Industrialization's positive effects were child labor laws, new inventions and especially the concept of mass production. One of the most influential and long lasting effects were the development of child labor laws.…

The analysis you made is most agreeable. Although with the gilded age came a lot of immigrant population that were willing to do general labour in factories for a little amount of money, it also helped the technology advancement to a certain extent.

As a result of that, more people could establish a relatively stable income for their families, and therefore more people would better life experience and opportunity in America. Having said that, there was certainly a negative side to it too; and not all workers were happy about their working conditions.…

Journalist and author, Edward McClelland, writer of “RIP, the Middle Class: 1946-2013”, clearly believes that the American middle class is dying and that it should not happen. McClelland states “For the majority of human history—and in the majority of countries today—there have been only two classes: aristocracy and peasantry” (McClelland 550). He asserts that the middle class that flourished following the end of World War II has diminished since America’s first Great Recession in the 1980s and that our federal government is to blame for the decline because it withdrew its supervision of the economy and allowed global free trade (McClelland 550-555). He promotes his idea of the middle class through examples of its prime time when middle class thrived.…
