Industrial+Revolution+Impact

= = Discuss the long-term impact of the switch from cottage industry to the factory system.

Summary:




The impacts of the Industrial Revolution are plentiful. The Industrial Revolution was a time where people moved from Rural areas and working in their homes, to living in urban areas (aka Big Cities) and worked in factories. Machines were used and they set the pace for the workers, instead of the workers setting their own pace. This Industrial Revolution eventually led to the Industrial Revolution in the United States. There were many impacts after the Industrial Revolution.


 * Detailed Information:**

The Industrial Revolution's negative impacts were much more damaging than the positive effects that it had on England. Cities where factories were located had become overcrowded. After becoming overcrowded, the pollution from factories had made the cities become unclean and look disgusting. This caused many issues for families. Also, the use of factories led to child labor. Children worked long hours. These children were also beaten if they were any amount of time late. People that did not own clocks left at very early times in the morning. They ended up being very tired people. The people were not payed as much because they were not doing the work themselves. The machines set the pace.

There were some good causes as well. People were more concerned with the time. They wanted to make it to work on time. People were also given paychecks instead of being payed upfront by the merchant. The people were also given three meals a day instead of only one or two depending on how much they got payed. The machines were setting the pace for the workers and they got more work done because it was more productive. Also, trains and water transportation became more prevelant. The waterways became access for many countries to trade. These countries could import goods and export by sailing or traveling. Markets ended up becoming more prevelant because of this.

In conclusion, the bad issues of the industrial revolution were more prevalent than the long term good effects. It is obviously displayed by the facts displayed. The industrial revolution may have helped us make advancements in technology and in conclusion, still made issues for the world that are still prevelant in some areas today.
