Modernity is a historical time period from 1800 to the present in which social, political, and economic life undergo rapid and drastic change. –Change in economic systems, social relationships, government structures, view of the individual, view of religion, view equality, etc. These changes are shaped by a new set of beliefs and ideas that emerge out of two revolutions: –Industrial Revolution –French Revolution

7. The Industrial Revolution What is the Industrial Revolution?

8. The Industrial Revolution 1750 to 1850 Begins in England Definition: Period in which changes in agriculture, manufacturing, mining, transportation, and technology radically and permanently changed virtually every aspect of social, economic, and cultural life such that structures and values that emerged from the Industrial Revolution remain the defining structures and values of everyday life today. Term revolutionary is misleading Not a single event, but an evolutionary change that happens slowly over 100 years. “Revolution” in that the changes that occurred were dramatic, drastic, and enduring—in short, revolutionary!

9. The Industrial Revolution But what were these radical and enduring changes and what were the structures and values that they produced? Task: –You will break up into 6-8 groups. –Each group will have an image of life during the Industrial Revolution. –With your group evaluate your image and discuss what life was like along the following dimensions during the Industrial Revolution. You will have to draw inferences. (Take notes!) Economic Systems and Work Life Social Relations Government Structure / Government Policies View of the Individual/Community Religion/Reason/Rationality/Science Equality/Inequality Gender Relations Anything Else?

In light of the changes/ideals/ structures/values brought about by the Industrial Revolution, how would you describe the modern world?

19. The French Revolution What is the French Revolution?

20. The French Revolution 1789-1799 Definition: Period of radical social and political upheaval and change in France. French citizens used violence, government takeover, radical politics, terror, and war to cast off old ideas about tradition and hierarchy monarchy, aristocracy and religious authority and replace them with the principles of equality, fraternity, liberty, citizenship, and inalienable rights. Like the Industrial Revolution, the structures and values that emerged from the French Revolution remain the defining structure and values of life today.

21. The French Revolution But what were these enduring changes and what were the structures and values they produced? Task: –We will break up into 6-8 groups –Each group will read the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen Intended as a preamble to the constitution, the National Assembly issued the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen on August 26, 1789 –With your group, evaluate the document and generate a list of structures, values, and ideals emergent from the French Revolution. Our prior categories may be useful: –Economic Systems and Work Life –Social Relations –Government Structure / Government Policies –View of the Individual / Community –Religion/Reason/Rationality/Science –Equality/Inequality –Gender Relations –Anything Else?

22. The French Revolution: Discussion What changes/ideals/structures/values were brought about as a result of the French Revolution? –Economic Systems and Work Life –Social Relations –Government Structure / Government Policies –View of the Individual/Community –Religion/Reason/Rationality/Science –Equality/Inequality –Gender Relations –Anything Else? In light of the changes/ideals/structures/ values brought about by the French Revolution, how would you describe the modern world?

23. What is Modernity? Consider the changes/ideals/ structures/values brought about the Industrial Revolution and the French Revolution together: What is Modernity?

24. Modern World History The world ushered in by these two revolutions is the subject matter for our course this year. The ideals, structures, values, and beliefs brought forth by these revolutions become the dominant ideals, structures, values, and beliefs of the modern era Our project for the year is to understand how these ideals, structures, values, and beliefs have shifted and changed over the course of modern world history.

25. Where We Go From Here This unit will look at how these ideals, structures, values, and beliefs took shape during the Industrial Revolution and French Revolution. We will probe in greater depth the revolutionary changes that took place in social, economic, and political life during this time. We will “tee up” the influence they will come to have on the rest of modern world history.
