Reflection:

Chapter 15 goes over the Industrial Revolution. During this time period, technological innovation grew and was getting more advanced. Energy was being used and new sources were coming out to society for people to use such as petroleum and coal. This shows how society was becoming more and more advanced through technology and the economy. Worldwide, countries were being competitive and trying to gain power whether it was through the economy or politics. From all these goods and services companies were being able to have the opportunity to build airplanes, automobiles, and other services for society. Each country had their own specialty. India was known for having great cotton textile production and China was known worldwide as the technological innovation compared to other countries. Britain was known for being highly commercialized. Scientific Revolution helped Britain in a way that adopted technological innovation. During this time people were making railroads and trying to form a convenient society. As culture, economy, political views were advancing and were getting competitive, society started to form classes: middle class and labor class. Within these classes people started to protest and riots occurred causing conflicts between people. Countries were getting more and more competitive and the economy was advancing worldwide. This chapter shows how society was getting more complex and technological. People started to form classes. This chapter shows how society back then became to be what is today.
