I. Original Posting. (15 points) Post a brief (approx. 250 word) message addressing one of the following questions. You will send it the same way you sent your DA 1.1 assignment. by clicking on the "reply" below. Be sure to use information and examples from the textbook:

1. They Keep Having Babies. Briefly summarize Malthus' theory of population growth, and explain how it is related to industrialization. How does the Malthus excerpt reveal a context of industrialization? Are there clues in his writing that show he is writing about an industrializing country (Britain)? Does the process of industrialization prove his theory right, or does it challenge his predictions?

 

  If your book does not hare Malthus as a "Sources from the Past" in it, this is your #1:

   1. It's Not Just Economics. The effects of industrialization went far beyond production levels and the kind of work people performed. Describe some of the       everyday social changes that resulted from industrialization in the nineteenth century, for example gender relations, living conditions, family life, daily schedules, ctc.

 

OR

 

   2. Workers Are Revolting. Briefly summarize Marx's prediction about the future of capitalism, and explain how it is related to industrialization. How does the excerpt from Marx show the effects of industrialization? How does Marx explain earlier events such as the French Revolution (sece Chapter 28 )? (Hint it has to do with one class taking over from another.)
