The Social Effects of Industrialization

The Industrial regeneration began during the 1700s in Great Britain. This was mainly due to the large stuff production during this eon. The grow in textile production was because of the increase in the demand in the wool and cotton industries. New machines were do to alleviate control these demands. But, because the new machines couldnt fit within the homes of the people like previous times this led to the get-go of Textile mills. But as these mills became more than involved and advanced the lives of the workers became harder and much less honorable in the working environ handst.Great Britain was the ideal situation to begin the Industrial Revolution because it received raw materials from the colonies, mercantilism was encouraged because of political stability, and their shipping was defended and protected by the worlds most powerful navy. Due to all of this, the brass supported business, agriculture, and other factors the contributed to production. Plus, during this time i n history thither was a substantial increase in the population of Europe as well. The first factories were powered by water mills but last these were replaced with steam engines that were improved by James Watt in 1763.After this improvement there were other inventions that were made as well. The cotton gin, invented by Eli Whitney, removed the seeds from the cotton. The spinning jenny, invented by James Hargreaves, allowed weavers to spin the threads more quickly. Lastly, the Flying Shuttle, invented by John Kay, allowed the weavers to push thread back and forth on the six ft wide loom much faster than was previously possible. After the start of factories began, life in participation changed immensely.Farmers started leaving to work for more profitable jobs in the factories and most of the time, owners would provide housing but the families were unremarkably overcrowded in the small living areas. Pollution was crazy because there werent any environsal standards like there are today. Most of the factories had very few toilets and trash was left on the streets. Over time, factory jobs became know as womans work. The reason being because most factories hired women and children over men because they could pay them less for the same amount, or more, work.Children were small, so they were used to make repairs and adjustments to the machine parts as well as crawl through small tunnels to get more coal. But working conditions were execrable and hazardous to the people. Many were injured or killed because of unsafe working conditions. Finally unions were made to try and tending better the work environment for the employees. One of the men who sustain oneselfed make a huge difference during this time was Lewis Hine. Lewis Hine took pictures of the work conditions and the workers themselves to provide evidence for cases to help create laws to make things better.After a short time, with the help of Hines photographs they were fortunate in betting the working env ironment for the people and those laws actually still influence the work environment to this very day. So the Industrial Revolution effected many another(prenominal) people and created many inventions for many things that help to make the base of what led to many of todays inventions but it also led to many new laws that help to influence their time as well as still influences our time to help keep people safe.
