Robert Owen (Dan Hasan)

Man is the creature of circumstances. Neither man or woman has gone throughout life without hardship. My name is Robert Owen and I am a reformer. I was born on May 14th 1771. Some time ago a revolution started, but this was different it was and industrial revolution. The revolution itself helped people but only in some ways. Factories are crowded, humid, and the wages aren't even satisfactory in my opinion. But the fact of the matter is it gives people jobs. This revolution creates jobs for people who can't feed themselves or their children. The working conditions were not something someone would have with a job in the government, but people take what they can get. It is true that the streets are filthy, and all the smoke and dust from factories create bad conditions. But there are people fighting for this including myself. I feel that workers should have better working conditions. I want to make it so that workers are giving up their lives just to earn a small wage. Changes will come. I guarantee this. Until then workers will have to cope, but remember never argue; repeat your assertion.

    I greatly appreciate your concern in the matter and for trying to make a difference. You are correct that the workers live and work in bad conditions that need to be changed. We work long hours with little pay that can just barley feed our family. We work in a dangerous factory then go home to a smelly and cramped tenement. This needs to change and I'm delighted that someone else see that.
