In the late 1700s, England revolutionized the world by creating machines. These machines caused factories to be built which then caused the need for workers. However during this time those workers were not treated well by the factory owners. Kids starting working at sometimes ages as low as 5 years old, and hours were very long. However, these factory workers weren't the only people who were treated bad, about 100 years into the future, 1885 to be exact, the Germans were holding a meeting called
The factory system was introduced in the 18th century and it was a method of manufacturing, where it was used in large establishments.

Bentley who started to work at a factory when she was only six years old said that she would work from 5 in the morning all the way to 9 at night. Imagine waking up that early to go to work for more than 12 hours. She also said that she didn’t have any time to get breakfast. When workers didn’t claim their food “the overlooker took it, and gave it to his pigs” (253, Bentley). This shows how much the owners cared about their workers. If people working at factories were late to work, they were beaten

Much of the public is unaware of the measures that farmers take to ensure economic benefits, and how they exploit the lives of many merely for decent profits. Currently, factory farms dominate the United States food production, instituting abusive
“A Gothic horror story of quite exceptional quality...macabre, bizarre and...quite impossible to put down.” The above quote is the response of the Financial Times to the best-selling novel, “The Wasp Factory”, and in my opinion, truer words were never spoken.
