Positive effects of the industrial revolution:
- It sped up production of goods
- There were more goods to choose from
- Factories were built and the amount of the produced increased
- More ideas, and material, and interchangeable parts (by: Eli Whitney)
- Education for children who can afford it
- More jobs, if not all pleasant
- Shelter
- Increase in pollution
- Population increased, which means more people who need shelter, food, water and jobs
- Children and women started to do all the hard work
- Lower payment for hard work since so many people had to be payed now ( children and women often didn't get payed at all if the men in their family worked for the same company. If that was that was the case, only the men got payed at all, but still not very much.)
- Poverty increased
- People didn't care about the meat packers, miners, weavers, etc. because immigrants like them came in everyday, and so they were easy to replace, "get a new horse," as Janik's teacher in the movie said
