The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire of 1911 in New York City killed 146 garment workers, mostly young immigrant women. The fire was caused by a cigarette left in a scrap bin and spread quickly due to accumulated scraps and lack of safety measures in the factory. It revealed the unsafe conditions many workers endured, such as locked doors, and led to major reforms regulating workplace safety and the establishment of unions. The tragedy served as a turning point, improving conditions for industrial workers through new laws and organizations in the decades after. However, unsafe factories still exist today in other parts of the world.

Industrial in United States
Prior to industrialization, agriculture was the main industry in the United States. It was not until the mid 18th century that mechanical processes began to appear in Western society and by the 19th Century the Industrial Revolution was in full swing. Prior to the Industrial Revolution everything that was made was made by hand and any machines were used individually in a business not as a manufacturing process. After the development of Industrialization the way goods were produced changed simplifying and improving the ability of all types of industries to produce their goods. Thanks to industrialization America developed into a modern and innovative society.
Positive Development due to Industrialization
Industrialization forever changed the United States and European countries. The first positive contribution made that positively affected America society was the manufacturing process. Known as the American system of manufacturing, this new system of production began to appear in different cities in America. In the United States, the first factory system appeared in Waltham and Lowell in the 1810s and 1820s in the textile industry (Backer, 2009). The new factory model consisted of a manufacturer process that was power-driven by machinery that changed different aspects of society including labor, specialization, and manufacturing.
The Industrial Revolution forever changed how people worked. They no longer had to work a piece of machinery on their own and create all parts of a product. After the development of the factory process this all changed. Due to manufacturing and the development of the assembly line process businesses were able to produce mass amounts of good. This reduced the cost of production and allowed businesses to mechanize and standardize there manufacturing processes. Americas manufacturing process, the assembly line, was copied by industrial business across the globe and due to their ability to simplify labor became a leader in the production of goods shipped all over the world.
Businessmen, like Henry Ford, were able to produce mass good and become the industrial leaders for the United States and the world. Using the assembly line, Ford was able to produce the first vehicle that could be afforded by the average person through the use of standardized parts and an assembly line. The assembly line was the reason America was able to win the First and Second World Wars and it also resulted in a new approach to labor. For the first time workers came to work and worked 8 hour shifts of production. This help to standardize labor processes.
The second positive contribution made that positively affected America society the harnessing of power. Prior to the Industrial Revolution citizens in America relied on candles for power. Even though power was discovered before industrialization only a select fe.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. The Triangle Shirtwaist factory was
located in the Lower East Side of New
York City on the corner of Green Street
and Washington Place. (Greenwald,
The Burning Building at Washington
Place, 55.)
The owners were Max Blanck and Isaac
Harris
The factory produced shirtwaists
(women’s blouses).
About 500 employees worked in the
factory with majority of the workers
being female Jewish and Italian
immigrants. (Rosenzweig, Who Built
America, 223.)
3. One of the deadliest disasters within the industrial workforce occurred
within this building. (Jozwiak, Triangle, Kindle edition.)
A fire broke out due to a cigarette butt that was left lit in the scrap bin.
The fire grew quickly because of the accumulated scraps that were left
in the scrap bin.
There was no alarm system to alert the workers of the fire that had
broke out.
4. The fire escapes were poorly
designed.
On top of that, the owners locked the
doors to the stairwells and the exists
in order to prevent workers from
sneaking out to rest or steal needles
and thread.
Many of the workers who were unable
to escape, jumped out the window in
an act of despair. (Mitelman, Rose
Schneiderman, 93.)
146 people died because of the fire.
123 of these people were women, and
23 were men.
Most Triangle workers were between
16 and 23; some were even 14.
5. • Clara Lemlich Shavelson
was a leader of the
shirtwaist workers in New
York City
• She worked as an activist
and suffragist for women.
• Clara organized strikes for
the intolerable conditions
she and many other
women worked in.
She alongside 20,000 other
women of the 30,000
shirtwaist workers began
to strike.
• This was known as the
“Uprising 20,000” and
the strike continued
from November 1909 to
February 1910.
• Clara was able to
produce union
contracts at nearly
every shop except for
the Triangle Shirtwaist
Factory who opposed
these unionized efforts.
• The contracts enforced
safety standards, fire
drills, and handling of
scraps.
6. The Triangle Fire outraged many Americans.
They questioned at what cost of human life would it take for measures
to be carried out regarding industrialization.
Many working people, reformers, and even survivors of the fire
pressured factory regulation.
7. “ No one should have to sacrifice their life for their
livelihood, because a nation built on the dignity of work
must provide safe working conditions for its people.”
Security of Labor Thomas E. Perez
8. On June 1911, New York created a Factory Investigation
Commission which looked into factories for fire hazards,
unsanitary conditions, and many other matters.
The commission was very thorough. It investigated 3, 385
workplaces, conducted 59 hearings, and heard testimonies
from 472 witnesses. (U.S. Department of Labor)
Thanks to the Factory Investigation Commission, 20 laws
were enacted that provided stricter regulation on health
and safety conditions.
Specifically these laws required better building access, and
exits, fire extinguishers, alarm systems, automatic
sprinklers and fireproofing technology.
The American Society of Safety Engineers was also founded
October 14, 1911.
9. National Labor Relations Act of 1935 (Wagner Act) prohibited
employers from discriminating against workers who joined unions and
assured the rights to negotiate terms of their employment.
The Fair Labor Standards Act in 1938 helped established minimum
wage. It also established a 40 hour work week, so if people worked past
those 40 hours, they would receive overtime which is time-and-a-half.
Lastly, it established a minimum age to work certain jobs seeing as how
some young kids were working dangerous jobs when they shouldn’t
have been. (U.S. Department of Labor)
The number of deaths in the workplace decreased dramatically after
these reforms were carried out but some owners still broke the rules.
In 1991, a poultry plant in North Carolina caught fire and 25 workers
died because the doors were locked.
10. Below is the hyperlink to a video that compares
garment workers of today with the garment
workers during the time of the Triangle Shirtwaist
Factory. It gives you insight on how these factories
are set up. To this day, majority of immigrant
women fulfill these garment industry jobs just
hoping to entering the work force in America.

11. The Triangle Fire as devastating as it was, really served as a
turning point in industrial history. So many people worked
in horrible unsafe conditions without so much as a say to
improve these conditions. This tragedy awakened many
reformers and workers to fight against such cruelty. 146
deaths could have been prevented had a door simply been
unlocked the day of the Triangle Fire. American has greatly
improved their working conditions especially in
comparison to the 1900s, but many factories like this still
exist in other countries and reform needs to happen in
these countries in order to avoid such tragedy once more.
