A good positive aspect of the late 19th century industrial boom was that having more businesses create more jobs for the people, it also allowed people to create inventions to help industry’s and regular people. Like the railroads created jobs for the new immigrants that were coming over from Ireland and China. The steel industry helped the people in pittsburgh find work to support their families.

In the latter 19th century, a second wave of technical and organizational advances carried industrial society to new levels” (Document 3). As industrialization grows, people are inventing more and

One group of these people, the Luddites, disliked the industrial revolution because they felt like their jobs were being threatened by these new factories that were popping up. The way that these people went about protesting was to say the least not the right way. They killed many people and even wasn't as far as to raid factories and kill innocent people. The Luddites weren't the typical citizen who just went along with all of the new technological advancements, they were more of the

A colossal bulk of the population left rural areas, as agriculture lost its value to society and factories were the norm of work. The rapid urbanisation engendered many predicaments including unemployment, decline in the standard of living and hostile working conditions e.g hostile working conditions “poor ventilation, over-crowded, and safety hazards”

The industrial revolution was a crucial step that led to our modern day society that we have today. During the industrial revolution, there were many new advances in technology that helped better the lives of many people. Although the revolution had some consequences, the development of new technology that came from this time period was important. Some of these inventions include John Kay’s Flying Shuttle Loom, James Hargreaves’s Spinning Jenny, Richard Arkwright’s Water Frame, Samuel Crompton’s

only because they were rich before it began. The working-class, however, became even more unfortunate as the era went on and were forced to become factory workers or miners. These men, women and children all faced harsh environmental factors, including the new technology of advanced machines and a shift in their family lifestyle.

hours the people had to work in those harmful polluted factories. Child Labor accrued a lot during this time period. This was very common for children to be doing. In document 10 a picture shows the long fatigued faces of children working. These children had to work long hours and were very tired. Kids did not even have time to go to school during the day to get the education they needed. Pollution wasn't much of a concern then because these factories were somewhat of a new thing. In

laborers lived within the factories. Despite this common practice, the majority of people were given no living quarters and slept where they worked. This exposed them to unsafe fumes and unhygienic spaces. Within the twelve-hour shifts, a total one and half-hour break was given each day to workers of all ages. Such difficult working and living conditions take a toll on the human body, as a result many individuals died because of the factory work. Furthermore, a great deal of factories were not up hygienic
