What was the social impact of the industrial revolution in europe,especially on woman and children ?
Prior to the Industrial Revolution, people mainly lived on the land and worked there. They lived relatively healthy and disease-free lives - it was hard but there was a sense of community, people cared for each other . During the Industrial Revolution, people were forced off the land and they poured into the cities, looking for work in the factories. It was common for very young children to work in factories , standing up for 12 hours a day, with one meal break of half an hour. Children who fell asleep standing up, were beaten as punishment. People lived wherever they could find lodgings - often a dozen or more people would live in two rooms, with no running water and sharing a bed. There was no social welfare - you were worked to death. The average life expectancy was about 38. Some schools tried to provide an education for children , by opening on Sundays to teach them a few rudiments of literacy. But....get this .....the church leaders put a stop to this practice because it "broke the biblical teachings of no work on Sundays". Hard to believe, but that is what happened. I'm no expert on social impacts - but you get the picture.
What impact did the transportation revolution have on American lives?
Ease of transportation fueled economic growth by making distant markets accessible. Startling successes of innovation like canals and railroads attracted large capital investments, including significant amounts from foreign investors. The transportation revolution allowed people to move with ease. Americans took advantage of new transportation to move to better areas to improve their lives. More epidemics that were localized spread. New focus was decisive in the creation of national pride and identity. Transportation improvements like the Erie Canal and the National Road linked Americans in larger communities of interest beyond the local communities in which they lived. Improved transportation made for a larger market of commercialization and industrialization.

The government also granted money to charities for schools for the first time.In 1844, the Ragged Schools Union was set up to give schooling to very poor children.The Public Schools Act (1868) reformed Britain's public schools, such as Eton and Harrow.In 1870, Forster's Act set up state-funded board schools for primary education.In 1880, the Education Act made school attendance compulsory for children up to the age of 10.The 1902 Education Act established a system of secondary schools.The Industrial Revolution : Revision, Page 5Of course, this was just the beginning of public education so…Corporal punishment was the norm and encouraged. Cruel and unusual methods of discipline included the strap, kneeling, being written up on the “punishment book” (the precursor to today’s permanent record), being made to sit in a basket hanging from the ceiling, etc.Pedagogy was rote. Lessons generally consisted of the teacher yelling things to be repeated by the class. One doctor had so many teachers complaining of sore throats he called it, ‘Board School Laryngitis’!2. Women were granted opportunities for study, however education back then was still segragated and based on enfored gender roles. Girls’ lessons included housewifery, needlework, and cookery.3. Trainee teachers began to emerge. Some did so by working in thr classroom with an older teacher, whereas others went to college. Training started at age 14, and most likely served as a prototype for the modern practicum/ pre-service teacher training done today. Of course, trainee teachers at college had a strict set of rules to abide by. One such example is this list of “don’ts” at a men’s college.

In spite of its numerous problems, it was based on the idea that education was not something that only the elite or nobility were allowed to enjoy.
