Impacts of the Industrial Revolution
Description
This program provides an overview of the most significant impacts on working conditions and the environment during and after the Industrial Revolution. The time period is notorious for its dangerous factory conditions, lack of worker and child labor rights, and for overcrowded, unsanitary and polluted cities. As a result, protests and new laws improved labor and environmental issues, though problems still exist today.
