Many countries in the world have gone through industrialization, but not every nation is willing to. A lot of times, a nation is forced into industrialization by another well developed country. This involuntary Industrialization can benefit countries in many ways such as acquiring a better healthcare for the people living there, but often times it has a negative impact on the lives of the natives. Many times the inhabitants have to go through events like famine or rebellion before they finally accept what the developed citizens have brought to them and realize that they need to make technological advancements. Moreover, countless times, industrialization is just an excuse to take important resources from the abundant land. In the novel Nectar …show more content…
They do not understand that what the natives are doing or their reasoning has been beneficial to their survival and a part of their culture for innumerable number of years, but instead the colonizers consider the inhabitants ludicrous for not understanding or doing things in a way similar to themselves. In the novel, when Kenny is telling Rukmani about his family and how his wife left him, and after he criticizes Rukmani for having limited views on the subject, Rukmani says “Limited, yes…yet not wholly without understanding. Our ways are not your ways”(Markandaya 106). Rukmani has to remind Kenny that their thinking is not alike. Even though her tone in this sentence is not very direct, it is clear that she does not like being demeaned by Kenny. By saying the phrase ‘not wholly without understanding’, she obliquely points out to Kenny that for decades, the beliefs held by the Indians have been reliable. She shows the readers that the cultural differences in even meager situations such as this are ridiculed by the British. It might not be as evident to people how serious this can be when the situation is two people having a conversation. A more extreme example of this can be seen in a passage from the novel Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. …show more content…
In the novel, as Rukmani and Kenny are talking about how their cultural ways are different, Rukmani says “If you [live] here your whole life [this] still would not be [your country]”(Markandaya 107). Even though Kenny helps Rukmani and her daughter countless times throughout the novel, the tone that she uses in this sentence shows us that she never thinks of Kenny as one of them. Rukmani’s use of the phrase ‘your whole life’ emphasizes the point that she is trying to make which is that no matter how long you stay here and how much you help us, this will never be your country and you will never be one of us. Nectar in a sieve is not the only example of this kind of behaviour between a developed and undeveloped country. In the political cartoon ‘White Man’s Burden’ by Victor Gillam in Judge Magazine, there are 2 men carrying baskets of people on their backs to civilization and they are surrounded by rocks with various words on them. Through closer inspection, It is clear that one of the 2 men is a British man carrying a basket with a Zulu, a Chinese, an Egyptian, and an Indian man, and the rocks around them have the words “vice, brutality, slavery, cannibalism [and] cruelty” carved into them (Judge Magazine). Through further analysis, it

Then the negative effects of Industrialization are exploitation of workers, overpopulation in urban cities and environmental damages. The American Industrialization was a major time
The Industrial Revolution, lasting from the late 1700s until the early 1900s, was possibly one of the greatest time periods in this world’s history. This time period caused people to think more and dream bigger. From these big dreams rose up inventors, entrepreneurs, and business owners. The Industrial Revolution brought many new inventions and production processes, but along with great new things come great terrible horrors. While some might argue that Industrialization had primarily positive consequences for society because of the new production methods and what they produced, it was actually a negative thing for society.
They do not have any idea what’s out there. What little they do know is there not as much game, water or trees. Which to them are very important to them and there live. They need water to drink game to eat and wood to make their homes with. (“Memorial to the Cherokee Nation Response”)
Clearly, the community where she lives has adapted a prejudice lifestyle, the people she associates with are afraid of change. The culture she’s at evolves with Ethnocentrism - It means not realizing the challenge when it influences
Millions of years ago, the Earth was divided into two the Old and New Worlds. This lasted for quite some time, so long that different evolutions began. For example, on one side of the Atlantic rattlesnakes developed, but on the other, vipers grew. The Columbian Exchange was the exchange of non-native plants, animals, and diseases brought to the Americas from Europe and vice versa. This all happened after 1492.
during his terms as president he pushed the executive powers to newer limits, stating that the increase of industrial capitalism had rendered limited government obsolete. Moreover, he took on the captains of industry and argued for greater government control over the economy, pursuing a two-pronged strategy of antitrust prosecutions and regulatory control.
In a time after the Civil War, when a transcontinental railroad was created connecting the East and West, people began to move and settle across the country, creating new urban cities and manufacturing hubs. It was because of the railroad that the Second Industrial Revolution and the Gilded Age took place which rapidly increased the manufacturing of products through the new machines in factories and the spread of ideas by the telegraph and railroad. It was in this context that many farmers, as well, began to move West and experience a loss in the prices of their crops. It is also in this context that many workers were forced to work long, laborious hours with little pay. Farmers responded to industrialization in the Gilded Age by forming organizations such as the Granger movement and the Farmers Alliance as well as creating the Populist Party.
Without a doubt, industrialization was one of the biggest factors in how the United States developed. It gave us the means of mass production, better transportation, and eventually the consumerist society that the United States is today. Industrialization did drastically change American society, but did it change America for the better? Did it do more good than bad? While industrialization did lead to multiple social and economic problems, the advantages significantly outweigh the disadvantages.
The nectar itself is a major aspect of the story as a whole, since it is what causes the confusion and the outcome of the marriages in the comedy. The second person to have the magical nectar used on them is Lysander, unfortunately for him when he wakes up, he is no longer in love with the woman he planned on running away with, but Helena whom he had no feelings towards at the start of the play. Helena in fact has spent the entire duration of the play, in love with Demetrius, whom is also in love with Hermia, Lysander’s betrothed. The nectar causes the chaos throughout the play, since in a later scene, it
Nevertheless, the Industrialization marked a shift to powered, special-purpose machinery, factories and mass production where it led to an increase in population, living standards, but a depletion of natural
This further expands on the meaning by showing the contrast of how little the Congolese care for others’ appearances when compared to the American view. The Congolese shared their view on appearances near the beginning of the novel when describing Mama Mwanza and Mama Nguza. The Americans think Orleanna became tainted while she was in the Congo. Even though Orleanna used to live in Bethlehem, the other residents of the town don’t view her the same way as they did before she went to the Congo. Adah even commented on their reception: “...welcome home the pitiful Prices!
Introduction The Sapphires illustrates the ways in which the stolen generation continues to have repercussions against the indigenous community. The stolen generation was a period of time where children were violently snatched from their families and forced into houses and institutions that lied, abused, and humiliated them. When the children were taken away, relationships were ripped to shreds as the children lost their sense of belonging alongside their beliefs. This loss in connection left unresolved conflicts and impaired relationships that by the time they reunited years later, the resentment towards each other had built and the argument was brutal enough for the relationship to become inrepairable.
Paragraph 1: Industrialization really took of in the United States during the late 1800s and the early 1900s. Before then, America 's population had mostly lived out in the farms and ranches of the country, but that was about to change when more and more people started to move to the cities for work. Most of the people that moved, found themselves in factory jobs for the steel industry or alike, or working for the railroads. Companies could really thrive, as the United States government, adopted a policy of Laissez Faire. This is also about the time that immigration really kicked up, more and more immigrants were showing at Ellis Island, looking for a new start.
