Can you guys give me some examples of non-political revolutions? They have to be specific and I need to do a project on one in History. Thanks :)

Cultural revolution in the Iran after the Shah was kicked out, lead to books being burned and universities being closed in order to enforce the power of the church.
Industrial revolution in Britain in the 1800's, mass factories built and goods sales abroad. Created billions of pounds of profit for Britain and developed as a major world power in the 1800's as our wealth expanded thanks to new inventions like the steam engine and pump.
Sexual revolution in the 1960's along with the increase in a drug related culture, links back to the Vietnam war and creation of pop music like the Beatles. Also the rise in the 'hippie' movement rejecting old traditions and values. More open expression and sexual experimentation

The scientific revolution through ought the 1500s - 1800s? It brought life to the heliocentric theory (earth rotates around the sun), the theory of gravity, the telescopes, calculus, and more with important figures like Copernicus, Tycho Brahe, Galileo Galilei, and Isaac Newton.

What about the industrial revolution of the700s-1800s?
The Industrial Revolution was a change in technology. It changed the way everyone lived. It made kids work at textile factories and everyday items change. The gun for example.
The gun had changed (in most cases) from using lead ball ammunition to bullets. The first design of a modern bullet was by Captain John Norton of the British Army in 1823. That started it's own revolution, in warfare.

Thanks guys :)
I'll see if those work, but my teacher may very well tell me those revolutions are "too broad" like she told a lot of students. I'm going to try and see if I can do something like the Revolution of Rock n Roll (yes I'll work on the title). Her example revolution was a revolution in cartooning, so I think it's okay to do stuff with music. I'm open for more suggestions too, but I need a project tonight by midnight (hopefully I'll have one sooner though).
