The Progressives
The Progressive Movement aimed to give more control of the government to ordinary citizens and guarantee economic opportunities through regulation. It differed from past social movements in using the government as a tool for reform, enhancing its power. Problems from industrialization and urbanization included poor living and working conditions, child labor, corruption influenced by the wealthy, and company towns that exploited workers. Journalists called "muckrakers" reported on these issues to raise public awareness and support reforms around labor rights, conservation, food/medicine safety, and other areas.
Progressive movement 2011.pptx
The passage discusses the Progressive Era in the United States from the late 19th to early 20th century. It covers several key aspects of the period including rapid industrialization, urbanization, and corruption which led citizens to demand reforms. Progressives pushed for initiatives, referendums, and recalls to give political power back to the people and reduce corruption. They focused on applying moral principles to improve industrial society and reform issues like child labor, work hours, and workplace regulations.
Negative Effects Of The Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution had several negative effects on workers and society. The factory owners became very wealthy while workers lived in extreme poverty. Rapid urbanization resulted in overcrowded, unsanitary cities lacking basic infrastructure. Workers, including women and children, faced dangerous conditions and long hours in factories for low wages. In response, some protested, others turned to religion for solace, and socialists advocated for more equal distribution of wealth and better living standards for workers.
Lesson 7 economics
The document summarizes how the Industrial Revolution changed economics by introducing capitalism and laissez-faire economies. It led to mass production and global trade but also monopolies with high prices and poor quality. Critics like utopians, socialists, and Karl Marx argued for more equal societies where workers owned production. Marx believed capitalism would destroy itself and be replaced by communism with common ownership and no private property. The debate continues between capitalism prioritizing individual freedom and private property versus socialism favoring equal societies and public ownership.
Robber barons or captains of industry 2011
The document discusses debates around the business practices of prominent late 19th century American industrialists and financiers known as "robber barons". It presents arguments on both sides, discussing whether these businessmen positively contributed to American economic growth through job creation and philanthropy, or exploited workers and natural resources to amass personal fortunes through monopolies and lack of regulation. The complexities in evaluating their actions and impacts are noted.
REACT Introduction
The document summarizes the decline of the Royal Bengal tiger population from 100,000 in the 1800s to 1,400 now. The population fell to 40,000 in the 1900s due to hunting and loss of habitat. Three of the eight subspecies are now extinct. Project Tiger was established in 1972 to protect tigers but faced problems of being ill-equipped, understaffed and a lack of strong policies and laws. International pressure helped police the tiger trade and strengthen laws. The document also discusses problems with charities distributing funds effectively and corporations not having real commitment to causes they promote. It proposes solutions like collective funding management and advertising network-like donation drives to raise more awareness and funds.
Capitalism
The document argues that capitalism has historically made the United States a powerful nation by allowing freedom of choice in work and business opportunities. However, it claims that cronyism has corrupted capitalism, with billionaires gaining wealth through government contracts and bailouts rather than true risk-taking. It asserts that monopolies now control major industries and that the country is no longer truly capitalist unless action is taken to stop government overreach and corporate influence in politics.
Capitalism
Capitalism is an economic system where wealth and means of production are privately owned rather than publicly or state-owned. It developed in 16th century Western Europe as feudalism broke down. Key aspects include private property, markets determining income distribution, and competition driving innovation. While it has led to significant economic growth, critics argue it can concentrate wealth and limit diversity. Most countries today have capitalist systems with some government regulations.

The document discusses the goals and outcomes of the Progressive Era reform movements from the late 19th to early 20th centuries in the United States. It focuses on urban reforms, business regulations, antitrust laws, education reforms, and child labor laws. Theodore Roosevelt helped restore the presidency as a progressive reformer and promised a "square deal." His administration enforced antitrust laws and enacted regulations like the Pure Food and Drug Act to protect consumers. Woodrow Wilson later continued reforms through acts establishing the Federal Reserve, the Federal Trade Commission, regulating child labor and establishing the eight hour work day for railroads.
Philsophical Reactions to the Industrial Revolution
Philosophers reacted differently to industrialization:
1) David Ricardo proposed the "Iron Law of Wages" which argued workers would only be paid enough to survive and population growth would keep wages low.
2) Critics advocated for more equal distribution of wealth from industrialization through socialism. Robert Owen established cooperative communities with better conditions.
3) Karl Marx and Frederick Engels analyzed capitalism and communism in "The Communist Manifesto," proposing communism would end poverty through government ownership while capitalism allowed inequality.
Progressives 1
Progressives during the 1890-1917 period attempted to address problems caused by industrialization, urbanization, and laissez-faire policies. They were generally white, middle-class, native-born professionals and reformers who pushed for social justice, political democracy, economic equality, and conservation. Muckrakers exposed corruption through investigative journalism to raise public awareness and spur reforms, while progressives proposed solutions. Their efforts led to legislation at both the state and federal level to regulate industry, protect workers and consumers, reduce political corruption, and conserve natural resources.
Industrial Revolution 1
The Industrial Revolution transformed the economy as people began making goods in factories instead of at home. Key developments included Eli Whitney's cotton gin, which increased cotton production, and the steam engine, which powered factories and railroads. The transcontinental railroad connected the country. Canals like the Erie Canal provided transportation. Immigrants provided labor for the growing industries and lived in crowded urban tenements, with many children working in dangerous conditions. The Progressive Era brought reforms to address these issues through women's suffrage, labor laws, and trust-busting under President Theodore Roosevelt.
Presentation8
The Progressive Movement sought numerous reforms between 1890-1920 through government regulation and scientific methods. Progressives aimed to curb the influence of big business in politics, promote women's suffrage and temperance, and improve working conditions through laws limiting child labor and establishing workplace safety standards. The first Progressive president, Theodore Roosevelt, pursued trust-busting and conservation efforts but also held prejudices common to the era, believing in eugenics and that some races were inferior.

The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
