3. Do you think the Industrial Revolution was good or bad, and why?
3. Do you think the Industrial Revolution was good or bad, and why?
:The [[Industrial Revolution]] was good, with some bad effects. Modern life would be impossible without the industrial technology that the Revolution spearheaded and developed. Also, [[capitalism]] suggests that such progress is inevitable. Unless [[government]] suppresses progress, it will happen. The bad effects of the Revolution were the poor working conditions in the factories, [[pollution]] caused by factories, and the low quality of living in [[factory]] towns and slums. But with these unfortunate effects eventually came affordable clothing and food, increased sanitation, and a new production network that enabled modern manufacturing and communications to flourish within a century. (Addison)
:There is a bit of both in the Industrial Revolution, but on the whole, I think it was a good thing. It allowed for much of the technology and lifestyles that we are able to lead today. People cannot blame the Industrial Revolution for the stressful lifestyle that today proposes. It's their choice to go out and make it stressful. The Industrial revolution was not wholly responsible for the stress that many people feel today. (Anna)

7. Pick any aspect of [[Asian]] history in the 1800s and describe and discuss it.
7. Pick any aspect of [[Asian]] history in the 1800s and describe and discuss it.
:I find it interesting that [[Japan]], which is geographically tiny compared to [[Russia]] and [[China]] was able to defeat both of them in quick succession (Russia in the 1900s, not 1800s). It's surprising that Japan could even have a large enough military to prevent being completely overrun by hordes of Chinese and Russians. Japan's battles with these two nations reminds of the 300 Spartans who held back the Persian army of hundreds of thousands. (Addison)
