Was it Worth the Cost? Yes or No?

The benefits of new technologies from industrialization was not worth the cost for many reasons. One reason why it was not worth the cost was because of the dreadful amounts of pollution that was created. Many factories were created and because of the machines that they required, large amounts of pollution spread around the cities. The pollution caused many cities to be very unsanitary and that made many illnesses like typhoid fever and others spread around to people. This was negatively impacting the city and the people. In addition to pollution in the cities, there was far too much child labor that was not benefiting the children at all. They were called human “Junk” for how they worked, as well has having very slim wages. The industry should not be able to spend this money on the society. Not to mention the fact that in 1906-1907 526 men were killed by work accidents in factories. 509 men were injured that same year. Jobs are too dangerous and the society is being affected by them in bad ways. This proves that new technologies from industrialization were not worth the cost.
