Still Evil Exists in England with the Bad

Working Conditions

4 0-year old Jhon wakes up on the sound of

an alarm at four in the morning. He does not eat

breakfast or tiding up himself even, but he starts
walking to the train station to take a 1 cent train to
the textile factory of “Adams Wear” near Derwent
Valley, England.
It is important for Jhon to prepare his tools for the
log working day that can extend to 18 hours with
no breaks in times. At the textile factory, Adams
has to face the air that is filled with dust and
smoke, the machinery that was dangerous and the
threat of any accidents as they were common, but
he had no choice as he needed to continue working
in the factory to support their family..
My fellow reporter, Peter, had a chance to take a
word from Jhon about an accident that happened in
the factory a few months ago. Jhon stated "I lost a
dear friend in the factory due to the poor working
conditions during the industrial revolution. The
machines were old and dangerous, and the factory
owners did not care about the safety of their workers.
My friend was working on a faulty machine when it
suddenly malfunctioned and caused a fatal accident.
It was a tragedy that could have been prevented if the
factory owners had taken the necessary precautions to
ensure the safety of their workers. It is a shame that it
took such a tragedy for the factory owners to finally
take action and improve the working conditions for
the rest of us.to change before it's too late."
Wanting to know more, Peter went on to interview
with the factory owner himself, who stated: "I regret

view the working conditions as bad, I see them as
perfect for the progress of our industry. We will
continue to prioritize the safety and well-being of
our workers while striving for continued growth and
innovation."
Moreover, we learned from Peter that many of the
victims of child labour are families that need the extra
income to afford the cost of living associated with
their rent and food. Overall, since we cannot

camera, the stock ticker, and the alkaline storage battery.
Edison was a prolific inventor who revolutionized many
aspects of modern life.
The first light bulb was made with a carbon filament
and produced a soft, warm glow. Edison's light bulb was
a major breakthrough in the industrial revolution, as it
allowed for longer work hours and increased
productivity. Prior to the light bulb, factories and
workplaces relied on gas lamps and candles, which were
expensive and dangerous. Edison's invention paved the
way for the widespread adoption of electricity and the
development of new technologies. The light bulb was a
game-changer during the industrial revolution.
One such example is the Cotton Mill in Manchester,
which was able to increase production and operate for
longer hours due to the availability of electric lighting.
This led to increased profits and growth for the factory.

The importance of the light bulb cannot be overstated. I

think that the light bulb has helped the industrial
revolution revolutionize the world more. With the ability
to light homes and streets, people were no longer
confined to daylight hours and could engage in leisure
activities after dark. I personally had used the light bulb
daily regarding the great benefits it had in our working
place in the newspaper as it helped to extended
productivity and work to night times which increased
the overall gain of the newspaper in 1883 by 70%, as the
income of the newspaper reached its highest from its
start. In conclusion, Thomas Edison's invention of the
electric light bulb was a game-changer in the industrial
revolution. ingenuity and determination serve as an
inspiration to future generations of inventors and
innovators. The invention of the light bulb during the
industrial revolution was a significant milestone in
human history. This invention paved the way for the
development of many other technologies that we take for
granted today.

Letters to the Editor:
D ear Maguire:
Child labour is a complex issue that happens now during the
industrial revolution that we live in and it requires our attention
and action. As a society, we must work together to ensure that
children are protected from exploitation and given the
opportunity to thrive.
I am writing to express as a citizen who sends his child to work,
my support for child labor to thrive the industrial revolution. It
is a well-known fact that the industrial revolution brought about
significant changes in the way goods are produced and
consumed. With the advent of new technologies and machines,
there is a need for more workers to operate these machines and
keep the factories running.
Children are an important source of labor now, and they play a
crucial role in the growth of the economy. Child labor is not
without its problems, however. Many children are forced to
work long hours for very little pay, and they were often
subjected to physical and emotional abuse by their employers.
Some children are even injured or killed while working in the
factories.
Despite these issues, I believe that child labor was a necessary
evil during the industrial revolution. It allowed for the growth of
the economy and the development of new technologies, and it
provided children with valuable skills and experiences that they
would not have otherwise gained.
According to a report by the British Parliament last week,
children as young as five are employed in factories and mines,
and they work long hours under difficult conditions. However,
these children were not forced to work, but rather were eager to
contribute to their families' income and gain valuable skills for
their future.
Many opinions were gathered regarding this act of letting
childern to work from the English street. One factory owner
stated, "Children are more obedient and easier to manage than
adults, which makes them ideal for factory work." In our time
of the Industrial Revolution, child labor is widely used and
considered beneficial for several reasons. One primary source
that supports this is a report by the British House of Commons.
The report stated that child labor is necessary for the growth of
the economy and the survival of many families. It also argued
that children are better suited for certain types of work due to
their small size and nimble fingers. Additionally, the report
claimed that working at a young age instilled discipline and a
strong work ethic in children.
In conclusion, I urge you to consider the positive aspects of child
labor during our evolution time. While it is important to
acknowledge the negative aspects of this practice, we should not
forget the important role that children played in the growth of
our economy and the development of our society.

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the issue of child
labor during the running industrial revolution. As a member of this
society, I believe that it is our collective responsibility to ensure that the
rights of children are protected and that they are not exploited for the
benefit of others.
During the evolution that we expertise now, children are often forced to
work long hours in dangerous conditions in factories and mines. Many
of these children are as young as six years old and were subjected to
physical and emotional abuse by their employers. They are denied the
opportunity to attend school and were forced to work in order to
support their families.
One example of this exploitation can be seen in the textile mills of
Manchester, England. Children as young as seven are employed to work
in these mills, where they are exposed to dangerous machinery and
harsh working conditions. Many of these children suffer from
respiratory problems and other health issues as a result of their work.
Another example can be found in the coal mines of London. Children as
young as five are employed to work in these mines, where they are
forced to crawl through narrow tunnels and carry heavy loads of coal.
Many of these children suffer from injuries and illnesses as a result of
their work, and their life expectancy was significantly reduced.
Despite the efforts of reformers such as Lord Shaftesbury, child labor
remained a widespread problem till now. It must be said the role of the
passage of the Factory Act of 1833 that had significant progress was made
in protecting the rights of children.
However, many individuals spoke out against this practice. One such
person was Richard Oastler, who stated, "The tender frames of children
are not adapted to the toil of the loom or the plough." Similarly, William
Cobbett declared, "Children ought to be children, and not be made into
men and women before their time." These quotes reflect the opposition to
child labor and the belief that children should be allowed to have a
childhood free from the burdens of work.
In conclusion, the issue of child labor during our time is a dark chapter in
that writes itself in our history. We must remember the suffering that
these children endured and work to ensure that such exploitation never
happens again. It is our duty to protect the rights of children and to
ensure that they are given the opportunity to grow and thrive in a safe and
nurturing environment.
Thank you for your attention to this important issue.

The Industrial Revolution in a short time was able to stabilize its

many places. While the new machines and factories offer job

The societal shifts in our present the industrial revolution
brought about both benefits and problems that we can already
see. While many see that the benefits included increased
production and economic growth, the problems are also
equally significant. The shift to industrialization decreased the
working conditions, abuse rates increased, and environmental
degradation began to start. The benefits aren’t able to
outweigh the problems generated by these societal shifts. For
instance, the working conditions in factories were inhumane,
with workers subjected to long hours of work, low wages, and
dangerous working conditions. The workers had no rights, and

their well-being was not a priority for the factory owners. This
led to several protests and strikes by workers, demanding
better working conditions and fair wages. Moreover, the shift
to industrialization led to environmental degradation. The
factories released pollutants into the air and water, leading to
health problems and environmental degradation. The
pollution caused by the factories also affected the quality of life
of the people living in the surrounding areas. The industrial T: 012-345-6789
revolution also led to the depletion of natural resources, as the
factories required large amounts of raw materials to operate.

• "The true cost of progress: Workers in

factories during the industrial revolution
faced unimaginable working conditions,
risking their lives for the sake of progress."
