How did the rise of industry and "big business" reshape the focus of american society in regards to consumerism and labor?

History

Natalija [7]3 years ago
3 0
Thanks to the big business development and advertising achievement the American society focused on consumerism a lot more. Advertising started creating need for things that weren't really all that necessary but people started buying them more and more. Since the US was a manufacturing powerhouse after World War 2, they made more and more and exported it but still they made a lot so it had to be sold and everyone started buying everything. The value system became somewhat of a hoarding one with you being better positioned in a society based on how many things you have.

When it comes to labor, the mass manufacturing led to longer work hours and to new developments. People in unions started fighting for their rights like higher paychecks or better working conditions. Manufacturing was often dangerous because the factories were not as safe, so new legislature had to be implemented so as to keep the workers satisfied.

The use of machines had what impact on production of goods? A revolution of production had begun. More goods could be produced i
Montano1993 [528]

Although (A revolution) is correct, it DOES NOT fit for the question that is asked because they want to know what impact machines had on PRODUCING goods.

More goods could be produced in a short amount of time (would be the best answer because it directly answers the question on how machines impact the production of goods...machines make it possible to create more goods/products in a shorter amount of time than could be made by hand).

People wanted machines in their home DOES NOT answer the question and is completely irrelevant. It is an opinion rather than an answer to the question. It makes no sense, so you can cross that one off.

Machines made working by hand highly profitable. Also DOES NOT answer the question. If anything, the use of machines weeded out the production of products by hand. For example: Why wait two weeks for a shoe maker to make your shoes when you could go to a store that has a pair of shoes already in stock on the shelf that were just delivered from the factory, where a machine made them in less than a day. This all involves supply and demand. The demand for that pair of shoes is high. People what them now, not in two weeks. So again that is not a good answer.
