Write three logical arguments that support the claim. Be sure to include evidence to support each argument.
Arguments that support the claim Evidence (Be sure to include the source.)
1: There were both positive and negative effects during the Industrial Revolution, but the best part is that the positive effects outweigh the negative effects. The positive effect was Advances in transportation have benefited in the fast expansion of better transportation in the economy.
“Huge increases in the production of goods led to a need for better transportation systems. Producers needed faster ways to get their goods to market. As a result, improved roads were constructed. Canals were dug to connect existing waterways.”

2: There were always more positive impacts than negative effects whenever it came to the Industrial Revolution. The negative effects of the
“Though many people in Britain had begun moving to the cities from rural areas before the Industrial Revolution, this process
industrial revolution was accelerated dramatically with industrialization, as the rise of large factories turned smaller towns into major cities over the span of decades.

3:
During this period, new sources of fuel and methods of collecting it became more widely recognized, causing the economy to expand.

“
Steam power was first applied to pump water out of coal mines. For centuries, windmills had been employed in the Netherlands for the roughly similar operation of draining low-lying flood plains. Wind was, and is, a readily available and renewable energy source, but its irregularity was considered a drawback.

“In the decades to come, outrage over substandard working and living conditions would fuel the formation of labor unions, as well as the passage of new child labor laws and public health regulations in both Britain and the United States, all aimed at improving life for working class and poor citizens who had been negatively impacted by industrialization.”

Explain why the arguments and evidence that support the claim are stronger than the argument and evidence that support the counterclaim.
I believe that the positive aspects of the Industrial Revolution outweigh the negative aspects; the Industrial Revolution resulted in illnesses, pollution, low pay, and unfair treatment of employees. It did, however, introduce the world to the future. In the end, machines make life simpler, even if they do require the involvement of matinanice and people to operate them. Our economy grew positively as a result of the industrial revolution, and people got better quality products. Without them, things would be considerably worse, with overworked employees, despite the fact that this is something that has to be addressed.
