The industrial revolution did more good than harm. Better working conditions, a more civilized lifestyle, and new technologies came out of the industrial revolution.
The way workers were being treated during the industrial revolution was the thing that ended up getting laws like a minimum wage or safety regulations passed. You could say the industrial revolution was bad because of the way the workers were treated, but in the end, that is what made laws passed so that workers wouldn’t have to be treated like they were during the industrial revolution. In the triangle fire movie, it showed people that died in the fire and how horrible the working conditions and pay were, but at the end of the movie, it showed that labor unions were able to put working laws were to be put in place to protect the workers’ safety and from getting a low pay. This is good because people had to get paid a decent amount wherever they worked, and they were kept safe.
Another thing that came out of the industrial revolution was a more civilized lifestyle. According to the document with the table of statistics on industrial growth, average GNP more than doubled, people moved from farms to cities, less infants are dying, more people graduated from high school, and telephones became popular. This is showing that the average American got richer and more educated.
One of, if not the most important thing that came out of the industrial revolution was all of the new inventions. The document “Timeline of Selected Inventions by Thomas Alva Edison” shows that Thomas Edison made things that we still use today, such as the electric lamp, electric motor, and storage battery. These new inventions contributed to people moving to cities and getting an education. The technology also made life easier. If it wasn’t for the inventions made during the industrial revolution, electricity might not be in use today, or it would at least be set back a long time, so a new technology now might be a telephone instead of a smartphone.
