And here's your shmoop du jour brought to you by angles, Friedrich was a

00:09

cute one, hey look at that face.. Now look at this passage.... [Freidrich pushes a chalkboard away]

00:14

[Mumbling]

00:18

[Mumbling]

00:23

okay and here's our question supporters of the passage

00:26

above would believe that which of the following was a direct result of

00:29

European industrialization and here are your potential answers all right....

00:34

Well for the record European industrialization is [A factory building]

00:38

just like plain ol industrialization just you know with a fancy mustache

00:43

00:47

of all the fancy shmancy factories and machines and stuff did they think that

00:52

it would lead to B? A decline in the overall population well seeing as

00:56

industrialization actually brought forth labor reforms and workers rights

00:59

the conditions for the working class improved and the overall population [Object hits worker on the head]

01:03

stabilized so this wouldn't make much sense at all and since we're talking

01:07

about Marxists, not surrealist some sense would definitely be helpful here that

01:12

eliminates B. Would they have believed that a result of industrialization

01:16

excuse us European industrialization was C - a decrease in urbanization while

01:23

since industrialization means that machines can finally stop directly [Machines running at a factory]

01:27

relying on water power factories moved to the city in search of cheaper labor

01:31

so urbanization was actually a natural result of industrialization meaning it

01:37

increased population in the big city, big time. So C's got to go as well what a

01:41

Marxist believe that one consequence of industrialization was D the emergence of

01:45

women's suffrage well unfortunately women's rights weren't a natural result [Woman asking a man if she can vote]

01:50

of industrialization whatsoever as women weren't allowed jobs that didn't fall

01:54

under the categories of menial and without any hope of advancement which

01:59

are okay categories if you're like an alpaca but not so much of your a human [Job openings on a board and alpaca appears]

02:03

sorry alpacas no disrespect meant.... that means that supporters of the

02:09

passage would believe that a direct result of European industrialization was

02:13

A - the birth of new socio-economic classes so you can thank the industrial

02:17

revolution for that classic Thanksgiving question what do you want to be when you [Guys having thanksgiving dinner]

02:21

grow up well prior to the revolution you were born a laborer or an aristocrat and

02:26

you would die one after the revolution a wealth of possibilities opened up

merchants, doctors, lawyers, teachers and many years later professional reality TV star [Doctors, merchants, lawyers and TV stars appear]

02:36

oh brave new world that has such Kardashians in it all those became

02:41

possible well these new urban professions brought forth a variety of

02:44

new socio-economic classes in between commoner and aristocrats so A is the [Man stands between commoner and aristocrat]
