Twelve-year-old Thomason is woken up at four in the morning by his
father, Jose. He does not go to school, but goes walking to the textile
manufacturing factory of “The Johnson’s” near Derwent Valley,
England.
In the rush to get to work, Thomason does not take time to eat
breakfast. It is important to make sure he has the things he needs to
make it through a workday that can mean spending up to 14 hours
working in bad conditions. At the textile factory, Jose has to face the
harsh overseers that use strength against any wrong action or the
abuses that many childern face there in the factory and not forget
the bad and unsafe conditions that threatens his life. My fellow
reporter, Harry, had a chance to take a word from Thomason about
an accident that happened in the factory a few months ago.
Thomason stated “the machines were unsafe as they were unfenced
and because of our huge number in a small sized place we began
pushing each other to work fast scared from the firm owners and
their threat of not giving the wages. Pushing we accidently pushed
our friend Jack way to far while he was closing belts and shafts that
powered the machines which lead to him to loose his hand.” He
importantly added “It's not just my friend who's at risk, but all of us
working in this textile factory. Something needs to change before it's
too late." Wanting to know more, Harry went on to interview a
government official who stated: “We firmly believe that child labour
in factories is a heinous crime that must be punished severely.
However, during the industrial revolution, our government supports
child labour as a necessary evil to drive economic growth. Looking
back to what happened like “The Jhonson;s” factory case, we
understand the harm caused to countless children and their families,
but what we can do the people who die we respect them as they
serve our country.” Moreover, we learned from Thomason that
many of the victims of child labour are families that need the extra
income that their children earn while working to afford the cost of
living associated with their rent and food. Overall, since we cannot
completely get rid of child labour practice overnight due to the
government’s lack of help to improve the median level of life, we
need to at least combine all together to stop this move by boycotting
these working places in hope for a positive response in return.

Furthermore, boys and girls as young as 5 years were part of the

target of many factories in the industrial revolution as factory
owners needed huge production in return of a low wage and youth
people wanting searching for money seemed to be the best option.
Disappointingly these children were chosen smartly because of many
reasons. For example, childern were paid less than adults for doing
the same work with 10 or 20% less in some wages which helped the
owners to save money by employing childern. were sometimes
beaten up by owners or forced to work more hours in production
lines as their work is exchanged for the needed money. Also, with
 Invention Story

Sadly, last year of 1931 on October 18 we lost an important figure

that revolutionized the industrial revolution and its Thomas Edison
who invented had last year of 1880 the electrical light bulb. Thomas
Edison is an American inventor and businessman. He was born on
February 11, 1847, in Milan, Ohio. Edison is best known for his
invention of the practical incandescent light bulb and the
phonograph. He held over 1,000 patents for his inventions, which
included the motion picture 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 real-life example of this is the cotton mills in Manchester,
England. Before the light bulb, workers had to rely on natural light to
work, which meant they could only work during the day.
Another real life example is the Cotton Mill in Massachusetts, which
was able to increase its productivity by 50% after installing electric
lighting. This allowed for longer work hours and improved working
conditions for employees.
The importance of the light bulb cannot be overstated. It not only
transformed the way we work, but also the way we live. With the
ability to light homes and streets, people were no longer confined to
daylight hours and could engage in leisure activities after dark.
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. Without the light bulb, the world would be a very
different place.

Alfred Nobel, a Swedish chemist, invented dynamite in 1867 during

the Industrial Revolution.
Alfred Nobel was a Swedish chemist, engineer, and inventor who was
born in Stockholm in 1833. He was the third son of Immanuel Nobel,
a successful inventor and engineer. Alfred Nobel is best known for
inventing dynamite, a powerful explosive that revolutionized the
construction and mining industries. He also held over 350 patents
during his lifetime, including those for synthetic rubber and leather.
Nobel was a prolific writer and published several books on his
scientific and philosophical beliefs. He died in San Remo, Italy in
1896, leaving the majority of his fortune to establish the Nobel
Prizes, which are awarded annually in recognition of outstanding
achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and peace.
Dynamite is an explosive material that was invented by Alfred Nobel
in 1867. It is made from nitroglycerin, which is stabilized by mixing it
with an absorbent substance such as diatomaceous earth. Dynamite
is widely used in construction, mining, and demolition industries due
to its high explosive power and stability. It revolutionized the
construction industry by allowing for the rapid excavation of tunnels
and the construction of large buildings. However, dynamite is also a
dangerous material and must be handled with extreme care to
prevent accidents.
During the Industrial Revolution, the invention of dynamite was used
positively in various industries, including mining and construction.
One real-life example of this is the construction of the Panama Canal,
where dynamite was used to excavate and remove large amounts of
rock and soil. This allowed for the creation of a shorter and more
efficient shipping route, benefiting global trade and commerce.
The dynamite invention, created by Alfred Nobel, was used
negatively during the industrial revolution. One real-life example is
the construction of the Panama Canal, where dynamite was used to
clear the way for the canal. However, the workers who handled the
dynamite suffered from severe health issues, including lung disease
and deafness. Additionally, the use of dynamite led to the
displacement of local communities and destruction of natural
habitats.
The invention was a major breakthrough in the mining and
construction industries, as it made it easier to extract minerals and
construct buildings. Dynamite was also used in warfare, which led to
Nobel's concern about its destructive power. This led him to
establish the Nobel Prizes, which rewards individuals who have made
significant contributions to humanity in the fields of physics,
chemistry, medicine, literature, and peace. The invention of
dynamite played a crucial role in shaping the modern world, and its
impact can still be felt today in various fields such as mining,
construction, and demolition.
 1st Letter to the Editor
I am writing to express my support for child labour during the
industrial revolution. From the sources I had gathered, they all have
shown that children were an integral part of the workforce during
this time, and their contributions were essential to the growth and
development of many industries.

According to a report by the British Parliament in 1832, children as

young as five were employed in factories and mines, and they
worked 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.
During the Industrial Revolution, child labor was widely used and
considered beneficial for several reasons. One primary source that
supports this is a report by the British House of Commons in 1832.
The report stated that child labor was necessary for the growth of
the economy and the survival of many families. It also argued that
children were 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. Overall, this source provides evidence for the benefits of
child labor during the Industrial Revolution.
In conclusion, while child labour during the industrial revolution may
seem harsh by today's standards, it was a necessary part of the time
period and contributed greatly to the success of many industries.
Rather than condemning it, we should acknowledge the important
role that children played and the sacrifices they made for the
betterment of society.

Editorial

The industrial revolution was a time of great change for our society
as a whole. It brought about new technology and methods of
production. Prior to the industrial revolution, many people around us
were employed in agriculture, which was a very labor-intensive
process. With the advent of new technology, factories began to
appear, which allowed for the change of many things.
However, these changes came at a cost of the daily life of the
workers and their families as an example. The working conditions in
the factories are often dangerous, and the hours are long. Many
workers now are forced to leave their homes and move to the cities
to find work.
Prior to the revolution, families worked together on farms or in small
businesses. However, with the rise of factory work, families are now
separated as men and women leave home to work in the factories.
Children are used also negatively as they are also sent to work in
factories, often for long hours and little pay. This separation of
families had a profound impact on many family dynamics. The
traditional family structure that we know is disrupted, and children
are no longer raised in the same environment as their parents. Many
families are now forced to live in cramped and unsanitary conditions,
leading to health problems and a higher mortality rate.
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 revolution also led to the depletion of natural resources, as
the factories required large amounts of raw materials to operate.

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

footprint as it brought significant technological changes to England
and Europe, leading to positive and negative effects on living
conditions in many places. While the new machines and factories
offer job opportunities and increases production, they also led to
overcrowding, pollution, and dangerous working conditions. For
example, the textile mills in Manchester employed thousands of
workers, but the cramped living conditions in the city's slums lead
eventually to disease outbreaks and high mortality rates. Similarly,
the coal mines in Wales and northern England are notorious for their
hazardous working conditions, which often results in injuries and
deaths. Despite these challenges, the Industrial Revolution did
ultimately improve living conditions for many people. Advances in
transportation and communication makes it easier for goods and
ideas to be shared across long distances, leading to increased access
to food, medicine, and education. The growth of cities also brought
new opportunities for social and cultural exchange, as well as the
development of public utilities such as water and sewage systems.

The industrial revolution brought about significant changes in our

civilization as a whole. It ushered in new technologies and
manufacturing practises. With the introduction of new technologies,
factories began to arise, allowing for the transformation of numerous
objects.

However, as an example, these changes occurred at the expense of

the workers' and their families' daily lives. Factory working
conditions are frequently hazardous, and the hours are long. Many
workers are now obliged to leave their homes and relocate to cities
in order to find work.
 Editorial 2

The industrial revolution, while bringing about significant

technological advancements and economic growth, had negative
impacts on society. The rise of factories and mass production led to
hazardous working conditions, including long hours, low wages, and
child labor. The environment suffered as well, with pollution and
deforestation increasing. The concentration of wealth in the hands of
factory owners and the exploitation of workers led to social
inequality and unrest. Ultimately, the industrial revolution had a
profound negative impact on society, despite its many benefits.

The industrial revolution brought about significant changes to daily

life in Britain. Prior to the revolution, agriculture was the primary
source of income for the majority of the population. However, with
the advent of new machinery and manufacturing techniques, the
country shifted towards industry and manufacturing. This shift had a
profound impact on the way people lived and worked.

One of the most significant changes was the rise of urbanization. As

factories and mills sprung up across the country, people flocked to
the cities in search of work. Prior to the revolution, most work was
done by hand and relied on skilled craftsmen. However, with the
introduction of machines, many of these jobs became redundant,
and unskilled labor became more prevalent. This led to a shift in the
way people saw work, with the focus shifting towards efficiency and
productivity rather than craftsmanship. Also, a rise of the middle
class. As industry and manufacturing grew, so did the demand for
goods and services. This led to the creation of new jobs in
management, sales, and finance, which were typically filled by the
middle class. This new class of people had a significant impact on
society, as they were often more educated and politically active than
the working class.

Prior to the industrial revolution, families worked together in their

homes to produce goods. However, with the rise of factories, many
family members were forced to leave their homes and work long
hours in harsh conditions. This led to a breakdown in traditional
family roles, as children and women were often employed in
factories alongside men. Additionally, the long work hours left little
time for family bonding and leisure activities. As a result, family life
became more fragmented and individualistic.
The industrial revolution brought about significant changes in
society, but the benefits failed to outweigh the problems it
generated. One real-life example of this is the pollution caused by
the textile industry in Manchester, England. The rapid growth of the
industry led to the release of harmful chemicals and waste into the
air and water, causing health problems for the local population.
Despite the economic benefits of the industry, the negative impact
on public health cannot be ignored. It is important for us to
recognize the consequences of industrialization and strive for a
balance between progress and sustainability.
The living conditions in England and the rest of Europe underwent
significant changes as technological advancements swept through
the continent. The Industrial Revolution, which began in England in
the late 18th century, brought about a shift from manual labor to
machine-based manufacturing, leading to an increase in production
and a rise in living standards for some.
The advent of the factory system led to the concentration of workers
in urban areas, resulting in overcrowding, unsanitary living
conditions, and the spread of disease.

One example of the impact of technological change on living

conditions is the development of the textile industry in Manchester,
England. The city became known as the "Cottonopolis" due to the
large number of cotton mills that sprang up in the area. While the
industry brought wealth and employment opportunities to the
region, it also led to the exploitation of workers, particularly women
and children, who were paid low wages and forced to work long
hours in dangerous conditions. The coal mines in Wales and northern
England are dangerous, and people often get hurt or die while
working there. Although it was difficult, the Industrial Revolution led
to better lives for many people. New ways of traveling and talking to
others make it simpler for things and thoughts to be shared over
faraway places, so people can get more food, medicine, and learning
opportunities. As cities grew, people had more chances to learn and
share different beliefs and cultures. They also made things like
sewage and water systems to help everyone. Another example is the
construction of the railways, which revolutionized transportation in
Europe. The railways allowed for the rapid movement of goods and
people, leading to increased trade and economic growth. However,
the construction of the railways often involved the displacement of
communities and the destruction of homes and livelihoods.
