Q

Who was Emile durkheim?

A

David Emile Durkheim was a French philosopher and scholar born on April 15th 1858. He is considered one of the main principals of sociology alongside Karl Marx, and Max Webber. Durkheim transformed our understanding of society using his theory of sociology. He traced the evolution of society from traditional to modern, emphasising the division of labour. He linked society to a living body where each system functions with each other to survive. His work focused on social order, unity and anomie (lack of social and ethical standards).

Despite personal setbacks like comments on his identity and the loss of his son, his legacy continues today

Give one example where people adapted to their surroundings to survive

A

Hong Kong

The land space there is very low but it also has a relatively high population. Hence to accommodate all of the people, instead of expanding their homes horizontally, they built upwards. That is one of the main reasons why Hong Kong has some of the biggest high-rise buildings in the world.

Lords would give some power (shelter food and protection) to the knights in exchange for military

Knights would give some power (shelter and land) to the peasants and serfs for farming and rent

The church was a separate body which also held a lot of power

49
Q

Industrialization at a global scale: Japan

A

Japan’s industrialisation started with western military men led by Mathews Perry entering the bay of Japan for a show of power and even colonisation

Before Japan’s IR, it was under the Tokugawa Shougante which meant the military was in control.

In fear or colonisation, a civil war broke out between the locals and the government where the locals asked for a change in the government. The locals eventually won and a new emperor was crowned - Emperor Mejji

He brought western ideologies and adapted to their technology. He created a centralised government and brought in changes in the fields of military, textiles, and ship building.

He also increased trade of raw materials for western tech

Made more schools to grow a working class and increased contact with the outside world

Despite facing challenges like high Tariffs and less raw materials, Japan still managed to industrialise and create a distinct economy where the businessmen worked closely with the government.

50
Q

Industrialization at a global scale: India

A

Pre colonisation, India was a strong independent country and used to own 25% of the world’s industrial output. Thanks to the Mughal Empire.

But all of this changed in mid 19th century, when the textile powerhouse became Britain due to its factories

India’s large textile output had relied on hand-loom technology, but that part of the process was now done by machines in Britain

Industrialisation in Britain caused a collapse in India’s economy as machine-woven textiles were better than hand made ones and British Industrialists made sure that textile tech didn’t reach India. As a result, the indian economy crashed. Millions of laborers lost their jobs and had to grow cotton to survive.

this made India one of the largest exporters of raw cotton rather than finished textile products and the British saw this as an opportunity to colonise India by increasing trade with them and implementing policies which hurt India but helped the british

As a result, of this colonisation, food prices rose and India was hit a series of famines during that time

This was because people wernt able to afford food and the East Indian Company focused on production of cotton rather than food

With colonisation, the British stripped India of its natural resources and did whatever they could to stop India from fully industrializing. However, they still made some advancements such as railways, telegraph but that was for their benefit rather than India’s

After independence, Indian businessmen started to incorporate Western tech into traditional Indian systems. They saw the availability of raw materials and the demand for manufactured goods. They also increased trade which in turn increased India’s trade

51
Q

What effects did the industrialization of cotton cloth production have on the Indian economy

A

yhe shift of textile production to Britain (due to IR), devastated India’s economy, leading to mass unemployment among weavers and a loss of profit as manufacturing moved abroad. Cheap imported textiles flooded Indian markets, undermining local industries and stabilitu

52
Q

Effects of de industrilisation in India

A

De-industrialization caused widespread famines, increased taxes, and rising costs of essential goods like rice, worsening economic hardships and weakening India’s independence

53
Q

What are the political explnations for India’s de industilisation

A

The decline of the Mughal Empire and the influence of European merchants led to political effects, allowing for exploitation of India’s resources by foreign powers like the British East India Company

54
Q

Why did India suffer so many famines in the 19th century

A

India’s 19th century famines were worsened by British policies prioritizing cash crops over food cultivation, leading to shortages and hunger problems amidst environmental challenges like droughts
