    Iron, Steam and Rails

    Intro: Over the past few centuries, some of the biggest technological advancements have been made in societies throughout the world. In the past century alone we have seen advancements made in medicine that can save, extend and enhance the lives of vast numbers of people; and we have seen advancements in digital technologies that have increased the performance, reliability and availability of many of the electronic technologies that we now take for granted. However, to truly understand and appreciate the technological advancements that have been made over recent years, we must look back at some of the discoveries and improvements to technology that literally shaped and defined not only our country, but modern society as a whole. While the technological advancements of the past 100 years have undoubtedly proven crucial to our modern lives, without the monumental discoveries of the 18th and 19th century, we may not have had the opportunities to generate those advancements. In particular, the progress and development of iron and eventually steel, steam power and it’s multitude of uses, and the railway systems has truly defined the technological advancements of recent centuries.…

    Gilded Age Inventions

    The 3 most important inventions from the Gilded Age are the telephone, the lightbulb, and the skyscraper. The telephone, created by Alexander Graham Bell in 1875, had the ability to connect two people from a given distance together. Evolving from the human messenger and telegraph, the telephone improved upon those by ameliorating its speed and comprehensibility. As a result of this creation, people, today, can connect to each other from anywhere in the world, thus uniting those could never have otherwise met. The practical light bulb brought electrical lighting to the average American home. Although there were lightbulbs before his time, they were not effective. For example, before Thomas Edison revolutionized the common bulb, light bulbs were,…

    gilded age

    Living conditions during the gilded age were not healthy. Many people lived in tenements. Life in the tenements was trashy, and the space between each tenement was about one foot. They also did not have any type of plumbing, so all the waste would wash down to the street. Also many people would live in one small tenement. Between 1812 and 1840 the American political landscape underwent significant changes. The most important of these changes was the rise of the formal political party and the struggles for and against this perilous structure. Political parties began to grow, as they grew. Political machines in the late 1800s were corrupt in many different ways. One of the ways was influencing votes through so-called charitable acts. Another way was that they would protect certain criminals in return for monetary support. Some products during this age were unsafe products was the toxic fumes factory workers would inhale. Also the working the task factories would have children do, such as crawl under dangerous machines where adults could not fit. These task would case injury or even death. Discrimination…

    Gilded Age

    The phrase "America's Gilded Age" typically brings to mind the financial exploits and dazzling wealth of the "robber barons": Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, Morgan, Carnegie, and others. The fortunes they made have left us with lasting monuments that, in most of our minds, exemplify the era: mansions in Newport, treasure-filled libraries and museums in Manhattan. The truth however, shows a side that was anything but glamorous, and maybe that’s why no one spoke of the horrid circumstances. The Gilded Age, as Mark Twain coined it, was a society built of “a thin layer of gold over a cheap base.”…

    Gilded Age Workers

    Across the united States, there was a rise of big business and corporations during the period of time between the American Civil War and World War I, or the Gilded Age. The growth of labor and corporations continuously changed the balance between economic and political power within the government, as well as within corporations. This change in the economy was accompanied by a conflict between the employers and the employees. The employers would not give their workers the rights that they had deserved. This led to the creation of labor organizations which is an organization of people who work in the same skilled occupation who act together in strikes and protests to achieve better pay, shorter hours, and safer worker conditions. The unfair and…

    Dark Ages

    The Dark Ages was a time when Europe went through plagues, many prosecutions and had been overcome by many wars with hardly any peace interrupting it. With all the negative aspects in the dark ages there were some positive things happening beneath it all. After the Roman Empire fell, that is when darkness took over. Alaric, a Visigoth warrior conquered Rome and used many of the war fairs he learned to take them to use for his own benefit, a “profit making” career for him. The Visigoths were in desperation for control, they relied on starvation and they surrounded the area of Rome and took control of all shipments to the city and supply. All these factors lead to the horrible disparity of Rome. With no longer having an emperor of Rome, everything declined within the area and worsen. The continent was greatly fragmented politically and therefore monks and missionaries that lead the people of the Dark Age to look upon their new emperor Jesus Christ, which established a new type of unity. Soon many Rulers, such as Clovis, converted to Christianity hoping to unite their territory and this lead to Christianity now being a common threat to other territories. Life had become very difficult for the common citizen through these dark ages that Christianity gave them peace, hope and serenity. Over all the madness, a Benedictine monk, Bead, who wrote a five-volume history of England beginning from Julius Caesar, had preserved many historical events, especially many events with Christianity and including scripture. Throughout the Dark Age, many negative situations had taken the best of Europe as a whole but the spread of Christianity had continued to help give hope and faith to the people.…

    Dark Ages

    The period after the fall of the Roman Empire has gone by many names. It has been called “The Dark Ages,” “The Age of Feudalism,” “The Age of Faith,” and a Golden Age. The Middle Ages began around the time that the Roman Empire fell. The Roman Empire had been declining over time due to Military, Political, Economic, and Social issues. The fall of the Roman Empire brought many changes to Western Europe. Society regressed and forgot the achievements and discoveries that were made in the past. However, it was not completely dark. The Catholic Church rose to power during this period. Also, some cultural achievements were still made. This period is still widely referred to by Historians as “The Dark Ages,” and not for incorrect reasons. Another name that is rightfully used to describe this period is “The Age of Feudalism” as Feudalism became the structure of society.…

    Dark Ages

    I would consider the Middle Ages a fairly dark time in the history of the world, most evidently in the case of Europe. There were however differences across civilizations over the world including China. Many have called the era during the Tang and Song dynasties a golden age, one of prosperity and innovation. While life in Europe was often very glum, especially for serfs, Chinese inhabitants were fairly well off by all indications. The emergence of Buddhism and the continuance of many Confusionist ideas led to a decidedly happy environment for most. Even women enjoyed a slightly higher social standing. It may have been a Dark Age for some, but certainly not for all.…
