- Mechanization

Mechanization is when you replace a human or animal labor with a machine to help do the work. In those days we use a lot of machines to help us with factories, farms and even transportation. For example in factories we don't do all the work of making the same product by our hands, instead we have big machines that makes everything the same and a lot faster than us. In farms we stopped having 50 people in one area trying to grow and use cows to make gaps in between the sand to grow, we have now trucks and big machines to help us. Also in transportation we don't use horses or our feet to a certain destination anymore, we use cars, planes, boats and trains, it is a lot faster and easier for us.

-Units per man hour

Units per man hour is the amount of work a man does in one hour. Like in factories men have a certain amount of products that they do in an hour that's always the same amount in an hour. A unit of work equal to the output of one man working for one hour. In factories labor is an example of how many products they have to do in a certain timing so they get paid.

-Agricultural Revolution

A slow transformation traditional agricultural system that began in Britain in the 18th century and ended in the 19th century. A reallocation of land ownership to make farms more compact and an increased investment in technical improvements, such as new machinery, better drainage, scientific methods of breeding, and experimentation with new crops and systems of crop rotation. The agricultural revolution was an essential prelude to the Industrial Revolution.

- Factory work

Factory work began in the industrial revolution. Because of this they started having more innovative products that they produced from factories. It was hard to work in those factories and they used more often children for labor. It was tiring for them but they were forced sometimes. For example there is factory work a lot in India were they use children as well just like in Britain in the 1900s.

- City slum Dwelling

City slum dwelling is when a poor person that has to work in a factory goes and lives in the city. Where he has no money or maybe a little money to live there. It is overcrowded and has a lot of diseases as people don't care of their environment. In India they get children to live in the city to work for the factories they sometimes lie to them about that the kids are going to get a good shelter, food and even money. We still have these problems in some countries were people actually work in factories for most of the day and dont even get much rest. They live in bad areas where if they get ill or something happens to them the factories throw them off somewhere else.

- Rural to Urban Migration

Rural to Urban is when someone changes from living in a farm life to migrating in a city environment. It has to do to with the industrial revolution because people migrated to the city to live a better life than to just stay in farms and not get much money. People started to move to cities because it would be easier for them to just work in factories and this caused factories to increase and people come more. An example would be a family moving to live in the city so they can all be together and work in factories.

-Pull Factors of the Industrial Cities

Cities have all resources that factories need so its better for them to be there.Urban populations furnished consumers for the products manufactured by these factories. The two movements of urban growth and industrialization fed each other. Many people were attracted to the industrial cities because of this, for exp. unskilled workers were especially drawn to the industrial cities. This fueled migration waves to the industrial cities. Urban development created opportunities for immigration. Immigration favored the urban/industrial development in the cities.

-Push Factors of the Agricultural Revolution

The push factors of the Agricultural Revolution were for the Industrial Revolution to take place, because if there weren't any push factors, the Industrial Revolution wouldn't have had happened. Some of the push factors of the Agricultural Revolution were that heavy labor was required to develop agriculture. However, to work in factories during the Industrial Revolution required little skill so people with not so much skills went there to get skills. This was one of the push factors of the Agricultural Revolution.
