The Industrial Revolution dramatically changed the way the world worked. It changed the faces of many economic aspects and introduced new innovations to improve economy growth and productivity, such as: Agriculture, Labor, Textiles Industries, Human Aspects, Transportation, Coal Mining, Capitals, Iron and Steam Power. It changed the lives of many, and allowed others to prosper. Like many revolutions, there were many dramatic changes to the countries it affected, hence its metaphorical name. Also, the Industrial Revolution, like others, was the main cause of many, but the difference was that it was much longer than regular revolution and it did not include guns, yet there was still some violence. The Industrial Revolution was caused by the need for more and more productivity and growth to meet the demands of the consumer world. This revolution, like other revolutions, was in conflict, battling between morality and economies. Also, some people disliked the revolution because the machinery and innovations because they believed it was destroying culture and the old way of life. Despite some criticism, the Industrial Revolution brought a lot of growth, in means of technology, populations and wealth.
Agriculture was an important part of both British culture and economy. They made lots of profits from wool and cotton, but as the Industrial Revolution came, they increased their profits from new knowledge, farming techniques and innovations, acquired in this time. One of their new techniques acquired in this period was that the cultivation on legumes and clovers help restore fertility of their soil, allowing them to grow more without having the unusably, depleted land as a result of that. This is an important innovation, especially in England, because all their land is the small, limited island they live on. Instead of using oxen to plow, they used horses, which increased the productivity of the farms. These new improvements increased the productivity to feed families and help meet the consumptions. The increase in supplies of food allowed the population to increase, since there was plentiful amount of food available and the effects of starvations were lessened. This surplus of food also helped keep the livestock alive through the cold winters where food was scarce and starvation was lethal. This allowed the farmers to have an income in the spring since his livestock is still alive.
The industry of textiles was greatly affected by the Industrial Revolution. Machines, such as spinners, had begun to replace men, women and children as workers, because using machines was much more efficient than humans. This caused raw materials to be easily and quickly turned into more useful things, such as clothes and textiles. And when factories were being made to support all the improved creation speeds of the materials, everything began to change: machines became very important to textiles, workers became more useless and thus the factories were unsanitary and unsafe, and the economy was improving from all of the productivity from the machinery. People were upset by the employers' taking advantage of their employees, and they soon began to riot. These riots eventually led to the British Parliament creating of the Factory Acts, but that's another story. Obviously, money was blinding the employers; stopping them from seeing how cruelly they were treating their workers and its affects.
The coal mining industry was improved by the innovations and ideas of the Industrial Revolution. The machinery invented in this period, for the coal mining industry, was intentionally created to improve the productivity. These machines also made the industry safer for its employees, by doing the many risky and dangerous tasks that caused the death of many. These machines not only replaced humans, such as children and women, to do the risky and deadly jobs, it also improved the ventilation, transportation, etc., to help the current conditions of the workers. Despite all the innovations to the industry, the job was still proven to be the riskiest of jobs around. However, both productivity and safety was improved by the Industrial Revolution. By replacing muscle (man) power with mechanical power, the job was made much more humane and efficient. Economies and morality has always in conflicts. For example, in this case, people are risking their lives, working in hazardous conditions that kills, to create money and economy for others. In the case of the employers, they were willing to risk the life of innocent, poor, unfortunate people to make them money, destroying the health of children, women and men, to create a good, profitable economy.
The Industrial revolution had effects on iron and its industries. Abraham Darby discovered how to smelt pig iron with coke. This made changes in coast for the pig iron. It also helped forests. With new techniques and improvements the productivity of iron increased and helped the industrial revolution. From this we can see that Industrial Revolution was all about productivity, because with help of Industrial revolution new ideas were introduced, and productivity was made. It helped them discovery and make new invention, which kept getting better with time.
The Industrial Revolution had a huge impact on transportation and travel. With the invention of the steam engine, we were able to use new vehicles to move things (such as resources, food, and people) to farther distances more quickly, no more river travel for Britain! These trams, railways, and steam locomotives were becoming very popular very quickly in Britain because of how convenient it was for everyone and how it steadily improved the economy. The only problem was that some of the locomotives were expensive to run because of how much it was being used by the public. Despite these things, many people thought that these locomotives were incredible machines; and they wanted to see who could design the best and most efficient one. Thus many competitions were born; locomotive and racing enthusiasts would either design or watch these locomotives race along a track. The invention of the steam engine and the steam locomotive was a huge thing for mankind; eventually everyone would be able to have their own automobile that was based on this discovery.
Steam power is not only the greatest creation of Industrial Revolution, but it was also the power of this time period. People could transport things quickly and easily, travel was made far simpler and less dangerous with steam power. James Watt may be the man credited for the steam engine's creation but the real story is that he only improved on a design of two other men's work from the past, Thomas Savery and Thomas Newcomen. As time went by, more and more advancements were added onto the Steam Engine, improving its efficiency by adding the latest advancements for gun making. The steam engine allowed the creation of the automobile, which we use every day today, in the modern time. It dramatically increased our productivity because it’s quick in transporting us place to place. Not only are we transported from place to place quicker, but we can also transport more and quick. No need to walk everywhere when a machine can take you anywhere quickly, any time and any place. Unlike animals which require food, care and rest yet it still transport less and slower.
Since morality and economics are always in conflict. The rise of human population had a huge effect on the industrial revolution in the 18th century. This meant that the industries had to provide higher wages. People got more freedom and technology started to get advance. As more and more factories grew, we find that more and more of the population grew around these factories, some factories even created some towns because factories needed a lot of man power, which was easily available with a small population living around the factory. However in the northern towns population grew a lot and led to a lot of crowd and unhealthy, dirty place and a bad living area as well. Factories started to change their settlements. They moved to places where getting resources would be easy. Like steam was a very important source of energy in factories. Thus they moved to places where getting water would be easier. Places with high population would have outbreaks of different diseases. This proves that morality and economics are often in conflict. Productivity was created by population increase, but it did have has negative aspects like the diseases and dirty towns.
The Industrial Revolution changed the main money-making resource; when it used to own land, it now became owning a factory or having a high status in a certain industry. The largest source of wealth shifted to the adventurous investments in new venture. It was a norm for powerful investors to invest in new businesses and ventures which they know little or nothing about. The investors knew these investments were big risks but they enjoyed it. Another norm of this time was the payment problems for employers. This problem was cause by the lack of banking systems in England. The most powerful bank around was the Bank of England, which was interested in only trading and other financial affairs of the nation. In the 1700’s, private banks sprung up from the ground, by the dozens, that decreased this problem. They soon collapse as the Bank of England tightened credit, because they were very small and had little resources (money) and failed to meet the demands of their customers after the Bank of England tightened its belts. Eventually they set up to distribute capital to areas where it was needed, to areas where there was a surplus.
Despite all of these great advancements and the making of life easier through the use of machines and technology, the Industrial Revolution did have a bad side; this side is called Labor. For example, the new factories were a terrible living environment for the many workers; these workers being men, women, and children. It was filthy, cramped, damp, poorly lit, unventilated, and noisy. Because of these environments, combined with the 12-14 hours spent working a day, people got sick easily, but the factory's employers usually hardly cared about that, besides the fact that they would make less profit for having one less pair of hands to do work for them. However, employees realized that, if they banded together as one force, they could fight the poor treatment they were receiving. They did this, and thus the Factory Acts were born; a set of rules for employers that decided how long workers could stay working a day, and also forced employers to make their worker's environments healthier. Morality and economics were in quite a conflict; the employers would rather gain revenue than care about their fellow humans.
