London Factory Worker (Janae Walker)
Europe's Industrial Revolution impacted all of its citizens negatively. The conditions in factories were horrid. Nobody cared about how their workers were treated. It's like none of us were human. The hours were long, 12 to 16 hours six or seven days a week, and filled with dangerous work. People were fatigued and accident prone. They might lose their, finger, limb, or even lose their live do to working in a factory. Those who worked in textile mills would breath in lint and damage their lungs. When injured or sick, they would loss their jobs without compensation. When the working day was done, many would go home to a cramped, foul-smelling, and egregious tenements. The factory and living environment was appalling. Ergo, Europe's Industrial Revolution impacted it's citizens negatively.

I strongly disagree. The Industrial Revolution impacted most of Europe's citizens positively. Although conditions are not the most ideal, you have a job that gives you enough money to live. You are better off than some people around the world. People should start feeling thankful that they have a job and that this revolution has opened up so many job opportunities.
ReplyDeleteYou say that you do dangerous work but you are also getting paid a wage. You are doing labor for money.Yes the work conditions aren't always the best, but there people like me (Robert Owen) that worked to fix the working conditions. This revolution gave you a job and helps you put food on the table. You shouldn't be complaining you should be thankful.
