The idea was that people would contribute to funds as an insurance in hopes to provide economical security during old age or unemployment due to a disability. Roosevelt also wanted to help people plan for the future but also make sure that the social security act would not have negative effects on the economy despite congresses stance that an individual should be responsible for their own future without the help of the government.
Social Security also gave financial aid to the disabled along with the unemployed. This act was crucial to the recovery to the nation because it gave people some financial stability and insured people
He also helped the farmers and the agricultural workers by passing an Act to them as well. This Act was called Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation(FDIC) to protect the people that put money into their bank accounts and the Securities and Exchange Commission to control the stock market and the type of abuse that led to the crash of 1929. After the Great Depression had passed, he asked Congress to pass his new act, the "Second New Deal." This included the Social Security Act(SCA). This allowed the elderly dismissal from work or if they had any disability.
Passed on June 16, 1933, the NIRA aimed to also stabilize the economy by sanctioning, supporting, and enforcing an alliance of industries. It also suspended antitrust laws and required companies to write industry wide “codes of fair competition” that fixed prices and wages, established production quotas, and imposed restrictions on the entry of other companies into the alliances. The NIRA act also established the National Recovery Administration, which was tasked with implementing the provisions of the act. Since the establishment of the NIRA and NRA, they faced major criticism because they did little to help with the recovery of the economy. In my opinion, I agree in that they both did very little to help, and even made the problems worse, and are also unconstitutional because they give legislative power to the executive

The social security measures and offers some preservation to several millions of citizens who will receive benefits through unemployment compensation.

The New Deal was a series of programs and policies, known as Alphabet Agencies, applied throughout the US. Roosevelt’s first new deal focused on reform and his primary aim was economic recovery as he focused on businesses. There were many such as FERA, CCC, CWA and the Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA) where Hoosevelt aimed to reform to cut overproduction which was successful as farm incomes rose from $4.5 to $6.9 billion in 1932 and 1939 respectively. However, the act controlled the supply and demand of the agricultural industry, also triggering a migration of marginal farmers in the South and Midwest to northern cities and California. His second New Deal focused on a permanent reform such as the SSA, NLRA and Works Progress Administration (WPA) which was the main federal relief agency.
Labor and the US Government from 1890-1945 A key aspect of this nation’s history lies in the ever-shifting relationship between its government and its common man, most specifically its labor workers. This relationship plays a crucial role in the understanding of the changes that took place in America between 1890 and 1945. The changing relationship between government and labor workers in the United States between 1890 and 1945 demonstrates a period of unrest and a transitional period in which the focus shifted towards the working class as a result of the greed and corruption of 19th century business elite , as can be seen in the labor strikes requiring government intervention of the late 19th century, the progressives of the early 20th century
1.) During the initial months of the depression, the general belief was that the troubles were cause by the "cut-throat competitions" between businessmen causing many businesses to fail. As a result the Roosevelt administration's first attempt ot deal with the crisis was to mitigate such "cut-throat competitions" with the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933. This act spawned the Nation Recovery Administration (NRA). The NRA was empowered to bring government, industrial corporations, and labor unios together to find ways to get rid of "cut-throat competitions".
The second goal of the Second New Deal was to take the elderly out of the work force due to the fact that they already received financial packages. This allowed jobs for younger people to open up, and still have the older people supported. By doing this, the government could ensure that everybody is covered financially, as long as the young people could find jobs. This system is still used
The biggest reason for the development of social insurance was the need for economic security in a modern society. After the Great Depression President Franklin Roosevelt created the “First New Deal” which was for relief and recovering the direct impacts of the Great Depression. The “Second New Deal” was the period of reform to introduce longer lasting changes for the
It is a difficult task to challenge the social and economic policies of a country, especially one as patriotic as the United States during the post wartime Red scare era of the 1920 's. labor unions could account for this as they saw their membership fall from a high of 5 million in the 1920s to a mere 3.6 million by 1923(Rosenzweig 353). A combination of Supreme court decisions, Employer pressures and in many cases a lack of a strong leadership seen in previous individuals like Samuel Gompers contributed to this. Yet this trend surprisingly didn’t remain consistent as the great depression emerged around the 1930s. In fact they tripled there membership during the 1930s(Rosenzweig 429).They opened up, recruiting millions of women in their causes
After reading through the information given to me, the benefits and hindrance of using UCR, NIBRS, and NCVS are... The pros of participating in NIBRS (National Incident-Based Reporting System ) is that the NIBRS can provide almost any kind of information of nearly all the major cases such as terrorism, abuse, assault, and etc. The information they produce is detailed, accurate and meaningful than others.

In the late 1950’s President Eisenhower and later President Kennedy sent military supplies and advisers to South Vietnam.

The Social Security Act remains the largest and most prominent social aid program originally established by the New Deal legislation. Other developments such as the ban on child labour, maximum working hours, and minimum wages were also discussed or introduced to a limited extent. The New Deal also created alphabet agencies (an integral component of the first phase of the New Deal) such as the AAA (helping farmers sell their produce. Increase demand), the HOLC(helping the poor who were forced out of their homes), musicians and artists were even helped and they produced items for the government and many others.
