Mass Society and Modernization Chapter 20 - Introduction

Mass Society and Modernization The Second Industrial Revolution resulted in changes in political, economic and social systems. After 1870, higher wages and improved conditions in cities raised the standard of living for urban workers. The late 19 th and Early 20 th Centuries were a time of political conflict in Europe that eventually set the stage for WWI. New discoveries radically changed scientific thought, art, architecture, and social consciousness during this era. Workers Unions were organized to fight for improvements in working conditions. Many inventions of this era are still in use: Telephones, Automobiles, Electricity, Sewer Systems, etc.

Socialist Theory Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels – The Communist Manifesto – (1848) – the authors argued that all revolutions in the past were “a history of class struggles.” ▫ The Oppressors – the Bourgeoisie – owned the means of production (land, raw materials, money, factories, etc.) ▫ The Oppressed - the Proletariat – the working class citizens ▫ The struggle between these two classes would eventually lead to a Proletariat Revolution and produce a classless society. ▫ Most socialist political parties used Marx’s Communist Manifesto as the basis for their platform.

Revisionists – sought to change government through the democratic process, the right to vote. Russia – 1917 - V. I. Lenin and the Bolshevik Revolution applied the most notable use of Marx’s ideas.
