Paper topic determined

I have finally decided on a general topic for my History 2222 course. It will have to be narrowed down further after I have done more research, but here are some of my initial thoughts. I will focus on the effects of the industrial revolution in Victorian England during the middle part of the 19th century. I was thinking I might look at the development of labour laws, which protected the rights of the burgeoning working class or perhaps the role state funded education played in pumping out component persons who would become a part of the machinery of society.
