History of the Modern World
Description
Need to provide 4 to 5 sentences answering each of the following questions. (According to the readings attached)
1) Moore and Patel write that “There persists a powerful tendency to understand the modern world of work as somehow independent of the countryside, but all work has owed and continues to owe its existence to those countrysides.” (p. 103) You can return to pages 101 to 107 if you need a reminder of what they mean in this sentence. Based on this idea of Moore and Patel, elaborate how your or your parents work is connected to the countryside, in other words to areas outside of the urban setting of work.
2) Explain what Moore and Patel mean by “Cheap Care” by providing examples from your own environment, community, family or friends.
3) Give some examples from Moore and Patel’s “Cheap Work” and/or “Cheap Care” chapter that would fit under Bayly or Vries definition of the Industrious Revolution.
4) How did practices and understandings of labor change since the 16th century?
