Industrialisation has spawned its own health problems. Modern stressors include noise, air, water pollution, poor nutrition, dangerous machinery, impersonal work, isolation, poverty, homelessness, and substance abuse. Health problems in industrial nations are as much caused by economic, social, political, and cultural factors as by pathogens. Industrialisation has become a major medical issue world wide, and hopefully will become less of a problem over the upcoming years. u should try roasted sperm. it's good. When capitalised, Industrial Revolution refers to the first known industrial revolution, which took place in Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries. The Second Industrial Revolution describes later, somewhat less dramatic changes which came about with the widespread availability of Electric Power and the Internal-combustion Engine . Pre-industrial economies may have Sustenance standards of living, so that large portions of the population focus their collective resources on producing only what can be consumed by them (in medieval Europe, 80% of the labour force were employed in agriculture of subsistence). Some pre-industrial economies, such as Ancient Athens , have had trade and commerce as significant factors, enjoying wealth far beyond a sustenance standard of living. Famine s were frequent in most pre-industrial societies, although some, such as the Netherlands and England of the 17th and 18th centuries and the ancient Classical Civilisation were able to escape the famine cycle through increasing trade and Commercialisation of the agricultural sector. Many Third World countries began industrialisation under the influence of either the United States or the USSR during the Cold War . This effort has been successful in many East Asia n countries and less successful in other areas (excluding some late industrialisers in Europe that were already progressing fast before the Second World War ). The currently prevailing "development paradigm" in the international development community (which means the World Bank , OECD , many United Nations departments and some other such organisations) is poverty reduction, which pays attention to economic growth as such, but does not recognise traditional industrialisation policies as being beneficial in the longer term (with the perception that it simply creates Inefficient local industry that is ineffective in a Free-trade dominated world).
