1. Aim: Keeping the Industrial era in perspective, why did reform movements arise? Title: Living and Working Conditions Do Now: We have been covering the Industrial Revolution for just about a week now; I need for students to write down how the Industrial Revolution affected people. Describe/analyze all the possible ways; the good and bad.

2. People moved to the cities; women and children worked for lower wages than men; many people lived in tenements, worked long hours and six- day work weeks in factories, and were given no compensation if they were injured. Quietly please - Carefully read/review the handout pertaining to the subject matter at hand.

3. Today’s Focus: Will examine how these conditions brought about reform as people tried to improve their lives throughout the Industrial era.

4. OBJECTIVE 1 Analyzing the work/philosophy of five key economists/philosophers: Adam Smith, Thomas Malthus, David Ricardo, Jeremy Bentham, or John Stuart Mill. - Please complete the handout.

5. OBJECTIVE 2 1.Based on your analysis of this section, what motivated humanitarians to try to reform the workplace? 2.Living in the 21 st century I want students to suggest their own ideas for reform of specific current working &/or living conditions, or are today’s working/living conditions just great/perfect the way they are? What do you think?

6. Novels/newspaper articles that revealed the terrible conditions in factories and mills; church ministers, philosophers and economists sympathetic to the poverty-stricken laborers.

7. The Labor Movement

8. Changing Employee-Employer Relationships  Domestic system Workers and employers knew each other personally Workers could aspire to become employers  Factory system Workers no longer owned the means of production (machinery) Employers no longer knew workers personally ○ Factories often run by managers paid by the corporation Relationships between employers and employees grew strained

9. Problems of the Factory System Factories were crowded, dark, and dirty Workers toiled from dawn to dusk Young children worked with dangerous machinery Employment of women and children put men out of work – Women and children were paid less for the same work Technological unemployment – workers lost their jobs as their labor was replaced by machines

10. Poor Living Conditions Factories driven solely by profit – Businesses largely immune to problems of workers Factory (also company or mill) towns – Towns built by employers around factories to house workers – Workers charged higher prices than normal for rent, groceries, etc. Workers often became indebted to their employers Created a type of forced servitude as workers had to stay on at their jobs to pay their debts – Considered paternalistic by workers Some employers had workers’ interests at heart But workers wanted to control their own lives

11. Slum Living Conditions Factory towns – often built and owned by factories – Not a strange concept to rural-to-urban migrants who were used to living on a lord’s estate or property – Full of crowded tenements – Few amenities Tenements – buildings with rented multiple dwellings – Apartment buildings with a more negative connotation – Overcrowded and unsanitary Workers were unsatisfied both inside and outside the factories
