Tplease help me.. I’m an italian girl..

The nineteenth century saw a huge growth in the population of Great Britain.
The reason for this increase is not clear, probably, for example, people living longer, immigration and the industrial evolution, people comes in the cities for better way of life. Large numbers of people were looking for work, so wages were very low, and there were only few available jobs. In the 19th century, people lived in very difficult conditions because they lived near factories with poor hygiene. They had bad nutrition. This favoured mortality and diseases. Towards 1830 charity associations came to help the poor families. People could be ill with cholera when they drank water. Streets in London were dirty. Conditions of life were very difficult. Children lived in the street and the industrial revolution caused pollution. The more struck of the society were the children: They worked hard to helped their parents because families were very poor and they didn’t have enough money. There were children living with their families in these desperate situations but there were also numerous, homeless, destitute children living on the streets of London. Many children were turned out of home and left to fend for themselves at an early age and many more ran away because of ill treatment. Many of them lived by stealing, and to the respectable Victorians they must have seemed a very real threat to society. The children were also underpaid, they worked for only a few ponds.

Prostitution: the other victims of the poverty were the women, a lot of them and young girls were forced by theirs families to prostitute.
Organizations, clergymen and single women became concerned about prostitution, which came to be known as "The Great Social Evil”. The years between 1848 and 1870 saw a veritable explosion in the number of institutions working to "reclaim" these "fallen women" from the streets and retrain them for entry into respectable society—usually for work as domestic. The prostitutes were treated as commodities, they were to the acieses of the society and they didn’t have any right, and often they were subject of maltreatments , blackmail and also homicides.

If conservatives had their way with letting businesses do anything they want – should the worst be expected?

For example if conservatives including not just the republicans, but especially the libertarians and the government wasn’t regulating oil companies and other businesses anymore – that reminds me of days of the industrial revolution. In those days there was thousands and thousands of people who died from work related injuries and no overtime pay but employers nonetheless forced people to work for overtime and many employers still on paid for full time weekly wages. In other words, imagine working at a very dangerous job where someone was forced to work 100 hours a week and was just paid for working 40 hours. Then imagine no health care insurance and someone got seriously hurt on the job and they died because their employer had no safety standards, couldn’t get medical attention because they’re employer refused to have medical insurance – does that sound insane?
Then as bad as that sounds, imagine to top that off no safety regulations on water, food and medicine – is that brain dead to have such policies?
To make it worse imagine no regulations on banks and they demanded immediate payment exactly on a due date and if a homeowner with a car loan doesn’t pay on the exact due date that banks just came and repossessed everyone’s homes and cars who’s late on their house and car payments?

Well I would say if there was the notion that it would never be that bad – think back to times when there was no regulations, such as during the days of the industrial revolution and other past times.
People might say the republicans aren’t that bad now, but there is an economic philosophy called Laissez Faire that conservatives like to live by which is at least calling for minimal or few regulations and at worst especially concerning the libertarians – Laissez Faire economic philosophies at it’s worse is NO REGULATION AT ALL. Yes, there are people who believe that extreme Laissez Faire economic philosophies is what should be in place and not just liberatarians, but many republicans do as well.
Some people think it would never get that extreme again, but there are people who want that which I’ve seen in political forums saying this.
Imagine the past times where this was the case and if people who want such times want times like those again.
This is why I asked if conservatives had their way with letting businesses do anything they want – should the worst be expected?

For example –
Should people expect that they won’t get to keep jobs for long because employers are free to lay off and fire workers for any reason including ridiculous whims they entertain or people refusing to work overtime when employers demand they work for the same pay as 40 hours? (No I’m not talking about salary pay)

Should people expect that they could die from work related injuries on on the job and that it’s just a fact of life they have to expect?

Should women at work have to expect that they could be sexually harrassed on the job and worse from their bosses or other employees and that they have to take it or lose their job – no matter what job they work at?

Should people expect to have nothing but dangerous food and drink dangerous water besides other dangerous fluids to consume, because of no laws and regulations are in place to protect people from food and drink being contaminated?

Should kids expect to build oil castles instead of sand castles on the beach?

Should people expect that they could die from medicine or from medical treatment because doctors and hospitals don’t have to be accountable anymore because the conservatives took off all the regulations on that too?

And the most simple question is – should people expect everyday of their life to be like playing russian roulette unless they happen to be wealthy and can afford to have safety at work, good health, oil free beaches, safe food and water, etc?
I asked this also because if certain people had their way it could be that bad.
So that’s why I ask – is conservative extremists getting their way and thus are then allowed to do away with all the regulations – is it worth all the suffering such philosophies and policies would bring?
