An interesting take on the Industrial Revolution

A washing machine does not inspire as much as you think because you really don't think how it impacted society when it was created.  Watch this video to see another perspective of the industrial revolution.  If the video doesn't work, here is the link: http://www.ted.com/talks/view/lang/en//id/1101



A special thanks to the TED talks website.  You should check it out or download the app for your ipod, ipad, or droid.

Positivism and the Poor

Industrial Revolution, Scientific Revolution, Philosophy, and the poor. Thanks to the Count of Saint-Simon and the Scientific Method, the poor now have more going for them.

Your job as a devotee follower of the Count of Saint-Simon is to create an awareness of the plight of the poor using the scientific method.

You can create an awareness through an information flyer or brochure. Be sure to keep the flyer or brochure in the time period and include the Scientific Method when discussing the plight of the poor and how to solve it.
