- I would define progress as anything that moves you closer to your goal
- 1890-1920
- it was a period of widespread activism and political reform across the U.S.
- Destruction of wilderness during expansion
- Increased levels of poverty
- Laws passed to protect public health
- Education began to improve
- Limit on number of hours children could work
- Women's rights
- Banning of alcohol
- Make the U.S. better
- Fix America's "flaws"
Evaluate the major goals of Progressives and sort them into these 4 categories: (Or make your own categories or ranking system), such as best to worst.
Essential goals worth striving for/ Necessary changes
- Limits on children working
- not good for the kids
- shouldn't be their job
- Better education
- leads to better jobs
- gets people off the street
- makes the overall view of America seem better
- Women's rights
- the women work just as hard as the men
- women are a part of the nation too
- keep everyone healthy
- its hard to keep everyone healthy all the time
- not a goal I expected
- Economic equality
- not everyone works the same amount
- not fair to pay someone that sits on the side of the road the same amount a doctor is paid
- this could cause tensions
