 * 23.** Recent inventions have changed our daily lives because now we can stay "connected" to our friends and family even when we’re away from them.


 * 24.** Two visuals that reflect the impact of industrialism on America was 1. Technology because it was so big then that it could only become larger in which it did and still is. 2. is monopolies and oligopolies. They help give the industries and companies more competition and gives new meaning o the way economics are ran in America.


 * 25.** The government both liked and accepted industrialism because it was a new way for the nation to get money. Plus the companies them selves had to put so much back in to the country.


 * 26.** Social Darwinism reflected the new challenges because it brung up the point that there really shouldn't be a lot of competion and it disapproved the government trying to protect the workers.


 * 27.** In order to achieve the main goal of labor unions they would have to over come the differences in opinions between the government, the people and the employers. The union tried to get shorter work days, better pay and better working conditions.
