Prompt: Europe's Industrial Revolution positively impacted all of its citizens in a positive way.
The matter of Europe's Industrial Revolution is similar to a two sided coin. The revolution benefited curtain people and not others. In the case of the lower and middle classes the industrial revolution was extremely beneficial. These classes of citizens were during and after the revolution, provided with jobs and a steady source of income. This is because with the industrial revolution citizens transitioned from an agriculturally based society to a factory and mass production driven society. People were no longer only making money during the time of the year when they could grow their crops. On the other hand upper class citizens and the nobility began to lose much of their power during the industrial revolution. As workers became more equal and band together, they understood their power in numbers. With this new found power they began to demand more rights as citizens. As a supporter and forerunner for Social Darwinism this is not a just way to run a society. The nobility who are now losing their power and authority to the masses are being treated just as unjustly. It is the nobilities right from birth to rule, as it is why they are at all existent. With this change in society, as an effect of Europe's Industrial Revolution, all people of society will be influenced either positively or negatively.
