How was health during the Industrial Revolution?
Well the health was quite horrible, many people suffered from lung diseases and pollution spread everywhere, its was insane, many people died However, during the Industrial Revolution, medicine and disease treatment greatly improved, which sort of balanced the horrible living conditions.
Some attention to these conditions was accorded by Parliament in the form of Public Health Acts. These acts did improve conditions, though they were largely ineffective, for they did not grant local Boards of Health the powers to compel improvements. Royston Pikes Hard Times is literally a treasure chest brimming with short stories that document living and working conditions during the Industrial Revolution.
These stories may be utilized in the classroom in a variety of ways, and they should be quite effective in conveying the reality of life during this period. Pages 43-57 of Pikes book provide an excellent overview of typical living conditions.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
