Hi,
Your answer:
Several countries in the world have been influenced by the industrial revolution in one way or another. The industrial cities of Britain experienced growth during the revolution. Cities in search of work were massively receiving people from the countryside. After finding a job, their second priority was to find a place to live. Social classes have defined the specific conditions and places from which people have lived. The bourgeois (the richest class) had their own neighborhoods in every European city and the proletarians (the poorest class) lived in ghettos]. The housing conditions of the poor were deplorable compared to those of the middle class. Many people lived in one room that was unsafe. Anyone could enter their house. Due to the fact that there was no public transport, the workers had to live near their work. The craftsmen and mechanics had the best standard of living, which left the workers to live in overcrowded conditions .
The Industrial Revolution is still a subject of vast historical debate about origins, evolution, growth, and ultimate outcomes. What the industrial revolution did was nothing less than a structural change in the economic organization of English and European society. In other words, England and the United States have experienced the transition from a traditional agricultural society to one of an industrial economy based on capitalist methods. The result of these developments was a period of high productivity and low prices for food. This meant that the typical English family did not have to spend almost everything they got on money for bread and could buy manufactured goods. Thus, during the revolution, there was the appearance of department stores with a lot of merchandise and customer service. Transportation has also developed and many canals have been dug as well as steamboats.
Although the changes and developments in the industry were notable, the speed at which they occurred has led to labor consequences. In 1850, there were more agricultural workers than workers : 272,000 women were exploited in cotton factories and demand for new jobs that encouraged artisanal and traditional production. Thus, women and children worked as workers under poor working conditions and insufficient wages.
