The Industrial Revolution’s Effect on Social Class
The industrial revolution was the period in which fundamental changes and effects took place in England between 1760 to 1850.The revolution had diverse effects on various sectors such as agriculture, education, transportation as well as the social class of the people. Moreover, the industrial revolution was a gradual process and generated drastic changes to the life of people in society as a whole. The fundamental purpose of this study discussion is to explore and showcase the effect the revolution had to the social division of people in England as well as the rest of the world. Social class was the categorization of society by their social and economic status. Focus will be made on various social classes that came into being during this historical era. The effect of the industrial revolution was mostly seen in the living conditions of the social classes during the 1880s.
Among the nobility class, the birth was more significant compared to their income levels. Duke Cousins were weak and lazy and were accepted in the high society over the wealthy industrialists emanating from the lower class. Few lords owned great houses both in country and London town and additionally the lords were always waited on by their servants. During the modern industrial period of the 1800s, aristocracy members dominated almost every level of the ruling body. The aristocratic young lady during this era was eligible for marriage (Wyatt, 2009). On this regard, she would come out as a debutante on occasion she was being presented to the queen. The boys had possessed both governesses and nannies and attended elite learning institutions. Girls, on the other hand, acquired their education at homes awaiting their marriage. Few girls

Summers Memo

...Summers memo was a 1991 memo on trade liberalization that was written by Lant Pritchett and signed by Lawrence Summers while he was Chief Economist of the World Bank. It included a section that both Summers and Pritchett say was sarcastic that suggested dumping toxic waste in third-world countries for perceived economic benefits [Least Developed Countries]? I can think of three reasons: 1) The measurements of the costs of health impairing pollution depends on the earnings. From this point of view a given amount of health impairing pollution should be done in the country with the lowest cost, which will be the country with the lowest wages. I think the economic logic behind dumping a load of toxic waste in the lowest wage country is impeccable and we should face up to that. 2) The costs of pollution are likely to be non-linear as the initial increments of pollution probably have very low cost. I've always thought that under-populated countries in Africa are vastly UNDER-polluted, their air quality is probably vastly inefficiently low compared to Los Angeles or Mexico City. Only the lamentable facts that so much pollution is generated by non-tradable industries (transport, electrical generation) and that the unit transport costs of solid waste are so high prevent world welfare enhancing trade in air pollution and waste. 3) The demand for a clean environment for aesthetic and health reasons is likely to have very high income elasticity. The concern over an agent that causes a...

I started my experience by asking them to define the term "disabled " which in return they answered that it is a physical or a mental condition that limits a person's condition,movements/activities or senses .To back this up I provided some basic information to help them get a more proper idea of the topic (a better grasp on the subject ,so that it will result into a good feedback session and discuss properly ) and asked if they have ever shared an experience with a disabled person or shared the same environment e.g school . I received lots of feedback in relation to this ,situations about disabled people that shared the same role as ours ,that of a student .Moreover ,I asked them how they approached disabled people .Did they act in away as if they deserved their pity ?or they regarded them as a normal person ?
