Industrial Revolution Did the Industrial Revolution make life better? Introduction: The Industrial Revolution was the beginning to our world today. This Revolution was a time period that introduced new manufacturing processes in the period from about 1760 to sometime between 1820 and 1840. This introduced machines rather than hand production, new chemical manufacturing and iron productions processes, improved efficiency of water power, and the increasing in steam power. This also changed the way to power the factories with coal instead of wood and bio-fuels. The Revolution started in England and then later speeded to Western Europe and the United States. The Industrial Revolution increased the economy and jobs for men, woman, and children.

The Industrial Revolution is the reason why the world works like it does now, present day. The world today is all about mass production and making money and without the Industrial Revolution today would be in a different state than it is today. Decision: Pros: Socially the Industrial Revolution helped by giving the people opportunities. The Industrial Revolution brought more jobs for low income families, and it ideally gave a family majority of its income. It changed our society, creating large cities and the need for public services. These factory jobs weren’t desirable for wealthier people so the lower class worked them. In a sense this boosted the poverty rate because more individuals possessed a job. With fast mass production it lowered prices on items. One invention that really benefited society was the steam boat and train. It helped transporting and trading and expansion of land. Economically the Industrial Revolution helped the society a great deal. With mass production the economy boosted up dramatically. Mass production also increased trade with other countries. The revolution gained an abundant amount of money flow. Likewise it created more jobs for the lower income families and with that the property levels dropped. Environmentally the Industrial Revolution may have been a reason of pollution, however the Revolution helped discover new ideas for new cleaner technology, such as the smog collector and the toilet. Cons: Socially the Industrial revolution affected the society tragically. The factories may have created jobs for everyone however those jobs were dangerous. Many children died or resulted in injuries because the jobs for some children were to fix a machine while it was still running, due to the fact children are small and they can fit in places where an average adult can’t. Also with all the factories it increased population, people became sick and during that period people didn’t have the necessary medicine. Economically the Industrial Revolution due to the popularity of jobs the community became over populated. With over population they job opportunities were shrinking. Environmentally the Industrial Revolution impacted horribly. With all the factories pollution became a big deal. Factories using coal instead of other cleaner resources the towns were filled with black smog. This resulted in a lot of illness affecting the community. Over population also contributed to the environment because an abundant amount of resources were needed. Conclusion: The Industrial Revolution overall did make life better. It may have caused some problems environmentally however this revolution started a whole generation to technology. It made mass production faster. Without the revolution the human race would be much difficult. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">The world today is too modern as of right now. The world should be at a better place in terms of progress, so many different aspects could be helping improve the world. The world has made little progress, a lot more can be reformed and developed.
