    Chapter 23 Vocab & Questions: Industrial Revolution

    9. Factory Act of 1833- limited the factory workday for children between the ages of nine and thirteen to eight hours and for adolescents between fourteen and eighteen to twelve hours. This act made no effort to regulate the hours of work for children at home or in small businesses. The law prohibited employment under the age of nine and was instead sent to elementary schools that factory owners were required to establish.…

    Manchester Dbq Analysis

    The newly industrialized Manchester forced employers to overwork and expose their workers to harmful and disgusting environments. In document 7, the words of the socialist and women’s rights advocate, Flora Tristan, show that working conditions in factories were disgusting and terrible. The document states that people must endure immensely long hours in rooms with low ceilings, laboring away, all day long. She also tells us about the particles that workers would often inhale while working for hours in the factories. Tristan says that “the welfare of the workers never entered the builder’s head”. In the excerpt from William Alexander Abram’s journal, document 10, Abram tells how one can see differences of conditions within factories in Manchester. The document tells how successful reforms that were passed and the improvements that were made by them. However, this document is not as reliable as the others because it was written well after most of the other documents had already been written, and by the time this document was written, several reforms had hopefully already taken place. It also only mentions one reform; the Hours of Labor in Factories Act of 1844, which itself was not a heavy reform, only reducing the amount of working hours to ten per day. Document 5, Journeys to England and Ireland, the author believes what is being created by the new industrial society is pure…

    Women in India have suffered greatly for the past centuries, as they face significant contravention of human rights. The struggle for rights is disconcerting for Indian women. Although despite all the struggle, women in India are starting to take steps to become valued members of society. The state government has been encouraging women to start their own corporations and businesses. Men have accepted women working, but most are still holding on to the stereotypical jobs that women should…

    Working Conditions Of Workers In Factories Dbq

    In factories the working conditions of workers were not good. Workers would have cut off limbs ad even worst they could be killed if they were not careful when working. Also the workers would have long hours with little to no breaks and if they were to lack on their job they would be punished. As stated in the excerpt, Okaya Japan (1900), workers would have thirteen to fourteen hour days with fifteen minute breaks for breakfast and lunch and then only two more ten minute breaks, (Doc 5). If a worker has an average working day of thirteen to fourteen days with little breaks it makes their life and working conditions stressful and harsh. It would be hard for the workers to do this as they would become tired and then would lack on work. As a result of lacking they would be punished. The female workers in England were treated almost the same way in the hours they worked and other conditions in the workplace. As reported by the primary source Hannah Goode’s to the Factory Inquiry Commission, (England, 1833) it tells how workers would work from five in the morning till seven at night with breaks only to eat their dinner meal, (Doc 10). The English female workers from the document shows how they would work about thirteen to fourteen hour days and with only one break the young female will most likely not be able to function properly and as a…

    How Did Women's Rights Change In The 19th Century

    Although women didn't normally work the rapid growth of factories opened up many jobs and being there not enough men to fill the jobs women started to fill in. “Opportunities for leisure activities increased dramatically as real wages continued to grow and hours of work continued to decline. In urban areas, the nine-hour workday became increasingly the norm; the 1874 Factory Act limited the workweek to 56.5 hours, encouraging the movement toward an eventual eight-hour workday ( Cunningham…

    The Family Medical Leave Act During The Early 1900s

    But, there were no laws enacted which specifically target protection of women in the workforce. In fact, labor was cheap and management exploitive. Laborers were being forced to work long hours without additional compensation. This time saw significant strides in women's rights. Women were striving for suffrage and equal recognition under the law. It was accomplished through petitions, going through the courts, rallies, public debates, and picketing. Although effective, working conditions for women were not equivalent to those of men. It was not until the creation of labor unions and the eventual inclusion of women into these unions that there is advancement in the working conditions for…

    Women's Roles In Ww2

    The roles of women in the workforce have changed over the last one hundred years. When World War l broke out in 1914, large numbers of women filled factories and many other jobs that were held by men. During the early 1940s, when the United States was in World War ll, women again filled in at factories producing heavy machinery, welding, and repairing engines. However, when the war was over, men took back their jobs. If a woman wished to keep her job, she would be offered less pay than a man would (Kindree, Airth). Eventually, they got tired of being paid less for doing a job that men did for a higher salary; therefore, women began going on strike (“HerStoria” 535). It was not until 1938 when minimum wage was set for both male and females.…

    Molex

    According to GAAP, information is material "If its omission or misstatement could influence the economic decision of users taken on the basis of the financial statements." Based on this definition and the following ratios, we believe Molex did in fact misstate the Balance Sheet and Income Statements for the period ending in June of 2004. In September, prior to making these errors public information, Molex released its yearly financials indicating it earned $175,950,000 in Net Income [Exhibit 2]. This numeric includes the overstatement to income of $5,800,000, after tax value, representing roughly 3.3% of the Net Income. The case describes how inventory is overvalued by $8 million, which would decrease Inventory in June of 2004 from $265,344 million to $257,244 million. This is a substantial 3.15% over representation of the companies inventory. By recognizing profits on inventory sales between subsidiaries, Molex is effectively sending bad data to investors who depend on accurate information. Comparing the gross margins from one period to the previous period produces the gross margin index. When the GMI is greater than 1 the company's gross margins have deteriorated and management is motivated to show better numbers. Like the SGI, the GMI sounds a potential note of caution for material misstatement. Molex’s GMI was calculated by comparing 2003 and 2004 financial highlights in Exhibit 2, which roughly equaled .9 indicating potential earnings manipulation.…
