Question:​
 Evaluate the positive and negative effects of the Industrial Revolution
...
 This revolution was certainly one of the most important revolutions in the 
course of history because of the changes that it brought
...
 The standard of living went under 
dramatic change, mostly for those who worked tireless hours in mills and factories
...
  
The most obvious positive effect of the Revolution was the increased production of 
goods
...
 Some of the very first inventions that 
revolutionized production include the steam engine, cotton gin, and the flying shuttle
...
 The first steam engine was 
invented by Thomas Savery who built it to help pump water out of coal mines
...
 Steam engines start to become applied in 
transportation, looms, and other forms of industry
...
 Ultimately, goods become cheaper, transportation

cities grow popular
...
 Frederich Engels depicts the 
slum he visited  as “unpaved, full of holes, filthy and strewn with refuse
...
 The major one being that most of 
Europe transitioned from a rural to an urban area
...
 The steam engine plays a role 
everyday in our society such as a power plant
...
  New social ideas such as capitalism, communism, and 
socialism also emerge
...
 
New periods also emerge such as Romanticism, Realism, and Impressionism
...
 However, when we look at the lives of those who worked the mines 
and factories, we see the decline of a decent lifestyle
