Discuss the benefits and downsides of the increasing division of labour through human history, but especially during and after the Industrial Revolution (i.e., since about 1750s).
Only 500 words and I need some citation. Don't need to be in good format, but have to give the information of where the ideas come from. Your answers should be well-written, well-organized arguments based on the course material and existing theories and facts (i.e., this is not an opinion essay as usual – it’s fine to give your opinion as a conclusion only insofar as it’s supported by research, facts, and logical arguments). Your answer should also reflect the application of your ‘sociological imagination’ to the issue at hand and, if it’s a pros/cons argument should not be one-sided.
