Chapter 19: Immigration, Urbanization, and the Transformation of Popular Culture and Everyday Life, 1860-1900

During this chapter, it explained the increasing population growth in the cities. The cities thrived with more live and diversity; poor and rich classes lived in the cities during the 1830's. Each class started having their own culture within their own society during this Victorian age. I found it interesting how the middle class played roles for each gender. The men in the middle class had to work while the women had to be intellectually cultured with each other. It made sense that they would to portray a role in their society and they wanted to more cultured and connected by new traditions. Education started becoming a major priority by the 1900. Universities started becoming the collegiate landscape and medical education was improving a lot. I find this part intriguing; with my major being a nursing/biology, I like how education started improving in the medical field because it would be more efficient each time. I like how everything was improving over time and this was the time for innovation. Inverting to different ideas was coping into different matters and over time was still the recreation and similar ideas with different beliefs.
