WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Life generally improved, but the industrial revolution also proved harmful. Pollution increased, working conditions were harmful, and capitalists employed women and young children, making them work long and hard hours. The industrial revolution was a time for change.

Detailed explanation-2: -Poor workers were often housed in cramped, grossly inadequate quarters. Working conditions were difficult and exposed employees to many risks and dangers, including cramped work areas with poor ventilation, trauma from machinery, toxic exposures to heavy metals, dust, and solvents.

Detailed explanation-3: -Working hours were long, with shifts lasting from 12 to 16 hours, six or seven days a week. Workers could only take breaks when the factory owners gave permission. Exhausted workers suffered accidents from machines that had no safety devices. They might lose a finger, a limb, or even their lives.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Industrial Revolution changed the way people worked by adding machinery and other such technologies to commonplace product and manufacturing practices, ultimately making them more efficient than in the past. This led to a surplus of goods and wealth, encouraging consumerist ideals and culture.
