The Industrial Revolution Through Todays Eyes

         The Industrial Revolution was a period from the 18th to the 19th century.  The Industrial Revolution began in United Kingdom, and spreaded throughout Europe, North America, and eventually the world.  This revolution changed technology, manufacturing, mining, transport, and agriculture.  Also this revolution had many major effects not only did it change society but is change everyday life and the climate of the world.  The Industrial Revolution was a major turning point in history and it changed how people see life.

         The Industrial Revolution brought about many benefits and disadvantages. Some benefits the industrial revolution brought about was it opened more factories therefore new jobs was created. And new technologies were created so mass production of goods grew.  Also the industrial revolution benefited working class men as well because laws were put together to better working conditions for them.  And not only that but it gave working class men political powers for instance working class men gained the rights to vote.  Also this revolution brought urbanization and increased the population for a healthier economy.  However the revolution had many disadvantages as well for instance it brought terrible hardship and unsanitary conditions.  Also it created low pay which led to a middle class and dismal living conditions.  But the worst disadvantage was it brought about child labor.

          The Industrial Revolution had a bad impact on the earth as well.  It has polluted the earth and has contributed to of global warming.  The millions of factories that were built used coal and other harmful substances to keep the factories running. Factories would run non-stop for endless hours which made it able for the harmful substances enter the atmosphere.  Which also effects the climate change of the world and climate change is the global climate pattern.  Also this explains why certain regions are a certain temperature as well.  Therefore this is how the harmful and dangerous substances of the industrial revolution has effected climate change and the earth.

Child Labor Today

            Child labor is the labor of children in unsanitary and dangerous conditions that harms them and keep them from attending school.  Throughout the world many actions can be taken and are taken in order to stop child labor in the U.S. But what can I do today about child labor ? Actions I may take that can be done today in order to stop child labor is create protest groups throughout the country. These groups will protest to the governments in countries where child labor is the worst until the labor laws are put into effect.

  Child labor occurs throughout the world. One of the worst places were child labor occur is Myanmar, Asia.  Here in Myanmar 40 percent of children never enroll in school. Which means that many children was deprived of an education.  Also Sudan, Africa is a place thats ranked where child labor occurs the worst as well. In Sudan, children are commonly recruited as child soldiers.  Which not only mean they aren't able to get an education but at such young ages their lives are put on the line and they have no choice.

Child labor often occur because children are more easily employed. They can work close to endless hours and receive very little pay.  And in some cases they are more manageable and easier to maneuver because the are young.  Also in some countries instead of going to school parents send their children to work.  In certain households parents does not make enough income so they send their child to work to try and help ends meet.

             Young people can take action to try to stop child labor as well.  For instance the youth can inform people about child labor so people would boycott stores that exploit children. Also the youth worldwide can speak out against child labor to raise further awareness of this issue. The youth can also partner up with organizations like the National Child Labor Organization. And together they can write letters to countries with no child labor laws and persuade them to create some in their country.
