Social Changes

#1 Nineteenth century novels can be considered reliable primary documents for their historical influence, background knowledge, settings, and the way their tales relayed to events in history.

#2 The life of a Middle-Class Russian Landowner was simple. One got married, settled down, had a family, possibly lived happily with their spouse. The wife would stay at home, growing flowers taking care of the chickens while her husband went hunting and would look after his estate and affairs. The son would go on to higher education and follow their fathers footsteps, thus repeating the entire process.

#3 Cousul Tienappel, an upper class German enjoys a very lavish lifestyle. He has a splendid estate, with a weedless lawn, near a river and a rose bush garden. He has a vast assortment of fine carriages, always ate finely assorted meals, and always wears suits of finest English cloth. He owns fine jewelery, has two sons, and even keeps a housekeeper, and on special occasions hires waiters to serve when he invites dinner guests.

#4 The accounts of the lives of the french working class differs from that of others in several ways. For one thing, unlike the other accounts, this one shows a less privileged lifestyle. It depicts how lower class families lived and how they had to survive. Unlike the higher up classes, the working class French were living in cramped conditions, sharing beds, and suffering deformities/diseases. A whole family often shared one room and shared beds with other family members. They were given coal rations which were used to heat the kitchens and house and ovens. Food was less than ample, bread was scarce, as was bread. Worse a whole family usually worked in one place, like a coal mine and family members were given food according to their stature in the family. Life for them was not a happy one.

#5 It would be an understatement to say that in the 19Th century Ireland furniture was a luxury. In some villages, like the Village of Tullahobaghy in County Donegal, there were barely any beds, barely enough chairs and stools, to support the population.

#6 The first suburbs in Britain were created in Britain as an escape from the filthy congestion of the industrial cities. Before 1850 only the richest people who could afford carriages that would bring them to work could live in suburbs. Only when trains and then trams were brought to them could less fortunate families afford to live in suburbs.

#7 The diets of upper class and middle class differed form that of the lower class in many ways. For one, the upper and middle class followed the French styles for dinning. They ate large breakfasts, light lunches , dinners then later desserts. Dinners were huge events with usually no less than five dishes. Peasants ate little, usually bread and whatever they could afford.

#8 Erm, i failed to make sense of what you were asking sir.

#9 Family sizes were decreasing during the last half of the nineteenth century due to better use of birth control and less to infertility.

#10 Economical and social changes improved the way that women's lives were through the development of new careers. There was a higher demand for elementary school teachers, female nurses, secrataries, and receptionists. Over time, females would eventually become doctors, lawyers, and women would begin attending higher educations.

#11 There were two major things impeding Europen Newspapers. One was the taxes on newspapers the second would be the restriction on the freedom off press.

#12 The mass circulation of newspapers after 1870 can be attributed to the massive increase in technological advancement. Telephones made it easier to get news around, and people were able to keep up a steady stream of current events. Papers were printed cheaper and began to spread even faster.

#13 The most probable reason for the development of sports and leisure activities during the last part of the nineteenth century would be that people were probably working less hours, and thus needed a way to entertain themselves. And the upper class who probably worked very little, wanted to spend their free time enjoying themselves.
