The industrial revolution has played a huge role in society, both then and to this day. It provided new products, a faster pace of production, and more goods. However, there have also been negative effects that do not go unnoticed. With long hours of work, including child labor and strain, it brought deformities and diseases. Along with these terrible aspects of industrialization, there were also disgusting living and working conditions. But, all thanks to new inventions and other impacts on society, this era had a positive effect. While some might argue that industrialization had primarily negative consequences due to child labor and unsafe working and living conditions, it was actually a positive thing for society. The positive effects of industrialization were the introduction of large quantities of goods, faster production, and new inventions. First of all, I firmly believe that industrialization had a mostly positive impact thanks to all the new inventions it brought. Before this era, the community had to build things with their bare hands and transportation was extremely limited. For example, before the invention of railways and steam, we would have had to rely on natural light; we would not have books, nor computers, nor electronic devices in general, we would be forced to walk everywhere. Basically, the positive effects of an industrial revolution far outweigh the negative ones. Yes, a considerable number of casualties due to the difficult past, but times have improved immensely since then. For example, during the 1800s, the average lifespan of a man was forty to fifty years, while today it is approximately seventy to eighty years. Thanks to the positive effects of the industrial revolution, today we have more than enough clothing, a stable living environment, and famine is a threat.
