to start it that he consumed as a slave owner on a West Indian island. A great...

...the farming industry different between MEDCS and LEDCS? In the booklet, we were given various research tasks and completed many activities in order to comprehend the significant differences of the farming industry. Aspects included; the different types of farming, UK farming patterns, how farming has changed in the UK, how farming is different in LEDCS and conflicts of interest. Ultimately, each of us are going to decide which location is best to set up a cotton industry. The first location is in the state of Mississippi in the USA whilst the second location is based in India. The American state of Mississippi cotton is considered a major industry, ranking third behind poultry and forestry, with its revenue averaging approximately $598M each year. It is told that farmers produce nearly 1.1 million acres of cotton annually however this number can easily change depending on weather and production price. Statically, 1937 was the most profitable year so far. In the nation of the United States, Mississipi (along with New Mexico) was stated to be the most illiterate state in the country, the reading age is incredibly low, having poor education and being a state filled with poverty. Thus many citizens who did not complete a beneficial education go on to work/have a career in the farming industry, including cotton farming. Our second location is no newbie to the cotton/ textiles industry! India is one of the biggest producers and exporters of cotton especially textile cotton. It has been...

...would be wearing some cloth, most of which is woven. Today the average consumption of textile products per person per year is 6.7 Kg. The world population has crossed the six billion figure, so more than 40 million tons of fabric is utilized by the mankind of world each year. Indeed both consumption per person and population are increasing at a faster pace. Consumption per person is confidently expected to increase after December 2004, as WTO would eliminate the quota costs, import duties and other such tariffs. To be competitive in the textile market, the manufacturers of this industry will have to transfer this benefit of low cost to the customers, which in turn would encourage the customers to buy more. This process would yield economies of scale for the producers and thus the textile companies will achieve enormous growth. Pakistan has competitive edge over many other countries in the textile industry, so it will more focus and capitalize on this concern. This gives a view of future prospects of opportunities in textile and importance of textile products. More specifically the shade, look, handfeel of fabric and durability of shade are the crucial factors of concern for the textile customers (these factors are expected to gain more attention of customers in future). These factors are complied in dyeing processes. Kohinoor Dyeing Mills Ltd. (KDML) is involved in the business of dyeing of woven fabric. It is equipped with state of the art and highly automated technology. The vision...

...has been the undisputed leader in the global cotton industry in almost any way measurable and other countries, particularly poor ones, had little chance of catching up. Travels of T Short focuses on Cotton production, Chinese manufacturing and the “snowflake” market of used clothes. Unlike other industries, “consumer electronics that shifted from UK to US to Japan to Hong Kong to Taiwan and to China”, the United States still maintains dominance in cotton industry along with China. Using Porter’s “5” forces, industry analysis reveals that the following factors influenced the T-Shirt globalization that drove value chain from country to country. #1) Industrialization with creativity, entrepreneurship and cooperation. • 18th century witnessed the exploding productivity of English cotton that dramatically lowered the prices and affordability of cotton products. Industrialization with the emerging technology benefitted the industry to reduce cost of production, a series of technical improvements in both spinning and weaving of yarns made large-scale production possible. • British demand during industrialization spurred the American dominance in cotton – in 1971 US was producing 2M pound of cotton whereas Asiatic countries were producing 400M pounds, but in next 10 years US production increased by 25 times and meeting 70% of England’s demand. • Movement in value chain - US achieved dominance due to mechanization (picking of cotton etc.), concentrating capital, labor and entrepreneurial...
