Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2018 in the subject Sociology - Work, Profession, Education, Organisation, grade: 1,0, AKAD University of Applied Sciences Stuttgart, language: English, abstract: The aim of this assignment is to first define and delimit the terms "work" and "industrialization". Based on this, the development of the industrial periods with the emergence of the transitions between the periods will be described. The essential features, inventions or properties that characterize the respective periods of industrial development should be discussed. In addition, the course or the change and the implementation of work and work processes should be described using the examples of child labor and energy supply. After the introductory chapter, the terms "work" and "industrialization" are defined. Then the development of industrial periods is described. The fourth chapter deals with the changes in child labor and energy supply in industrial change. Finally, the elaboration ends with a summary. The industrial revolution represents one of the major turning points in the history of the development of work. This was a comprehensive technical, economic and social process. Technical progress was merged with the organization of work during the industrial revolution. With the introduction of assembly line work, the living environment of people was revolutionized with the basic principles of division of labor and rationalization and quickly formed the economic and political basis for modern industrial societies. At the same time, social adjustment structures were produced with concepts such as the separation of mental and manual work, the separation of gainful employment and activities outside the labor market, and the gender-specific separation of fields of work. Through the possibilities of technical innovations, the action logic of the division of labor and rationalization could be initiated. Work processes have been digitized, standardized and networked with the almost nationwide introduction of information and communication technology.
