13. Conclusion
• Mass production helps to produce things in a
higher quantity, and in a faster way. Thanks to this,
products are cheaper, and goods are more
accessible. Mass production created more fields of
work, this creates more competition, although it
had the same side effects that the Industrialization
brought in 1800’s in England.Children in Asia are
being exploited, and their quality of life has
decreased.It also have help to create new inventions
but this method creates a lot of pollution.
