August 2, 2013 False Memory -Memories we remembered but never happened Experiments on Mice -The memories are stored

ed in interconnections -They used proteins activated by blue light The brain is not like a videocamera -Other elements are also absorbed Relationship of Production: The workers exist to sell their labor Why is there an improvement in wages, livelihood, etc? Because of capital Why do you have to pay your workers? Living wage = Minimum wage in the Philippine Constitution Why are the gadgets and other stuff being made in China? Because their workers' labor is very cheap Conflict between capital and labor CAPITAL -Money -Capital is liquid, it flows -Money is fungible, it can be used for exchange, easily interchangeable -Things arent fungible "Capital will always flow towards the area or sector where it realizes the maximum/ highest rate of return" Liability /Liquidity Problem -Cash can flow Capital has no allegiance to no one, citizenship, etc etc.

What's the problem of the world now? Depression "Brother can you spend a dime?" A person built a railroad = Rich The market has no more capacity to spare the goods No salary = no workers = less market Recession - Overproduction: More products than what can be consumed - Excess Loans and Debts: 2008, when they realized they could not afford their debts - Why overproduction? To earn more profit = more products - Marketing is only liquidize your assets - Profit is realized during production, Marketing is o ly to change it into money Periodic Crisis of Capitalism These problems did NOT arise in a slave or feudal economy Capitalism is the result of Industrialization and thus because of Capitalism, our society has changed by elements of science and technology. Video: Slaves in Caribbean -Different species of slaves: Ex. Blacks = subhumans = commodity to be bought and sold August 5,2013 LT Answers 1.) S 2.)

Chalk when released falls; Chalk when released can go up or down Before: Cyclic View of Life Ex. Serfs have children who become serfs too Current: Linear View of Life/Curvy Linear Bourgeoisie -serfs, common people rose in ranks French Revolution 1748 -Aristocrats and Mary Antoinette got beheaded -Industrial Revolution was well on their way American Civil War -Northern States vs. Southern States -South = Slaves = cotton was prevalent = more slaves = agricultural;Confederate Army; -North = Steam engines; Union Army -Lincoln: No state can cesede the union 2 issues: 1.)Agricultural = industrial products = we cannot compete with europe = tariff from europe's products: tax: increases price = south were against it 2.)Slavery = immoral = go against their religion = cotton from south goes to north to become cloth Labor: commodity: buy and sell Corned Beef: Higher price Supply and Demand

More supply than demand = price goes down = surplus = wages go down More demand than supply = price goes up = more labor = wages go up Thus, avoid slavery! South won. Victory of second wave over first wave. = industrialization over agriculture. August 8, 2013 World Trade Organization IBM International Business Machine Education -Why do you need the schools? Machines -Amplifies the humans' bodies Ex. Cars = legs Clock = monitoring Negative connotation of bourgeois = no culture = only money Music Orchestra -grew and grew and evolved to symphonic orchestra -analagous to the factory Next Friday = Sci10 LT August 14,2013 Aug 19 Monday NO CLASSES Aug 21 Wednesday NO CLASSES Aug 26 Monday NO CLASSES Next Tuesday: SCI10 LT (on readings and discussion)

Industrialization gave rise to 5 requirements of the system: 1.) Standardization -Time and Motion studies -They set a an atom on vibrate IMPORTANT- Who said "Man is the measure of all things." ? Book: Mismeasure of Man August 16, 2013 LT Right - 1/3 wrong (like UPCAT) Working conditions were bad before "Who threw the bomb?" Labor Day May 1 Industrial Revolution Charlie Chaplin Movie 1.) Laborers needed to do everything precisely and in right timin got avoid delays in tasks; Seem like there's no rest 2.) Feeding machine 3.) Corn malfunction "It's no good. It's not practical." 4.) Jobless

[READING] THE THIRD WAVE Characteristics of Industrialization: In the Technosphere (energy system, production system, distribution system): Source of Energy - during Agricultural Revolution: relied on living batteries AKA renewable resources (wind, water, timber, human & animal labor) - during Industrial Revolution: relied on non-renewable resources (fossil fuels, coal, gas, oil) > WHY? Cheaper, releases much more energy Technological Advances - during Agricultural Revolution: relied on necessary inventions (winches, wedges, catapults, winepresses, levers, hoists and of course THE BLOODY PLOW) > amplify human/animal musclepower - during Industrial Revolution: electromechanical machines (moving parts, belts, hoses, bearings, nuts & bolts) > gave technology sensory organs, allowing machines to hear, see, touch w/ greater accuracy & precision than human beings >TRANSCEND THE CAPABILITIES OF HUMAN BEINGS > machines in infinite progression > made machines interconnected through assembly lines > Coal, Textile, railroad, steel, auto manufacturing, aluminum, chemicals, appliances > Rise of big brand companies > identical products == mass production == surplus which can be sold at low prices !! BUT: mass production isnt worth anything until the distribution system is changed Distribution/Market system - during Agricultural Revolution: goods were made by hand, one-by-one on a custom basis; distribution was the same > Trade routes exist (camel caravans, ship convoys) > goods reached customers through small stores/peddlers > limited communications, primitive transport == unsteady & limited supply of items - during Industrial Revolution: MASS DISTRIBUTION; railroads, highways, canals improve transportation > had "places of trade" == first department stores (w/ jobbers, wholesalers, commission agents, manufacturers' representatives > GEORGE HUNTINGTON HARTFORD - vermilion pagoda: first mammothchain store system (The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company) In the Sociosphere:

Family - during Agricultural Revolution: immobile family; large, multigenerational, working together as an economic production unit (AKA joint families) - during Industrial Revolution: family needs to be mobile (follow jobs form place to place) == nuclear families > attacks on patriarchal authority, altered relationships between children and new parents, new notions of propriety. FAMILY NO LONGER WORKED TOGETHER AS A UNIT > education of the child was turned over to schools, care of the aged turned over to nursing homes Education - mostly for children (had a hard time to turn people past puberty into useful factory hands) (Too set in old ways?) - mass education > overt ; reading, writing, arithmetic, history, etc covert: punctuality, obedience, rote - children started school younger and younger; years become longer and longer, compulsory school years increased Corporations - third institution (next to nuclear family & factory-style school) - during Agricultural Revolution: businesses were owned by individual, family, or partnership - during Industrial Revolution: corporations allowed for limited liability; corporations outlived original investors > DEWING: "no one could have conlcluded" that corporation would be main organizational form > 1st corporations - for quasi-public activities (i.e. infrastructure like canals, running turnpikes) Other Social Institutions - followed structure of factory - division of labor, heirarchy, impersonality - art - no more patrons; churned out 'products' for anonymous customers - music - concert halls; box office, impresario (financed production & sold tickets to culture consumers) > salons --> bigger concert halls > chamber music --> symphonic forms > mass production of the phonograph - take home concerts In the Infosphere: Communication - during Agricultural Revolution: only accessible to rich & powerful > when someone NOT rich/powerful tried other means of communication, they were immediately suspect > pertinent information was available from someone near, oral/gestural - during Industrial Revolution: required massive flow of information w/c could not be handled by old means of communication

> need tight coordination of work done in many locations > micro postal systems in large orgs (memos) > telephone/telegraph - communication beyond pen and paper > Mass messaging - mass media; mass manufactured facts/info THE BASIC ARCHITECTURE OF SOCIETY: The techno-, socio-, & infospheres - techno: produce & allocate wealth - socio: role allocation - info: disseminated necessary info to make system work [get ready bc this is where things become Marxist like whoa] SO WHY WAS THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION BAD? - SEPARATED PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION THROUGH ITS PRINCIPLES: - Standardization - Specialization - Synchronization - Concentration - Maximization - Centralization **ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE WERE MODELED AROUND THE FACTORY SYSTEM **POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS (aka government, bureaucracy, idea of nation) rose out of necessity for the second wave economical institutions to function properly **MANAGERS WERE IMPORTANT - as society broke down (due to job specialization, routinary roles, smaller families, rise of professionals, etc), people needed someone to integrate, coordinate & manage them into a functioning system

[Reading] Prerequisites for Industrialization (AKA that pdf file with horrible grammar AKA why Britain totally owned France) - freeflowing capital - labor for industry (abolition of serfdom, adaptability to work in factories) - market for mass-produced goods - raw materials (Translation: Britain had a lot of coal) - transportation (Britain had commerce routes & better foreign transport, France had military routes) - inventors (more profitable opportunities for boffins in Britain) - industrial tradition (France was too set in old ways of high-profit luxury goods) - entrepreneurs (English social values did not look down upon industrial & commercial shenanigans unlike France) - agricultural change - government policies & industrialization (Britain encouraged free trade) - social attitudes towards industrialization (the Englishmen were more open towards it) - technological level & social need **Britains leadership is more qualitative than quantitative [that is where my notes end I am so sorry]
