Question 2
Question
The people managed the hardships in the industrial revolution using a few methods. Firstly was the cooperative and [blank_start]"Self-help"[blank_end] movement. This was brought out by a group called the "[blank_start]Rochdale[blank_end] Pioneers" in 1854. They set up shops to sell items that were normally too [blank_start]expensive[blank_end]. Eventually this business grew rapidly, and made workers seen as the [blank_start]backbone of society[blank_end] instead of a threat to social stability. Secondly, there was a movement known as the [blank_start]Chartist[blank_end] movement. The Chartists demanded the government pass a new [blank_start]reform act[blank_end], and actively fought for better [blank_start]working conditions[blank_end] for the workers. Thirdly, there were trade unions. These unions were set up but were largely unsuccessful at first. But in 1851, the [blank_start]Amalgamated Society of Engineers[blank_end] (ASE) was set up. Instead of a radical approach, they took a more [blank_start]moderate[blank_end] approach and tried to negotiate with employers.
