Definition1/16
Lord Macartney compromised with the Chinese by offering the same
respect as he gave his own King, George III, the Chinese accepted
that offer, and historians should accept that compromise in the
spirit in which it was offered and accepted. This question by its
phrasing implies that Lord Macartney should have forgotten who he
represented, that is, King George III, and treated Emperor
Qian-long according to China's limited idea (at the time) of its
position in the world. King George III had a different idea of the
potential relationship between Great Britain and China from that of
Emperor Qian-long.

Definition1/16
The industrial revolution began in England in the middle of the
18th century. The there were both positive and negative results
concerning this new economic age. Speaking to the question
regarding negatives of the industrial revolution there were many.
And, the ones outlined here in England were similar to ones that
occurred in other nations as the industrial revolution began in
those countries. Due to various landowner friendly laws, many
people left farming to find work in the factories in the larger
cities. In the early years of the industrial revolution, the
factory workers became completely dependent on the factory owners
for their jobs and income. This dependency brought with it
hardships for the workers. Wages were low and barely enabled
workers to buy food and find adequate housing. The working day was
extremely long, working hours of up to sixteen hours per day were
not uncommon. Child labor became necessary for families to survive.
The inherent problem with this aside from its cruelty was that
factory owners were able to pay children less than regular workers
causing additional social problems.
Factories were unsafe, dimly lighted and work related accidents
were common. And, as new technologies emerged, fewer workers were
needed causing unemployment.
