Answer:
At some point in the not-so-distant future, whites will become the racial minority in the United States. Why is that so terrifying to some of us — why must we see it as a win-lose? Black culture, tempered in the fires of slavery and Jim Crow and by myriad forms of rural and urban, Southern and Northern, discrimination, has deeply enriched our national life.

_____________________________________
The Industrial Revolution made work be more regimented and less skilled. Instead of working for yourself, at your own pace, you had to work for a boss and work when and how hard that boss told you to. This made workers feel much less independent than they once had.
As for conducting business, things also became much more impersonal and regimented. Instead of conducting one's business as boss to a few apprentices and journeymen, a factory owner would now need to manage hundereds of employees.
So, in general, the Industrial Revolution made the workplace much more impersonal and took away the independence of the workers it employed.
