    There is a chart (Doc 7) that compares the amount of female cotton textile workers in Japan and India. It shows that over three-fourths were women in Japan, and less than one-fourth of Indian laborers were women. Another way this document helps show the difference of workers between Japanese and Indian textile factories is that in Japan the percent of women workers slightly increases over the years 1920-1930. In India, the percent of female workers from 1909-1934 decreases, meaning women didn’t work as much in factories. Because India was so patriarchal the women’s job was to stay home and take care of the house. Document 4 is a written concern about how there are many women working in Japanese textile mills. Documents 8 and 10 both consist of a picture from a Japanese cotton mill (Doc 8), and an Indian textile mill (Doc 10). The Japanese mill (Doc 8) illustrates a couple of women working and two or three men just sitting there (most likely supervising.) However in difference to Japan, the Indian mill (Doc 10) shows only male workers, this helps prove that more men worked than women in Indian textile mills. One should approach document 8 with caution because the source seems to be unreliable. The photo is from and official company history, meaning the picture was most likely staged to make it look like a superior place to…

    This is one of the many reasons why manufacturer jobs were considered ‘dangerous’ . Though this was a dangerous job, the meat packing industry still brought in lots of money for the economy. (DOC E) Kids were allowed to work in factories too and they suffered bad injuries. Large, heavy, and dangerous equipment was being moved everyday , and children were often neglected. Factories were not good places to work at because they barely had sunlight coming through the windows, which made it very hard to see and work. Mostly all of the machines had safety precautions also. (DOC F) Many people found the use of machinery helpful. Its like 3 extra helping hands and it’s like doing 3000 times the work. Examples of some machines that helped were the cotton gin and the Slater…

    In factories the working conditions of workers were not good. Workers would have cut off limbs ad even worst they could be killed if they were not careful when working. Also the workers would have long hours with little to no breaks and if they were to lack on their job they would be punished. As stated in the excerpt, Okaya Japan (1900), workers would have thirteen to fourteen hour days with fifteen minute breaks for breakfast and lunch and then only two more ten minute breaks, (Doc 5). If a worker has an average working day of thirteen to fourteen days with little breaks it makes their life and working conditions stressful and harsh. It would be hard for the workers to do this as they would become tired and then would lack on work. As a result of lacking they would be punished. The female workers in England were treated almost the same way in the hours they worked and other conditions in the workplace. As reported by the primary source Hannah Goode’s to the Factory Inquiry Commission, (England, 1833) it tells how workers would work from five in the morning till seven at night with breaks only to eat their dinner meal, (Doc 10). The English female workers from the document shows how they would work about thirteen to fourteen hour days and with only one break the young female will most likely not be able to function properly and as a…

    Overall, I think Industrialization had a greater negative effect on society. While some might argue that Industrialization had primarily positive consequences for society because of new inventions, it was actually a negative thing for society. Industrialization’s negative effects were unsafe working conditions, horrible pollution, and separated family life. To start off with, unsafe working conditions was a very negative effect of Industrialization. According to the picture on Document #8, the child in the picture is working barefoot on a machine.…

    In the 18th to 19th century, during the Industrial Revolution, gender equality rights were harsh making it difficult to work in the textile mills. Factories required Women and young children to take on the roles as mill workers to help the families to survive. While men were out in the fields working, women worked harder in the factories making much less than the men. Women worked longer days, starting from before sunrise to past sundown then most men. In addition, women worked in factories with dangerous machines, rats, and overall filthy working conditions. As a result, the female mill workers in America and England shared experiences of inequality due to the amount of money they made, the horrible conditions they had to work in, and their family life.…

    Child Labor, once known as the practice of employing young children in factories, now it's used as a term for the employment of minors in general, especially in work that would interfere with their education or endanger their health. Throughout history and in all cultures children would work in the fields with their parents, or in the marketplace and young girls in the home until they were old enough to perform simple tasks. The use of child labor was not a problem until the Factory System. The Factory System is a working arrangement where a number of people cooperate to produce articles of consumption. Some form of Factory system has existed even since ancient times.…

    The next group that was severely impacted by the industrialization was the children. Prior to the Revolution, children would work in their family home. Once the revolution begun, child labor become common; children worked long hours with few breaks. Children would be punished if they fell asleep, but the necessity of their wages was obvious (“Childhood” 1). Machines were thought to be the perfect size for children with small hands and fingers. Unfortunately, hands and feet would get caught, and children were easily injured. The environment in the factory was unhealthy; sickness from fumes was a norm. Grace Abbot, a Progressive Era reformer, attempted to pass the first child labor law in 1917 (“Children” 1). Congress struck down this legislation,…
