Increased Industrialization - Benefits and Issues

Hi Friends,

Source

We have been hearing a lot about global warming, issues with ozone layer, rivers and seas increasing their water level due to global warming as the ice from cold regions is getting melted and we see more water flowing out of seas and cities are feeling that.

While this is not much at this point of time but it is said to increase at rapid phase if we don't take care of global warming.

So, what is the reason for this global warming? Mainly we can say it is due to increased industrialization where, there will be increased pollution in all terms, there will de-forestation to support the and required for factories and obviously, the land with forest are or trees will be the First target as that will be near to water sources, away from city people.

While industrialization is not only the reason, but it's the major One and Governments have to support these kind of industrialization revolution in order to support more production, to create more employments and to bow down to some big shots who doesn't care much about pollution and all but care more on their return on investments.

While we can say the industrialization has led to many issues, it has also provided benefits as below:

Employment opportunities.

Improved infrastructure and creation of more cities to support more industries built.

Improved manufacturing methods.

More production with efficiency.

Lower prices due to mass production.

Increase in improved lifestyle due to more employment opportunities.

So, as the lifestyle improved, more job opportunities earned, more cities were built to support the industrialization which led to urbanizations and more and more villages made cities by cutting trees in order to build roads and more land was acquired to build huge factories which has obviously been done at the expense of green life and removal of trees.

While the lifestyle improved, more cities created and urbanization happened, but this also means compromise with the nature to feed the land required for industrialization and urbanization and that has to happen at the expense of forests being demolished, village agricultural land being made barren land for construction of factories.

This obviously has led to imbalance in the nature as without green land, there will be effect on raining, production of oxygen, imbalance in temperature which is being known as global warming and many other issues.

Points of issues due to industrialization include:

Population increase.

Child labor to supply the manpower required.

All kinds of pollutions.

Decreased hygiene due to pollution and increase in diseases.

Compromise in safety of working people.

Rich became more richer and poor remained more poorer.

Increased cost of living due to improved facilities in urban areas.

The industrialization is good to some extent and as it provides job opportunities, improves lifestyle of the people due to improved earning options, but if we consider the issues in longer run, the disadvantages of industrialization are more compared to short term advantages.

The waste material or bi product of industries is considered to be hazardous to environment and leads to all sorts of issues. The waste water from industries is again considered the polluted or contaminated and most of the time, this polluted water will be transferred to rivers and that contaminates the water and is dangerous for the living beings in water and to even humans when that polluted water is consumed and even the crops will have issues with that water.

The polluted air expelled by industries is full of chemicals and is not fit for inhaling humans and animals and causes severe health issues and even affects the Ozone layer due to imbalance in the air quality.

The increased urbanization due to revolution in industries means, people from villages migrated to cities in search of jobs in factories and left their farm land barren which has also affected the production of food grains and has ultimately raised in food products price due to scarcity of grains.

So, in summary, we can say, the revolution in industrialization has improved lifestyle to some extent, increased production rapidly, but has also contributed more in terms of issues to mother earth and our generations and our upcoming generations have to bear the cost of this and will face serious health issues and have to bear natural calamities due to global warming.

Why I am writing about this topic of Industrialization?

Because I am participating in NovemberInLeo, the monthly prompts from @leogrowth and @leofinance team as announced through this blog which gives us an opportunity write on different topics and here is my response to day 4 with topic being Impact of the industrial revolution on society as we can see from below screenshot.
