Was it worth the Cost?

I do not believe that the benefits of new technologies from industrialization were worth the costs because of three main reasons that I will show you right now. Child labor had a big impact on the industrial revolution. In a poster by Lewis Wickes hines, it shows how children needed to work instead of getting an education at school. It is a sickening feeling thinking about all of those kids not getting an education just to work and get little pay. In addition to this, an accident report made by Crystal Eastman in 1916 shows how just one factory that killed 526 men. These men got killed for just going to work. Men are putting their lives on the line for doing just a simple thing like weaving threads and other stuff like that. Also, pollution was worse than ever in the U.S. In the photograph made by the Detroit Publishing Company, it shows how bad pollution really was made from factories. People couldn’t see in the middle of the day so they needed streetlights just because of the pollution from the factories. Overall, I do not think that the benefits of new technologies from industrialization were worth the costs.
