Good Morning, I am _________________ the first reporter of the group 5. Our

topic is all about the Industrial Revolution which covers its background,
inventors and inventions, effects towards the world and responses of the
people.
Industrial Revolution
 By definition, Industrial Revolution (also called as economic revolution)
refers to the transformation of manufacturing brought about by the
invention and use of the machines.
 This is one of the crucial events that happened in 19th century, wherein Jose
Rizal observed the massive changes of this period particularly in the field of
economy not just in the Philippines but all over the world.
 This particularly started in England…
 Also during this era, the glory and power of Spain had waned both colonies
and in the world, if you could still remember, Filipinos were colonized
during this time.
 So, in the industrial revolution, there were two major changes in the field of
economy which are the Manual Labor to Machine work which means the
physical work done by humans was replaced by the work of machines, and
the other one was the Domestic System to Factory System, the factory
system replaced the domestic system, in which individual workers used
hand tools or simple machinery to fabricate goods in their own homes or in
workshops attached to their homes.
 Now, what are those inventions and who are those inventors during
industrial revolution. A brief discussion will be given to you by Ate Jan.

Good Morning Everyone I am ______________________.
Let me introduce to you the inventors and inventions during industrial revolution.
 First we have the Spinning and Weaving for manufacturing or mass production.
 The Spinning Jenny by James Hargreaves, a kind of spinning machine that would
draw thread from eight spindles simultaneously instead of just one, as in the
traditional spinning wheel. 
 The Water Frame by Richard Arkwright, powered by a waterwheel, which
produced stronger and greater quantities of thread than the spinning jenny did. 
 The Spinning Mule by Samuel Crompton, designed by combining features of the
spinning jenny and the water frame. His machine was capable of producing fine
as well as coarse yarn and made it possible for a single operator to work more
than 1,000 spindles simultaneously.
 Next, the steam engines.
 We have here the Steam Engine by James Watt
 The Steam Locomotive by Richard Trevithick
 Steamboats and Steamships by Robert Fulton
 These inventions led to the great expansion of national and international
transportation networks in the 19th century.
 In the early 19th century, scientists in Europe and the United States explored the
relationship between electricity and magnetism, and their research soon led to
practical applications of electromagnetic phenomena which resulted to
harnessing electricity producing the Electric Generators and Electric Motors by
Michael Faraday, Electric Railways and Tramways by Werner vorn Siemens, and
The Incandescent Lamp by Joseph Wilson Swan, and another version of Thomas
Alva Edison.
 Another, we have the telephone and telegraph which made communication
possible over great distances.
 The Electric Telegraph by Samuel Morse and the Telephone by Alexander
Graham Bell
 Lastly, the Internal-combustion engine & the Automobile which replaced the
horse and carriage in Europe and the United States, offered greater freedom of
travel for ordinary people.
… With those inventions, the world has changed and was fully industrialized. This
resulted to some positive and negative effects towards the world. Further information
will be given to you by Mr. Dave and Ms. Loren..

Let us first have the positive effects,
(Elaborate every line)
… Those are the positive effects of industrial revolution. So, if positive effects
exist, so as the negative effects, that will be discussed by Miss Loren,

LOREN
(Elaborate every line)
… With these negative effects brought by the industrial revolution, various
responses from different people were known, for further information let us hear
from Miss May Pearl.

For liberals, those democratic country, or those people with freedom, they
adopted the laissez-faire (allow to do or hands off) policy, which prevented the
government from interfering from private trade and industry, this is to
stimulate the growth of factories.
For Socialists, Government should own and manage the means of production for
the benefit of many, not just for a few. They believe that if the capitalist would
be put in control, there would be no democracy.
For Communists, those who believe in communism, which is having the absence
of social classes, money and the state, only a violent revolution could improve
the lot of workingmen. That is why they advocated… Because they believe that
there should be a common ownership of the means of production and the
absence of social classes, money and the state.
For Catholicism, as a response to the evil effects of Industrial Revolution…
This resulted to some positive and negative effects due to the inventions of
machines. Positively, there was a rise in the factory system, improvement in the
people’s standard of living, invention of labor-saving devices, urbanization of the
society, and others.
However, it also had brought a lot of pollution, environmental problems, and it even
widens the gap between the rich and the poor.
