Three, Two, One

Three Things That I Have Learned:
1. The inventions created during the Industrial Revolution were among the most important inventions ever created.

2. Things sometimes work better when written on paper rather than when they are actually in use. Example: Communism.

3. When people come together and fight for something there is a very high chance that they will get what they want. Example: Women's rights and unions.

Two Things That I Found Interesting:
1. Even though the living conditions were poor, people worked long hours, wages were low, and young children worked, somehow the standard of living increased.

2. When working in a factory, women only made a third of what men made.

One Question I Still Have:
1. Why did people wait so long before forming unions? If they would have reformed sooner would they have gotten the same result?
