Industrial
Revolution(testo espositivo)

In nineteenth
century Industrial Revolution broke out in England, then to expand in
Europe and in all the world; this Revolution resulted into two
systems of thought, one the opposite of the other: the Economic
science and the Socialism.

This period
was characterized by a continue dawn of innovations in the  iron
industry(smelting by pit-coal or steam-engine to blast furnaces), but
in particular in the textile field, for example with the
spinning-jenny, the water-frame, Crompton's mule and the self-acting
mule. This innovations provoked a series of facts that changed all
the humanity and its habits: from that moment people glimpsed the
modern age. In this time through the destruction of common-field
system of cultivation, through the enclosure and through the
consolidation of small farms into large,people of the countryside
started to go the cities to work and to earn more money so there was
a quite big decrease in rural population and a general growth of
cities population.

Thanks to
some very useful and interesting techniques applied to agriculture
like the breed of cattle, the steam-plough, the rotation of crops and
agricultural societies, people increased their well-being.
Considering the fact that there was a general sense of
well-being, there were a lot of more people in the cities so it was
necessary to improve the poor means of communication of those times:
this problem was sold with an expansion of railroads and a
development of canal system. Another important aspect of Industrial
Revolution is the fact that the market offered many opportunities,
also for small merchants: prices were quite affordable, there was a
big number of laborers originating from the countryside so the
commerce was subject of a notable increase.

On the other
hand it was not everything positive, because of the continue
disappearance of small farms and always greater formation of bigger
farms so laborers sometimes even don't know their chief (alienation
between farmer and laborer), in fact this kind of relationship would
go to disappear. Passing years law wages, high prices and fluctuation
of trade caused working people became destitute.

In
conclusion, even if Industrial Revolution had a lot of negative
aspects like pollution or poverty, certainly its merits were more
important then the defects.
