Industrial Revolution: Killer or Keeper?

IN the article “human Junk” by Lewis Wickes Hines shows that children are “good material” at first, but then they are put though “the process”, which is working in a factory. Then they come out of the factory “junk, ” with no future and low wages.
This shows and reveals the effects of the industrial revolution on children. This lead to human accidents.

In tan accident report by Crystal Eastman, He talk about how there “is no bright side to this situation.” He states that “allegheny County [in the Philadelphia area] lost “500 workmen every year, of whom nearly half were american born,  70 per cent are workmen of skill and training, and 60 percent have not reached the prime in their working life.” This also shows that industrialization is a killer. The environment is affected as well.

In the article “polluting the environment,” it states that “air pollution became so heavy that people needed streetlights to see during the day.” THi shows that the pollution and industrial revolution has a negative impact. This also shows that pollution was so bad the the sun was blocked. These sources combined shows how the industrial revolution was not only negative, but it ruined the earth.
