Some new topics have been added and some of the old topic have been discarded Industrie Labour and Society is a central issue in Sociology as the discipline is a study of human society. This paper is therefore compulsory for all students.of Sociology. Those who have done Sociology at the B.A. level will be familiar with some of the concept discussed here. However, we must again stress that the student is expected to learn more and read more at the M.A. level. Hence please do not be under the illusion that your B.A. notes will suffice. It will suffice to ensure that you fail! We must stress once again that at the post-graduate (M.A.) level, you as a student, are expected to have must more knowledge that at the graduation level. The study material presented in this book has been prepared by a group of scholars having vast knowledge of the subject. We have left no stone unturned to ensure that you get the best quality for your studies. Hence we advise you that you should avoid reading guides on the subject. As post-graduate teachers we know about some of the material in circulation. We find these are very elementary and in most cases they give wrong facts. One of the surest way of failing the examination is by referring to guides/In most cases a good student will find that she actually knows more than the guide writer. Hence by following these guides one is likely to unlearn Sociology rather than learn anything. Finally we want to stress -that there is no shortcut to success. The study material presented in this book is of good quality but it is not sufficient. We have followed the M.A. lectures pattern. Lectures in the University Departments serve mainly to get the student inter-ested in the subject. The student has to do further reading on the topics in accordance with the suggestions made by the teacher. Similarly, the course materials are like lectures. If a student wants to do well she must do further reading form the suggested reading given at the end of each chapter. We wish you best of luck and hope that you will go through the readings and the suggested readings. Finally, you practice to write in a clear and coherent manner. You can do this if you practice to write clearly as this will give you confidence. Dr. ShashiA. Mishra Course Co-ordinator ***** 1 1 Chapter 1 Industrialisation and Social Change: Features of Industrial Society Concepts 1.0 Objectives 1.1 Introduction 1.2 Industry as a system of production 1.3 Use of scientific method 1.4 Relationship of industry with other subsystem of society 1.5 Summary 1.6 Check your progress 1.7 Reference 1.8 Question 1.0 OBJECTIVES 1) To understand the complex methods which implies the use of machine. 2) To realise the importance of industry as a complex system of production. 1.1 INTRODUCTION Industry may be defined as “the application of complex & sophisticated methods to the production of Economic goods & services” as P. Gisbert has said. These complex methods which imply the use of machines have been devised in order to improve the quality of production. Modern industry, to which the definition more properly applies, originated during Industrial Revolution in the second half on the 18th century and is still developing. Man in a certain way has always been industrious by nature. He has always used tools or implements to obtain food & satisfy his needs. From the stone tools, digging stick, the hoe, spear or the bow and arrow used by preliterate men to procure his daily bread. 2 Now various types of tools and machines are used. Man has always made them with the use of his intelligence and his adjustive power to use of means to his ends. In fact the original Latin word for industry is “industria” which means skill & resourcefulness and in this sense an industrious man means a diligent & shrewd worker. In the modern sense industry means a system of production. Where big sophisticated machines & tools are used to produce Economic goods and tools are used to produce economic goods and services. 1.2 INDUSTRY AS A SYSTEM OF PRODUCTION Industry today is used to refer a factory mode of production where big or small machines are operated to produce consumer goods. This system involves the scientific or rational method to increase the production. ’Factory’ is referred to a ‘place’ where a large number of workers work together under the same roof. This system is developed by the Entrepreneurs who are also the Capitalists or merchants. These agents invest their money in big projects & can wait long for the return of their money. In order to produce items of common use on a large scale, in the Second half of the Eighteenth century, Entrepreneurs developed this system. In such a system capitalists invested large sum of money in land, building, machines or labour, workers were called from outside to manufacture a number of items.

The end of the war found European countries in a state of exhaustion, civil structures almost non- existent, factories destroyed. One had to start from nothing and the will for restarting seemed stifled by a crisis of discouragement and mistrust. A large portion of the population was still suffering from the recent events with an attitude of resignation, of indifference of passive protest: "Ohne uns"; "without us". The rapid succession and multiplicity of events, the new problems arising which today's society denounces, make that epoch seem far away; however, they cannot make one forget the constructive ability with which industry, above all, responded and reacted to this feeling of bewilderment. If I dwell on this topic, it is to recall briefly our recent history, simply because it seems right to me to underline the worth and continuity of the role played by industry and the constructive thoughts which derived from it for the development of society, in the changeable and varied needs it has since expressed.

  • Communications, Transportation and Phases of the Industrial Revolution MJ Peterson
    Roots of Interconnection: Communications, Transportation and Phases of the Industrial Revolution MJ Peterson International Dimensions of Ethics Education in Science and Engineering Background Reading Version 1; February 2008 Transnational ethical conflicts are more frequent in the contemporary world and because of the greater interconnection among societies. Though scientists and engineers have maintained active contact with colleagues in other countries for centuries, until recent decades such contacts were limited to periods of study at a foreign university, occasional collaboration in labs or on projects, and exchange of research results through publication or presentation at conferences. As societies became more interconnected, the patterns of joint activity deepened. At the same time, the impacts of science and engineering were felt more deeply in society as the connections between basic science on one side and applied science, technology, and engineering of human-made structures became stronger. Two sets of technological changes increased the possibilities for interconnection between societies by increasing the speed of and broadening access to communications and transportation. The changes in communication took hold more quickly, but both were important to increasing the possibility for interaction among members of different societies. With invention of the telegraph in the 1840s messages could travel from point-to-point at the speed of shifting electrons rather than of galloping horses or relays of visual signals from tower to tower. Basic transmission time between Paris and London went from days (horses) or hours (visual relay) to minutes. However, the need to receive the messages in a special telegraph office, copy the text onto paper, and then either deliver the paper to the recipient or have the recipient come by to pick it up meant that total message time was longer for anyone who did not have a telegraph office on-site.

  • Sociology, Work and Industry/Tony J
    Sociology,Work and Industry This popular text explains and justifies the use of sociological imagi- nation to understand the nature of institutions of work, occupations, organisations, management and employment and how they are changing in the twenty-first century. With outstanding breadth of coverage it provides an authoritative overview of both traditional and emergent themes in the sociological study of work; explains the basic logic of sociological analysis of work and work-related institutions; and provides an appreciation of different theoretical traditions. It fully considers: • the direction and implications of trends in technological change, globalisation, labour markets, work organisation, managerial practices and employment relations; • the extent to which these trends are intimately related to changing patterns of inequality in modern societies and to the changing experiences of individuals and families; • the ways in which workers challenge, resist and make their own contributions to the patterning of work and shaping of work institutions. New features include an easy-to-read, fully signposted layout, key issue questions, snapshot case studies, chapter summaries and a companion website which contains useful resources (for students and teachers). All of these elements – and much more – provide you with a text unrivalled in the field. Tony J.

  • The Liberal Theory of Industrialism and the Development of Industrial Relations in Ireland
    I Proceedings of the British Academy, 79, 291-327 , I The Liberal Theory of Industrialism and the Development of Industrial Relations in Ireland WILLIAM K. ROCHE University College Dublin The Liberal Theory of Industrialism and Industrial Relations I THE CENTRAL CONCERNS of liberal theory with respect to industrial relations can be divided into one set of propositions concerning the effects I on unions and employers of the ‘take-off into industrialisation and three further sets of propositions concerning the effects, following take-off, of long-term development towards an increasingly industrialised society. The , major arguments regarding take-off and secular change can be stated as follows. 1 Worker and union militancy and radicalism peak early in the course of industrialisation and represent a protest against social dislocation ~ occasioned by the rigours of industrial organisation and urban life. The faster the pace of industrialisation, the more severe the disjuncture with I traditional patterns of life and the greater the degree of militancy with which workers respond (Kerr et al., 1973: 218-9; Lipset, 1969: ch. 6). Industrial technology and its supposed ‘imperatives’ are attributed major, indeed almost exclusive , importance in influencing trends in behaviour and organisation. Other concomitants of industrialisation, such as the development of markets, growing regional and international economic interdependence, and the effects of business cycles, have virtually no place in liberal theory. The impact of take-off is, however, believed to be I compounded by the social and political circumstances in which it is achieved. Of particular importance in this respect is the sequencing of ‘national, political and industrial “revolutions” in a country relative to the Read 8 December 1990.

Kalleberg University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill The growth of precarious work since the 1970s has emerged as a core contemporary concern within politics, in the media, and among researchers. Uncertain and unpredictable work contrasts with the relative security that characterized the three decades following World War II. Precarious work constitutes a global challenge that has a wide range of consequences cutting across many areas of concern to sociologists. Hence, it is increasingly important to understand the new workplace arrangements that generate precarious work and worker insecurity. A focus on employment relations forms the foundation of theories of the institutions and structures that generate precarious work and the cultural and individual factors that influence people’s responses to uncertainty. Sociologists are well-positioned to explain, offer insight, and provide input into public policy about such changes and the state of contemporary employment relations.

  • The Characteristics of the Information Economy
    Balıkesir Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü Dergisi Cilt:2 Sayı:3 Yıl1999 THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE INFORMATION ECONOMY Yrd.Doç-Dr.Hayriye Atik* ÖZET ABD, Japonya ve bazı Avrupa Birliği ülkeleri 1950'lerin başında bilgi ekonomisine dönüştüler. Bu dönüşüm sonucunda, hizmet ve bilgi sektörleri ülkelerin üretim ve istihdamı içinde hakim sektör durumuna geçti; sanayi sektörünün boyutları küçüldü. Bügi üretimi, bu yeni ekonomide buluşlar ve politikaların formüle edilmesi için daha önemli hale geldi. "Bilgisayar teknolojisi" veya "bilgi teknolojisi" (TT) olarak adlandırılan yeni bir teknoloji ortaya çıktı. Bu değişikliklere ilave olarak, katılımcı demokrasi farklı bir politik sistem olarak parlamenter demokrasinin yermi aldı. Bu çalışma, bilgi ekonomisinin yukarda sayılan özelliklerini derinlemesine ele almaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı, yeni toplumun özelliklerini sanayi toplumu ile karşılaştırmalı olarak açıklamaktır. ABSTRACT The US, Japan and some European Union countries transformed to the information economy in the early 1950s. As a result of this transformation, the size of the industrial sector declined as the service and information sectors became dominant m the employment and production of the countries. In this new economy, knowledge production activities have been more important for umovation and policy formulation. A new technology called "computer technology" or "information technology" (IT) has come out. In addition to these changes, participatory democracy replaced parliamentary democracy as a different political system. This study examines the above characteristics of the information economy deeply. The purpose of the study is to explaine the characteristics of the new society m comparison with that of the industrial society. 1. INTRODUCTION The term "information economy" has been widely used in the development literature to reflect the new development stage of the advanced countries.

  • Was Karl Marx an Ecosocialist?
    Fast Capitalism ISSN 1930-014X Volume 17 • Issue 2 • 2020 doi:10.32855/fcapital.202002.006 Was Karl Marx an Ecosocialist? Carl Boggs Facing the provocative question as to whether Karl Marx could be regarded as an ecosocialist – the very first ecosocialist – contemporary environmentalists might be excused for feeling puzzled. After all, the theory (a historic merger of socialism and ecology) did not enter Western political discourse until the late 1970s and early 1980s, when leading figures of the European Greens (Rudolf Bahro, Rainer Trampert, Thomas Ebermann) were laying the foundations of a “red-green” politics. That would be roughly one century after Marx completed his final work. Later ecological thinkers would further refine (and redefine) the outlook, among them Barry Commoner, James O’Connor, Murray Bookchin, Andre Gorz, and Joel Kovel. It would not be until the late 1990s and into the new century, however, that leftists around the journal Monthly Review (notably Paul Burkett, John Bellamy Foster, Fred Magdoff) would begin to formulate the living image of an “ecological Marx.” The most recent, perhaps most ambitious, of these projects is Kohei Saito’s Karl Marx’s Ecosocialism, an effort to reconstruct Marx’s thought from the vantage point of the current ecological crisis. Was the great Marx, who died in 1883, indeed something of an ecological radical – a theorist for whom, as Saito argues, natural relations were fundamental to understanding capitalist development? Saito’s aim was to arrive at a new reading of Marx’s writings based on previously unpublished “scientific notebooks” written toward the end of Marx’s life.

Moreover, using the analysis of statistical data, it is shown that the development of industrial complexes of countries of the world is accompanied by corresponding structural changes, which in turn determines their economic development in general. The study aims to solve the following issues: which structure of the national industry can be considered progressive under modern conditions, i.e., can lead to progress and sustainable socio-economic growth; whether there is a correlation between the progressive structure of the country’s industry and its economic development and the quality of life of its population; how the approach of the country’s industrial structure to its progressive state influences the country’s economic development and quality of life of its population.
