Question

1. describe two negative consequences of the industrial revolution on peoples wellbeing.
2. marx and engels communist theories imagined a worker revolution that would lead to a fair and free classless society where wealth and property would be used for the common good. how did mao zedongs policies fail to achieve those goals?
3. how does human behavior affect the outcomes of both capitalist and communist systems? use details and examples from the text to support your answer

Explanation:

1. The Industrial Revolution led to poor - working conditions with long hours and low pay, which exhausted workers physically and mentally. Also, the rise of urbanization due to it caused overcrowded living spaces, spreading diseases and reducing overall quality of life.
2. Mao Zedong's policies were in a different historical context. China was facing unique challenges like poverty and under - development. His policies aimed at rapid industrialization and social transformation. However, factors such as the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution had unforeseen negative impacts. The Great Leap Forward led to inefficiencies in production and food shortages. The Cultural Revolution disrupted social order and economic development, but it is a complex topic with different interpretations and it's inaccurate to say his policies "failed" to achieve the goals as they also made significant contributions like land reform and basic industrialization.
3. In capitalist systems, human greed can lead to exploitation of workers and resources for profit - maximization, as seen in the early days of the Industrial Revolution with poor working conditions. In communist systems, human behavior such as resistance to change or lack of initiative in a planned - economy setting can affect outcomes. For example, if workers are not motivated in a state - owned enterprise, productivity may suffer.

Answer:

1. Poor working conditions (long hours, low pay) and overcrowded urban living (spreading of diseases).
2. Complex factors including inefficiencies in the Great Leap Forward and social disruption in the Cultural Revolution, but also note that his policies had both positive and negative aspects and the term "failed" is a simplistic view.
3. In capitalism, greed can lead to exploitation; in communism, lack of initiative or resistance to change can affect productivity.
