Topic 3: Manchester: The First Industrial City
===One of the longest-lasting and most significant impacts of the industrial revolution that took place from the end of the eighteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century was the mass migration of people from rural areas to cities in a process that has come to be characterized as "urbanization". Urbanization had a profound effect on the daily lives of individuals who found themselves forced into the position of having to adjust from self-sustaining life on farms to life in bigger cities.===

Topic 4: Reforms
==="Deep in dangerous mine tunnels or amid the deafening roar of machines and the foul, polluted air of factories, millions of children labored alongside adults. The brutal treatment of children was just one of the abuses of the early Industrial Revolutoin. By and large, factory owners had little sympathy for workers. They had invested their entire capital in risky undertakings, and they wanted to make sure their businesses succeeded. As industrialization continued, however, calls for reform grew."=== ~World History, Patterns of Civilization
