Reflection Topic 3

Did the Industrial Revolution affect the way people lived and worked in the 19th century for the better or the worst?

Explain your answer by providing examples.
_____________________________________________________________________

I believe that the Industrial Revolution affected the way people lived and worked in the 19th century for the better as it provided us to produce large amount of clothes. People could only produce clothes for themselves, this meant that if they need to produce a lot of clothes to provide themselves with enough clothes everyday.
As one of the Industrial Revolution, steam engine, was produced, many factories were built and it provided more job oppourtunies.
Although it created material wealth, people were able to wear clothes without spending days on producing the clothes.
Thus, it produced better future although accidents happened at times.

Weapons have been invented, not during the time of industrial revolution, but earlier than that. weapons were invented at first for hunting. so, there was a purpose at first.
