Abstract
This twelve-page undergraduate paper is a discussion of some of the main social and political developments that took place in Korea over the late Choson period. Every one of the changes was marked by a pattern of reform versus opposition. In part, this is explained by the opposite movements, the first towards enlightenment and the second towards tradition.
From the Paper
"At the beginning of the late Choson dynasty, power was concentrated in royal families so that the peasants became victims of corruption and oppression. The social and political developments during that period very often amounted to real revolutions. The peasants fought against unfair conditions and abuse, and their goals were reform, justice, and most especially equality. These peasants formed armies, and the most striking example was the Tonghak peasant army. The leaders during period were also trying to bring about reforms. Both the peasants and the leaders had to deal with a conflict of ideas."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in Bettina Bradbury's research, between 1861 and 1891, mainly French-Canadian women are found living and working in a harsh way, which demanded general resourcefulness to maintain their families' survivals. The author points out that, in contrast, Joy Parr's study of Ontario's industrial towns after 1880 reveals women's closer connections to the waged labor economy. The paper stresses that Bradbury's depiction of working class women in Montreal is convincing and speaks to Canadian women in terms beyond economics or feminism. The author found that, despite much theory referring to positions of gender as somehow unitary, there are dangers in presuming the realities of working class women in the later 19th century. The paper concludes that this literature helps interpret a contemporary Canadian society, which still tends to disadvantage women.

From the Paper
"Few widows received pension incomes for their husbands had often not had pensions in the forms of employment available to them. A predictable aspect of law so disadvantageous to women was the woman to turn to prostitution for survival or those running brothels or taverns. Joy Parr's work refers to Paris, Ontario and the demand for mainly British factory hands, often women, who were already skilled contributors to factory life before emigration. The idea of women working beyond the home as losing their reputations prevailed in much attention to 'protecting' women in Paris Ontario, as in the Penmans company's payment of quite low wages but also providing recreational and health care services."

Abstract
This paper examines the so-called evolution of the concept of "juvenile delinquency" in late Victorian England. The object of the paper is to show that the notion of youth crime was considerably altered during this period--and has served as an exemplar of present-day systems.
From the Paper
"The notion that juvenile delinquency in particular and crimes committed by child and adolescents in general were separate from crimes committed by adults is considered a recent construct. In fact it was not until the first half of the the 19th century in England that such a notion first came about. A corollary to this was the idea that these types of crimes and criminals should be treated differently from hardened adult criminals..."

From the Paper
"The years following the Civil War ushered in the modern era of cities. It was during the half century between the Civil War and World War I that the move from the country to the city took place. In 1860, less than a quarter of the American population lived in a city or town; by 1890 the figure had reached a third; by 1910, nearly half.
The urbanization of late 19th century America took place at a staggering pace. Chicago, for example, doubled its population every decade but one between 1850 and 1890, growing from 30,000 to over a million in little more than a generation. Los Angeles jumped from less than 5,000 in 1860 to more than 100,000 in 1900, and Denver from nothing at all to 134,000, while Memphis with 23,000 in the earlier year exceeded 100,000 in the latter. In the nation as a whole, the proportion of people living in towns ... "

Abstract
This paper describes the era of industrialization when Russia began a period of sustained economic growth that many historians have interpreted as the product of a successful policy. The paper makes a case for other reasons, such as Russia?s dramatic population increase combined with a small economic base, as well as increases in capital stock. The paper also proves that the relationship between policy and output is overstated.
From the Paper
"Russia?s weakness and the significance of its failure to industrialize were exposed to the world during the Crimean War (1854-1856) and became the catalyst for a period of economic changes that accelerated towards the end of the 19th century. While Russia remained poor in relation to its European neighbors, significant economic progress was made between approximately 1880 and 1900. Though many of the reforms and policies instituted by the Russian government were designed to foster industrialization, the objectives of these policies were primarily political. Through a focus on domestic policy, the government hoped to modernize the army and raise the Tsar?s international prestige and influence, both of which continued to be reduced by events since the Crimean War. The political impetus behind industrialization and Russia?s unique circumstances (autocracy, its size, chronic fiscal deficits, etc.) shaped the process in unique ways. Industrialization came much later, was generally more uneven and led to less political reform than in other European countries. Russia?s goal was to retake its ?rightful? place among Europe?s Great Powers, not necessarily lift its citizenry out of the quagmire of poverty."

From the Paper
"The late nineteenth century was a time of drastic change in the United States. The country was growing at an unprecedented rate, and the Industrial Revolution was sweeping the nation. This industrial revolution not only affected those working in the newly founded industries and those in the cities, but the revolution impacted the farmers as well. American farmers were, as a whole, dissatisfied with their state of affairs, and began an agrarian movement. The farmers' grievances were multifaceted, and generally had merit, though allegations of an organized conspiracy to thwart the farmers were unfounded. Further, the discontent of the farmers was displayed in the formation of an organized political movement, which never before existed to such a degree. "

From the Paper
"This study will examine the Populist Movement in the United States in the late 19th century. The study will include consideration of the origins and rise of the movement (also officially known as the Peoples' Party) as well as its eventual demise.
As we read in Buck, "The Peoples' or Populist party . . . seems to have been the heir (of the Independent parties of the Granger period and the Greenback party]. The origin of the Populist party is to be found in the St. Louis platform adopted by the Farmers' Alliance and the Knights of Labor in 1889" (Buck, 1933, p. 309).
Clearly, then, as a movement before the formation of the party and as an official party, the Populist movement was rooted in the desire for reform. The members of the Populist movement were driven by a sense that the two major political parties were..."

"During the period following the Civil War in 1865 and before the "closing of the frontier" described by historian Frederick Jackson Turner at the turn-of-the-century, the United States of America experienced a burst of expansive growth almost unparalleled in history (Degler, 1970, p. 237). Within this brief window of time - a generation's average lifespan for the period, in fact - the fledgling nation which was only to celebrate its first centennial in 1876 was transformed from a largely agrarian society into an industrialized, multi-ethnic entity which no longer fit the standard categorizations established by its original western European models. It is within that context that the American labor movement as we recognize it today was born.
There had been organized labor unions prior to the Civil..."

" Marketing Practices in the late Nineteenth Century
Introduction
The development of marketing thought as a theory began early in the twentieth century (Bartels, 1976, p. 9). Before that, market and trade behaviors were explained from a macroeconomic viewpoint (Bartels, 1970, p. 32) that characterized man as a social individual and an economic entity (Bartels, 1976, p. 13). Although such theories did discuss buyer behavior in the market, they did not offer a theory from the standpoint of the market or consumer until the contention that consumption is the end and object of production became the basis for marketing writers' taking a more "consumer" viewpoint (Bartels, 1976, p. 13).
Advertising Practices Leading up to the Late Nineteenth Century
The seventeenth century marked the development of the.."

"he Gilded Age was the name given to the period around 1870 when considerable cynicism set in about politics and other aspects of society. Mark Twain used the term as the title for a book, an attack on the materialism, speculation, and corruption seen in the era after the Civil War (Howard 200). In literary terms, the period as marked by a growing sense of realism. The beginnings of Naturalism as a literary movement came in the 1890s and extended realism with a new emphasis. The realists had insisted on detailing the world in a realistic fashion and to do so by creating reality: "Art's task was not to record but to make life; reality was a constructed, not a recorded, thing" (Bradbury 8). Naturalism took a different view in its origins, and now the task of the novelist was to undertake a scientific study by recording facts, living conditions, and behavior:"

From the Paper
"This essay will be an analysis of the development of two schools of liberal or liberal/democratic tradition that evolved during the mid-19th to late 20th centuries. Relevant theories and concepts from such influential thinkers as John Mill, Jeremy Bentham, Jean-Paul Sartre and Karl Mannheim will be discussed. Works of literature will be used in the conclusion in order to express why tolerance is so essential to the liberal tradition.
The core values of the liberal tradition are as follows: 1) the protection of individual rights against the demands of others and the state; 2) laissez-faire; 3) property requirements for voting and holding office. Regardless of the expanding definition of liberalism that would occur during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries (i.e., suffrage and concern over the welfare of the laboring poor), the underlying concern of all those..."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine the issue of rape in Great Britain in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The plan of the research will be to set forth the social and cultural context in which the issue achieves significance and then to discuss patterns of activity within the culture that appear to show an evolution of consciousness and priorities in the understanding of the phenomenon.
The conceptualization of rape in Britain in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries appears to have been very much a social construction that dominated the whole of Western society, whether in England and the Empire, on the continent, or in the U.S. Thus however rape might have been perceived or experienced at the personal level, the principal social fact about the phenomenon was that it was subsidiary to more widely held views of social ..."

Abstract
Many historians have celebrated the positive side effects of rapid industrialization, citing such favorable consequences as medicinal advancements, housing advancements, steam engines, electrical engines, gas powered engines, automobiles and planes. This paper shows, however, that what lay in the shadows of industrialization was a story of heart wrenching poverty, 16-hour workdays, physical beatings, starvation, unsafe and unhealthy factories, child labor, increased mortality rates, disease and low wages. Few realize the hardships that new urban families had to endure in order to survive. The paper argues that while political leaders and the wealthy upper class drenched themselves in the profits of industrialization, the lower class was forced to carry out the backbreaking work that paid so little.

From the Paper
"Families had little choice but to place their children in the factories, the family required the income to make ends meet. Realizing the growing problem of child labor during the Industrial Revolution, Britain's Michael Sadler headed a parliamentary investigation in 1832 which showed similar results to the plight in American factories. The investigation found that children were woken as early as four in the morning by their parents, and were at work by five a.m., at which time they would work until they received a 40-minute break at noontime. After this break the child was expected to work until dusk, usually seven or eight p.m., at which point they were allowed to go home."
