Feedback in Goals

My first goal was to get an A- without getting any extra credit, well at the moment I have an A- and without any extra credit so I guess I'm achieving that goal right now but usually my grade goes down towards the end of the quarter so in the end it might not.

My other goal was to improve my descriptive writing skills because personally I'm not that good of a writer, I can't really tell whether I've grown as a writer in one month, but my the end of the year, if I'd ask you, you'd probably let me know.

"Mr. Coyle's Stock market in the 1870's"

I thought the stock market was really cool because it tought us how investors would have felt when their money really got lost, but also when there money doubled or trippled. Also how a free market works. You put us in a panic zone when you said that the first person would get a A+, sacond A, third,A-, fourth B+ and so on, because we knew there would ba a mojority of students that would have gotton a C or below. So I guess it worked out pretty well!

What is the “net effect” of the Industrial Revolution?

There are a bunch of pros and cons towards the "net effect" of the Industrial Revolution,

Pros
1. The Machines let the human hand rest for a while.
2. It let some of the poor people earn some money to eat
3. When the IR went to America, the cost for transporting goods from one factory to another got canceled out, since they were together.
4. Made production faster and could get more of it.

Cons
1. Alot more laborers were fired since they had no more work to do.
2. When the IR went to America, there would have been major arguments between England and the US
3. When inventor might invent something they would get competition, the invisible hand and would argue.
4.This might cause a world war because both England and USA were major countries in the trading world.
