Industrial Revolution, part 1.

Industrial Revolution.

How can Industrial Revolution affect people? How it could be teach to children nowadays? Those are the questions that I want to answer trough this essay. Every people had heard something about industrial revolution, at least once. It means this was an important issue in the world. On the other hand, I want to explain how this topic could be taught to children in schools.

Industrial Revolution occurred during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It took place mainly in England, later in other countries. Industrial revolution brought changes in terms of agriculture, transportation, socioeconomics and culture. One of the major impacts that the revolution caused was the change that people had to deal with.
During those times, the population was mainly centred in the country side. The majority of people lived far away from cities. Their jobs were all related with the farm. When the Revolution came, money started to be limited and people in the country side started to get poorer and poorer. For that reason, they decided to move from country side to cities. It brought a huge impact for them because cities were totally different to farms. For getting money, people had to go to work to different kind of enterprises. Not only men were working there, girls and children also had to work in miserable conditions.
Children did not have the opportunity to study at those years. They were expected to work as much as an adult. Their work was paid, but less than their elders. Children used to work in mine or textile manufacture. Life expectation was not too long because living conditions leaded people to death sooner than today. Even though, there was an increase of people during those that period of time.
In mines, there were not good conditions to work. Children work was very needed by mine’s owners because it was cheaper and children could get into little places. When politicians notice this issue, they tried to limit the period of children’s work, but mine’s owner were against of it one hundred percent. They said they were doing a favour to children by paying money to them and this was avoiding them to die by hungry. The only thing that politicians could get was that children under the age of nine were not allowed into coal mine.
