Was it worth the cost?

The Industrial Revolution was. not worth the cost, many bad things happened during the making and things were being taken advantage. A few reasons why I am against the Industrial Revolution is, child labor, pollution, and many work accidents. These did not pay off because many people were taken advantage and plants, trees, and people died. These examples exemplify how the Industrial Revolution was not worth the cost. In a poster Making Human Junk by Lewis Wickes Heins. This poster shows that kids were used in child labor and treated poorly. Instead of making all of the new technology they could of been learning. This also shows that the owners are saying that they have no future and low wages. It might seem that all of this paid off, but think about how many kids did not have an education and were treated poorly. Another example is a Photograph of the Smokestacks by the Detroit Publishing company. This photograph shows how much pollution there was during the making of the new technology. Plants, trees, and animals die from all of the pollution and. Many things can be made from trees and plants and those things can be more efficient than the new technology that we made from pollution and child labor. The last reason why new technology did not pay off was the accident report by the Pittsburgh Survey. The accident report shows that many men died (526). These men risked there lives to make the new technology and it did not pay off. These men lost there lives for new technology and they got low pay like the children and this was a waste of youth and strength. These examples show that the Industrial Revolution had a big negative impact on many things. As you can see, the Industrial Revolution was not worth the cost and people died trying to make this change and the Industrial Revolution had more negative impacts than positive. Some example of why the Industrial Revolution was not worth the cost were, child labor, pollution, and many work accidents. The Industrial Revolution had a big negative impact and did not pay off if the long run.
