         <description><![CDATA[<p>Tony Gonzalez, Madelyn Reynolds, Leo Espinoza</p><ol><li><p>Manchester was segregated and environmentally toxic. Heaps of garbage and "stagnant pools of water" were throughout the city because of poor sanitation and drainage. Housing  was crowded and filthy, referred to as "cattle-sheds for human beings." The overcrowding and poor sanitation management was due to the sudden industrialization and city growth. In Chadwick's report he linked the poor conditions and sanitation to disease and premature death. Life expectancy for laborers was only 17 years old in these conditions compared to other professionals.</p></li><li><p>We can conclude from Chadwick's statistics that industrialization increased the urban density caused the poor sanitation of environment and cramped housing. This caused disease to easily be spread and resulted high rates of disease and death among these areas. Resulting in the shortening of life expectancy.</p></li></ol>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<ol><li><p>These two documents reveal much about the environmental impacts of industrialization. For example, crammed living quarters for the poor working class rural create areas of extreme filth. On top of this, the water in the rivers became polluted, and there were many areas where fecal matter and other displaying materials were in every walkway. One quote that supports this is, “Right and left a multitude of covered passages lead from the main street into numerous courts, and he who turns in thither gets into a filth and disgusting grime, the equal of which is not to be found.” (Engles). A second quote that supports this is, “Everywhere heaps of debris, refuse, and offal; standing pools for gutters and a stench which alone would make it impossible for a Gorman being in any degree civilized to live in such a district.” (Engles). Overall, the conclusion that can be made after reading both sources is that the poor were contained to one area to keep them out of the way of the middle class public. This was because there was a distain for their poor and blamed them for disease.</p></li><li><p>The conclusion that can be made from the report is that there was an extreme connection between health problems and industrialization. Many of the poor needed the jobs in thatcher factory or mines and the pollution and lack of essential care from the rest of the public caused many frequent deaths among the poor working class.</p></li></ol>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<ol><li><p>It led to poor living qualities, like poor sanitation, bad water quality, weak infrastructure. Families tended to live in cramp quarters together. The houses being more temporary places for breaks between shifts than actual homes. A good quote to show the quality of living was a quote from Engel reading "everything which arouses horrors and indignation is of recent orgin belongs to the industrial epoch". This shows that Engel blames primarily the industrial revolution for the poor living quality and treatment of the working class. Even in the second article the description of living conditions read as "long string of the most disgusting blackish green slime pools are left standing on this bank" he goes on to describe the air quality as well. Both authors exposing the less than standard living conditions that the working class are exposed to.</p></li><li><p>The industrial revolution led to poor health standards for people. This came through the working classes tendency to follow their schedules and comfort in their routines. The class differences also led to poor treatment and infrastructure of the working class and their homes. The statistics showed a majority of deaths from asthma, and lung related deaths from possible air pollution. This could be from the factories producing pollution near the homes of the working class leading to people with underlying health conditions, primarily lung conditions, to have complications from air quality.</p></li></ol>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<ol><li><p>These two documents tell us that the living quarters for people especially those of the lower-class live-in filth because of the unmaintained environment. Causes of unclean space would be from poor air and water quality from the people working in unclean jobs as well as contaminated water sources. We can conclude that their areas were unable to be maintained not because of simple negligence. In the second source it says, "Their proprietors or landlords, with a few exceptions, have not properly supplied them with water." It also says, that their must rise early and return late for work, "It is a serious inconvenience, as well as discomfort to them to have to fetch water at a distance out of doors from the pump or the river on every occasion that it might be wanted.</p></li><li><p>Majority of the deaths were due to asthma or lung issues caused by working in poor air quality such as the mines (Mostly those of lead) or blacksmiths. These two jobs simply contribute much to the industrialization, and these two examples also lead to many health issues among the citizens.</p></li></ol>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Names: Wren Olson, Calin Swan, Natalie Tish, Phia Angel,Ellie Phillips</p><p><br></p><ol><li><p>In nineteenth-century England, industrialization led to unsafe and unsanitary living conditions, especially in areas where the poor working class resided. As Engles discusses, the waterways were turned into slush, with England being the biggest industrial city at the time. As he describes, "In dry weather, a long stream of the most disgusting, blackish-green, slime pools are left standing on this bank ... bubbles of miasmatic gas ... give forth a stench unendurable." The polluted waterways threatened public health and made these areas of England virtually unlivable. Engles goes on to describe "heaps of debris, reffuse, and offal; standing pools for gutters, and a strench which alone would make it impossible for a human being in any degree of civilised to live in such a district." We can conclude that the polluted areas that arose as a result of industrialization were forced upon the poor, working-class, who could not afford better housing.</p><p><br></p></li><li><p>From the statistics in Chadwick's report, we can conclude that industrialization adversely affected the health of the poor, working class to the point that many died of health complications related to environmental pollution. Inflamed lungs, cholera, consumption of nasty chemicals and gases, and asthma, among other conditions related to the unhealthy environment killed off much of the working class, especially miners.</p></li></ol>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<ol><li><p>The two documents tell us that the richer classes subjected the poor to really bad living conditions to the point where they were unable to maintain their living situations. This caused for a lot of the communities to be trashed and discheveled. Due to the lower classes living in more industrialized areas this caused for more water pollution because of the lack of resources to properly take care of themselves and their homes. This helps us conclude that the situations that the poor were put into sort of forced them into uncleanly habits creating a never ending cycle of suffering and poor maitenence/poverty. Edwin Chadwick states, "going out and bringing home water from a distance acts as an obstacle to the formation of better habits;" (Chadwick). This claim shows how their living situation made it difficult to keep up with their cleanliness, proving that this maitenence problem is never ending. Another factor that made this issue much worse is the overpopulating/overcrowded areas or apartments. Having less space did not allow everyone to have room or spaces to discard waste. Friederick Engels says, "Among them are mills on the river, in short the method of construction is as crowded and disorderly here as the lower part of long millgate" ... "covered passages lead from the main street into numerous courts and he who turns in thither gets into filth and disgusting grime" (Engels). This also shows how the overpopulated areas suffered for the same reasons. </p></li><li><p>Conclusions that we can form are that the surrounding factories also played a large part in this issue. The smoke the factories let off led to many lung related illnesses such as asthma, inflammation of the lungs etc. Due to this industrialization a lot of people were getting sick due to the lack of regulations regarding pollution which ultimately led up to a workplace safety hazard. These illnesses were then brought home to families causing rapid spreading amongst families and neighbors. </p></li></ol>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Jared Zaiss, Abigail Phipps, Conrad Johnson</p><p><br></p><ol><li><p>Industrialization had severe impacts on the quality of water, as well as leading to an increase in workers. That lead to an increase in workers housing, which also leads to a greater amount of deforestation. </p></li><li><p>Quotes from the sources: </p></li></ol><p>In regards to the quality of water, the first paper stated “in dry weather, a long string of the most disgusting blackish green slime pools are left standing on this bank from the depths of which bubbles of my gas constantly arise and give for a stench unendurable.” </p><p>In regards to the house the first statement states “ this whole collection of cattle sheds for human beings was surrounded on two sides by houses and a factory, and on the third by the river, and beside the narrow stair up the bank, a narrow doorway alone led out into another almost equally ill built ill kept labyrinth of dwellings” </p><p>3. Conclusions </p><p>The statistics, specifically in the second source, show that the quality of life showed that the working class were at greater risk of dying from disease and cholera, due to the conditions that they lived in.  </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Zavian, Esthefany, Sasha, Shirlyn</strong></p><ol><li><p>Both writes tell us how industrialization in nineteenth century led to a major increase in pollution and poor living conditions. Engels explains that "a long string of the most disgusting blackish-green, slime pools are left standing on this bank, from the depths of which bubbles of miasmatic gas constantly arise and give forth a stench unendurable", this quote explains how industrialization effected the stream banks in England during this time. Similarly, Chadwick explains that "In times of scarcity it is no uncommon occurrence to see from 80 to 100 persons waiting at each public well for water". In this quote, Chadwick explains to the reader that even necessities like water were difficult to get during this time.</p></li><li><p>We can conclude that the poor access to clean water combined with the amount of pollution caused by factories and industrialization greatly contributed to the increase in sicknesses and diseases and ultimately led to a decrease in life expectancy.</p></li></ol>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<ol><li><p>The two documents tell us that though industrialization had great impacts on the economy, it was at the expense of the working/lower class as it caused pollution a filthy environment that didn’t affect the wealthy as much. </p><p>“As it relates to the latter, in my opinion a great want of accommodation for the bedrooms often occurs, so that you may frequently find the father, mother, and children all sleeping in the same apartment, and in some instances the children having attained the age of 16 or 17 years,” This quote shows the living conditions that the poor had to endure, all sleeping in the same cramped room, so if a family member were to get sick from a contagious disease caused likely from the filthy environment they were forced to live in, it would be likely that the rest of the family would contract the disease as well.</p><p>“In one of these courts there stands directly at the entrance, at the end of the covered passage, a privy without a door, so dirty that the inhabitants can pass into and out of the court only by passing through foul pools of stagnant urine and excrement.” This shows just how filthy the environment was and how unavoidable it was for the poor/working class. Prior to sanitation enforcements from the cholera pandemic, it was common for human and animal waste to be surrounded in their area.</p></li><li><p>It can be concluded from the statistics provided that the health and wellbeing of labor workers were not a priority for industrialization because a majority of miners died from Asthma and consumption. Industrialization caused pollution and it affected the poor/working class more than the wealthy.</p><p><br></p></li></ol>]]></description>
