Karl Marx (Spencer Taylor)
Well hello,
Some may say that Europe's Industrial Revolution positively impacted all of its citizens in a positive way. I completely disagree. Although the Industrial revolution may have made progress technologically speaking, it made zero progress in the well being of the vast majority of the human race. The structure of the Industrial Revolution is like a pyramid; on top you have the big boss company owners, and then as you get lower and lower you get all the people who are working for basically slave labor. I am a firm believer in communism, everyone is equal, so the capitalistic nature of the Industrial Revolution is completely against my beliefs. The only people who benefited from the Industrial Revolution are the business owners, the people who work in their factories were treated unfairly. The living conditions of these workers are truly appalling, they work strenuous hours, for little pay; barely enough to support their family. Not only do they work very hard long hours, it is very dangerous work, yet they still make nothing like the owners of these factories. So tell me, what makes the owners any more important or special than any of the people who actually work to provide the profit for the owners. NOTHING! Everyone should be treated and payed equally, that is the way of the future and the only way to achieve equal happiness.
Goodbye
-Karl Marx
I agree with you completely on the fact that most factory workers are not treated fairly or paid an adequate salary. Because of this I have built my own factory and provided my workers with an enjoyable life. I provide them with housing, schooling, entertainment, and days off. So just be be carful before you make conclusion that all factories treat their employees horribly, and I am happy to day I am not one of those people.

Oh contraire, although you may think your treating everyone well, your still failing to understand that you are putting yourself over them. Why not pitch in and help with the work?

ReplyDeleteI agree with you aswell not every person can be positively impacted by this event. Though we have different views on who will benefit or not, we are on the same page that this Industrial Revolution cannot possibly be helping everyone. There are always going to be two sides to every story just as there are going to be two sides to every Revolution, so not everyone can possibly be impacted in a positive way.
