Arguments that support the claim Evidence (Be sure to include the source.)

1: Job opportunities had a positive effect on society

due to the Industrial Revolution

With more factories being opened and the industry

growing, more jobs were opening for men and

women. This was giving people more opportunities

3: Visual arts had a positive effect on society due to

the Industrial Revolution.

During the late 1800’s, visual arts developed new

styles such as realism and impressionism. When

these new styles of art were developed, artists

started to portray what was really happening in the

world. It didn't matter how shocking or dark they

were. Art was also being portrayed with the

changing of light using shadowing. This helped

advance art in many ways.

Write a counterclaim related to the claim. Hint: the counterclaim is often the opposite of the claim.

Counterclaim: While the Industrial Revolution had both positive and negative effects on society and the

good, but this had led to overcrowding. The health

codes weren't the best so sickness and many

diseases broke out and were in the streets and

cities.

Explain why the arguments and evidence that support the claim are stronger than the argument and

evidence that support the counterclaim.
