Powerpoint presentation about Industry or Modern Society

2. INDUSTRIAL/MODERN
SOCIETY
In this type of societies, there is a
dramatically increase in the
production surplus.
Advanced technologies are created.
There was an abundance of capital, and
a surge of entrepreneurial spirit.

3. Unlike agrarian societies, industrial
societies depend less on labor. It is
not as labor intensive as the previous
societies since machines are now
utilized to facilitate production.

10. Other concerns of the industrial
societies were the individual, the
urban environment or the city,
social workers and the other types
of formal organization.

11. During this stage of development
of society, heavy machineries
became part of production.
Factories and cities began dotting
the landscape.

12. The industrial revolution started in the
Britain between 1750 and 1850.
Like all other countries, Britain was
previously an agricultural country.
Industrial revolution is centered merely
on the production of cottons, but later
on was adopted with other products. By
1850, the economy became based on
the industry and factory production.

13. Technology made the
industrialization faster and
production better. Advances
in the transportation made
exchange of goods easier.

14. There is also the trend of
specialization. Before the community
has to produce everything that is
needed, but due to industrialization,
people started doing specific works
wherein the surplus is traded to
other people. Work then is reduced
to stages to increase efficiency.

15. Industrialization is also
associated with the idea of
capitalism. Capitalism
champions the idea of free
trade or unrestricted exchange
of good based on supply and
demand.

16. Industrialization, as earlier
mentioned, brings with the reality
of surplus, and with surplus it
requires the opening of new
markets and new resources of
materials or natural resources for
production.

17. There is then a closely connected
relationship of industrialization with
colonialism, since more good
produced means that often the
existing markets cannot absorb or
consume the supply.

18. As a result, there is the need to
open new markets, to expand
overseas so that these extra
products could be consumed.
Hence, the expansion of
industrialization also meant that
Western powers made colonies in
the different continents.

19. During the 19th century, industrial cities
were described as filthy and very
crowded. These sinister effects of
industrialization were condemned by
Karl Marx as the exploitation of the
rich and businessmen of the poor
laborers and the marginalized.

20. DISADVANTAGES

21. The industrial societies due to its
insatiable demand for higher
production have harmed the
world’s resources. The push for
industrialization was to
consume more resources,
without realizing that the
Earth’s resources are in fact
limited.

22. The shift to industrialization
meant also that reliance of
people for work became less.
Many workers were displaces
as a result of the introduction
of newer technologies and
machineries. Craftsmen who
used to weave and spin cloth
by hand either lost their job or
became poorer in the process.

23. Women and children also
became exploited and
suffered terribly with the
inhumane conditions of
the workplace and low
wages.

24. Farming lost its steam as
urban migration intensified,
people from the urban or
agricultural areas preferred
working in the city than in
the farm.

25. Due to this migration, from the
agrarian communities to cities,
it destroyed informal
mechanisms of social control
(i.e. tsismis/gossip) which is
effective in a closely knit
community, but which is
ineffective in the city where
anonymity is the rule.
