Student: Yen Hoang Keuka College How and Why Industrialization, Population and Urbanization are related: Social Relations, Social Control and Law? Industrialization, Population Growth and Urbanization are in dynamic relationship with each other that also has been contributing to change various aspects of Social Relations, Social Control and Law. America is taken as the typical example illustrating this topic because this country is one of the pioneers starting up those processes and witnessing their pros and cons in spectacular aspects. First of all, industrialization is the transformation from an agricultural an industrial society, in which the new technology as well as mechanization of industry is dominant. It first took place in Britain from the middle of the 18th to the early 19th century and presented a prototype for industrial revolution spreading throughout Western Europe and North America afterwards. The greatest significance of this process is that it replaced manual labor by machinery as well as mechanical production took the place of manual production. Furthermore, the industrialization was made possible by the great, incredible and numerous inventions, such as steam engine technology, electric power, cotton gin, elevators, telegraph code, telephone, railroads, steel mills, refrigerator, washing machines...

...phenomenon of urbanization in expanded scale and in prominent pervasiveness, Nigeria is generally perceived as a newly-emerged modern state, which is characterized by rapid industrialization and extensive urbanization (Jiboye,2011).In particular, the term “State” is defined as the politically organized people of a particular land(Antai& Moradi, 2010). When it comes to the cohesion and stability of modernized state, it refers to the condition of a system which is the condition of Nigeria as a whole. In this essay, the threats on the cohesion and stability of Nigeria induced by industrialization and urbanization are assessed in threefold: health threats, criminal threat and threat regarding food insecurity. The aforementioned threats to be analyzed are intertwined with the concept of urbanization and industrialization and the repercussions of food insecurity and the physical health threat in urbanized cities are interrelated with the criminal threat, which could be accounted by mental illness(Antai& Moradi, 2010). With this introductory overview, the essay proceeds to outline the modern situation of urbanization and industrialization in Nigeria with definitions conceptualized. The following part is an evaluation of the health threats comprised of two section, in which the overcrowding issue is explored and illustrative case study focusing on health surveillance in Niger Delta is examined. The next part dwells on the positive correlation between crime rate and urbanization. In the final...

What was the impact of those turning points on today’s American culture? This essay will give us a tour through two major turn points in America. The first being the “Turning point of the civil war” and the second being the “Turning point of Industrialization and Urbanization”. In the “Turning point of the civil war” we will peer into several possible outcomes of the “Reconstruction Period had Abraham Lincoln survived”. In the “Turning point of Industrialization and urbanization we will also investigate “Industrializations effect on the average working American” and touch on “How state courts served to discriminate against non-white citizens and immigrants”. Finally we will conclude with “The New America”. My view on how the events of the past shaped America into the wonderful nation I am so proud of today. Turning Point of the Civil War America could not be the honored country that it is today had it not been for the turning point of the civil war. In the mid-1800s the Northern and Southern states were divided on many differences. A major difference that lingered after the signing of the Constitution was slavery. You have the Northern statesmen who firmly oppose slavery and the Southern statesmen...

...called South-North Water Division project designed to move water from southern to northern China to help with the scarcity problem. China's doing everything they can to stop this water crisis. There are three main causes of China’s water scarcity crisis: Global Warming, Population Growth/Urbanization, and Industrialization. Of these, the biggest driver is Industrialization. One reason for China’s water shortage is Global Warming. For example, “The glaciers seasonal melting keeps the rivers flowing during the dry season, but as the glaciers retreat by more and more every year, there will be less water during the dry season” (Brooks, Document A). Another example is, “This warming has not only caused glacial, retreat but also the drying up of numerous lakes that feed the region's rivers” (Brooks, Document A). This problem helps explain China’s water shortage because Global Warming is the reason glaciers are shrinking each year and that is bad because glaciers provide water for the lakes (when the glaciers melt) and when the glaciers shrink, there will be less water for China’s people, especially in the dry season. A second cause for China’s water scarcity is Population Growth/Urbanization. For example, “It is also a rapidly urbanizing and increasingly wealthy population with rising incomes embracing a “lifestyle” that is dramatically increasing the consumption of more meat and alcohol- both of which are water intensive to produce” (Navarro, Document B). Also, Beginning from...

...Sam Sepassi World History 102 Essay 10/01/2015 The Industrial revolution Industrialization refers to the development of machine production of goods and new energy resources. The Western World went from rural and agricultural to urban industrial. Hard Times suggests that nineteenth-century England’s overzealous adoption of industrialization threatens to turn human beings into machines by thwarting the development of their emotions and imaginations. This suggestion comes forth largely through the actions of Gradgrind and his follower, Bounderby: as the former educates the young children of his family and his school in the ways of fact, the latter treats the workers in his factory as emotionless objects that are easily exploited for his own self-interest. Industrialization had many positive and negative effects on the citizens of Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries. Industrialization had many positive effects on society in Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries. The creation of power machines and factories provided many new job opportunities. The new machinery increased production speed of good and gave people the ability to transport raw materials. Industrialization also lead to urbanization. Urbanization is the movement of people into cities and city building. Citizens wanted to live closer to the factories that they worked at. Despite its many positive effects effects, industrialization had a negative impact on Europe too. Urban areas doubled, tripled, or quadrupled in...

...Economic Opportunities Paper Leslee Reaves August 5, 2012 HIS/120CA Zachery Lenz Introduction Industrialization, urbanization, and immigration played a huge role in society during the nineteenth century. The major businesses were the railroad system. The railroads helped in the transportation of iron, steel, and oil. The production of the railroads, iron, steel, and oil helped in the economy by producing jobs for Americans and immigrants. Economy Economy in the United States was booming during this period. Especially, in the business of iron, steel, and oil. Many immigrants came into the United States in search of economic opportunity and social equality. Wages were relatively cheap opposed to American standards; although they were still high in comparison to other nation’s income. I would inform them that the industrial growth also profited from new forms of corporate organization capable of amassing much larger amounts of capital than in the past and, eventually, of managing much vaster enterprises than earlier industrial leaders could have done. Industrialization & Urbanization Industrialization changed the physical landscape of the nation. Industrialization also changed America’s relationship with the rest of the world due to the mass production of iron, steel, and oil. It has drawn attention from the United States more and more into the global trade and finance and into search for overseas markets and foreign suppliers of needed materials. Many factors contributed...

...Introduction Industrialization increased tremendously during the 18th and 19th century leading to the success growth of United States as far as overall wealth during the rise to power on its wake. This paper focuses on the different aspects of industrialization that occurred and the various groups that were affected during this period of time, and overall what the effect of industrialization did for America. Three Aspects of the Industrial Revolution Referred to commonly as the second Industrial Revolution, three major aspects during this time immensely played apart towards the shaping of our country as we know it and they were our society, the economy and our politics. Society was largely a big part of the industrialization period and underwent the most significant changes. Large amounts of rural to urban migration occurred due employment because of the creation of organizations and companies. The infrastructure and building of railway lines for transportation of raw materials to distinctive states was happening as well during this time. Significant use of iron and steel created several opportunities for industrialization versus agricultural hence making the United States more of an industrialized nation and less agricultural. Our economy at the time played a major role at this time, and was the second aspect of industrialization. During this time rapid growth in society was experienced with the expansion of companies and the improvement of their internal progression....

...1.1 How and why the American society industrialized in the late 19th century Industrialization is a period characterized by social and economic changes that result in transition of an agrarian society towards an industrialized one. It involves changing the ways and methods of manufacturing. In the late 19th century, the various factors that contributed to the industrialization of America as discussed below. Use of advanced methods of production which included the use of machines in manufacturing enabled mass production of commodities. The large manufacturing firms offered employment to her population. Division of labor that resulted meant increased production. America is endowed with a rich and varied natural resource base. The water supply helped generate power for running industrial machines while the large forest resource provided timber. Coal was used in the railway transport to provide energy. By 1850 America had already laid 14500 km of rail on her soil and by the 1900 it had reached 320000km making the distribution of goods become faster with low cost of production as a result .Communication also improved with railways taking over from stagecoach in mail delivery. Alexander Graham Bell discovered the telephone in 1876 further making communication more efficient. During the period of industrialization, the population...

...Davis, Mike. Planet of Slums. London & New York: Verso, 2007. Print. In Planet of Slums, Mike Davis evaluates the rapid increase in slums in third world countries around the world. Increasing urbanization has triggered inequality and disparity between people as slums expanded outward their urban roots. Urbanization usually encroach the suburbs, leading to breakdown in rural traditions; suburban residents are forced towards non-traditional employment and way of living. Simultaneously, rapid urbanization did not lead to parallel industrialization development. The author does not believe that these issues of slums and perpetual poverty can be ameliorated through traditional financial aid by NGOs such as IMF or the World Bank; this crisis is unavoidable in the contemporary social, economic and political framework. Even though Davis makes compelling arguments using statistics and cases in many countries, his assertion is over-pessimistic on capitalism and is often too narrow-minded. In the first few chapters, the author begins with various statistics such as graphs and population comparisons in historical context from reliable sources around the world that assert the significant impact of urban migration. The author categorizes people living in slums into Metro Core and Periphery; the population influx from the core into the periphery leads to pollution, illegal activities and other negative influences. By chapter three, Davis started to assess the root origin of the...

Impacts of deforestation 2.1. Deforestation contributes to global warming 2.2. Deforestation loses biodiversity 2.3. Deforestation impacts soil negatively 2. Causes of deforestation 1.1. Population growth is an indirect reason of deforestation 1.2. Deforestation is rooted by urbanization and industrialization 1.3. Agriculture leads to deforestation 3. Solutions Conclusion References | 111233345567 | Deforestation: A threat against our planet Introduction Forests play an important role in our lives. Not only do they maintain biodiversity, for example providing food and shelters for animals and plants, but they also provide important sources such as food, woods, and herb medicines for human beings. They, moreover, help control climate and prevent soil from erosion. Forests, however, are under threat by deforestation – an act of clearing trees to exploit resources like woods, minerals, medicines and to create land for agricultural activities or space for building facilities, for instance houses, roads, etc. Deforestation is a pressing problem, and it is killing our planet because of many reasons. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impacts...

...Urbanization refers to the process by which the proportion of a countries population living in cities increases an also to the related economic, social and political changes. A city is usually defined as having more than 10, 00 inhabitants; mega cities have more than 10 million inhabitants. Urbanization occurs as a result of migration but also of smaller settlements growing so that they are reclassified as cities. The growth of cities in developing countries will be much faster than that of developed countries. Rural populations are expected to remain stable overall, though with some variation between regions of the world. Personally I believe that urbanization is not a necessary and desirable aspect of development due to the fact that it results in the opposite effect being ‘crowded cities with slum conditions’, the exact opposite result of what the developing country aimed to achieve and this not being a necessary step towards the process of development. Modernization theorists, looking back to the model of the Western development, see the growth of cities as an essential part of economic growth. Cities provide a labour force concentrated in one place for factories and businesses. They are also important in promoting cultural change, because they remove people from the countryside, where traditional ways are strongest, and through exposing them to Western values, cultural change should occur. Modernization theorists would therefore expect that urbanization would be an essential...

...that has come with time, have forced memories to be lost and most importantly identities. Didion highlights the true nature of Californian lifestyle and how with its gradual disappearance more than the past is being lost, but a new generation is also losing an understanding of its true roots, its true history and as a result a loss of knowledge. The loss of knowledge is equivalent to the loss of identity because if one doesn’t know where they came from how one can truly know who they are. Didion talks about her own experiences as a child in Sacramento and adulthood. She compares how much Sacramento has changed since she left. For example, in her essay Didion observes the changes in Sacramento beginning with the introduction of industrialization; she mentions that prior to modernization, Sacramento was nothing but an isolated land mass and with the discovery of gold Sacramento abruptly developed into a town and later on a city. Didion...

...The Adverse Effects of Rapid Urbanization In Asia In the past few decades Asia has been experiencing rapid urbanization. Rapid urbanization can be defined as the rapid and massive growth of, and migration to large cities. The growth of the existing cities and formation of new ones in Asia can be directly accredited to the high rate of economic growth and industrialization. The increases in foreign direct investment in Asia are mainly responsible for the rapid industrialization of the area. FDI creates jobs and jobs attract people. Although economic growth is always a positive for any country, it can have some very adverse effects. Rapid urbanization creates many problems for the population of the developing nations in the area. The high rate of population growth in these cities limits the time for proper planning. This causes many adverse effects on their populations and various environmental issues. The cities in East and Southeast Asia are growing such fast paces that they can not sustain a supply of affordable housing for their faster growing population. The lack of affordable housing forces people to settle for illegal housing as shelter. The slum population in many of these cities is above 15%. The most extreme example of this is Mumbai (Formerly known as Bombay). It is the most heavily populated in India. 50% of the population of Mumbai is living in slums. Bangkok has a 22% concentration of it population in slums. Singapore is one of cities in Asia with the lowest...
