American factories began to develop during the Industrial Revolution. The factory finally fully emerged in the 19th century. The industry was equipped with machines intended to develop the sector at a rapid pace. Many machines could move on their own controlled by a large wheel that was often placed at the base. As the nation continued to experience its machine revolution, it also continued to work on its infrastructure. In the mid-nineteenth century, the railway network expanded and the mechanization of many complicated trades broke out, hence the deepening of mechanization in American society, which is more advantageous than disadvantageous. Mechanization was a major challenge for many American workers who depended on employment. (Fleisig, 1976). The introduction of machines led to the dismissal of many workers. Furthermore, the machines required skilled personnel capable of increasing production. However, mechanization in America was more advantageous than disadvantageous. The industrial revolution highlighted the industrialization of society in three aspects: mechanization, division of labor and specialization (Goldin & Sokoloff, 1984). The three aspects used by industrialization played an important role in the creation of a modern industrial society. This was emphasized by the vision of having mass production in America. The mechanization movement had a great impact on the way people worked. For example, the implementation of the assembly line in factories created more jobs for people even as machines took some away. Mechanization in America had several basic principles: reduction of labor to simple labor, standardization, compulsion, and continuity. These are the basics b...... middle of paper ......n per hour. This was helpful to various people and thus changed the social life of the workers. By 1900, the demand for skilled workers decreased, so both women and children found work thanks to assembly lines. Some job sectors such as secretarial and sales positions were all occupied by women. In conclusion, although mechanization in America has led to many workers losing their jobs, it has also developed many different jobs in America. Transportation to America was advanced where shipping could be done easily. Production also grew and the textile industry developed thanks to the use of machines. Furthermore, America's reputation also grew where they could be trusted with standardized parts. This assured consumers that all assembled parts could fit together. In essence, the age of mechanization has had numerous benefits to America and its population.
