It was the period in history where societies began to urbanize. The revolution first began in England for specific reasons. It had a good population of skilled workers to operate machines. There were great natural resources found in England especially iron and coal. England had a stable political government, a large market, and they were ready to build factories. The industrialization was made possible by an expanding consumer market. People were demanding more goods however; the current domestic system or the making of goods in the home was too slow. As new machines developed, the middle class had the idea of renting buildings where the manufacturing of products could be done under one roof. This allowed goods to be produced at a much faster rate and at a lower cost for consumers. As this new economy began to take shape, things began to change in society. Transportation and communication methods began to develop. New technology was discovered and implemented. Competition began to increase among competing companies and large corporations developed. There were some negative effects of this revolution. For example, the life of workers changed. Urbanization occurred as people had to move to cities to find jobs. New machines began to take people’s jobs (Reill, 4). Another major impact the Industrial Revolution had on society was the development of new economic plans. Capitalism emerged, and was designed to strengthen the individual and improve the economy without any government
