It Wasn't Worth it!

I strongly believe that the benefits of new technologies from industrialization were worth not the costs. Child labor, pollution, and injuries/deaths have all been outcomes of industrialization, and this proves why I feel that the benefits were not worth the costs. According to Making Human Junk, it shows how they are making the kids work instead of having an education and a normal life. It shows how industrialization is bad, and children are suffering and unhappy. Although these new technologies might be useful to have, children are suffering and working constantly which is unfair to them. To add on, in the excerpt the Accident Report, it explains how hundreds of men were injured and killed by work accidents throughout 1906-1907. Industrial accidents were happening constantly and it was not worth badly injuring/killing people only because of new inventions. Lastly, the photograph of factory Smokestacks in New York shows factories producing pollution. The pollution shown in the image is spreading and damaging the air, causing harm to not only people, but trees, plants, and animals too. I feel that industrialization was not worth the price because it is harming the earth, which is more important than new inventions. Overall, I feel that there were many things that were not worth the costs of new technologies.
