Chapter 18: Revolutions of Industrialization

This chapter covers the formation of industrialization, the pros and cons that it has on the working class and middle classes. It goes around the globe explaining how each continent helped create this system of innovations of technology, transportation, and other sources of helping trade being accessible. Ideals of the human nature and behavior was also being discussed among the laboring classes. Marx discussed the human past as a class struggle. He believes that the social classes were seen as a way to oppress the oppressed. As a human race we have always be capable of doing this to one another, whether it be in class or race, we judge one another, we are never good enough for each other. As a human race we have grown together in order to enhance the world that we live in through technology, gaining independence and economic reasoning. After countries gained their independence from Britain, Britain still had an hold on various nations. It was the center of industrialization, everything started at the center of the world, Great Britain. Great Britain, Europe in general, is still an advanced country along with the United States and China. There tends to be a battle for who is going to be able to last on top, everyone assumed that United States would be the one to stay a float, but even though we are the most independent and "rich" country, there are issues that are occurring faster than we can find answers for.
