Use the excerpt from Jacob Riis's How the Other Half lives, 1890
In the excerpt, how are the urbanizing effects of the Second Industrial Revolution depicted? Explain
A. as favoring one socioeconomic class over others
B. as beneficial to adults but potentially harmful to children
C. as creating unhealthy living environments for people of all ages
D. as failing to live up to its promises of increased standards of living
The correct answer is C. as creating unhealthy living environments for people of all ages.
The excerpt describes the overcrowding and unsanitary conditions of the tenement buildings that resulted from the mass urbanization caused by the industrialization of America. Riis paints a picture of dirty streets and buildings where people are forced to live in poorly ventilated and cramped spaces, often with no access to clean water or proper sanitation. He describes the health problems that arise from these conditions, such as the spread of disease and high infant mortality rates. Overall, Riis depicts the urbanizing effects of the Second Industrial Revolution as creating unhealthy living environments for people of all ages.
