Jeremy Bentham (Chris Wright)

Europe's Industrial revolution most definitely did not positively impact all Europeans. First off factory owners would have children working which some weren't strong or smart enough to understand what they were doing ,due to lack of education. They had children as young as 6 years old who would get hurt or might die in these factories and they wouldn't care. They would just replace them. The reason children were working in factories was because these jobs didn't pay enough for the parents, so the children had to help provide. This brings me to another reason the Industrial Revolution didn't positively affect everyone, there were the super rich and the dirt poor. Since farm land was taken away for citizens they had to work in factories, which didn't pay well. The owner's, who were making large amounts of money, weren't paying their workers enough. This also meant that there were large amounts of poor people compared to the rich. So tell me. How is a time when people aren't getting enough money and children getting hurt or killed a positive affect on Europeans?
