Industries


Industries are groups of organizations, classified by the type of goods or services they provide. These are here categorized as Medical and social, Commercial and financial, Communication, Transportation, Building and construction, Energy and manufacturing, and Agriculture. This varies somewhat from the United States Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Standard Industrial Classification (SIC), but this does serve as a useful guide.

Science including physics, chemistr, astronomy, earth science, and biology can be connected fairly closely to industries. Personal studies includin the human body, psychology, and biography can be connected. Anthropology including social foundations, demography, human ecology, physical anthropology, human ecology, human geography, and particular groups can be examined. Industries depend heavily on culture including material culture and conceptual culture. Behavioral culture including customs, occupations, recreation and entertainment, and cultural events can be connected. .	Links to other sites: US Govt -OSHA Standard Industrial Classification
This is connected to families and education. Other areas of economics including economic activities are vital. Economic systems including firms, networks, economic system types, and system behavior are connected. Government including law, governent structure, government activity, and particular governments can be connected. Religion including religious beliefs, religious organization, religious practice, and particular religions will be useful. Sociology Social structure and change including social structure, social types, and social change will be useful. Communities such as Tokyo, Seoul, Mexico City, and New York City will also be explored. Peoples of the world including African peoples will give examples of industries. Analysis using particular nations such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, Russia, Nigeria, Japan, Mexico, and the Philippines will be helpful. Western Civilization including Brazil is important. Anglic peoples such as those of the United States are important Asiatic peoples such as those of Indonesia are important. South Asian peoples including those of India can be considered. Oriental peoples including those of China are important. American Indian peoples such as those found in the United States and Brazil are less directly useful. History The history of industries begins in prehistory and continues through antiquity. They can be followed through classical and medieval times, including early classical, late classical, early medieval, and late medieval times. In modern times, they have expanded substantially. In the 16th century, sea transportation expanded substantially, as oceans which had been barriers instead became highways. In the 17th century, events are not entirely clear, nor are they in the 18th century. In the 19th century, the industrial revolution transformed almost all industries. These changes can be followed through the early 19th century, early mid 19th century, mid 19th century, late mid 19th century, and late 19th century. In the 20th century these changes have continued. Their development in the early 20th century, early-mid 20th century, mid 20th century, late mid 20th century, and late 20th century down to the early 1980s, late 1980s, early 1990s, and late 1990s can be examined, and certain development of the early 21st century including the early 2000s and late 2000s can also be followed. Recent and current events of the late 2000s including 2006, 2007, and 2008 can be examined. Their future is obscure.
