Unit 3

In the late 19th and 20th century their was the second Industrial Revolution and urbanization. In the urbanization, the majority of the population moved to the city to find work. Because of the development of technology lots of new factories were created which created a lot more jobs and pay for people but it created jobs that over worked and under payed people. Technology was good because it made people's lives easier, with technologies like electricity and cars, because they could do stuff at night and get places faster. Technology was bad because it created a lot of poverty at the time, because so many people were moving to the cities to work in factories but when some one worked in a factory they would work so many hours that they would get sick or die and they would get paid very little for all the work they did and they could barley afford food.


In my opinion, Honolulu would be one of the most interesting cities to live in because it has lots of history all over it. One major piece of history is the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7th 1941(www.city-data.com/world-cities/Honolulu-history.html). The island then became a major military post with one third of Honolulu's population being military. Another cool piece of history is the volcanoes on the island, although they are cool and nice to see, according to http://www.soest.hawii.edu/ says that a couple are still active and may erupt. So having to live in a city with an active volcano would be one down side. Along with its history Hawii is just about always warm, During the summer the temperature stays just at or below 90 degrees, during the winter it stays at about 60 to 70 degrees.
