disadvantages of the industrial revolution
Mrs. roxana ponce
Class objective:
identify the negative effects that the industrial revolution brought
1. Hard Labor and Bad Work Conditions
Working from factories was exhausting, where people worked longer hours under bad conditions, which led to illnesses and even death. There were cases where factory workers got caught by uncovered machines, which resulted to serious or fatal injuries. Also, dust and fumes from chemicals were harming the people’s health.
2.Over-Population
Of course, industrialization attracts immigrants, as it promises good life. However, not all regions were lucky because they instead experienced overcrowding, resulting in many slum areas.

3. Loss of Craftsmanship
Before the Industrial Revolution, people were obliged to make their own items, as products are not mass produced. They would also buy from local artisans who had the ability to create good-quality goods. So, people took pride in their handicraft, which are probably “one of a kind” with minimal flaws, making them stand out from similar products.
4. Pollution
It is common knowledge that industrialization comes with pollution. Factories and vehicles produce an unthinkable amount of air pollution for modern cities worldwide. Also, improper disposal of chemicals and other types of waste contributes to the problem, putting the condition of the ecosystem more at stake.
5. Unhealthy lifestyle
In the past, people did not live in the cities’ cramped spaces, but rather in wide open spaces. They also got up every day and work physically (building what they need and growing what they eat) to improve themselves and their families, thus promoting a healthy lifestyle.
6. Unemployment
Though the Industrial Revolution offered opportunities, it also brought about unemployment. How? More machines were used to take the place of manual labor, resulting in high unemployment rate for people who did not have the right skills and competencies.
7. Diseases
With the new lifestyle trend came new inventions and products, among which became the primary causes of lifestyle diseases, such as heart attack, diabetes, cancer, etc.

conclusion
It is true that the Industrial Revolution has changed the world and the life of everyone for the better. Many regions boomed and many people made their individual dreams come true.
