During the Second Industrial revolution there were positive and negative impacts of technology. Some positive impacts were the increase in productivity of industry. The switch to factories from individual homestead work in the Second Industrial revolution was the primary reason for this production increase. By having many workers in the same area working with advanced technology products became available to many more people. Also at this time many cultural entertainments arose, such as bare knuckle boxing, music halls, and librarries. Urban life provided many ideas and products to become available to the masses. However, there were also negative impacts of the Second Industrial revolution, one being workers health. Despite factories being a splendid, well paid job for factory owners; factories were dangerous, places of tedious repedative work for assembly line workers. Due to a combination of the fast pace working lines, lack of safety measures for workers, and long tiring hours workers would often seriously injure themselves. This, of course, would put the worker out of a job. Furthermore, without a worker compensation system workers would fall into poverty. As well as positive impacts, urban life provided negative impacts, such as common poverty.
The most interesting city in the world is Rio De janeiro. In Rio every year there is 'The Rio Carnival'. At this carnival there are many dancing women that lead large masses of samba dancers. At this carnival it is expected to dance and sing, to have fun and party. Also, Rio is central to brazilian cuisine. This cuisine varies from Brigadero to Pao de Queijo, or chocalately caramel to cheese balls. However, Rio like other cities has negative points. Rio is publically know to have a corrupt police force. In the slums, or low income housing, police forces have been incriminated of beating/ killing civilians in mob suppressions. In even bolder accusations, the Rio police force has been said to deal under the table with gangs and drug rings. Rio De janeiro is a city full of life and crime.
