Industrialization changed not just the world's economies, but also its societies. Hundreds of thousands of men and woman moved from rural areas to cities to work in factories, where they experienced both the benefits and the costs of industrialization. The standard of living of the new working class was significantly higher than those of the rural poor. Many of those people who moved from farm to factory experienced improvement in nutrition, other material circumstances, even some in their health. These people also suffered from psychological effects of being "uprooted" from one way of life to a new. Factory owners, the new class of industrial capalists, were coming into extreme unprecedented wealth. They dealt with workers impersonally and the result was a growing schism between the 2 classes, each lacking access to or understand of the other. Working men and woman throughout the world began thinking of themselves as a distinct class, with common goals and interests. Battles between workers and employers became a characteristic feature of industrial life throughout the world
