WH 5.2 Reforming the Industrial World

“Businesses should decide how to operate. If workers don’t like the conditions, they can find other jobs. Government interference hurts competition and profits.”

“Factories provide jobs, but workers need protection. The government should regulate wages and safety so people aren’t exploited.”

“Factories should not be privately owned at all. As long as individuals own production, workers will be exploited. The system itself must be replaced.”

“Even if prices rise, improving conditions for thousands of workers creates more happiness overall. This decision benefits the majority.”

“Healthcare should be provided by private companies. Competition will improve quality, and people should pay for the care they choose.”

“Healthcare is a basic need. The government should ensure everyone has access, even if it means higher taxes.”

“As long as healthcare is profit‑based, inequality will exist. Medical services should be owned and controlled by the community, not businesses.”

“Providing healthcare to millions outweighs the complaints of those who pay more in taxes. Overall happiness will increase.”

“Transportation systems should be privately owned. If the project is profitable, companies will build it without government involvement.”

“Public transportation benefits everyone and should be managed by the government to ensure equal access.”

“Transportation should not be run for profit at all. The government should control all infrastructure to prevent inequality.”

“Even if taxes increase, the benefits to millions of people and the environment make this the right decision.”
