Some may say that the industrial revolution is providing all people with adequate resources resulting in the industrial revolution being a positive impact on all citizens. This could not be farther from the truth. Those outside of the mills who are being provided with these resources that are being produced may consider this revolution as a substantial gain for themselves but do not consider the conditions in which these items are made. Most of the textile mills today are employing children to old adults who are working from dusk to after dawn with a pay that will not sustain a life for themselves and their families. Therefore, the industrial revolution has not made a positive impact on all citizens. I hope that soon all mills will resemble the ones that I manage in New Lanark. My mills provide the children with a good education, housing for the workers, and social time for them to enjoy each other. Along with free medical care since many people are injured working in mills. The well being of my workers are very important to me and should be for all mill owners. If the workers are happy and provided with necessary resources they will produce a better product and more of it. Overall Europe's Industrial Revolution has not positively impacted all of the citizens in a positive way.
Don't forget how hardworking the people are who still make their necessities by hand and put their lives into it.
