Robertson ( see the review It boggles the mind that today's feminists want so badly to undo all of what their grandmothers and great-grandmothers worked so very hard to achieve. However, the explanation is not difficult. The controlling faction of feminism during the Victorian age was conservative, pro-family feminism, while today's controlling faction is Marxist- or socialist feminism , a brand of feminism that is considered by many to be nothing other than communism in drag Just like pure and unadulterated communism has as its primary goal the planned destruction of the family How is it possible for radical feminists to achieve their sinister aims? The answer to that question is not hard to come by: indoctrination through time-proven communist propaganda tactics.

    Extractions: The industrial revolution in Rjukan This industrial revolution in such a small place brought great change and social upheaval. A new class of industrial workers emerged in Rjukan, with their own culture and ways. Many of these Norwegian workers were growing increasingly aware of political issues and formed or joined workers' unions. The Norwegian Museum of the Industrial Worker at Vemork uses exciting exhibitions to portray the history of the industrial revolution in Rjukan. You can also learn of the events in Rjukan during the Second World War, taking home with you a new world of knowledge and interesting documentation. Heavy water and the atom bomb The process of electrolysis is used on water to isolate hydrogen. In 1928, a separate hydrogen factory was built. The hydrogen was used to produce artificial fertiliser. A biproduct of this production process was heavy water, a rather common water molecule where the core of the hydrogen atom has an extra neutron. So this common water molecule has, in fact, very special qualities. The Norwegian company, Hydro, produced heavy water at Vemork from 1934. In time, both German and allied scientists discovered that heavy water could be utilised to produce an atom bomb.

    Extractions: HE truly revolutionary impact of the Information Revolution is just beginning to be felt. But it is not "information" that fuels this impact. It is not "artificial intelligence." It is not the effect of computers and data processing on decision-making, policymaking, or strategy. It is something that practically no one foresaw or, indeed, even talked about ten or fifteen years ago: e-commerce that is, the explosive emergence of the Internet as a major, perhaps eventually the major, worldwide distribution channel for goods, for services, and, surprisingly, for managerial and professional jobs. This is profoundly changing economies, markets, and industry structures; products and services and their flow; consumer segmentation, consumer values, and consumer behavior; jobs and labor markets. But the impact may be even greater on societies and politics and, above all, on the way we see the world and ourselves in it.

    Extractions: The Enlightenment sought to systematicaly categorize, organize, explore, understand everything. With the scientific method from Newton 17th Century, free-thinker sought to break religious and metaphysical dogmas of the past through examination. Diderot started the Encyclopedia, Rousseau and Kant sought to understand the human conscience and the nature of knowledge and developed social and political systems. Adam Smyth published the Wealth of Nations in 1789 and ushered in the world Laissez-Faire economics, capitalism, believing that the benefits of the individual would in turn benefit or trickle down to the rest of society, a concept held dearly by Republicans, this being called "the invisible hand".... So what other values were held dear by this large, varied, but close-knit international movement? Christianity was wrong and that science, withits dependable results and principled modesty was the way to truth (In so far as it was possible) and to happiness. They believed in the Critical Method. They also believed in Decency, humanitarianism, freedom from censorship, loosening the moral code. Others include: Knowledge, Universality, Objectivity, Reason, Logic, Science, Individualism (Law), Progress, Perfectibility of Man, Capitalism, even socialism...

    Extractions: Return to Darex home page. by Curt Anderson Why do the British and American approaches to machinery differ? A short history of machine tools explains why. No two countries were more responsible for the Industrial Revolution than America and England. In England, during the 18th and 19th centuries there was no shortage of skilled labor. Rather than replacing English workers, their machines made work more precise. Meanwhile, in sparsely populated America, the needs of a new nation required rapid and simple means of production. Machines augmented the scant work force. In England, machines served to make talented artisans better. In America, machines served to make entrepreneurs more productive. ENGLISH CONTRIBUTIONS In 1769, Englishman James Watt sparked the Industrial Revolution. His steam engine's large cylinders posed a vexing problem. They had to be precise in interior size so that steam could not leak between cylinder and piston. Another Englishman, John Wilkinson invented a precision horizontal-boring machine in 1775. Wilkinson's machine made efficient steam engines possible. The steam engine cylinder could not be manufactured until machine tools had been devised that were capable of producing accurate parts.

    Extractions: Industrial Revolution Industrial Revolution. During the 1700s and early 1800s, great changes took place in the lives and work of people in several parts of the world. These changes resulted from the development of industrialization. The term Industrial Revolution refers both to the changes that occurred and to the period itself. The Industrial Revolution created an enormous increase in the production of many kinds of goods. Some of this increase in production resulted from the introduction of power-driven machinery and the development of factory organization. Before the revolution, manufacturing was done by hand or simple machines. Most people worked at home in rural areas. A few worked in shops in towns as part of associations called guilds. The Industrial Revolution eventually took manufacturing out of the home and workshop. Power-driven machines replaced handwork, and factories developed as the best way of bringing together the machines and the workers to operate them. As the Industrial Revolution grew, private investors and financial institutions were needed to provide money for the further expansion of industrialization. Financiers and banks thus became as important as industrialists and factories in the growth of the revolution. For the first time in European history, wealthy business leaders called capitalists took over the control and organization of manufacturing.

    Extractions: (Table of Contents) In this new industrial revolution, no single country has taken the leading role, the way England did in the first industrial revolution. The United States, while inventing much of the technology of this revolution, has often fallen behind in the decisive area of production. Production has become international. The car you purchased last month in Pittsburgh may well have been financed in Japan, designed in Detroit, manufactured in ten countries as far apart as Malaysia and Germany and assembled in Mexico. Goods, capital, information and services, even whole factories, whisk around the globe at breathtaking speed, in a market increasingly dominated by vast multinational enterprises, international financial institutions and speculators. Today multinational corporations, the driving force of globalization, employ some 10% of American manufacturing workers. US- owned multinationals overseas employ legions of foreign workers. These corporations are increasingly free to locate wherever they wish. This new industrial revolution is also transforming the shop floor. Assisted by robots, computers and high-speed telecommunications, teams of well-trained workers adapt versatile machinery to rapidly changing product specifications. Similar transformations are increasingly evident in the commercial and service sectors. The most important aspect of this process is not new technology, but the new social relations that develop in the workplace. Rote, physical labor is being replied by labor which is more mental, flexible and cooperative. The 21st Century worker will not need physical strength and "factory discipline" as much as the capacity for analysis, judgment and cooperation. In effect, the new workers are becoming managers in a much more sophisticated production system.

    Extractions: The Industrial Revolution was a time of dramatic change, from hand tools and handmade items, to products which were msass produced by mawhjfhk;lasjgvk;jlsavj;h;sav;savchines. Workers became more productive, and since more items were manufactured, prices dropped, making exclusive and hard to make items available to the poor and not only the rich and elite. Life generally improved, but the industrial revolution also proved harmful. Pollution increased, working conditions were harmful, and capitalists employed women and young children, making them work long and hard hours. The industrial revolution was a time for change. For the better, or for the worse. This web page is dedicated to the industrial revolution, the changes that occurred and how it effected modern life. This web page demonstrates the transition from hand tools to machines, and shows the pros and cons of the revolution.

93. Children In The Industrial Revolution

    Extractions: SLUM children in Manchester's Angel Fields district ... they seem gaunt and haggard before their time "THE spinning-room overseer had the task of maintaining production. He did it by instilling fear and inflicting pain - children were beaten simply to keep them awake towards the end of their 14 or 15-hour day." THERE is no more shameful stain on British history than the sickening treatment of the nation's poor worker-children during the Industrial Revolution. Entire generations of youngsters lost their precious childhood as they were sacrificed to the Moloch of the Mills - suffering and often dying because of the indifference of Government, the greed of mill-owners, the sadistic cruelty of factory overseers and the acquiesence of parents. The long quotation later in this section, by a mill worker turned journalist and novelist, encapsulates the horror of it all. He was writing nearly a century after some of the worst excesses. We, another century down the line, in an age which practically deifies children,find it almost impossible to comprehend such a cynical conspiracy against that section of society least able to defend itself.
