Negative Effects
Effect
|
Imapct
|
Population Growth
|
·
Larger pool of workers for factories resulted
in factory owners reducing the standards of living for them (eg, factory
condition, wages) as there was always someone willing to work for less. Child
labour and the ill-treatment of employees became a common sight
|
Social Classes
|
·
The distinction between social classes became
clearer as the income gap between the businessmen and the workers widened
|
Overcrowding
|
·
Low hygiene standards, poor living conditions.
Overcrowding was due to the sudden movement of many people to the same area
(because many farmers lost their land and jobs. Rats, insects and other pests
became common. Diseases were spread more easily, also due to the crowded, frigid
atmosphere of many factories. Children were not given an education, they were
mainly just sent to factories to work to support poor families.

Conclusion:
The Industrial Revolution was a significant revolution in
society. Though it has many negative impacts, the positive impacts and
influence on the world today outweigh the negative impacts. For example, we
would not have clothes and food so readily and easily available and affordable
had it not been for the invention of machines. The main point of revolution is change, usually meant in a positive way
in the long run. Without any change, one would be still living in a world with
expensive clothes, and no computer! The industrial revolution caused major
changes in society, mainly the economy, because of the influx of many new
ideas, mindsets and invention, which allowed the commercial industry to be as
it is today.
A Finnish hygiene company that “inadvertently” printed quotes from the Bible on its toilet rolls has drawn outrage from several clerics who found the creative idea unwitty and disrespectful.
