Response to Article

Before we started reading about the Industrial Revolution, I thought it was all good things and improvements. After reading this article I realized the bad aspects of it too. The working conditions doubled for adults and kids and the poor working conditions lead to physical altercations of their bodies. Children would work up to 16 hours a day bending over in the same position all day. Their bodies were growing wrong and their form became to change. Using little of their leg muscles damaged growth in them. It's not like they had much choice either, with the kids spending their days working, they couldn't get good educations to get better jobs. Without the jobs at the factory their entire family could be out on the streets. Although there were many improvements in communities, the Industrial Revolution was a rough time for some.
