Was it Worth the Cost?

I do not believe that the benefits of new technologies from industrialization were worth the costs. Industrialization affected the environment because it caused diseases, and the death of many plants and animals. For example in a poster by Lewis Wickes Hine in 1913-1914 says how kids are brought into child labor. Kids have to work long shifts instead of being regular kids. They don’t get to live a normal life like going to school. It says that they are good material at first but when they go through the process of work  they turn into “junk”.  In addition, industrialization is not worth the cost because they are making these “junk” kids work instead of living a normal life. Furthermore In a photograph taken by the Detroit Publishing company I infer that the smoke that is coming out of the factory will hurt the environment. People, animals and nature get affected by the smoke from industrialization. People can’t see during the day because the smoke spreads and makes it hard to see during the day. Lastly in an accident report in 1916 It says that 526 men were by work accidents. Because of the such bad working conditions and bad equipment people got hurt and even killed from working. In industrialization people get killed. In working you are risking your life. People get these new products from industrialization but on the other hand people die making them.
