ch 18 industrial revolution

The concept of a "factory" is a new technology. People coming from small towns going to the city where its very different than what they grew up in. During the Industrialization period there was major changes in peoples lives, they experienced new life styles and they worked with new machines. At factories/production lines the workers would have to learn how to use a specific machine and learn how to do just one specific thing, rather than to multi-task like many of them did when they worked in there home small town fields. But there was social consequences and that was; living in a bigger city meant moving away with strangers, being on your own without family members around you. Many employees at these factories got injured and if they weren't good enough to keep working they lost there jobs. It was the "city" so there was tons of people in search of jobs and in search of money. Yes, many of these poor people had to keep working no matter how much they had because they knew that they didn't want to loose their jobs and they certainly did need the money to help their families in the villages.
