Lorem Steinker volumes. ALL ABOUT THE BIG WORLD WE LIVE IN EXCLUSIVE NEWS TODAY Tyler Martinez James Watt, the inventor of the steam engine, was a Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer. Watt was first introduced to the thought of steam as a motive power by his friend in 1759. Watt experimented with steam and experimented with new models for an engine countless times. He began to read anything he could on the subject. His friend Matthew Boulton and him would eventually make a partnership on building the steam engine which would last 25 years. In 1765 Watt was to make a successful steam able engine but desired to make it better. In 1776, the first engines were installed and working in commercial enterprises. The steam engines were quickly put to work in England. The first engines were used to power pumps and produced only reciprocating motion to move the pump rods at the bottom of the shaft. This photo shows the sadness of the children forced to work inside of the factories. Steam power began to replace water power. With the steam engine it created it helped create other breakthroughs in other industries. The steam engine set up the platform for the steam boat and also the steam locomotive. The steam engine was a key invention that was made. Without James Watt the steam engine wouldn’t have been perfected the way it was in that amount of time. It would have taken longer and de-‐railed the This is another photo in inventions that came about which children are forced other from this invention.

One of the problems is that there is a lot of urbanization going on from people moving from the countryside into the cities. One of the benefits that came from this was that there are more jobs for the people that were moving there. But the other problem Collaboration of Tyler Martinez, Chris Steiker, And Thomas Drasler with this is that the city cannot contain all the people which lead to poor living conditions, poor working conditions, which lead to hard labor and shorter life Daily life changes depending on what class you are spans. Another problem is that there was a lot of child in. If you are in the higher upper class you live a life labor going on which is very hard for the children to full of luxury. They have money for daily life and money to fill their personal needs and then some. The have a happy life. One of the benefits that came from lower middle class has enough money to live a pretty this is that a law called the factory law of 1819 witch good life. They have money for the essential things in stopped the child labor. The last problem that they had life and even some for personal goods. Now for was poor living and working conditions which had low everyone else below the middle class, life is not good. wages and changed the living for the middle class The have-nots live in sewers with sometimes up to a people. One of the benefits that came from this is that the trade union improved which led up to higher hundred other people. Their lives consist of working, paying jobs and better living conditions for the middle eating, and sleeping and nothing more. Life is not fun class. In spite of all the problems the benefits far for the poor. Because of this change in life style for outweigh them. the poor, kids have to start hard labor in factories at The Industrial Revolution contributed negatively the age of 6 and would work 14-hour shifts. People towards society. Because England’s cities grew more die at a young age and families can’t be complete rapidly, they had no development plans, sanitary codes, families. In the short run these outcomes of torn or building codes. They lacked proper housing, families, short lives, child labor, and over pollution education, and police protection. Most of the unpaved hurt more than help. As time progresses and streets had no drains, and garbage collected in stacks improvement comes about, these things have begun on them.

Anti Child Labor Pro Child Labor Letter to Editor Letter to Editor Chris Steinker Thomas Drasler Dear Editor, Dear Editor, Children as young as six years old are Many people have been arguing that allowing child working hard hours for little or no pay. Sometimes they work up to 19 labor is wrong, however I would like to point out the benefits hours a day, with one-hour break. These children have to not only work to you. It is actually crucial for the betterment of the child and long grueling hours, but also work in horrible conditions. Large, heavy, his family to defend the child labor employment opportunities. and dangerous equipment is what these children are using or working near. Many accidents happen everyday, injuring or even killing the These opportunities allow for families to earn more money children on the job. Out of all the children, orphans have it the worst. from their children’s contribution so that the family could buy Factory owners justify their absence of being paid by saying that they more food and provide for itself. Not only does it allow gave the orphans food, clothing, and shelter, which was not all true. families to continue living but it also keeps children out of These children not only work under terrible and dangerous conditions, trouble. Allowing child labor instills a strong work ethic witch but also receive cruel treatment by people working there. The treatment leads to a stronger community. One of the benefits of having of children in the factories is often cruel and unusual, and the children’s child labor is that the children are very cheap for their work. It safety is generally neglected. The people who the children are serving will beat them, verbally abuse them, and take not consideration for their is also positive for the working environment because the safety. Both boys and girls who work in factories are subject to beatings children do not stand up for themselves against their managers. and other harsh forms of pain. One common punishment for being late Another benefit of permitting child labor is that the children or not working hard enough would be to be “weighted”. Someone ties a could fit into smaller places for working in the coal mines, heavy weight to the children’s neck, and have them walk up and down they also have smaller hands which means they can build the factory so the other children could see them and know what not to smaller things with more detail. These are some of the reasons do. Weighting can lead to serious injuries in the back and or neck. These children do not deserve the long lasting pain and agony that they why I’m for child labor. undergo. They should be in school learning, not working to extreme 2 conditions. This is basically slavery

Jethro Tull, Eli Whitney, and George Stephenson are due to the increase of efficiency from the seed drill and crop just of a few to contribute their ingenuity to the world. rotation technique. While the populations of the cities are Jethro Tull invented the seed drill, which places each seed increasing, the housing amount has not keeping track at the exactly where it is wanted inside the soil. This allows for same pace. This is leaving many people homeless or living even more food to be produced added on to the recently discovered crop rotation technique. With more food in shacks. There was also no sewage system in place, so all of the waste created by new people in the city never moved. available people can have jobs as artisans, tradesmen, and As a result of this, a Cholera outbreak is happening all over factory workers since they don’t need to work on farms to the urban cities of England. It causes dysentery that leads to survive. Wit these jobs becoming available cities are a death by malnutrition or dehydration if not treated. Also, urbanizing very quickly. Another invention named the the factories created all over created large amounts of cotton gin built by Eli Whitney separates the seed from the pollution. All of this is bringing the average life span in the cotton allowing a quicker yield of the crop. Cotton clothes have become much cheaper and available to all. No longer cities down to 17 years. The life expectancy in the country is 37 years. The city growth is having wonderful economic are the nobles the only ones who can wear comfortable effects though. England has become the largest producer of clothes; the poor can now afford the comfort of soft textile in the world. This brings more money into the clothing. George Stephenson created the steam engine country, allowing more jobs, better pay, and more inventions nicknamed “The Rocket”. This train is the faster than any to be created. The more money textiles bring into England machine in history thus far. It goes an astonishing 15 MPH. the more factories are created; which in turn creates more Travel now goes four times faster than that by carriage. For the first time travel has become something one would do jobs. The workers of England are far better compensated for their work than those of India or China. With this money for fun instead of just for business. A person can go from people can afford nicer things, have a variety of foods, and London to Liverpool and back in one day, while before it have a better home. With so much money coming into took four. Another invention to impact society recently is England people could invest in inventors and these paved roads. John McAdam realized that if you stack rocks inventions create more jobs and a better quality of life for us with the smallest at the top and largest at the bottom, then English. the water would off the surface of the roads. This lets the roads be open no matter whether it be snowing, sunny, or pouring rain. A paved road lets trade all over the country become a non-stop service. No longer will you be stuck at home instead of in the city having fun due rain closing marvelous inventions down all of the roads. All of these are due the geniuses of the 19th century.
