As we have seen, there where many changes between 1700 and 1847, also in society and
the everyday life of people.
In pre-industrial societies people work long hours in the field and live of what they were
getting. Later, in industrial societies, lots of people moved from the countryside to the cities, in
order to work in factories. It was natural to work 10-14 hours, 6 days a week without vacations.
Pre-industrial societies
Industrial societies
Although people worked really hard and could´t even rest there were many improvements for
society in industrial societies.
Because of the technological changes, there is better healthcare and more people are born and
fewer die. The population increased a lot. Children had tu work, otherwise families were not
able to cover their expenses but when children grew up they could decide what do they
wanted to do and the rich ones usually choose to study. In terms of money, you could be rich
in many ways like having your own company because obviously it´s better to own a company
than to work in it.
