The Industrial Revolution refers to the social and economic changes that occurred when machines and factories, rather than human labor, became the dominant mode for the production of goods. Industrialization occurred in the United States during the early and mid-1800s and represents one of the most profound influences on the family. Before industrialization, families functioned as an economic
unit that produced goods and services for its own consumption. Parents and children worked together in or near the home to meet the survival needs of the family. As the United States became industrialized, more men and women left the home to sell their labor for wages. The family was no longer a self-sufficient unit that determined its work hours. Rather, employers determined where and when family members would work. Whereas children in preindustrialized America worked on farms and contributed to the economic survival of the family, children in industrialized America became economic liabilities rather than assets. Child labor laws and mandatory education removed children from the labor force and lengthened their dependence on parental support. Eventually, both parents had to work away from the home to support their children. The dual-income family had begun. During the Industrial Revolution, urbanization occurred as cities were built around factories and families moved to the city to work in the factories. Living space in cities was crowded and expensive, which contributed to a decline in the birthrate and to smaller families. The development of transportation systems during the Industrial Revolution made it possible for family members to travel to work sites away from the home and to move away from extended kin. With increased mobility, many extended families became separated into smaller nuclear family units consisting of parents and their children. As a result of parents' leaving the home to earn wages and the absence of extended kin in or near the family household, children had less adult supervision and moral guidance. Unsupervised children roamed the streets, increasing the potential for crime and delinquency. Which of the following conditions brought about the 2-income family? a. child labor laws b. lack of education c. decline in the birth rate d. families becoming self-sufficient

Which of the following writers is most likely to produce quality writing?
a. Ali looks at the grade on his papers, but does not revise or edit them. He avoids writing except when he has to for his classes, and then he usually writes the paper the evening before it is due. b. Zoey starts on a paper as soon as it is assigned and follows a process of writing over several days. She looks over past papers, so she can avoid making the same mistakes. She enjoys putting her own individual take on the topics to make them more interesting for her readers. When not writing for her classes, Zoey keeps a journal, writing a little every day. c. Gary takes his time to do exactly what the assignment asks for and is always careful to meet the minimum page requirement on an assignment. He doesn't really understand how prewriting and outlining will help him write better papers, so he usually starts with a draft and adds to it until it's long enough. He goes to the writing center for advice on editing. d. Alexis does her best work when she's interested in the topic, but if she doesn't care for it, she does what is necessary to get the paper done and turned in on time. She has trouble with grammar and punctuation, so she lets her mother, who is a retired teacher, edit all of her papers. Once she writes a draft, she doesn't like to make a lot of changes, trying to get everything just right the first time.
