There are positives and negatives to every event, and the Industrial Revolution was no exception. There were many improvements accompanied by drawbacks during industrialization. During the Industrial Revolution, new directions of science were taken, new ways of life were initiated, and new technologies were invented, and these positive results of industrialization outweighed the pain it caused to people and the environment. With science taking a new direction, people became healthier thanks to the introduction of vaccines, pasteurization, anesthesia, antiseptics and the importance of personal hygiene. With scientific advances, scientists have been able to study deadly diseases more closely. After the introduction of germ theory, Louis Pasteur developed vaccines to combat rabies and anthrax and introduced pasteurization to kill disease-carrying microbes in milk. The discovery of vaccinations has allowed people to become immune to deadly diseases around the world. Florence Nightingale introduced the necessary sanitary measures that every hospital should take and Joseph Lister discovered antiseptics that should be used to sterilize instruments before they are used to perform surgery. After the introduction of sanitary measures in hospitals, the rate of patients dying from infection days after surgery decreased. People were able to live longer and survive more diseases, thus increasing the population and supply of workers. As cities began to industrialize, farmers flocked to cities for employment opportunities. These farmers became laborers or miners who faced harsh conditions as they were crammed into homes without running water, sewerage, or clean drinking water. In addition to the harsh living conditions, factory…half of paper…, the machines were powered by steam engines that released large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The widespread use of steam locomotives and railways only intensified air pollution. But without these exploitations the world would never be as it is now. Without developments like the steam engine, countries would not be able to develop machines that increase productivity and lower the prices of goods. The positive results of the industrial revolution were worth the negative consequences it brought to Earth because cities would not be able to develop and half the population would continue to farm and use the production system to produce clothes and goods. The Industrial Revolution brought civilizations into a new era where travel became easier and faster, cities became cleaner and safer, and goods became cheaper and more accessible..
