Summary of the text
American people have always been moving from one place to another throughout the history of their development. 250 years ago, they first moved from the East Coast to the west, seeking mew land. Then the Industrial Revolution led to the movement from the country to the growing cities because people wanted to get new jobs and more comfort, but ten when the cities got too crowded, people began moving to the suburbs, as a result, these people either take up jobs in the suburbs or move daily between the suburbs and the city. However, today some Americans are mobbing back to the cities, while others are ready to move to the county.

Its main social impact was that it changed an agrarian into an urban industrial society. The historical term Industrial Revolution can be applied to specific countries and periods of the past, but the process know as industrialization is still going on, particularly in developing countries. Since industrialization makes possible long-term increases in production and income, economists seeking to create in developing countries a process similar to the one that first occurred by accident in 18tb –century Britain have carefully studied the Industrial Revolution.
