During the time between 1890 and 1920, industrialization became a huge and influential part of human society. There were costs that it brought with it, but the benefits were worth it. The Picture of a factory area (Shown below) shows how many job opportunities were opened because of the new factories being built. Therefore allowing immigrants to get jobs, earn more money, and move out of the crowded apartments with other families. This would make it harder to spread disease because they would be living with fewer people in cleaner places. Therefore helping society stay healthy. Now many people are saying that Industrialization was not worth the cost of human lives lost in factory accidents. According to an accident report of a factory, around 804 lives were lost a year in the factories. But no battle is ever won without casualties. For every life lost in the factory, another ten are saved because of the people earning money to feed their families, who could get jobs to help more people. More were saved from the factory then lost. The industrialization provided jobs and much more for people. Likewise, the add for the Remington Typewriter shows some of the things industrialization provided to the people. This provided a new and much more effective way of writing reports, books, and other pieces of writing. The Typewriter also inspired programs like MS Word, Pages, and Google Docs. Which are now a vital part of human society as we know it. They are used by millions upon millions of people for almost any job you would ever work at. Industrialization had its costs, but it had benefits that were worth it. Without the industrial revolution, humans would still be a bunch of farming horseriding people with only one set of clothes. Sacrifices were made, but the final result was worth it.

Will, I agree with you very much. And you made a great strong argument. Good job!
