Transforming Lives: The Impact of the Industrial Revolution on Society

The Industrial Revolution marked a pivotal shift in production, introducing machines like the flying shuttle, spinning jenny, and cotton gin that revolutionized the textile industry. This era saw the rise of factories, urbanization as people flocked to job centers, and stark differences in lifestyles between factory workers and the middle class. The evolution of labor and industrialization also gave rise to support for laissez-faire business policies. Reflect on these changes and consider writing a journal entry from the perspective of a European citizen during this transformative period.
