Some historians have argued that mankind was better off before the Industrial Revolution and that mankind would be better off today without it. To what extent do you agree/disagree? Why? Explain, making certain to incorporate historical details from the course materials (lectures, readings, websites).
Remember, simply writing a response to the questions does not guarantee you points. You are expected to make thoughtful, informed posts to the questions. Think of these as little essays (300-550 words) where you must develop a thesis statement or topic sentence and give a complete answer with details and examples (evidence). Proofread before submitting—do NOT have grammatical, punctuation, or other proofreading errors in your post.
