differences between the two paragraphs is that the employers are much more
concerned in 1996 meaning the surroundings are much cleaner for the workers
can work better.
In the 1820’s The work hours were very high as they had a lot of work to do
and very little time to do it in. The workers could not refuse to work for less hours
as the employer would fire them and also the workers needed the money.
In 1996 there is not that much work do so the employers would give an
average 8 hours to work a day.
To conclude this point the differences between the 1820’s and 1996 is that
there is not that work to do so the employers don’t want the workers to work for
that long.
In the 1820’s lunch breaks were for a short time as the workers had too
much work to do they only had time have their lunch and no extra time for relaxing.
In 1996 lunch is an average 1 to 2 hours a day because workers say to the
employers we won’t work with out a good amount of break.
The differences between the 1820’s and 1996 is that workers cannot relax
and have no extra time after eating lunch.
In the 1820’s workers would not be able to get a holiday because for starters
they would not have enough money and then some employers would not even give
them time of work when there is too much work to be done. Also the workers were
kids and so they could not go on holidays without guidance.
In 1996 workers get a lot of time of work and also get paid vacations so they
don’t have to spend their own money to go on holiday.
So in 1996 there are much more advantages and it is a much better life.
In the 1820’s the environment around work was very dirty, smelly and
polluted as the employers did not get cleaners to clean up because they had no
concern for the workers.
In 1996 the environment was nice and clean because there are cleaners to
clean up and the employers cared for their workers.
Workers in the 1820’s were at a disadvantage because with a dirty
environment it is hard to work.
In the 1820’s there were a lot of rules, regulations and discipline. Workers
had to work all day without day any breaks they were not trained that much so they
had to discipline themselves by training themselves.
In 1996 employer want at least a few years training before they employ you
and they have set rules and regulations.
The difference between the 1820’s and 1996 for rules, regulations and
discipline are that workers were not trained that much in 1820’s and they are more
disciplined in 1996.
In the 1820’s wages for the workers were very low. There were fixed wages
meaning if a worker worked extra to do more work he would get paid the same
amount and of course they could not work less hours.
In 1996 workers get paid a high amount and also it depends how long they
work. If they work over time they will get more but if they don’t work that day or
work for less hours they will get the same average amount for a day.
Workers in the 1820’s got paid very less for working a long time and hardly
made any profit compared to the workers in 1996.
In the 1820’s lots of people who were working carried diseases and illnesses
because of the dirty environment which when spreaded to other people made them
un well aswell. It effected the workshop heavily because as workers were ill they
could not work as good as they are capable of which meant the work Done work
was very less and eventually the company would be fired and the company will be
out of business.
In 1996 people were not ill and even if they were they would take the day off
and stay at home rather than coming to work to spread the illness.
The differences between the two dates were that workers could not miss any
days off in the 1820’s.
In the 1820’s levels of safety was very low because the machines and the tools
were sharp and were left out and also they no protections ( e.g. helmets, safety
glasses. etc...........) Also when people would get cut by a machine it would not stop
automatically you would have to stop it yourself and by the time you do that your
whole hand might be cut off.
In 1996 there is a lot of safety and equipment for safety if you get cut by a
machine it will stop automatically.
The differences are that machines were not as advanced in the 1820’s as they
are nowadays and there are more safety equipment in 1996.
In the 1820’s people’s attitudes to work was low and showed lack of
motivation. They hated it because it was long, hard worked they gained very little
profit, they were sick and tired of the environment, wages and safety. They really
wanted to complain but they could not.
In 1996 people love work because nearly everything is perfect for them.
Workers attitude to work in the 1820’s was very bad compared to the
workers attitude in 1996 because in 1996 they had everything they need so they
have no complaints.
To conclude the whole essay I think that working conditions have improved greatly
since the 1820’s. Workers nowadays should consider themselves extremely lucky.
