Chapter 17 - Industrial Revolution
(vocab.) Internal combustion engine: engine in case to burn: gas, etc
To make energy => replacement of humans

Industrial Revolution is one of the third most important development in human history. The difference was: the organization of production/work, % human work : machine work, people figured how to burn things to make energy as a result to make production more efficient. In class we used 2 examples for a better understanding of how the Industrial Revolution works: Jerry and Jim.

On one hand, Jerry also known as the father of Jim is a craftsman/artisan living in his small house with his family. He has to take care of his two kids, an extended family and has animals that stay in the house for food storage. He takes pride in his work, he is dedicated to his art, determines where, when, how to work, harvest the trees (unity in work). In addition, after making and selling the tables, he has the opportunity to see his artwork being used by people he knows and sells too. If Jerry is searching to recruit, it will possibly, most likely be a family member.

On the other hand, Jim also known as the son of Jerry lives a complete different lifestyle even though they may be making the same item. Jim works in a factory located in the city but in order for him to get right on time at work, he must live in the city far way from his family all alone. At work, he builds and only given one task which is to take care of only one piece of the whole item. Now we also have to think about the cons at his work place; not quiet, lots of people, no window = no good air quality, ventilation and isolating.
