Herbert Spencer (Kenny Shanos)
Yes. I do agree that the Industrial Revolution positively affected all of its people. I believe that technology especially helped the people of the revolution. With new and more advanced technology people can now get places faster. Also, goods can travel much more efficiently and quicker. People in turn can buy items at a lower cost due to the factories that produce so many great items. In addition to factories, railroads were made. I liked the science behind the railroads because they were made out of iron. The production of iron in turn increased and more people were needed. This was great for the people as a group because they work together in the factory to create one product. I believe that the group as a whole is more important than each individual. Therefore, the industrial revolution affected people in a very positive way. From the unison of work by the people to the great achievements that people were able to accomplish, the industrial revolution had a positive impact on all of its people.

London Factory Worker (Brian Gemma)
ReplyDeleteThe Industrial Revolution did affect a lot of people in a positive way, but you must be careful when you say everyone. Everyone involves children, men, and women. All people on Earth. Children were not affected in a positive way. They worked a large amount of hours. After these working hours, they were incredibly exhausted. It is a part of the job to see people get overworked. It is normal for an adult to be exhausted, and it doesn't really make you turn your head. When you see a child it is completely different. They should not be at a factory at all. Being overworked just adds to the negative affect on children. Mr. Spencer, you must be very careful when you use the word everyone.
(Karl Marx) The Industrial Revolution did not affect a lot of people in a positive way. It benefitted the minority, the upperclass, but the lower class citizens suffered. Peasants were forced off their farming land and they worked extremely long hours in awful conditions. These people worked not out of happiness, but out of the will to provide for their families. The Industrial Revolution affected the majority of the people, the lower classmen, negatively.
