Europe has buildings and structures that are hundreds or thousands of years old.

In the United States, it is likely rare to have a building last more than 100 years. Even a mere 30 years is often considered past its prime, for a building today.

It's a wonder we even have ANY historical structures left in the US with the "throw-away" society that we have become. If the US owned things like the Roman coliseum or the leaning Tower of Pisa, they'd be swiftly torn down and replaced with a parking lot, office building, or a Wal-Mart.

Would greatly appreciate it. Please help if you can! The question is: Taking into consideration the theories of thinkers like Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart Mill, and Karl Marx and reformers like Robert Owen, imagine a scenario that would have allowed Britain to industrialize in a more humane fashion than happened.
