Chapter 17

The Industrial Revolution had some pros and cons during its time. Some environmental

consequences of Industrialization were largely negative the extraction of natural resources

permanently changed the landscape. On the other hand as a consequences of industrialization was so

powerful that it would transform entire societies in Western Europe, the United States, Russia and

eventually the entire world but some were negative. The Western Europe had unique advantages that

later were seen as the top leader of the Industrial Revolution. China had the most impressive

technology at the time. Europe and other countries were constantly searching new and secure sources

of state revenue. Europe also had another advantage which was that they were involved in global

trade networks. The Industrial Revolution began in Britain. Spain also had a large colonial empire

and was very late to Industrial. Britain scientists were much more focused with the need of the

engineers. The British aristocracy continued to be the elite in the industrial societies. Urbanization

was  quickly moving. Those that benefitted most from the industrial revolution were in the relatively

newly formed middle classes. Middle class involved a lot of small businesses. Working in the labor

class were people who suffered a lot, 77% of Britain's people were in this class. Working situations

were very unsafe and not healthy a person to work. Social protest began to happen. Karl Marx who

was German that he argued that capitalism was going to fall in a time where worldwide workers

were revolting.  Marx's ideas did inspire workers that did labor strikes which happen in the year of

1910-1913.

Chapter 16 (Echoes through end)

The impact that the Atlantic Revolution was felt throughout the Western and Eastern Europe. 

Irregular revolts began to happen, expressing ideas of republicanism, greater social equality and 

liberation from foreign rule. But the Atlantic Revolution made a huge long term impact and it was 

much more global in nature. A long term effects is the abolition of slavery. The practice began from 

civilization  by the end of the 19th century. There was many different forces against slavery. 

Enlightenment thinkers whose ideas inspire the Atlantic Revolutions in the first place became 

increasingly more critical of slavery. Focusing on the slaves lack of liberty and equality. Then came 

in the protestant evangelicals who were daily activist and began the abolitionist movement of 

slavery. The movement began in US and England out of being devoted to the opposition of slavery. 

They publicized the evils of slavery and published memoirs by former slaves. They wanted to let 

people know the truth behind slavery. Not all of this situation was bad, there was also some good to 

it. The British led the way to tear down by abolishing the slave trade in 1807 and emancipating all 

their slaves in their empire in 1834. Latin American countries followed their way, and Russia 

emancipated the slavery in 1861. The resistance to abolition in some slave trading and owning 

societies no more so than in the Southern States in the US. The United States stands out as the only 

Nation, only Nation that had to fight a brutal and destructive Civil War from 1861 to 1865 to end 

slavery. Almost, but there were no changes to social or political emancipation. Jim Crow laws and 

public lynching were used as a way to keep black sharecroppers in check. Not only this new idea 

play an affect on countries but also the idea of a Nation. The revolutionary idea of sovereignty that 

political power rests in the hands of the people and not in the hands of the Kings, Queens, or 

Emperor. Nationalism required defining who was part of a nation and who was outside of the nation.

Chapter 16

In intro to part five it mainly speaks about a new form of human society taking place in the world,

commonly known as "modern." It all started with scientific research/data, French, and Industrial

Revolutions that was based in Western Europe. These societies had huge ideas, that guided on how

our human behavior has evolved and change. For example the movement of social equality, end of

poverty, and that the average human being may participate in a political lifestyle. Also the belief that

nations might win over empires, or women becoming equal as men or that even a possibility of

slavery will not be needed. A whole lot of ideas became a new movement for what is right or wrong.

In Strayers Chapter 16 known as "European Moment," talks about new trends, and looks at the

Atlantic Revolutions as a global view and what affects it has in the world. The Atlantic Revolutions

were more regional in nature from local grievances and demands. Another feature of the Atlantic

Revolutions can be seen in the fact that many revolutionary leaders actively participated in other

revolutions. Providing advice and encouragement to each other, closely connected. The Atlantic was

were "world of Ideas" were exchanged and debated importantly. It was more seen as a culture for the

community because can be improve by economically speaking, food, and politics. Liberty and

equality were the main topics for their society, yes there was some exclusion. While they were

thinking that their Atlantic politics and events were local it made a huge impact globally. They were

setting the terms and parameters of political debates well into the 20th century, specifically

abolitionism, nationalism, and feminism. Mainly on constitutions, representative governments and

basic human rights made a human impact till this day.

Foundress Week

The University was founded by two sisters of Notre Dame de Namur who came from Namur, 

Belgium. The sisters had a mission of expanding access to education, for women. These sisters 

names were Julie and Francoise. Notre Dame de Namur University was founded by the Sisters of 

Notre Dame de Namur in 1851 in Santa Clara Valley. I learned that the school was chartered in 1868 

as the College of Notre Dame. It was known as the first college in the state of California authorized 

to grant the baccalaureate degree to women. In 1922, the sisters purchased Ralston Hall. In the year 

1923, Notre Dame de Namur officially opened doors in Belmont, California. Originally the school 

started off as a all girl school. That changed in the year 1967, the College of Notre Dame de Namur 

became coeducational. In the year 1970 the first three men graduated from the college. In 2001, the 

College of Notre Dame changed its name officially as Notre Dame de Namur University. This 

university is well known for the recognition of being a Hispanic serving institution. The university 

kept growing overtime. From reading and understanding what the sisters of Notre Dame did, just has 

a rich history for our university. People with so much humbleness and having a passion for education 

is just a priceless moment. I did not do anything during the Foundress Week activity at my school 

because unfortunately I did not have time at all. Practice got in the way and so did other classes. But 

learning the history of my university made me realize that I am in a special place.

SND 

What is SND? SND stands for Sisters of Notre Dame. This group has respected so many people

regardless of their gender, age, social class, disability or skin color. Sisters of Notre Dame wanted to

help those who needed it more than others. They committed their entire lives to help the world and

try to make it a better place little by little. Franciose Blin de Bourdon was a lady who grew up with

her grandparents. Francisoe Blin de Bourdon was born in the year 1756. She was born into wealth,

and did not struggle at all financially. According to the document she started boarding school around

the age of six. "The school was run by the Benedictine nuns of the Abbey Sant Michael in the small

town of Doullens, less than four kilometers from Gezaincourt. Catering to daughter of the

aristocracy, the school was based on a model which prioritized "formation of good wives and            

mothers" (Recker 166)." Julie Billiart life style was little different than Francisoe because she grew

up with poverty and a couple set backs in her life. She did have the same intentions had Francisoe by

helping the world little by little. Julie enjoyed teaching the poor kids in the village news information

of education. Her father owned a shop but at the same time Francisoe was getting ready to leave

the country, her father was robbed. Financially a lot of things went bad for Julie and her family.

When things were becoming good in Francisoe life in the early 20's, Julie began to have bad

moments. Her father was shot anonymously by a gunman. During this moment she was in college,

working and hearing that he father got shot whelp it caused many problems emotionally and

physically speaking. She unfortunately entered a state of paralysis. During these times,  doctors

where ignorant and not really advance with medicine and ways to cure people. Like really, drilling

holes on peoples head because they have a headache or migraine. Or having leaches take out blood.

But overall, they decided to help out the world and kids into poverty. Change the world into a better

place with the guidance of good deeds.
