...Russian Military was not the only problem. Russia was still a very agricultural country relying on exporting agricultural goods like wheat to earn a capital. This was not the best method to help the Russian economy as in 1891, Witte’s predecessor, Vyshnegradsky pushed the exportation of wheat and then a bad harvest brought widespread famine. Due to the fact that Russia was exporting all the wheat abroad, they were left with no reserve stores. This unfortunately led to thousands of people to die and Vyshnegradsky to be dismissed because of this national disaster exacerbated by his own policy. Witte needed to increase capital and believed the only way to increase living standards was to industrialise and export goods other than wheat. This industrialisation needed workers. Many of the peasants worked on farms and within their mirs. Even if they wanted to travel and find a job within a factory, it was hard due to the lack of transport. Sergei Witte knew that if Russia was to enhance into a greater power, it would have to industrialise quickly. He believed the modernisation of the economy depended on an effective railway system as it would allow peasants to commute easily and work in factories, helping to industrialise Russia. He hoped by building this Trans-Siberian railway, it would encourage workers to migrate from the agricultural east to the newly industrial west as now if they wanted to come and work in industries,...

...Molly Morris 22.03.2013 ‘How successful were the Five – Year plans in transforming Russian Industry in the years up to 1941? (June 2010) There is no doubt that to some extent, Stalin’s industrialisation process was a success in industrialising Russia as not only did he make use of Russia’s resources and invested them into beneficial industries, such as the massive hydroelectric Dnieprostroi Dam built to generate electricity on the river Dnieper, he also developed heavy industries such as coal, iron, steel and oil in order to increase output, which in turn increased foreign trade and international relations and led to the result of Russia becoming one of the leading industrial powers of Europe, highlighting that the five year plans were successful in industrialising Russia. However, it could be argued that the rushed procedure and ridiculously high targets set by the USSR can also allow the argument that although Russia did industrialise at a fast pace which benefited Russia’s industry, The unrealistic targets that were set meant that managers were more concerned about the quantity of what they produced, not the quality implying that the five year plans only benefitted Russia’s industry for the short term and did not provide Russia with the long term industrialised plans it needed in order to progress suggesting the plans were not a success. Firstly, there are various factors to suggest the five years plans did successfully industrialize Russia such as Oil exceeding its...

Subsequently, these changes spread to other countries and regions in the world such as France, Belgium, the Netherlands, northern Germany, the United States and Japan, finally change the world. When considering the Industrial Revolution, it is important to keep in mind the negative consequences as well as the global changes that took place. Back in the 18th century when the revolution began the majority of people lived in the countryside; new changes came from the growth of cities alongside the growth of the industries. We have to realize that with the Industrial Revolution came many changes in the history of our humanity and will continue to influence and sweep our daily lives. For most of the 250 years during this particular “revolution” many things were drastically altered. To begin with, how we lived our day to day lives were immensely changed.

...The three most important factors in the changing structure of the American city during the Gilded Age were changes in transportation, mass production methods, and urbanization. It simply wasn’t possible for large numbers of people to live in cities before the creation of the railroad, trolley, streetcar, or other method of public transportation. It was not possible to build skyscrapers until late in the 19th century so developers were limited by how high they could build. Most cities could feasibly only be a few miles long as the main method of transportation was walking. People had to be able to walk from their home to their place of within a half hour which restricted city sizes. That changed with the creation of the railroad and subsequently smaller methods of public transportation such as the trolley. People could live further from their place of work and the rush to the suburbs stretched cities outward. The railroad was also able to transport food and raw materials into the city and then ship finished goods all over the country. The expansion of the railroad was only possible due to the increased use of mass production in American factories. The creation of interchangeable parts and the assembly line made mass production of new materials possible. The ability to create a large amount of a product more quickly and cheaply gave rise to consumerism. Mass production was used to create a number of items such as prefabricated homes or firearms. As factories grew, they took advantage...

...Modernization occurs when a society whose structure and purpose was based off of farming and agriculture is faced with a complete or radical change. This changeover takes what once was a simple farming and agricultural community and turns it into an unspiritual, metropolitan and industrialized society. The implementation of new changes and ways required for survival cause traditions to be lost. This paper will examine how modernization has manifested itself in society within the United States, if modernization is likely to continue within the United States or become a world-wide trend. Additionally, this paper will also discuss the consequences of modernization along with advice of the certain and uncertain aspects and perceptions of modernization. Modernization takes place at a gradual rate first with industrialization, then societal changes which cause urbanization and reconstruction of populations. A person often uses the word modernization to convey an image of the progression from a society that was once common to this abreast Western civilization. German sociologist Ferdinand Tönnies’ theory of Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft explains that “Industrial Revolution weakened the social fabric of family and tradition by introducing a businesslike emphasis on facts, efficiency, and money” (Macionis, 2006). The theorist that best reflects my perceptions of modernization through similarities of observations and opinions is Ferdinand Tönnies’ who according to Macionis, viewed modernization...
