Thesis
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Life in the 1900's was depressing and was an era filled with extremely
|
|||
|
|
hard and strenous work that didn't offer any future for the average
|
|||
|
|
canadian in doing better. If you were an average wage earner you would be
|
|||
|
|
virtually stuck in the same job for the rest of your life, while rich
|
|||
|
|
maintained their wealth mainly caused by the low taxes. Living conditions
|
|||
|
|
were poor for average canadians and even worse for the arriving immigrants.
|
|||
|
|
At this time some of the modern convienences were just being invented and
|
|||
|
|
even if it were for sale only the extremely rich had the option of
|
|||
|
|
purchasing the items. Sports being very new, in the aspect of it being
|
|||
|
|
organized was small time compared to present day. Travelling required time
|
|||
|
|
and was uncomfortable. Only the rich could have the luxurious accomadations
|
|||
|
|
for those long journeys. Many jobs were available to most people but you
|
|||
|
|
were under constant scrutiny while working and would have to be willing to
|
|||
|
|
do any thing the boss wanted. I believe my friends and I would most likely
|
|||
|
|
resent and despise it if we had to live in the 1900's.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
During the 1900's horses played a significant role in the everyday
|
|||
|
|
life. A horse drawn carriage would bring a docter to the house of where a
|
|||
|
|
baby would be born. A hearse was pulled by horses to the cemetery when
|
|||
|
|
somebody died. Farmers used them to pull their ploughs while town dwellers
|
|||
|
|
kept them for transportation around town. Horses puled delivery wagons for
|
|||
|
|
businesses such as bakery, dairy, and coal company. Horses pulled fire
|
|||
|
|
engines through the streets in a fire emergency.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The bicycle was widely accepted by canadians because of its easy
|
|||
|
|
maintence compared to a horse. The bike allowed an option of
|
|||
|
|
transportation. The bicycle also gave a sense of freedom to virtually
|
|||
|
|
anybody willing to learn.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Henry Ford revolutionized the world we live in by inventing the
|
|||
|
|
"horseless carriage", if it had not been for him, instead of taking the GO
|
|||
|
|
bus in the morning we'd be riding a horse named Wanda. Not only did his
|
|||
|
|
invention offer a method of transportation to the public, but it helped
|
|||
|
|
with our emergency services such as fire engines, police cars, and
|
|||
|
|
ambulances. Now we have a large variety of cars to choose from varying in
|
|||
|
|
size and price. He also brought a large profitable industry to North
|
|||
|
|
America...The car industry. Back then there weren't many problems that they
|
|||
|
|
created. Today, we have our deteriorating ozone layer, poisonous chemicals
|
|||
|
|
that come from exhaust fumes (CO2)(Carbon Monoxide). Not to mention the
|
|||
|
|
traffic accidents, parking problems and traffic jams in downtown Toronto.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
11 years previous to WW I Orville and Wilbur Wright made a successful
|
|||
|
|
flight in the first airplane at the beach of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
|
|||
|
|
Although the flight only lasted 12 seconds it would change the way we see
|
|||
|
|
the world.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The telephone allowed the houseneeds to be satisfied without leaving
|
|||
|
|
they're homes. Women received an oppurtunity to work as a a switch board
|
|||
|
|
operator.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I don't know if I can stress the importance of Marconi's invention
|
|||
|
|
enough. But I can say, that without it not only would there be no T.V. or
|
|||
|
|
radio there would be a lot of unemployed people right now(even more
|
|||
|
|
unemployed than now!!!). The reason for that is radio provides people with
|
|||
|
|
jobs such as DJ's, musical programmers etc. Also, radio is a major form of
|
|||
|
|
advertising, without it there would not be as many advertising agencies or
|
|||
|
|
as many positions in this field. Without T.V., advertising agencies would
|
|||
|
|
also face the same consequences. T.V. provides millions of people with
|
|||
|
|
employment in commercials, T.V. shows, and movies.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Baseball was the most popular sport in the United States where the
|
|||
|
|
World Series began in 1903. Tom Longboat was born in Brantford, Ontario and
|
|||
|
|
was known for outrunning a horse over a 19 km coarse. He set a record of 2
|
|||
|
|
hours, 24 min and 24 seconds when he ran the Boston Marathon.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Jan 22/1901 Queen Victoria died at the age of 63 years. The Queens
|
|||
|
|
reign stretched across the globe. With her death came modernization. In the
|
|||
|
|
early 1900's horses were being used extensivley for all transportating
|
|||
|
|
duties and some manual labor jobs. A few years later the bicycle hit Canada
|
|||
|
|
and presented the Canadians with a better option of transportation mainly
|
|||
|
|
because of the simplicity of maintence. During these other discoveries the
|
|||
|
|
automobile was being perfected for use by the general public. By the 1920's
|
|||
|
|
the automobile was no longer a rich man's toy and was being used by many
|
|||
|
|
people. 1903 saw the first succesful flight fo the airplane bh Orville and
|
|||
|
|
Wilbur Wright at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. At about the same time
|
|||
|
|
Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in Nova Scotia. By the turn of
|
|||
|
|
the century telephones had uses increased from ordering household goods to
|
|||
|
|
supplying jobs for women and men. 1901, Signal Hill in St.John's
|
|||
|
|
Newfoundland Guglielmo Marcone received the first radio signal sent across
|
|||
|
|
the Atlantic Ocean. 20 years would elasped before radio broadcasting
|
|||
|
|
becomes mass entertainment. First movies were seen in the 19th century. 20
|
|||
|
|
years will pass till speaking films arrive. 1903 the United States had
|
|||
|
|
their first World Series. In Canada, Tom Longboat was a famous runner who
|
|||
|
|
was famous for running faster than a horse on a 19 km course. Later to be
|
|||
|
|
proclaimed the worlds best marathoner. In the early 1900's modern
|
|||
|
|
covienences were just being available like bathrooms, electric washing
|
|||
|
|
machines, sewing machines, electric hearing aids, vacuum cleaners. The very
|
|||
|
|
fortuanate who could afford these items would order them from the Eaton's
|
|||
|
|
Catologue. All types of goods could be ordered in the Eaton's Catologue
|
|||
|
|
from fence posts to fashionable hats. The time period between 1901 and 1911
|
|||
|
|
almost 2 million people immigrated to Canada from Europe, Britain and the
|
|||
|
|
United States. Due to the population growth, in 1905 Alberta and
|
|||
|
|
Saskatchewan became apart of the Confederation. The railway boom in
|
|||
|
|
1903-1904 helped elevate the employment. Materials needed to build the
|
|||
|
|
railways and the transporting of the materials started the
|
|||
|
|
industrialization. Urbanization led to a serious problem of overcrowding.
|
|||
|
|
The three economic classes were the rich, average, and the immigrants. With
|
|||
|
|
low taxes this allowed the rich to spend on frivalous items such as horse
|
|||
|
|
and carriages. In contrast the average would only use their money for the
|
|||
|
|
neccessities in survival. At the bottom were the immigrants that were
|
|||
|
|
forced to live in unsanitary conditions and dank, damp basements. Not only
|
|||
|
|
were there differences of wealth or lack of but there was a difference in
|
|||
|
|
women and men's treatment. For example women did not have the freedom to
|
|||
|
|
enter pool room's, taverns and even bowling allies. Choices for women were
|
|||
|
|
working in stores and factories. Even if you came from a rich family your
|
|||
|
|
choices would have been nursing or teaching. Coming from a poor family
|
|||
|
|
women tended to just become a domestic servent. Women didn't have the right
|
|||
|
|
to vote like the men. In 1876 Dr Emily Stowe formed Toronto Women's
|
|||
|
|
Literary Club(TWLC). The purpose of this club was to inform women of their
|
|||
|
|
rights and to help secure women's rights. This group persuaded U of T to
|
|||
|
|
admit women in 1866. Also improved wages and working conditions. Womens
|
|||
|
|
Christian Temperence Union(WCTU) their goal was to combat problems created
|
|||
|
|
by alcohol in the society. A great social speaker Nellie Mclung received
|
|||
|
|
her start in WCTU to lead in the fight for equal freedom and for womens
|
|||
|
|
rights.
|

|
Conclusion
|
|||
|
|
After discovering information about the 1900's I have come to the
|
|||
|
|
conclusion that in the 1900's was both good and bad. It was good because of
|
|||
|
|
the rising industries thus raising the economy. The main industries working
|
|||
|
|
for Canada were the railways, and road building. These industries provided
|
|||
|
|
needed jobs and the materials needed to complete these projects helped
|
|||
|
|
Canada grow even more. Low taxes meant you could pay for more important
|
|||
|
|
expenditures than paying to the government. The bad part of the 1900's was
|
|||
|
|
the three living standards in how most people were the poor and very little
|
|||
|
|
were rich. The modern convienences were not available to everyone in the
|
|||
|
|
early 1900's because these devices would have been very expensive caused by
|
|||
|
|
the newness of the products. Even though were guys I can see how women
|
|||
|
|
would have despised the fact that you were not able to vote or enter any
|
|||
|
|
buildings without checking it if it's not a tavern, pool room, and a
|
|||
|
|
bowling alley. Due to these outsanding points that stuck first in my mind I
|
|||
|
|
have changed my mind and believe it was both good and bad.
