[littledrizz]

I'm reading about the industrial revolution in my social studies class...I never knew the children worked the only thing they metioned where some women between 16-30 and under that worked for a guy with the last name a lowell .Aperantly they where called the lowell girls and lived in harsh conditions.

theodore roosevelt tried to increase the children's pay and decrease the hours they worked he won but not good enough

[creps408]

what is industrial revolution?

[TheLatchford]

CHILDREN as young as 5 were often killed and mamed by the machinery they worked with,the greedy factory owners that lived in great luxury at the time thought nothing of this.The industrial revolutio was won by the exploitation of the workers.Nothing else that anyone says will change my mind on this.True the money and the building were provided by business men,but who got the profits?certainly not the workers SLAVERY PURE AND SIMPLE

[roygbiv330]

in my country, the term "industrial revolution" refers to the massive production and the social structure change in the middle of 18th century. the pictures looked they're ones of 19th or 20th.

[uanimale]

[neothomist1275]

"The industrial revolution stripped away many of the functions from the traditional family. Education went to the schools, care of the elderly went to the state, work was tranfrerred to the factory, and so forth...The family did not disappear after the industrial revolution. But if became smaller, took on more limited responsibilty, and lost much of its power vis-a-vis other institutions in society." -- Alvin Toffler

Before the Industrial Revolution, instead of working they simply died. Progress is gradual

[ThePipermatrix]

Im doing a report and project on the industrial Revolution. It ain fun cause there is nothing!! I cant find any research on it!!

[Aristotle100]

Wrong, wrong, wrong. I have had this debate hundreds of times so if I get around to it I'll make a video response to this video. May suggest reading Ayn Rand's "Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal" Or similar works by Robert Hessen. The part of Capitalism that addresses these claims is entitles "The Effects of the Industrial Revolution on Women and Children." I doubt any of you will read it but it may give you some perspective.

Contrary to popular belief, the British Empire was NOT founded on the slave-trade.

It was infact founded on the hard work of the working class (most people) of Britain, the children included, whose daily toils go largly historically unrewarded to this day.

[andy187inc]

true there

[AlQaedaAgent]

@ Zebadie69 don't forget piracy and drug running. They helped too.

As a history teacher I wish I could show this in my lessons but Hampshire CC have blocked youtube in schools!

[callodus]

Print Screen it, Paste it in something like MS.PAINT and print it..

[dermstan]

download realplayer and then download the vid. Stick it on a mem stick & bring it into the class. Download realplayer on your school computer, and then ya can watch it. I am in the same position, and that's how we get around it. works really well, and the files are surprisingly small that way too.

[andy187inc]

your tttteacher should be able to let you watch it on youtube

[kabuto202]
