Compare and contrast the American workplace in industrial America in the late nineteenth century with its counterpart in preindustrial America. What things would a preindustrial worker find most objectionable about the industrial workplace?

What will be an ideal response?

ANSWER
The preindustrial workplace was slow paced, sociable, relaxed, informal, and personal. Labor and leisure were blended as skilled craftsmen labored together in a small shop. The industrial workplace was governed by the clock. Punctuality, sobriety, and discipline were highly valued and expected of workers. Work was highly organized and production was mechanized in large factories. Relationships were impersonal. Workers complained about monotony, danger, and the fast pace of work.
