...The Industrial Revolution had a significant impact on Western society and the effects were numerous and mainly positive. The Industrial Revolution began in England in the 1790’s and spread throughout Europe and eventually to America. The extensive effects of the Industrial Revolution influenced almost every aspect of daily life and human society in some way. During this time period, widespread transportation such as railroads became available and important for the movement of goods and people. Also, new social reforms came about, dealing with critical issues including that of child labor. In addition, the effects of the revolution resulted in a great improvement in living standards for many people. Although the positive affects of the Industrial Revolution were plentiful, there were also several negative affects concerning the issues of railroads, child labor, and certain living conditions. The railroads built during the Industrial Revolution allowed for widespread transportation to now be available for goods and people. Consequently, the coal burned in train engines created great pollution resulting in an unhealthy and dangerous environment for the people. In addition, as European governments became involved with the creation of railroads, taxes increased resulting in the lower classes experiencing greater burdens. Despite these negative repercussions, railroads were beneficial to society in a variety of ways. Railroads created a way for people to quickly and easily move throughout...

...Child labor was a unhealthy and dangerous place for young children to work in.The cotton factories were full of diseases, and injuries. The streets were usually unpaved ,full of holes, and filthy and strewn with refuse. In the cotton factory they had know gutters or drains so the factory’s were disgusting and filthy. The child labor people did not take care of the streets or their surroundings. There was a doctor named Dr. Ward he has been to plenty of textile mills in his lifetime, his testimony proves that the factories were unhealthy for young children. Even though Dr.Ward stated that the factories were unhealthy, but on the other hand Dr. Holme stated that the factories were healthy, he claimed that 90% of the children were healthy. “The...

...when I was growing up. In 1861 when I was a child we lived in poor little run down shacks of wood on dirt streets with no iceboxes to keep our food from spoiling, we had to keep our food in cellars or in running streams in our back yards. Now a day’s kids ride trolley’s to and from school, but when I was a child we had to walk for miles in the snow, rain, and sometimes violent storms. These kids think they have it bad, well I wish they were around to see what all we had compared to what they have today. The Morse code for example we didn’t have that but they do and they can send messages to people all over the country. They have iceboxes which also mean they have fresh food for weeks. They have running water in the house so no more running to the well to get fresh water. Bathrooms in the house, no more running outside late at night to use the bathroom. The time is changing so much. An industrial revolution is happening right before my eyes. Things are being produced more rapidly and efficiently. Factories are hiring large amounts of workers which means a lot of new houses are being built. There are apartments for people who don’t need houses and large housing facilities for people with large families. Our lives are changing so much that I hardly get to see my wife, I come in from the factory, eat and go to bed to get up early in the morning to head off to work...

...Revolution. This was probably painted around the 1850’s where new working class transformed life into the Western world. Industrial Manchester from Kersal Moor depicts an industrial landscape scene that contrasts both the countryside and industry side. The countryside land has many forest-like trees everywhere and two people sitting on the left hillside looking forward. The industry side has many factories and buildings. This painting seems to be divided into different sections with shades of light and dark colors. The bottom portion is the darker side where most human and animal power works in the countryside. Across the middle, there’s more green grassland and a delightful hill towards the West to the city area. The two people are looking over the beautiful horizon and...

A further $1m will go into a communal compensation pot to be shared among all the 3,600 workers who suffered when the eighth-floor Rana Plaza complex collapsed in April last year’’. This shows that company demonstrated that they took some social responsibility for the community that got terribly damaged, it also showed that the company wanted to improve their community and try and amend for what happened for the families. The company has also compensated by offering the community health care schemes that would include volunteers donating their time and resources people who have concerns with their health but may not have the means to go see a doctor, they are providing necessities like food and water and they are also constructing a brand new factory with a new full ensured structure, it was also said that ‘prior workers have immediately got placement’. This proved to reinvent their reputation because they have taken huge...

...they couldn't make themselves. The industrial revolution got farmers to turn in their gardening tools in for machines that could produce textiles in a matter of minutes or an assembly line that helped make cars in only a few hours. This would then increase the wealth of these families making the poverty rates lower and the average income of the common family go up. But every good thing comes with the bad. With families wanting to be apart of the big industries, food production was decreasing. And many families were hungry. Thankfully farmers started selling their surplus of food at markets which turned into grocery stores that we know today. Just like these grocery stores many families started family businesses that would sell clothes, toys, shoes, or cars added a brand or logo to their export to bring customers coming back to them and creating the brands we know today as common household names such as Nike, Adidas, Tikes, coca cola, Pepsi, Wrigley gum and so on. These companies had major FActories and these factories needed a lot of workers working them. People wanted to live close to their place of work so their daily commute...

...5 December, 2011 Factory Farms: Meatiocre Food When a person is eating a hamburger and thinks about where it came from, he or she probably imagines a healthy cow grazing in a luscious green pasture. Unfortunately, this is the present, and free-roaming animals used for their meat are a thing of the past. Today, a vast majority of the livestock and poultry purchased comes from animals that live in a small space their entire life, and never get to see the light of day. The places that house these tortured animals have come to be known as “factory farms”. In the 1920s, an astonishing discovery was made by a group of scientists – Vitamins A and D. Farmers eventually learned that if they put these two vitamins into the animals’ feed, then exercise and sunlight would not be required for these animals to grow. With factory farmers not having to let their livestock and poultry roam freely, they started to fill up the factory with as many animals as possible, and could keep their businesses running year round. However, with the tightly packed areas, diseases were plentiful. With science constantly managing to find new discoveries, scientists concocted antibiotics specifically for these diseases in the 1940s. Society is quick to jump on somebody when they treat somebody like a piece of garbage, but they simply turn their heads when this happens to animals. Farmers had found a way to increase productivity and lower operating costs and this was by using an assembly line. Basically,...

...occupational comparisons yet regional differences. Document 1 is a map of both countries and their physical locations on earth. Both are island nations and are surrounded by water. Because of their geography both were very independent. Document 2 illustrates a lithograph and a photograph from English and Japanese factories. The manufacture of textiles was critical in both civilizations. The lithograph of workers in England displays power loom mills while Japan’s photograph presents women who are working in a silk-reeling factory. An additional document that would help expand the understanding of Japan and England’s background would be a more advanced point of view on regional advantages and disadvantages to inform the differences in both countries work ethic. In both countries the manufacture of textiles was critical in their rise to power. Documents 3 and 4 portray the age/gender comparisons between not only Japan and England, but as well as the percentages of female and male worker populations. In both nations, the total amount of female workers surpassed the number of men, and the ages ranged from under 16 to over 20. Document 3 details the gender and age totals of silk factory workers. In the English towns of Norfolk, Suffolk, and Essex, the percent of female workers totals 96%, and of that, 53% are females under 16 years of age....

...increasing agricultural production. Combined with new crop rotation techniques and expanding food imports,” the land was given a break and allowed to heal as well as providing more surface area for other industries to advance (Kasa 2008). However, Europe’s environment was negatively altered by many different key aspects of the industrial revolution. The factories and machines were powered through the burning of fossil fuels—like coal—and left soot and smoke to fill the air and to blanket the land and buildings in these industrial cities. The aftermath of burning these fossil fuels—chemicals and carbon dioxide—increasingly polluted the atmosphere as more factories were built and more industries—food, textiles, etc—were being industrialized. Due to human ignorance, the by-products of industrial processes were not disposed of properly, causing waste to pollute the groundwater, rivers, and oceans in Europe. Deforestation was employed excessively to clear space for the factories being built (Murphy, 1996). According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the release of greenhouse gas emissions due to the burning of fossil fuels began in the industrial revolution in Europe and have had a major influence in the Earth’s climate change. With the start of the industrial era, carbon dioxide emissions have increased by 40%. This key fact, accompanied with the deforestation required to have land to build factories on, have caused the Earth to have shrinking “drain” sources for the increased carbon...

...access to food, clothing, shelter and medicine. This improved the lives of many, many people. This surge in material wealth contributed directly to the sustained population growth. Robert E. Lucas, Jr. said, “For the first time in history, the living standards of the masses of ordinary people have begun to undergo sustained growth…Nothing remotely like this economic behavior has happened before.” On the con side of the Industrial Revolution, traditional lifestyles became impractical. Communities were rendered obsolete or useless. Professor Ludwig von Mises noted that the living conditions prior to the Industrial Revolution were deplorable at best, this led the people to embrace the new Revolution. He said, “It is a distortion of facts that the factories carried off the housewives from the nursery and the kitchen and children from their play. These women had nothing to cook with and to feed their children. These children were destitute and starving. Their only refuge was the factory. It saved them, in the strict sense of the term, from death by starvation.” Parents were no less mindful of their children then than they were centuries before. Factory owners could not force children to work in conditions their parents found unacceptable. The influx of population into Britain at this time suggests that the new industrial Britain was an attractive enticement for many people. Children cared for by the government, on the other hand, were sent to the factories and forced...

...Unethical Companies: McDonald’s May 14, 2010 — ethicalfootprint Mostly everyone will enjoy McDonald’s every once in a while, even if you aren’t a fan of fast food. While the food may be cheap, it may come at more of a cost to the environment and the global economy than one might think. McDonald’s has a negative impact on the environment in more ways than one. Aside from the pollution from factories where the food is produced, the unusable waste from nearly all the food they sell, and the massive amounts of power and energy that are required to keep all of the branches up and running, this corporation is destroying natural rain forests. According to http://www.dmoz.org/Society/Issues/Business/Allegedly_Unethical_Firms/McDonald’s/, McDonald’s likes to purchase their meat from privatised farms, which is not a problem in and of itself. The conflict arises when these privatised farmlands are built on the land where a lush rainforest once resided. So not only is McDonald’s polluting our air, but they are destroying a large part of what would help to clean it out. The trees that are levelled do more than just clean the air, though. They are also homes to thousands of animals that are likely killed or made homeless as the trees are torn down. This is not exactly a healthy step in making our world a better place. The people at McDonald’s treat their employees no better than they treat our environment. McDonald’s staff are frequently underpaid for the amount of time that they...
