    Section

    How did the Industrial Revolution


    change the old social order and longheld traditions in the Western world?
    The Industrial Revolution brought challenges to
    the social order in the Western world.
    These challenges included demands for
    womens rights, the rise of the middle class,
    and breakthroughs in science.

    Changing Attitudes and Values

    Section

    Prior to the Industrial Revolution, there were


    only two main social classes: nobles and
    peasants. This changed in the 1800s.
    Three social
    classes emerged
    by the late 1800s.

    1. The new upper class,


    a mix of aristocrats and
    wealthy entrepreneurs
    2. The growing middle class
    and lower middle class
    3. Workers and peasants

    Changing Attitudes and Values

    Section

    The modern middle class developed its own


    tastes and values, and the role of
    women changed.

    A code of etiquette guided behavior, childrearing, and dress.

    Women had previously helped to run family


    businesses, but now men went off to work.

    A cult of domesticity emerged to encourage


    women to stay home.

    Changing Attitudes and Values

    Section

    Some women worked to change the restrictions


    placed upon them.

    They sought fairness in marriage, divorce, and property laws.

    Many womens groups also supported the temperance


    movement.

    The struggle for


    political rights,
    including womens
    suffrage, posed the
    biggest challenge.

    Elizabeth Cady Stanton


    and Sojourner Truth
    were two of the leaders
    of the movement.

    Changing Attitudes and Values

    Section

    Many governments set up public schools by the


    late 1800s.

    Industrialized societies
    needed literate workers.

    Education was different for


    boys and girls, with few
    girls receiving training in
    science or math.

    Universities expanded at this time, and reformers sought


    greater educational opportunities for women.
    Changing Attitudes and Values

    Section

    Scientists challenged long-held beliefs.


    Scientist

    Breakthrough

    John Dalton

    Showed that each element has


    its own kind of atoms.

    Charles Lyell

    Showed that the Earth had


    formed over millions of years.

    Charles Darwin

    In his book On the Origin of


    Species, explained how species
    could evolve through natural
    selection.

    Changing Attitudes and Values

    Section

    Darwins theory
    of evolution grew
    out of observations
    he made while
    traveling on the
    HMS Beagle.

    Changing Attitudes and Values

    Section

    Some people used Darwins theory of natural


    selection to support their own beliefs about society.

    Social Darwinists, for example, contended that


    industrial tycoons were more fit than those they put
    out of business.

    Some argued that victory in war or business was proof


    of superiority, a view that encouraged racism.

    Changing Attitudes and Values

    Section

    Religion continued to be a major force in


    society at this time.

    Church groups and Jewish organizations pushed


    for reforms to help the working poor, and some
    churches opened schools.

    Many religious leaders promoted the social


    gospel, which urged Christians to social service.
