Artifact 10: Cause and Effect Analytical Writing

Rough draft

A combination of push and pull factors lead to a rural exodus. Some people moved overseas to Canada, the United State, New Zealand, or Australia, while others moved from the country side into the cities. This exodus began in the eighteenth century, but happened more rapidly in the nineteenth century.

Industrialization lead to a decline of the cottage industries, particularly hand loom weaving, hand-lace and knitting. Factories lowered the cost so that these cottage industries couldn’t compete with machine made goods. People involved in these cottage industries moved into factories town and the population of rural areas declined.

Families sent their daughters off to jobs as servants in the towns. Middle class families had these girls work as servant in their homes. These middle class families preferred country girls to girls who had grown up to the cities. In the past, these girls could have made living knitting or making lace, but industrialization ended this.

A series of crop failures lead to famine which forced people to abandon their homes. Farmers were dependent on potatoes for their lively hood. Some communities lost as much as 50% of their population.

Despite numerous attempts to regenerate the rural economy, it never improved. Both the Arts and Crafts movement and the Home Arts and Industries Association were unsuccessful in their attempt to provide new opportunities. The British government tried different programs up to today, but none of them have been successful.

Final draft

Urbanization is the migration of a large number of rural dwellers into the cities. A combination of push and pull factors lead to a rural exodus in nineteenth century England. Some people moved overseas to Canada, the United State, New Zealand, or Australia, while others moved from the country side into the cities. This exodus began in the eighteenth century, but happened more rapidly in the nineteenth century.

England underwent a large skill development of its industries center around urban areas. Industrialization lead to a decline of the cottage industries, particularly hand loom weaving, hand-lace and knitting. Factories lowered the cost so that these cottage industries couldn’t compete with machine made goods. People involved in these cottage industries moved into factories town and the population of rural areas declined. This decision to leave their homes was arrived at by comparing job opportunities at home and elsewhere.

Families sent their daughters off to jobs as servants in the towns. Middle class families had these girls work as servant in their homes. These middle class families preferred country girls to girls who had grown up to the cities. In the past, these girls could have made living knitting or making lace, but industrialization ended this. Furthermore, it was considered socially unacceptable for these girls to work on farms in the fields. 

A series of crop failures lead to famine which forced people to abandon their homes. Farmers were dependent on potatoes for their lively hood. Some communities lost as much as 50% of their population. Even though their future overseas was uncertain, it was more attractive then the situation at home. A large number of people from Scotland, sometimes whole communities, left for a better life for Australia.

Despite numerous attempts to regenerate the rural economy, it never improved. Both the Arts and Crafts movement and the Home Arts and Industries Association were unsuccessful in their attempt to provide new opportunities. The British government tried different programs up to today, but none of them have been successful.

Urbanization in nineteenth century England was the result of a combination of different push and pull factors. On the one hand, the decision to migrate was freely taken, but on the other hand, the decision was forced upon them by circumstances. Whatever the reason, the result is clear; England was transformed from a rural society to an urban one.
