Lord George Macartney should have kowtowed to Emperor Qian-long

Lord Macartney compromised with the Chinese by offering the same respect as he gave his own King, George III, the Chinese accepted that offer, and historians should accept that compromise in the spirit in which it was offered and accepted. This question by its phrasing implies that Lord Macartney should have forgotten who he represented, that is, King George III, and treated Emperor Qian-long according to China's limited idea (at the time) of its position in the world. King George III had a different idea of the potential relationship between Great Britain and China from that of Emperor Qian-long.

What was a negative consequence of the Industrial Revolution

The industrial revolution began in England in the middle of the 18th century. The there were both positive and negative results concerning this new economic age. Speaking to the question regarding negatives of the industrial revolution there were many. And, the ones outlined here in England were similar to ones that occurred in other nations as the industrial revolution began in those countries. Due to various landowner friendly laws, many people left farming to find work in the factories in the larger cities. In the early years of the industrial revolution, the factory workers became completely dependent on the factory owners for their jobs and income. This dependency brought with it hardships for the workers. Wages were low and barely enabled workers to buy food and find adequate housing. The working day was extremely long, working hours of up to sixteen hours per day were not uncommon. Child labor became necessary for families to survive. The inherent problem with this aside from its cruelty was that factory owners were able to pay children less than regular workers causing additional social problems.

Factories were unsafe, dimly lighted and work related accidents were common. And, as new technologies emerged, fewer workers were needed causing unemployment.
