We have looked at many ways the Ford Motor Company has effected us both positively and negatively. One of the most important ways that Ford has effected us is with his first mass production of cars with the assembly line. This created easy traveling for the common man, Also it was the invention of the assembly line which we still use for production of almost all of our material products. Fords assembly line has also given average people the chance to have a solid, decent paying jobs for many years. We have also looked at the way cars effect a persons social status and how they are socially accepted. For example: the nicer the car you drive the more money you make. As for the economy car manufacturing can greatly effect a cities economy, just like the $105 million investment to the assembly plant in Louisville KY.
We also looked at some of the negative aspects of cars. The emissions that cars have been dumping into the air have started to destroy both us and our environment, which could cause serious problems that the future could unveil. The exhaust and emissions from cars has been proven very damaging to the environment and everyone around it. Will something be done to stop pollution from cars? Another concern is that it has become more and more expensive to buy, own, and operate cars. Gas prices have shot up in the past couple years and will continue to raise unless something is done. It costs a person on average over $6000 to operate a car each year for driving only 20 miles a day. Not only do you have to pay to operate but also to fix it when mechanical issues occur. The cost of automotive repair is extremely high and time consuming. Concerns in safety have also come up. The average death rate per state is over 600 deaths per year, is this really worth driving to a party?
As you can see there are many ups and downs to the history of the Fords cars and how they have effected us, but is there really a way of telling for sure if it has been either good or bad for us? I think that there are good and bad aspects in cars, just like everything else, and we shouldn’t make something out to be a bad thing just because some bad things happen while using it. After all could it be that we are just using it incorrectly? There are many ways that cars have been both good an bad for us, but regardless its hard to deny the fact that Henry Ford has changed the lives of almost everyone.
