In this reading what didn’t cease to amaze me is how cruel the
human race can be at times. I was
surprised that in every single country that the industrial revolution hit, there
were cases of inhumanity. The ones who
were poor only seemed to be getting poorer and poorer while the wealthy
landowners and company owners had all the money. Not only did they make enormous amounts of
money, but they controlled the government.
Just the thought of having wealthy homes in a city and knowing that only a
few blocks away were people living like rats in tenements with lack of sewer,
sanitary control, and building codes that made for hazardous living
conditions is degrading to the human race. This to me is simply lack of morals from human beings to human beings.
