If you had a million dollars to spend on the Progressivism Movement, and how the reforms took charge, how would you spend it? The Progressivism included both major political parties, it lasted about 20 years. Many large reforms were being debated and fixed during this time period of hard times. There were 3 major reforms that were included in this movement. These reforms were contradicted and underestimated, but some people thought otherwise. Those reforms were Food Safety, Women’s Suffrage, Child Labor, and Preservation. If i was handed a million dollars to spend on these 4 reforms, i’d definitely spend majority of the money on food safety. In my opinion, I highly determine that food safety out of all of these reforms, is the most important. Food is the building blocks of life and human energy, and that's why I’d give this reform 600,000 dollars out of the one million given. The passage explains how the meat productions were handling their meat at very low sanitation levels (Doc.D). These meat companies were letting rats …show more content…
It may not be as important as food safety, but it still excels in many ways. In the passage it claims that “ A woman’s simplest duty is to cook and clean in an everyday home” (Doc.C). I feel that without women in the intended obligations, there'd be many corruptions in today’s laws. Women should be able to vote and fulfill their mindset. At that point in time, women had no rights, they were forced to do whatever the stereotype was. They had no will of knowing what was in the meat they were feeding their children. They had no idea that their daily medications for their children were infused with harsh drugs such as heroin and cocaine. Little did they know, they started a ballot for women rights and voting. If women's rights were evaluated, there wouldn’t be such commission and hatred. The laws would slowly flow easier and better
The essence of the author’s argument was that allowing women to attempt to make a decision which they were mentally incapable of was truly a reform against

The conditions of the workers and the quality of the products served were of no importance to the leaders in Chicago’s meatpacking industry, and are often not important to fast food chains today. The meat sold to customers in The Jungle is often soiled, but the head of the company allows it to be sold to maximise his own profit. Bad parts of the meat in the factory were cut out and disposed of but the remained parts were still then sold. Other meats were covered in germs from a leak in the building or rat feces as the rodents roamed around the building. The health or waste of money for the citizens in this case is not important to the owners.
In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s reformers in the United States were trying different methods to advance the country. The reformers had different goals such as earning women suffrage and assisting the poor. The reformers had their methods to help bring about change in society. Reformers had different goals and methods to help change the society.
The rats were one of the main reasons for an unhealthy factory. Rats carried germs and diseases, however workers had to deal with that. They were exposed to being contaminated. “There was no place for men to wash their hands before they ate their dinner, and so they
In order to get rid of the rats they used rat poison and when they would get the meat there was dead rats in there as well their poison and they would drag the meat on the ground
Intro: When people eat food they do not think about what is in it, or how it is made. The only thing people care about is what the food tastes like and how much they get. During the 1900’s the meat packing industry had not regulations of any kind. All that mattered to the industry was that they made as much money as possible with as little expenditure as possible. During this times people were often made sick and died either from working conditions or poor food quality.
When trying to define a word such as Liberalism it seems difficult to find a solid definition. There are different forms of liberalism and different meanings depending on the time period it is being applied to (idea taken from Phil Badger author from philosophynow). To solve this ambiguity, I’ve decided to define liberalism based on the time period in which I will be conducting my research. Liberalism in the 1700s was the belief of freedom and equals rights generally associated with the enlightenment thinkers, John Locke and Montesquieu (as defined by wikipedia.org). Liberalism didn’t start in the 1700s.
For example, the improvement of working conditions in America. At the time, working conditions were very poor, and the workers were paid very little. Since there were not any regulations employers were able to over work there employees. Even children were being over worked, but they needed to, otherwise their families could not eat. Both parties focused on the reformation and modernization of
Women at that time had virtually no rights; they could not vote, sign contracts, have bank accounts, or divorce abusive husbands. Also, in the beginning, the idea of contraception and family planning was considered “obscene.” An issue, which has surrounded America for
From 1896 to 1924, America went through a period known as progressivism in which people of all walks of life banded together to oppose conservatism and reform society. Progressives generally believed that government is necessary for change, however; it had to more significantly embody the ideals of democracy. Some of the specific changes that progressives wanted were regulating railroads, a direct election of senators, graduated income tax, limited immigration and eight-hour workdays. By supporting these changes, the progressives hoped to promote and expand democracy and thus give the people more power.
The Progressive movement was caused corruption in politics, political machines, rapid urbanization and discrimination and equality. The Progressive movement was based on the idea that the government should have a more active role in solving economic ills. The Progressives wanted to promote child labor laws, improve the efficiency of government, expand democracy and promote social justice. The Progressives believed in progression. As in progression into a fairer society.
The progressives, wanted to create a society that acted as one. The idea of being an individual was something to be forgotten in order to create a more perfect civilization of order and pureness. During this time of the progressive movement, the rest of society began to reject it ideology of their message and goals of nonpleasure and work. Especially around the Carina Arreola History 1302 W.Wooten time of World War One, the Great depression, and the New Deal.
