no, money during industrialization was not worth the cost.

  The Industrial revolution did have a big impact on our country, but if you dig just a little bit deeper was it worth it. I think the industrialization wasn’t worth the tons of money that was spent. Poster by Lewis Wickes in 1913 to 1914, Making human junk supports about how industrialization is bad because it’s facts support the process from when young children start out looking good at first, but throughout it all, children were used of for their work. Human Junk poster showed the big impact of child labor. Likewise, The image of Smokestacks by Detroit Publishing Company in 1890 to 1901 purpose is to show what industrialization did to the environment and due to all the polution put in the air, more money was spent. This I feel is unnecessary. Lastly, “The pittsburgh survey” written in 1916 shares the reasoning behind it all about the accidents that happened during the time of the industrial revolution. In addition, since accidents were caused, it made less people want to work and therefore shares and shows why spending all of the money in the industrial revolution was not worth the cost. For these reasons shared from Making Human Junk, The Photograph of factory smoke, and the Accident report, I therefore conclude that I don’t think spending the money wasn’t worth the costs.

Was it worth the cost

I believe that the benefits of new technologies from industrialization were worth the costs. In the coming our way ad People find more writers and more helpful than ever people demanding typewriters. This industry is a new way of making money and jobs are found for people that are jobless. In addition it was very efficient to companies for writing papers with the typewriters. in the interview technology is growing and making everybody surprised they have so much new products for what we have today. In the kids on bikes, Industry's making more stuff more than ever. The bikes make the hard working kids have fun with bikes.

Was it Worth the Time, Effort, and Money?

The benefits of the new technologies were worth the cost. At that time writing was the only way to have contact with other people other than talking. They had typewriters back then but when a new and improved faster typewriter came it helped people with business, and faster communication. It helped business by working quicker and more efficient instead of a typewriter that went slow. With a faster typewriter it made things go quicker so that people had less work to do. If there was an emergency people would send letters. Imagine if you had twice as much of speed it would go a lot quicker.

On the other hand new innovation brought enjoyments for people. In a Detroit Publishing Company, a photo with kids pose with their new bicycles and tricycles. With the innovation that happened people got new enjoyments and got to explore the outside more.

As a society people had to walk everywhere. There was no way to get around other

than horses. At one point people decided they wanted cars. In the Harry Reece

article, he was blown away about how you can get around by electricity.

This helped the society by getting to places quicker whenever you want. In addition, it

helped people get to work, or go see other people. Likewise it helped people do daily

chores and or activities.

Was it worth the cost of death

The Industrial Revolution was worth it because one generation of people were worth many generations of new tecnology.In the interview Harry Reece is amazed at the new technology in the city like the trolley car. The interview shows that the industrial revolution had many great new inventions that were worth the cost of child labor and pollution. Harry Reece thought that the new trolley car invention was breathtaking and it was. Even though they might have been made with child labor it was worth it. THe trolley car affects people because it is a faster way of traveling. This will cause people to be able to go to places quicker than walking. Another example of the industrial revolution was worth it was that many of people got the technology in their own home. Like the kids in the photo. These kids have bikes. To have a bike is a new means of transportation for everyone. So this affects people as well because it is also a new way to travel so people can get places faster. THe last example of the industrial revolution being worth it was the typewriter add which was good for businesses who sold typewriters because they would get more money for the type writer. The typewriter add was to advertize the technology so that people will buy it from the company. These were reasons why the Industrial Revolution was worth the cost.

Industrialization- Not Worth the Cost

The benefits of new technologies from industrialization were worth the costs. According to the article “Polluting the Environment,” power plants, steel mills, and factories produced so much pollution. The pollution became so heavy that cities needed streetlights in order to see. This shows that industrialization was polluting the environment, causing many problems. It was unhealthy to live with polluted air, so therefore many people got sick. Because industrialization was harming the environment, it was not worth the cost. In a poster illustrated by Lewis Wickes Hine (1912-1914), children are doing labor in factories instead of playing and going to school. In child labor, the children don’t get any freedom and are abused. The poster shows how the children are at first, and the effect. The effect is that they look miserable, and they are very dirty. The photographer was trying to show the impact of child labor. This shows that people were taking advantage of children. In this case, industrialization was not worth the cost. An excerpt written by Eastman Crystal (1916) shows how industrialization was not worth the cost. Multiple men have lost their lives in industrialization during work accidents. According to accident report it states, “By industrial accidents, Allegheny County loses more than 500 workmen every year.” This shows how many accidents are caused in the factories and work areas and how many people are affected by this. Industrialization was not worth all these men's lives lost. For these reasons, industrialization was not worth the cost.

Was it Worth the Cost?

I do not believe that the benefits of new technologies from industrialization were worth the costs. New technology was not worth the cost because of child labor, pollution, and accidents, caused through industrialization. A photograph by Lewis Wickes Hines (1913-1914), informs society on the impact of child labor. Employer’s lure children with high wages in exchange for work. As the children work they grow bored, dirty, and tired and their wages are lowered, resulting in human junk. Likewise, when factories grew as the industrial revolution continued, pollution swarmed the skies, killing plants and animals, and people could only see during the day with help of a street lamp. The pollution produced from factories also caused diseases such as typhoid fever. The constant increase of pollution also harmed pure water springs, waterfalls, and swamps. Also, an article by Crystal Eastman (1916), explains that 526 men were killed through work accidents and over 509 men were put in hospital because of severe injuries. These men were working in factories to support their families and when they died, what were their families supposed to do? The industrial revolution was not worth losing lives. These men didn’t deserve to die through work. In conclusion, industrialization was not worth pushing children through child labor, pollution, and accidents. I do not believe that the benefits of new technologies from industrialization were worth the costs.

Was Industrialization Worth The Terrible Costs?

I strongly do not believe that industrialization was worth the costs. There were many terrible costs of industrialization. In particular, the article “Polluting the Environment” informs readers of how ecosystems and cities lost many innocent lives from just industrialization. In the second paragraph of “Polluting the Environment,” the article tells us that iron sulfates were produced by chemicals from coal mining, which were the cause of death of plants and animals in the surrounding areas. In cities with poor sanitation, typhoid fever and other diseases spread throughout the city due to sewage entering the water supply. So far, we’ve learned that industrialization killed animals and spread dangerous diseases. The report “The Pittsburgh Survey,” by Crystal Eastman, includes facts and numbers on the impact of industrialization and how it took too many lives of men from work-accidents. It states that 526 men were killed in work-accidents from July 1, 1906-June 30, 1907. The text proves that industrialization was the cause of one too many deaths. To add on to that, Making Human Junk was a poster made by Lewis Hines (1912-1914) about the process of turning children into “junk.” Making Human Junk informs others on how industrialization has stripped the chance of freedom and education from children and ruined their future. It ruins their future because during the time they spent in the factory working is time taken away from being in school. When they grow older they won’t have a basic understanding of anything except factory work, which would be useless to them because you don’t make much money from working in a factory. So to conclude, industrialization wasn’t worth the cost because the amount of lives lost, the diseases spread, and the children who were forced into child labor.
