Political machines like Tammany Hall provided social services and jobs to immigrants in cities in exchange for votes, leading to corruption. Boss Tweed and the "Tweed Ring" controlled Tammany Hall and embezzled millions, leading to reforms like the Pendleton Civil Service Act to establish merit-based government hiring. Most late 1800s/early 1900s presidents pushed reforms, with the exceptions of Grant and Taft who maintained the status quo.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

18. Steps to America
• Step One-Leaving Home
• Step Two-On Board the Ship
• Step Three-Inspection
• Step Four-Beyond Ellis or Angel
Island
• Source
19.
20. Step One-Leaving Home
• It was common for one person from a family to
come to America first
• They would save to eventually bring others
• From 1900 to 1910, almost 95% of the
immigrants arriving at Ellis Island were joining
either family or friends
• In 1901, between 40 and 65% came either on
prepaid tickets or with money sent to them from
the United States
21.
22.
23.
24. Step Two-On Board the Ship
• A ticket to America cost $30
• Three types of accommodations-first class,
second class and steerage
• Only steerage passengers were processed at
Ellis Island
• First and second class passengers were
quickly “inspected” on board the ship
• Larger ships could hold from 1,500 to 2,000
immigrants, netting a profit of $45,000 to
$60,000 for a single, one-way trip
26. • For many immigrants, the experience
of steerage was a nightmare
• At one time, the average passenger
mortality rate was 10 percent per
voyage
• Conditions were extremely
overcrowded, dark, unsanitary and
foul-smelling
27. • In spite of the miserable conditions,
the immigrants had faith in the future
• Crossing the Atlantic could take
anywhere from a week to more than a
month, depending on the ship and
weather
• They would play cards, sing, dance
and talk
28.
29. • In1911, the United States Immigration
Commission said:
• “The open deck space reserved for steerage
passengers is usually very limited, and situated
in the worst part of the ship, subject to the most
violent motion, to the dirt from the stacks and
the odors from the hold and galleys... the only
provisions for eating are frequently shelves or
benches along the sides or in the passages of
sleeping compartments. Dining rooms are rare
and, if found, are often shared with berths
installed along the walls. Toilets and
washrooms are completely inadequate;
saltwater only is available.
30. • “The ventilation is almost always inadequate,
and the air soon becomes foul. The unattended
vomit of the seasick, the odors of not too clean
bodies, the reek of food and the awful stench of
the nearby toilet rooms make the atmosphere
of the steerage such that it is a marvel that
human flesh can endure it... Most immigrants
lie in their berths for most of the voyage, in a
stupor caused by the foul air. The food often
repels them... It is almost impossible to keep
personally clean. All of these conditions are
naturally aggravated by the crowding.”
31. Step Three-Inspection
• Passengers were inspected for contagious
diseases such as cholera, plague, smallpox,
typhoid fever, yellow fever, scarlet fever,
measles and diphtheria
• If immigrants had any of the diseases they
would be deported
• Sick children age 12 or older were sent back to
Europe alone
32. • In total, about 20 percent of those arriving
at Ellis Island were detained for medical
treatment or a legal hearing
• 80% were free to go after only a few hours
• Only 2% of the immigrants seeking refuge
in America would fail to be admitted
33. Ellis Island
• What happened at Ellis Island?
• Intro Video
• Video 1 --Arrival
• Video 2 --Hurdles to Citizenship on Ellis Island
• Video 3 --Detained at Ellis Island
• Video 4 --Medical Inspections
• What state is it located in?
39. Step Four-Beyond Ellis Island
• As they left Ellis Island, the next stop was the
Money Exchange
• Cashiers exchanged paper money, from
countries all over Europe, for American dollars
• Then it was off to New York City or the railroad
ticket office to go anywhere in the country that
they wanted
40.
41. Why were immigrants disliked in
the US in the late 1800’s/early
1900’s?
• Took jobs
• Kept wages low
• Different culture
• Racism
45. Gentleman’s Agreement-1907
• Informal agreement between the United States
and Japan
• The US would not restrict Japanese
immigration and Japan would not allow further
immigration to the U.S
• The goal was to reduce tensions between the
US and Japan
• What was the tension?

50. Chapter 7.2 Key Questions
Why did cities grow so quickly in the late
1800's and early 1900's?
What problems did cities face due to the
rapid increase in population?
What did people/organizations do to try to
help the bad situation in the cities?
51. Why Did Cities Grow So Fast?
• Immigrants
• Farmers moved to the city
• African-Americans moved to the
cities
• Cities offered more jobs and
opportunities
• Cities offered more entertainment
52.
53. Problems in the City
• Cramped, old, dirty housing-tenements
• Lack of good transportation
• Lack of safe drinking water
• Disease was common
• Streets were filthy
• Crime
• Fires
• Poverty due to low pay at work
67. Problem:Cramped, Old, Dirty Housing-Tenements
Solutions:
-Cities put restrictions on building wood-frame
structures in the center of the city-Why?
-Cities encouraged the construction of
lower-income dwellings on the city’s outskirts-
Why?
-The Tenement House Act of 1867 defined a
tenement for the first time and set construction
regulations
-Among these were the requirement of one
toilet per 20 people
68. • Tenement House Law-1901
–Outlawed the construction of new tenements
on 25-foot lots and mandated improved
sanitary conditions, fire escapes and access
to light
–Current tenements were updated and more
than 200,000 new apartments were built over
the next 15 years
• Most tenements were destroyed in the 1920’s
and especially the 1930’s with FDR’s New Deal
• The first fully government-built public housing
project opened in New York City in 1936
69. Problem: Lack of good
transportation
• Solutions
–Electric Streetcars-late 1800’s, early
1900’s

in 1905, 459,00 in 1910 and 1.7 million in 1914.
–Subways-New York City-1904
–Airplanes-1903-Wright Brothers
79. Problem:Lack of safe drinking water
• Solutions:
• In late 1800’s, scientists had proven that
diseases were spread through unsafe drinking
water
• In early 1900’s, chlorine was added to the
water to help eliminate disease
• Federal regulation of drinking water quality
began in 1914 which continued to strengthen
over the decades
80. Problems: Disease was common
and Streets were filthy
• Solutions:
• Horses were replaced, eliminating the manure
problem
• Added chlorine to water
• Introduction of indoor plumbing
• George A. Waring Jr.-New York City-1895
– Organized modern recycling, street sweeping and
garbage collection
– Video
85. Problem: Crime
• Solutions:
• Organized Police Force
– Police became full time employees of the city-not
volunteers
– In 1838-Boston established the first American
police force
– New York City-1845
– Chicago-1851
– By the 1880s all major U.S. cities had municipal
police forces in place
• 1911 - Fingerprints are first accepted by U.S.
courts as a reliable means of identification
87. Problem: Fires
• Solutions:
• Already mentioned better building codes
• Full time, paid firefighters
• In 1853, Cincinnati became the first full-time,
paid fire fighters in the US
88. Problem: Poverty due to low pay at
work
• Solution:
• Labor Unions
–Minimum wage laws
–Shorter hours
–Child labor laws
