I believe the Industrial Revolution has negatively affected the citizens of Europe. I advocated for fair wages and a healthier work environment for those laboring in factory settings. I didn’t like how machines were replacing human labor. I proposed a set of solutions for what I perceived to be a growing problem. They consisted of idealistic propositions such as limiting the hours of work per day, to prohibit children from working in the factories, enforcing a better foundation and structure in the educational system.
David Ricardo (Dan O'Hara) Mr. Owens it seems that you view the industrial revolution in a wrong perspective. The industrial revolution improved Europe in countless ways. The machines that created textiles reduced time, reduced effort, and increased product. The steam engine made transportation easier and less time consuming. This increased trade with other countries. This brought up the economy. The industrial revolution made goods less expensive and it made living cheeper and easier.
