The industrial revolution completely reinvented the factory community.The reason that the industrial revolution was started was to make factories produce more income and a greater variety of products. They did this by making production faster, crowding more people in a workspace, and paying them close to nothing. While the Industrial revolution had some positive effects, it also had many negative effects resulting with problems we are dealing with still today.…

During the Industrial Revolution there was a major shift from all handmade goods in a family setting to special powered machines with certain purposes in a factory setting with mass production. The industrialization also increased the iron and textile industries as well as the development of the steam engine which played central roles during the Industrial Revolution. Industrialization also led people to start to explore new types of government. Even though it affected the lives of thousands of people and the world today, the Industrial Revolution was a beneficial as well as a dreadful experience for some, but it also affected some in both ways.…
The industrial revolution shaped our world. It did bring out new ways of doing things and eventually turned the world into what it is today, but before all of that change happened, in the middle of the industrial revolution is the working class. They worked long hours in dangerous factories for little pay, they came home to tiny tenements that their entire family lived in. Almost everyone in the family would have worked; even the children had jobs in factories or were on the street selling products. While some might argue that Industrialization had primarily positive effects on society because of child labor Laws, it was actually a negative consequence for society. Industrialization’s negative effects were Poor/ Horrible working condition,…
The Industrial Revolution was the quick development of industry during the late 18th and 19th centuries in Britain that was brought about by advances in machinery. This revolution did bring about quicker transportation, cheaper clothes and well-built houses but these benefits are surpassed by the negative effects such as inhumane working conditions, death of workers and an immense amount of people who had to live in slums.…
The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain during the 1760’s where machines were built to create products from the vast resources. Due to Great Britain having an agricultural empire, they had access to more crops. Effects were labor, wealth, and pollution. Although the Industrial Revolution led to progression in global technology, it also caused a demand of labor and money, leading to abusive working conditions meaning that ultimately, it was a period of depression and struggle.…
The Industrial Revolution in Europe was a major shift in economy for higher demands in industrials. The Revolution first started because of the increase in population and the rapid growth in technology. Machines were replacing man’s hands which left many without jobs. This movement then forced people to work in the factories. The issue with that was there were not enough skilled workers to meet demands. The first issue had started within the textile industry. The cottage industries at the time were not producing enough cloth for the growing demands, which was then forced to open Cotton Factories. The fast inventions of the wheel was on the rise to push more production one individual could not handle. With the invention of the first power…

Although the Industrial Revolution had many negative effects such as child labor and poor living and working conditions, the overall long term benefits of urbanization, and the advancement of new technology outweighed the negative. Throughout the Industrial Revolution, which took place between the years 1750-1914, there was a lot of change and growth in America and Europe. Inventions in the area of machinery, and manufacturing and producing goods were created which help us today. Due to advancements in agriculture, transportation, and communication, more goods were produced quicker in a shorter amount of time, more jobs were created and there was more national wealth. The world as we know it would not be the same if the Industrial Revolution had not taken place.…
I think the Industrial Revolution changed things forever. It was a turning point in the U.S. It changed living and working conditions, urbanization, child labor, public health, working class family life, the role of women, the emerging middle class, and economic growth and income. It created an interdependent economic life and made workers reliant on their employers. Laissez-faire doctrines were developed to maximize the use of new facilities. The Industrial Revolution brought the need for government intervention to help protect workers and dramatically changed the nature of production. Machines replaced tools, steam and other energy sources replaced human or animal power, skilled workers were replaced with unskilled workers. The Industrial…

The two most significant social consequences of the 1st industrial Revolution (1780-1850) were the effects on working conditions and urbanization. Working Conditions during the Industrial Revolution were tough as the working class who made up around 80% of society and little to no bargaining power at all. There were no regulations or any governing union to control or maintain a sense of order with working conditions. Urbanization was also very significant as a social consequence. Before the Industrial Industry, over 80%of people resided in rural areas. With jobs and work becoming available, people left the comfort of the country and moved their families to more urban areas where the jobs were vacant. By 1850, more people in Great Britain…
According to Boyer (1990:25) the industrial revolution conveyed great riches to a lot of entrepreneurs who helped set it in motion. For the millions of labourers who crowded into new factories, however the industrial age also brought poverty and harsh living conditions. In time, changes would limit many of the worst abuses of the early industrial age in Europe and the Americans. As living standards increases/improves, people within all different levels of society would benefit from industrialisation. Boyer (1990:25) also emphasises that, until that time, working people would continue to suffer with dangerous working conditions; unsanitary, hazardous, crowded housing and also remorseless poverty.…
The oppressed workers began to form union-like movements that demanded certain things for the workers. Similar movements to Britain’s People’s Charter and Marx’s International Workingmen’s Association led rebellions in several areas that stretched all across Europe. The year 1848 saw the biggest chunk of revolts. Revolutions happened in France, Italy, Britain, and Russia (Hunt 709-715). Europe’s working class was finally pushing back against the middle and higher classes, demanding a more equal society.…
