Industrialization affecting social hierarchy

Continuity & Change�

Prompt: “Traditional elites remained powerful” (Continuity)

22 of 25

Now you have to the actual ‘explaining’:

Explain one way, despite economic change, in which traditional elites remained powerful in the period 1750 -1900.

How or Why?

Ideas:- Traditional elites were already wealthy and presumably had made many investments and increased that wealth

- Traditional elites, from the profits of investments, already had a high standard of living and desired the usual high social status comes with wealth

23 of 25

Complete sentence

Industrialization did affect the social hierarchy overtime, however one continuity was that traditional elites remained powerful. This is because prior to the industrial revolution, elites already had wealth and a high social status which they used to invest in emerging companies thus increasing their power even more.
