During the Victorian era in Britain, several social changes occurred. Working class conditions improved thanks to reduced prices and increased wages. Popular leisure activities on Sundays included outings made possible by new inventions like the bicycle and railways. However, Charles Darwin's theory of evolution challenged traditional religious beliefs in British society. Women's roles were also strictly defined, with their bodies seen as pure and meant for their husbands. Education was not considered necessary for women, and most jobs outside of nursing or other domestic roles were closed to them. Their primary duties centered around the household and family.
The document discusses two paintings by Joseph Mallord William Turner that depict the British Industrial Revolution: "The Fighting Temeraire" from 1839 and "Rain, Steam and Speed" from 1844. "The Fighting Temeraire" shows a retired naval ship being towed by steam ships, representing the old making way for the new. "Rain, Steam and Speed" depicts a steam locomotive crossing a bridge in the rain, symbolizing Britain's technological advancement. Both paintings convey Turner's perspective on the changes wrought by the Industrial Revolution and Britain's transition from an old to a new economic and technological power.
The automobile revolution began in the late 18th century with early experiments by inventors like Trevithick and Cugnot. Major advances occurred during the Industrial Revolutions of the late 1700s and early 1800s with the development of steam power, as well as the second Industrial Revolution from 1870-1880 with the rise of oil and electricity. These technological changes enabled mass production of affordable automobiles in the late 1800s and early 1900s, driving major social and economic changes as automobiles became widely adopted.
The Irish people left Ireland in large numbers between 1820 and 1899 due to the potato famine and lack of work, with around 3 million Irish immigrants arriving in New York. When they arrived in New York, many Irish settlers lived in the crowded and impoverished Five Points area of Manhattan. While conditions were difficult, the Five Points district also served as a cultural melting pot where the Irish and other immigrant groups exchanged ideas and influences that later developed into musical genres like jazz and rock and roll. Today, the Irish community remains an important part of New York's history, culture and population.
Irish migrations in the 19th century were driven by religious conflicts between Catholics and Protestants, poor living conditions in Ireland, and the hope of a better life in America. Religious discrimination and attacks against Catholics caused many to leave. Additionally, a lack of sanitation and the potato famine led to starvation and poverty. Over 750,000 people died from the famine. Finally, migrants were attracted by the prospect of jobs, free land, and cheaper transportation to places like America and Canada.

Traditional Irish instruments include the fiddle, uilleann pipes, and bodhrán. Irish dance has roots in traditional farmer clothing. Popular Irish sports are Gaelic football, a mix of football and rugby played by teams of 15, and hurling, a fast-paced ball game played with hurleys. Symbols of Ireland include the shamrock and Celtic harp. Important holidays are St. Stephen's Day, Samhain/H
