3 Things I learned
-That the Industrial Revolution started in Great Britain because of their abundance of resources.
-I also learned a lot about urbanization and the unsanitary environments in the cities due to the rush of people, lack of housing, and lack of knowledge of cleanliness.
-Although I knew a few things about child labor, chapter 9 really clarified how hard of a life children had in the Industrial Revolution.  The things they thought were normal we think as absurd to make a child do.

2 things I found interesting.
-I honestly found the agricultural advances interesting, for example the seed drill and the process of crop rotation and how it was the beginning of the industrial revolution in many ways.
-I also found it interesting that although the railroad was a part of the Industrial Revolution, it didn't have as big of a role that i thought it did.  Or at least the book didn't pay as much attention to it as i thought it would.

1 Question I still have
-My only question is just curiosity, based on how the employers first took to the strikes and protests of their workers and unionization.

Communism

Communism is government control of everything that goes on in a country.  A form of socialism that gets rid of private ownership.  In some places communism is necessary to keep a country under control.  The countries that currently have communist governments are: China, Cuba, North Korea, and Vietnam.

Reform: Unionization

Summary: Unionization is the process of workers forming voluntary associations.  They used collective bargaining between the workers and the employers for higher pay and better conditions but when that didn't work the workers went on strike, forcing the employers to make an agreement or have no workers.
    In my opinion, Unionization is a good thing it helps workers get the rights they need and the environment they need in their atmosphere at work.  They needed to get more sanitary environments and also higher pay for their hard work.  I think it was good in this time period because big business owners wanted to cut corners with paying for necessary things but the unions forced them to do what is needed in order to have healthy happy workers.

Connection across time- Current invention.

Tony Fadell invented the Ipod Nano in 2001, an ipod is a device that you can use to listen to music on by downloading music on itunes on the computer.  It has become a huge sensation with new updates coming out a lot, many people have ipods and few people don't know what an ipod is. It changed the world by upgrading portable music, you don't need to have it plugged in, it isn't as big as a cd player, and you can access everything through a computer which further increases computer use in the world.

Third Invention

Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin to speed up the process of removing the seeds from raw cotten, which was normally a long and hard process.  But this invention sped the production up from 1.5million pounds in 1790 to 85 million pounds in 1810.

Second Invention.

-John Kay invented a flying shuttle made of wood that sped back and forth on wheels which the yarn attached to.  This invention did twice the work a weaver could do in one day.   John Kay's invention spurred the inventions of a new and improved spinning wheel thanks to the help of James Hargreaves, Richard Arkwright, and Samuel Crompton.

Inventions of the Industrial Revolution.

There were many inventions during the Industrial Revolution, they are what made it so aggressive and fast growing. 
-One of the inventions on the farm was the seed drill invented by Jethro Tull in 1701,which controlled the depth and spacing of planting seeds which saved farmers money and time because they didn't lose as many seeds, becoming a production more than just a family farm.
