INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
Hello, good
morning. We are Paula Caballero, Judith Papiol and Paula Batista and you're
welcome to our oral presentation. Please if you have any question, at the end
of our explanation. Thank you.
It began in the Unit Kingdom and then, it arrived in Werstern Europe, North America and Japan.
Judith P.
We are
going to talk about the Industrial Revolution, what it is and when and where it
started. Judith is going to explain the social classes and Paula the mining.
The
Industrial Revolution was a period from 1750 to 1850 where changes in
agriculture, manufacturing, mining, transportation and technology had an
enormous effect on the social, economic and cultural conditions of the times.
It began in the Unit Kingdom and then, it arrived in Werstern Europe, North America and Japan.
The
technological advances, like the steam power, the population increase and all
the agricultural changes allowed this revolution. The economy increased because
people who worked in agriculture changed their jobs and they started to work
with machines. With that, two new concepts appeared: cities and a new social
class, the working class.
Now, as a
curiosity, you might know that when the steam power appeared, some people said
that this innovation was a terrible thing and people who travelled in, would
die. They thought that going 50 Km/h, their ears and noses would bleed and the
passengers would die in horrible conditions.
Judith P.
Hello
everyone! I’m Judith and I’m going to speak about the social classes that
appeared during the industrial revolution.
First, I’m
going to speak about the main reasons that changed society. There are three:
increasing food supplies, reduction of famine and epidemics and, the last one, progress
in the field of medicine.
After this
small introduction, I’m going to speak about the two different classes that
appeared during the Industrial Revolution: bourgeoisie and working class.
Now, I’m
going to explain some characteristics about these social classes. On the one
hand, we have the bourgeoisie. The bourgeoisie were the owners of the
factories. These owners had political and culture power and they had great
benefits with their factories. On the other hand, we have the working class.
They were the factory workers. They worked in exchange for a salary or wage. They
worked around 12 to 14 hours a day. They don’t have holidays and women and
children worked too. Men disagreed with this rule because they thought that
women had to stay home doing housework and children had to study to prepare for
a good career. However this social class people had a lot of diseases, like
tuberculosis, because they worked in bad hygienic conditions.

Here we finish our presentation. Thank you for
your attention.
Paula C.
The person who works in a mine is a miner.
Mining was an essential activity for the development
of the revolution. It consists in extracting coal, which had a lot of
importance because thanks to it the machines could work, for example, the steam
power, which allowed to create steamboats and steam trains. Both of these
transports were very useful because people used them to move to other continents
and in that century moving around the world was very important for the
development of trade.
Living conditions of the miners
The living conditions of some people in the Industrial
Revolution were very unfair. The miners, for example worked about 12-14 hours a
day. While they were working, they didn’t have light, and they couldn’t drink
water until they went to home. Also, they didn’t have the hygiene that we have
now.
Big Pit
Big Pit is a very important museum and a real coal
mine. It’s in the South-east of the United Kingdom.
Conclusion
The conclusion that we have arrived to is that the
revolution was good progress for some people but was very unfair for others.
