The Industrial Revolution was a period from the 18th to the 19th century where major changes in agriculture, manufacturing and technology had a profound effect on the socioeconomic and cultural conditions of the world. The Industrial Revolution began in the United Kingdom as large deposits of coal and iron were found throughout the land which brought the rise of factories and machines, the idea then subsequently spread throughout the world. It was perhaps one of the greatest moments in human history, as it gave rise to industrialization and the switch from manpower to machine power. It completely revolutionized the world and forever changed the course of humanity.

I for one believe that the benefits brought upon by the Industrial Revolution justify the negative impacts it had on the world. Without the Industrial Revolution, the world as we know it wouldn’t exist.…

Although the Revolution created many jobs, there were still many people left unemployed. This created a loss of bargaining powers for the employees because if they were to argue that their pay was too low, or any other complaint, the factory owner could easily fire them and hire someone else to take their place (“Effects of the Industrial Revolution”). The common worker had “a 12 to 14 hour day, six days a week, 309 days a year, with only three holidays” (Mack). They were constantly working and had very little opportunity to enjoy free time due to the fact that they were generally tired when they got out of work. Additionally, due to no safety laws, many of the work places were extremely dangerous to be in, especially when rushing around in it. It was very common for factory workers to get injured and possibly killed while working. If a worker got injured, there was no such law as workmen’s compensation and they would generally lose their job because they are not fit to work (“Effects…”). However, the injustice to the common worker did not stop at terrible working conditions but also leaked into their living conditions and home…
