For this project I was partners with Yumin, and our final product was a newspaper article that reflects upon the British Industrial Revolution and why we think that it wasn’t worth it for the people at the time.
In order to write the article we had to do some research on the Industrial Revolution (shown in our Evidence portion) and based on the research construct an opinion on the question “Was the British Industrial Revolution worth it for the people at the time? Do the ends justify the means?”.
I think we did a pretty good job, our research was good, and our article though lengthy was quite detailed and well written.
When we first started the Creative portion of the assignment (the newspaper article part) we thought we wanted to write about how it was worth it, however upon looking through our research, we decided that for the people at the time it honestly wasn’t worth it. We knew we were biased because most people would agree that for the people of our generation it was worth it because of all the technological advancements we have made since then (and none of that would have happened without the IR).
Overall I think Yumin and I did a good job, and it was an interesting project.
