<u>A technology that increased the productivity in the production (and also distribution processes) was usage of steam power.</u>

Steam power started to be applied to production activities in the UK during the industrial revolution, and made it possible to conduct mining activities, operate mills or to provide energy to a whole factory, decreasing production times and costs (for example, less physical strenght was needed and hence a smaller number of employees need to be hired for a certain task).

The usage of steam power contributed to the generalization of production processes organized in chain and to the development of better and more advanced engines. Steam engines were subsequently applied to boats, railways, farms and road vehicles.

The normative relationships and patterns of interaction that guide group behavior in particular settings is known as Social Structure .

<h2>What is social structure ?</h2>

Social structure is the patterned social arrangements in society that are both emergent from and determined of the actions of individuals.

Studies of social structure try to explain things like trends in inequality and integration. Sociologists examine institutions, social categories (like age groups) or rates (like crime or birth rates) in the study of these phenomena.

This method, often known as formal sociology, does not make a direct reference to personal choices or social interactions. Because the analysis is too abstract at this level, social structure research is not regarded as a behavioral science.

I believe the answer is:<span>usually well-adjusted and not unhappy about their social lives.

Neglected children refers to the children that do not receive enough attention from their parents.

Contrary to popular believe (which most likely come from hollywood/other fition), neglected children are usually well-adjusted since the most likely reason for the negligence is due to the parents having to work.

Most of the children would often understand their parents' situation and even mimic their parents hard working behavior.</span>
