Two factors contributed to mass pollution, population growth and rise of machines during industrial revolution. In the past 150 years, humans have risen to become the major polluters. In the past one and a half centuries we humans have brought about the rise of democracy, and fall of communism. We’ve survived two world wars, two great recessions, and one nuclear crisis. We have also managed to do something that no other animals could do in the past millions of years, we brought about mass pollution, habitat loss, health issues, and mass extinctions. Because of the population growth and civilization venturing into habitats once roamed by the beasts, and humans have come into contact with many new diseases. We have also endangered ourselves as well as thousands of other animals. As a matter a fact according to the UN about 150 species of plants and animals go extinct every day, to put this in perspective about 6 go extinct every hour. Due to this pollution is bad and is a major concern that we have to take seriously. Humans are the main cause of Pollution. But we can’t exactly blame ourselves for it, I think that where ever there is progress there will be pollution. Pollution is unacceptable and has to be stopped, if we don't do it for ourselves then we …show more content…
Well you should take a good look at it the next time you see it. Due to increasing temperatures, animals, like foxes, butterflies, and plants, are moving north to colder zones. Some animal misfits are also benefiting from the warm weather, the spruce beetle is one of these species, they enjoy the warmth and have devoured 4 million acres of spruce trees in Alaska. The population of some polar animals are also decreasing, for example the Polar Bear, Adelie Penguin, and Emperor Penguins. If we as humans don't past regulations and laws for factories emission and companies, the world will surely loose a lot of animal species and area for the next generation to see and live
The industrial revolution was an important step for England and the other countries in Europe in the 19th century. It has been debated that the industrial revolution had either a positive or a negative effect on the general public in England, but that depends the on the type of people you ask.
Pollution can cause changes in the planet’s energy balance, such as changes in the greenhouse effect, which affects the amount of heat retained by Earth’s atmosphere, variations in the sun’s energy reaching Earth changes in the reflectivity of Earth’s atmosphere and surface. The changes have changed the climate many times which have an effect on humans also. (NRC EPA. 2010) Our planet can is good at reusing waste but humans are producing more than what the Earth can handle. Pollution happened at different stages and it has an impact on all living things including species and humans. Unfortunately, humans are the most polluting species.
Pollution has become a heated issue in recent years. The destruction of the environment along with serious health problems are the eventual effects. The extensive use and availability of automobiles, tremendous amounts of production in the booming economy and the constant increase in demand for energy, can be held responsible.
The Industrial Revolution began in England during the late 1700s. It came with a wide range of both positive and negative effects for the economy and the people. Looking back from today, the Industrial Revolution was definitely a positive thing, as people now have a high standard of living with lots of conveniences. One must also acknowledge the people living during the Industrial Revolution and how they viewed the Industrial Revolution as a bad thing that came with many negative effects. While some might argue that Industrialization had primarily negative consequences for society because of the terrible living conditions and hazardous working conditions, it was actually a positive thing for society. Industrialization’s positive effects
Although the industrial revolution led to more advanced discoveries and inventions, it was more damaging than constructive because factories and coal mines were built that required laborers to work for long hours, in dangerous conditions, and at a young age. 1. People often worked 12-14 hours, but if the factory was busy, they could have to work for up to 18 hours. 2. They were forced to work in the dark because they didn’t have access to candles.
In American history, the Industrial Revolution was a huge impact to our everyday lives. The Industrial Revolution was a time when many inventions were made to help make daily life easier. Although working conditions were poor and some inventions caused pollution, these inventions were very beneficial. The Industrial Revolution was a positive period in American history.
The Industrial revolution was a turnign point on history that altered the ways mankind worked forever. Many countries were affected by the industrial revolution, but England and Japan were two that had a great impact on the world. In England the Industrial Revolution started around 1800s. While in Japan, the Industrial Revolution started around the 1900s. Women inboth places were put through long hours with very little breaks. The smoke the factories put off was very thick and was very bad for the health of the workers. If not for the men, woman, and children working in mills everything would be different today all over the world. Their were many differences between the workers in England and the workers in Japan. The differences can be categorized into four groups: working conditions, gender/age, wage/salary, and background. When looking at the differences you can also see some resemblances between the two places.
In the 17 and 1800s, Europe was reeling from the effects of the Agricultural Revolution and new resources that changed the lives and diets of the poor. Inventions such as the seed drill by Jethro Tull and the spinning jenny by James Hargreaves awakened a desire for even further inventions that would improve the quality of life and make goods even more accessible. As the cottage system was slowly morphing into a factory system, especially Great Britain saw a massive surge in industrialization. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the rapid urban development, as a result of industrialization, led to deplorable living and working conditions for the city’s poor and in conjunction an influx of negative thinking towards the adoption of the factory system
In the 1760s though the 1820’s Britain started to use machines to produce goods instead of doing it by hand mostly, due to the fact that the items were easier to maker, therefore making them cheaper, and improving life. This also spawned, much later though, the digital revolution, which involved using technology, not machinery. The Industrial Revolution transformed the European society by, making busier cities, increasing the population, and polluting the continent.
The Industrial revolution had negative effects on society in the 18th century. Due to world war 2 and the manufacturing of products being supplied to the war caused the industrial revolution to flourish. The war started the industrial revolution in the 18 century due to demand and supply of natural resources. The manufacturing of metal was in high demand for military purposes in supporting the war. The manufacturing of food rationing was also needed for nourishment for the military soldiers while in deployment. The industrial revolution negative effects were primarily on underage workers, pollution and toxic waste that corroded the environment, and unfair treatment of women working in industrial manufacturing industries.
Throughout this book we have gone through history talk about the advancements that led to the western world we know it to be today. In the final part of the book they talk about modernity. This starts in the 1750s and goes through present time. Through this time period starting with the Industrial Revolution then talks about liberty and prosperity then finished off the book with globalization and colonization.
The Industrial Revolution occurred in England during the 1800’s. There were many innovations that helped England industrialize, some like: the Spinning Jenny, Flying Shuttle, Power Loom,(Doc 6) etc. There are various reasons why and how the Industrial Revolution began in England. It all started with the Agricultural Revolution and the changes in the clothing industry. The Industrial Revolution started due to the amount of resources on England, the migrating farmers that created the factory work forces, and the innovations in the clothing and agriculture industries.
The problem of pollution comes with the ever expanding human population. With this growing population our demand for products also increases. We live in a consumer society, especially in the United States, and making huge quantities of products generates a large amount of pollution and waste. American citizens love to buy, we represent only 5% of the global population but we use 25% of the world's resources. The unfortunate part is that all the resources we use to make products end up in some landfill somewhere because a huge amount of Americans don't understand the importance of recycling and reducing consumption of products. American citizens throw away 40% of the food they purchase. That number is ridiculous, especially since so many Americans
The Industrialization impacted the United States in good ways and in bad ways. The economic part of the Industrialization helped the economy grow much larger than it was. It was a bad thing for the social life because the nativists did not like how immigrants were coming over for jobs. Also about how there were three main classes. The cultural part was when new languages and new religions came into the country. These three things, economic, social, and cultural had a impact on the United States.
Pollution has become a prevalent issue worldwide and has begun to affect the air used to breathe, the soil used to grow food, and the water used to drink. All of these effects result in commonly occurring destruction of health and wildlife that one may have seen on the news or heard from peers. In order to live, one needs food, water, clothing, and shelter. If the water and food that society consumes gets contaminated, a major component of life has been eradicated, which can only have negative consequences. If more people are educated as to what effects the environment, the world has a chance to counteract the effects of pollution. The main causes of pollution are the burning of fossil fuels such as with car exhausts, littering as a result of societal norms and laziness, and factory waste as a result of lax waste regulation, and can result in mass destruction of the environment and catastrophic effects on the everyday lives of contemporary people.
