Question

in your own words, define revoution. why do we call the industrial age a revolution

Answer 1

A revolution in this case is an event of massive change. The industrial revolution is correctly named because of the sweeping changes to society it created and is still creating. Before the industrial age, farming was essentially the same for all of human history. There were minor improvements like the metal plow and such but one person could never till more soil than a pair of oxen could pull a plow through in a day. Along comes the Industrial Age and the tractor, now one man on a tractor can plow the land that dozens of men and oxen would in a day. That is just one example of thousands that altered the way we live our lives thanks to the Industrial Revolution. Like many revolutions, it displaced people who had done the same thing for generations. It created opportunities for those who could evolve with it and left behind those who couldn't.

Revolution is a challenge to the status quo that changes the process of how things are done, and thought.

The industrial revolution was the reaction to the way the current processes of manufacturing had been accomplished, which was the introduction of machinery production lines. This revolution brought us away from the process where we first finish a task then go to the next to a side by side process and completion.

The Age of Preservation. Bush was able to preserve the freedoms of democratic societies by standing up to terrorists and thugs. He was able to put America back in front as the single world power that whether others like us or not, they have to respect us. What's more is that he exemplified the American ideal of giving freedom to the people throughout the world. And just curious, why wouldn't you as the same question of Clinton? His administration could be described as the Immoral Revolution or the Age of the Backstabbing.
