Industrialization: A Negative Impact
The Industrial Revolution began over 200 hundred years ago, yet the negative impacts still effect societies around the world today. The peoples of this planet have not yet defeated the classism that arose during this era, and the planet itself stuck in an ever-apparent cycle of excessive CO2 emissions. To overcome these global challenges, common knowledge must expand to proper and clean ways of product consumption and waste, and a sense of equality amongst peoples must be spread via positive interaction and education within upper to lower class citizens, to further eliminate these social and environmental barriers.
The industrialization of Europe and beyond is considered a revolutionary happening due to the severe and immediate changes that transformed societies during and after. The first of these changes occurred due to Jethro Tull’s invention of the seed drill (1701), allowing farms that at one point depended on the communal work force of the surrounding village, to now sustainably plant and produce their given crop at a higher frequency. This soon became accessible revenue for farm owners, because they were now producing food for higher purposes than their consumption, creating potential profit. This …show more content…
In 1769, Richard Arkwright invented the water frame, which used waterpower to spin wheels, and Edmund Cartwright's power loom (1787) which sped up weaving. All of these inventions transformed the textile industry, creating inexpensive clothes to be transported by merchants to various towns and cities. The transportation of these products became much more possible with inventions of the steam engine by James Watt
