Was it Worth it?

I don’t believe that the benefits of new technologies were worth the cost. Communities and wildlife were being affected variously because of these new technologies. Wildlife was effected so atrsosciclouly, that plants animals were killed because the coal miners transferred a certain chemical into streams. When animals and plants would absorb water from the streams there live’s would be put on the line. This incident destroyed ecosystems and killed many plants and animals. In the photograph taken by Detroit Publishing Company (1890-1901) you can see the air consuming smoke which is transferring into the ecosystem and is taking plants and animals lives. Even though these factories are making technology and inventions it’s not fair that these factories are sabotaging the ecosystems and the environment. Plants and  animals should not be treated this way, because without them we would not be here today so, the people then, should have evaluated the situation differently and should have give the plants and animals the respect and appreciation that they deserve. In addition to that, in the poster Making Human Junk the photographer Hine, Lewis Wickes (1913-1914) decided to include that the children had ” No future and low wages” the poster also included that the children lives where “Junk”. This is affecting kids lives and proving that child labor is awful.This is convincing people that when children start to work their whole lives just turn into “Junk” and that they will have no future. Even though technology is so helpful and useful it was not worth the coast of kids lives turning into garbage and kids feeling like they don’t mean anything. Lastly,in the Accident Report it explains that 526 men were killed from the end of June in 1906-and the beginning of July 1907 in Pennsylvania.So many lives were lost during this time period just from people doing their jobs. People lost their lives and family members because of the new technology's. This proves that the benefits of technology's where not worth the coast because hundreds of people died during the industrial revolution and these people were only there to help. It was not fair to the people who worked there butt’s of day in and day out got killed by doing their job. The industrial revolution caused problems in the environment and the society and really messed up people’s lives and that’s why I think the benefits of new technologies were not worth the coast.

Was the Price Right?

The benefits of the Industrial Revolution was not worth the costs. One reason that made the Industrial Revolution not worth the costs was because of pollution. Since many new types of technology was invented during the Industrial Revolution, likewise, there had to be more factories, which meant more people working, and not just adults. Kids as well were hired to work in sweatshops and factories, and because the kids had to work to keep their families alive, they never got any education, which later in life lead to bad and low paying jobs, which is why on this poster, it says that kids are turning into “human junk.” they were in conditions that could kill their fragile bodies, while at the same time, they got an even lower pay! Which now leads us to pollution. Another horrible cost of the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution created so many new types of technology, but new technology meant more factories. And more factories meant more pollution. The pollution was taking over the air, making it harder to see, spreading many different kinds of diseases, and causing many deaths. The new technology wasn’t worth taking many people’s lives away from them, when they were working all day, some of the night and having to starve. And aside from humans, pollution also affected the environment. Pollution eliminated oxygen from the air, which wasn’t just the cause of humans dying, but animals too. Many animals died because of this pollution. When animals drank from the streams,they could drink something that may have contaminated the water, and die. For example, one animal species may go extinct, leading to the whole food chain collapsing, and possibly less food for humans to eat. The benefits of the Industrial Revolution was not worth the costs that the people had to pay for it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Total war and seige is this fair

Total war consists of two main details: one, burn everything so your opponent can't use it and two, take all the food and things useful to you. This was used by a Union General  William Sherman. This is super unfair and cruel because in the process of total war they  killed so many people and you should not be able to take others food and burn their stuff down. Siege is also wrong because you surround and then you don't let supplies enter the city or town. These are both wrong war tactics they are not good for the people. These are not fair war tactic no matter what.
