Was It Worth the Cost

Industrialization had to many negative affects on society and environment so it was not worth the cost. Showing in the photo “Making Human Junk” the young kids are shown as good material and normal. But when the kids come out of these smoky dirty factories they are shown as “Human Junk”. The kids turned from normal and good material to dirty sacks of smoke. Showing in the photo “Factory Smokestacks” smoke pours out of the new factories into the clean fresh air slowly polluting it bit by bit. With all this smoke and pollution, people needed streetlights to see in the day through all the smoke .According to the article “Industrial accidents in Pittsburgh” over 500 men were killed by in-work-accidents in Allegheny County over three months. These accidents didn’t show that working was dangerous but that industrialization was dangerous. This evidence shows that industrialization wasn’t worth the cost.
