pessimists like Charles H. Feinstein argued that the living standards of life deteriorated for the working class in early industrialisation. The main difference in the perception of judging the living standards between optimists and pessimists is the distinction between the importance of qualitative and quantitative factors that influenced the lives of workers during industrialisation. On the ''quantitative side'',optimists base the arguments on real wages,life expectancy and on the move to the cities

The period 1928 to 1933 marked a transition, perhaps the most decisive turning point in the history of the country of Russia.

Yarra River was clear during the European settlement, but there has been intensive land clearing and ongoing development since the mid 1800’s. As a result of the industrialisation clay particles have appeared. The ecosystem is home to over 240 faunas, including the endangered growling grass frog. Given that over time industrialisation has resulted and therefore the salt from the building products that have been used to construct the buildings may have resulted in affecting the salinity levels.

the definition has changed. Firstly, Parsons believed that the extended family was the norm during pre-industrialisation. This was because England was a kinship-based society was because the family was self-sufficient where its member’s wold work together and the older members of the family were needed for extra help with work or to look after the children. He then said that industrialisation led to decline of the extended family as it lost functions and the isolated nuclear family became the norm

prosperity within the serf’s population thus industrial modernisation could not occur. However, after emancipation, serfs were allowed to leave their land and go to prosperous environments such as cities (Moscow and St Petersburg), therefore industrialisation could thrive as now serfs believe there is opportunity for their lives to improve and not stay stagnant. On the other hand, although serfs could move from their land, redemption payments had to be paid. Thus any money earned from moving to cities
