What, for example, should be done about dirty meat packing plants, or young children working in the mines? A reform movement called Progressivism is taking shape to work on these and other problems.

Scanlan also made sure there was notification of his findings posted throughout the mine in order for all to be informed of the danger of the mine. Scanlan was sure to report all of his findings to the Department of Mining and Minerals. The decision to not shut down the mine in order to demand the safety measures be remedied has proven to be a hard lesson learned. This is mainly because it will always be questioned “what if” these measures were done, would the lives of 111 coal miners be saved. Scanlan as public administrator may have used the media and public radio stations to inform the public of the possibility of the explosion and this may have forced the owners and authorities to take action sooner than they decided to take action.

The first part of the article describes the effects of parathion as an “universal killer”, which not only educated the annoying birds but also unintentionally affected other forms of wildlife. The immediate effects of the chemicals were devastating as well as their long term effects on the farmers who were exposed to these pesticides. The author provided the readers with examples of incidents that occurred in Indiana and California
The inquest found the child’s death an incident of natural causes, contributed to significantly by neglect’. The hearing brought forward a lack of policy and training at the school on the nature of asthma, and what school staff are required to do to protect pupils in their care. It is greatly important that schools employ appropriate health and safety policies which clearly state the schools duties and responsibilities and monitor and ensure that staff adhere to these polices, staff need to receive relevant training and development in order to act out their responsibilities effectively.

If we can do this, we will be protecting our sports, but most importantly we will be protecting our
As the War on Poverty inevitably becomes a war against the poor, the youth in America are tragically caught in the crossfire. In response to this important issue, several at-risk youth advocate programs have enacted campaigns to bring awareness to the public and reverse detrimental legislations. One such campaign, aptly named “Books Not Bars” was begun by the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights. (2) The name was taken from a chant protestors yelled during the fight to prevent the building of a youth “super-jail” in Alameda: “Schools Not Jails, Books Not Bars”. In this paper, I will illustrate the ways in which the Books Not Bars (BNB) campaign launched by the Ella Baker Center addresses juvenile incarceration, a key issue in the problem space of urban poverty.
