Synthesis on migration during the Industrial Revolution |
Just like many workers in the industrial revolution, who migrated to earn money for their family, I relate and synthesize it with my aunt and many business workers. My aunt is a business woman and she travels to places for her job, she works hard and then after a week or month coming from wherever she is working, she brings home money. That is the money that fueled her kids through school and is bring the food on the plates and roofs over heads, just like what men and women would do in the industrial revolution.
