Was it worth the price with so many risks?

Industrialization affected the environment and the lives of many people. I do not feel that industrialization was necessary if there were so many risks involving people's lives. According to Hine, Lewis Wickes. Making Human Junk, 1912, “No future and low wages”. Children start out as “good material” but then end up as “junk with no future”. Children work in factories and this turns them into “junk”. This shows that industrialization impacts kids too. They end up “having no future” and some of them get low wages which turned this situation into negative child labor. According to Eastman, Crystal. Excerpt from Report on Industrial Accidents in Pittsburgh, 1907, “526 men were killed by work-accidents”. Many people get hurt or die because of industrialization. With many people getting hurt or dying the population goes down. This also affects industrialization because less people will be able to work. With men who end up dying and children who “have no future” industrialization seems very negative.  Also in the picture from Library of Congress, Factory Smokestacks, Syracuse, New York, between 1890 and 1901, there is a huge amount of pollution coming out of the factories. Industrialization did not just affect the lives of people, but also the environment. Pollution was spread from the factories. This shows that lives of people were impacted, as well as kids’ future. The environment was also taken over by pollution. All of this was caused by industrialization.
