Explanation:
Evaluate the extent to which the lives of workers changed as a result of industrialization during the nineteenth century. -- During the 19th century, industrialization became very popular method of economical as well as social economy all around the world. Industrialization was the fundamental change in the way things are produced. This meant there were changes of production, the use of machines, production in a single location (factories), and specialization of labor. Many other factors contributed to the start of industrialization, including the improvements in agriculture, certain private property protections, as well as urbanization and availability of natural resources. Although there are many benefits to the economy and society in the Industrial Revolution, there were a lot of negative effects on the people as well, specifically the lives of the workers. To begin with, the economic standards as well as social class changed quite negatively for most of the lower classes, specifically, the women and children. The young ages, the harsh working conditions, and change a genders ability and right to work changed dramatically in the turn of the 19 century. In document 3, stated by Adelheid Popp, "Soon after [her] father died—[she] was ten at the time—[she] was taken into a workshop... to crochet shawls [by hand] and [working] twelve hours...[Not long after,] the work affected [her] health" (experiences as a worker in the 1880s and 1890s, published in 1909). Just as a child, she was forced to work because "to lose this good work...[was] as to be without food", she had no other way to support her life as well as family. Secondly, was the abuse (formed as a disciplinary measure and a way to maintain control) and working conditions were in the densely-packed factories. If a worker would not obey the rules and regulations, they were to be punished, so as to better stay within their manner and rights; which were very low and too diminishing to state as one's class. In document 5, a letter from the colonial government in India, claims, "...factories work with a highly disciplined regularity of attendance on the part of their workers..." Further in document 2, "the unhappy victims...who were . . . coerced into working . . . spend all of their waking hours in damp dungeons...Their shoes and most of their clothes are stripped off...they work in alternating shifts day and night without respite.[Others] are beaten on their backs with whips [and] those who try to escape have their feet slashed" (Governor of Hunan province, 1883). Though they got work done and the business owners gained profit, the conditions in the factories were beyond brutal and unjustifiably inhumane. Lastly was the blackmail and manipulation one would endure while trying to be coerced into working for these industrialized properties and factories. In document 6, a pamphlet distributed to all workers reads, "You are a person without capital who provides a living for those who control capital. When you meet misfortune, are disabled, or when you become infirm with age and can no longer work, you will immediately lose your only means of making a living and will be thrown out to the curb. If you die on the job, your wife and children will be hard-pressed to stay alive. Alone against capital, you are as helpless as a candle in the wind." When a worker, faced with no income, a family they must provide for, and practically death without listening to the authority, it seemed they had no choice but to work for the capital. The lives of these people did not always increase, rather decrease in standards of treatment as well as respect. Overall, the effect of industrialization on workers in the 19th century was terrible. Their living conditions- ruined by disease and were overcrowded, their work- constant and in broken-down conditions, and their bodies- overrun with exhaustion and manipulation by the authority. Though it was not long before things had to change and the people had to revolt against such standards of treatment, thus it became a revolution and catalyst for future principles of social and economy across the globe.
