So you asked two separate questions, and yet included an "in other words," giving the strong implication that you consider the two to be linked? "In other words" is typically used to rephrase a previous question. If this was not your usage, then I apologize. However, I then have to call you on faulty usage of the English language.
I am your lord and master, of course. I'd consider acting like a bunch of drunken buffoons and living in council houses, thus eating away at the public treasury, to be degenerate activity.
You appear to be extremely confused. The Industrial Revolution preceded the actual industrialization process. The Industrial Revolution is defined as a period within the mid-to-late 18th and early 19th century, wherein many industrial advancements took place. Their implementation largely took place in the late 19th century in Europe and early 20th in North America.
See above. Your definition of the Industrial Revolution is faulty. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Revolution
Who are we to not judge these things? What is wrong with judging these things? National identity is determined by a set of shared, common characteristics. When they change, they tend to do so on a macro level - everyone in the nation partakes in these changes. Thus, these changes themselves become a part of a united national identity.
The Toclaf... err, I mean the Anglo-American team. If I had my way, we'd rule the world for millenia.
