Many countries and towns industrialize around one industry. Western Europe capitalized on farming demand. Europe specialized in creating machines to make the most of farm production. Allowing farmers to move from substantial farming, or only feeding themselves, to mass production and feeding thousands of people per harvest. This specialization process can also impact small groups of people and even individuals. During the time of Henry Ford and the first assembly lines, a person was signified to a specific task. This task was performed thousands of times during a day and no else in that same assembly line performed such a task. These specific job tasks were early signs of specialization during the industrial age. In our society today, we can see industries and urbanization close to home. We use oceans, machines, and people to industrialize. New York City is a perfect example how industrialization occurs. Its tall skyscrapers and miles of high rise buildings show industrialization at its highest. New York City will remain a capital for industrialization for many years to come. Many people come from different places like tourists to see the industrialization of New York. New York has changed so much since it was created.

What I Learned From Knowing About These People

People during the industrial revolution worked very hard for little pay and were taken advantage of. The people that lived during the Industrial Revolution dealt with lot of change in their lives. They moved from place to place in order to get money and find jobs. They supported their family even though most children weren’t getting an education. That's what most people do in today's world. We learn to adapt to new things and new inventions. Child labor laws should have been passed way before. It was unfair to the children that they were not having an education and being put to work. The children could have had more opportunities in life and more knowledge about life or the world. Everyone should be treated equally. Women were considered to be less than men because men were stronger and could do more than women. Women were “supposed” to stay home with their children, clean around the house, and make babies. The industrial revolution changed the world and if it didn't happen we wouldn't have many things we have today like machines or trains. A new standard for living was formed. The industrial revolution brought many positive aspects and bad aspects to the world.

New Inventions Made During the Industrail Revoultion

The Industrial Revolution changed the world because it changed the way of doing things. New things were invented. One of these inventions was the Spinning Jenny. The Spinning Jenny was a spinning wheel. The Industrial Revolution was a great change for everyone. Later on, men invented things that produced smoke, such as: factories, trains, and subways. These things pollute the air. The Industrial Revolution polluted the air we breathe and also how people worked. It changed how people worked because people had to work by hand before but now they could use factories and spinning wheels (Spinning Jennies) to help them. In 1768, Richard Arkwright invented the spinning frame. The spinning frame could produce stronger threads for yarns. Eli Whitney was the inventor of the cotton gin and a pioneer in the mass production of cotton. The cotton gin removed the cotton seeds easily and quickly so that the cotton could be processed into cloth far more rapidly. It was more productive and more convenient for the people that used cotton. The flying shuttle was created by John Kay. The flying shuttle made making clothes easier back in the industrial revolution. All of these inventions made work easier and more things could be done during a shorter amount of time.

How the Industrial Revolution Changed Human Lives

The industrial revolution changed the Unites States in many ways. Since the steam engine was built new factories were made. When the steam engine was created it provided more jobs. The steam engine was more productive and made machinery much faster to operate. Factories also used to operate their machinery; this was a big impact on the children during this time. Children were taken advantage of because they were young. Nowadays younger adults or teens take any job that’s available because they are willing to make money at a low price. Younger adults and teens want some money in their pockets for college or to support their families. People during the industrial revolution were t risk by working. They were at risk because machinery was not one hundred percent safe. Sometimes the machines would have a default and blow up or the human would do something to put themselves at risk. Since the steam engine was made transportation for people helped a lot. The steam engine made the train. This helped people go to city to city for less the time and much easier then walking. Children during the industrial revolution weren’t paid as much but in today’s world there is minimum wage. Minimum wage is a certain amount of money that people should be paid for working a certain amount of hours.

Daily Life

When the Industrial Revolution started there was no legislation about working conditions in mills, factories or other industrial plants. Factories spread very quickly, the owners of these working places needed lots of workers and they were being cheap with their pay. They wanted to pay them less instead of giving them the money they worked hard for and earned. Children were the ones that were taken advantage of because they didn't know any better. The children weren't educated enough to argue or complain. They were used to squeeze into small spaces that the adults couldn't get between. Children ended up working in all types of industries. Children weren’t attending school because education in the early 19th century was not mandatory and school was expensive. Parents let their children work in mills and factories because it brought money to their family. Now children have Saturday jobs or part time jobs after school. They have jobs to help their family out or to save money for themselves or for college. These jobs are carefully controlled and the government has made laws saying how long children can work and what types of jobs they can and cannot have and what the minimum age for working is.

Industrial Revolution Effecting Farmers

Before the Industrial Revolution almost 75% of British people lived in the country and they farmed. Some people were skilled craftsman. They did all their work by hand. When the Industrial Revolution came about machines were being created. Many farm families went broke because they weren't use to the new machines and they did everything by hand. They didn’t have any money for food or to support their families. Families had to move to from the farms to factory cities. When they moved the whole entire family moved together and they worked in the factories. Even the children worked in the factories. Kids had to work and they weren't going to school even though their education was very important. The people that worked weren’t under good working conditions and weren't healthy. The people working in factories became sick because of the working conditions in the factories. Their bosses couldn’t care less; they just wanted the job done so they can make their money. They had to work about 18 hours a day. The machines did all the work and humans just controlled the machine, telling it what to do. Machines were replacing humans and this was something new when the industrial revolution started.

Working Conditions in Canada

The 1900’s were a depressing time and a time that was very hard and difficult for people who were working. Average wage earners would be stuck working at the same place, doing the same job for the rest of their lives. Living conditions were bad and poor, things were even worse for the immigrants who were coming to Canada. Only the rich could have the expensive accommodations for those long journeys. Many jobs were available to most people but people were under constantly checked up on while working and they would have to be willing to do anything the boss wanted. The rich maintained their wealth mostly because of the low taxes. In the 1900's horses were parts of everyday life. People during this time used them for many things. Hearse was pulled by horses to the cemetery when somebody died. Farmers used horses to help on their farms. They pulled the farmers ploughs and town dwellers also used them to move around the towns. Horses pulled delivery wagons for businesses. They also pulled fire engines through the streets in case of a fire emergency. The bicycle was accepted by Canadians because it was easier to get around and it was compared to a horse. The bike was an alternative for transportation. The bicycle also showed that people were willing to learn about new things/inventions.
