Question

1. how did consumerism support the industrial revolution?

people who believed in consumerism demanded changes to the way factories were run, leading to more efficient processes.
people who participated in consumerism understood the value of a dollar and were more willing to invest in factories.
peoples desire to buy more and more goods and services increased the profit to be gained through industrialization.
people were less willing to commit crimes since they could finally buy things, which made industrial cities safer.

Explanation:

Consumerism centers on the desire to purchase goods. During the Industrial Revolution, this growing demand for more goods created higher potential profits for factory owners, incentivizing further industrialization, expansion of production, and investment in manufacturing. The other options do not align with the core link between consumerism and industrial growth: consumerism did not focus on factory efficiency demands, direct factory investment, or reducing crime.

Answer:

People's desire to buy more and more goods and services increased the profit to be gained through industrialization.
