Set in 1912 An Inspector Calls demonstrates views and opinions of those who believed in social class. This play has a moral message that we should think of others and work together to ensure a fairer, more equal society, also known as socialism. Priestly uses characters such as the Birlings and Eva Smith to show that social class is one of the key themes in the play. Throughout, the theme of social class is shown through all of the characters; social class is most evident through the character of Arthur Birling, he is an ignorant and selfish man who's personality has clearly been effected by the money and success which he has attained. However although Arthur Birling’s earlier life is not mentioned in the play it is clear to the audience that Mr.Birling is not a member of the higher class because of his family, but simply through work and the money he has received.Differences in social class is also shown when Mr Birling says '' Giving us the port, Edna?''
It supported the idea of laissez-faire policies of which the government should not regulate the marketplace or attempt social reform. Where as Social Gospel addressed excesses of industrialization and urbanization. Since it had a profound impact on churches and nonprofit organizations, it believed that Christians should work to improve social conditions for the poor, and the sick. Social Gospel taught its followers that it is a person's duty to help others in need.

While his practices were eventually made illegal in many cases, it is undeniable that his domination of the oil industry increased its efficiency, safety, and stabilized its market price. In my opinion, because of the many companies that were eliminated by Rockefellers practices, laws like the Sherman Act in many ways did serve the public good. While on some levels I respect his business acumen, it was certainly not good for a a you company to make the backroom deals that unfairly drove many entrepreneurs to ruin. Undoubtedly, one must also take into consideration the fact that the growth of industry taking place was unprecedented in human history. Never before had technology, transportation, and communications come together to allow for such exponential growth on a global scale.
We can never do without the plain affection of man to man. But what we need today is not the love that will break its back drawing water for a growing factory town from a well that was meant to supply a village, but a love so large and intelligent that it will persuade an ignorant people to build a system of waterworks up in the hills, and that will get after the thoughtless farmers who contaminate the brooks with typhoid bacilli, and after the lumber concern that is denuding the watershed of its forests. We want a new avatar of love. (Source: Walter Rauschenbusch,
He describes the pastor as a, “…literalist interpreter of Christian Holy Scripture,” and himself as a secular humanist. Wilson’s main appeal for the book is to set aside these differences in order to save the Creation. He appeals to pastor by saying he needs his help.

The economy would be ruled by natural laws of “survival of the fittest” and “supply and demand.” These ideas favored captains of industries like Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller. They had their own monopolies and used dictatorial/tyrannical ways to exploit the workers. In the Progressive Era, the idea of industrial freedom and democracy came in. Workers were thought to not only deserve better wages and working conditions, they also should make some economic decisions and have rights to
“Nature” is an accurate illustration of the views that the transcendentalists had on the natural world. By immersing himself in nature, he says that he is given a new sense of clarity, divinity, and enlightenment that cannot be gained anywhere but in nature. He was a strong believer that finding oneself and exploring one’s own soul is the ultimate pursuit of happiness, that the ultimate fulfillment in life would be self-discovery. Henry David Thoreau, Emerson’s short-time housemate, held very similar ideas, and found the works of his friend inspirational. Thoreau’s essay, “Civil Disobedience”, describes his idea of rebellion against laws he felt were unnecessary or unjust.

“Master Hugh was amazed at the simplicity of his spouse, and, probably for the first time, he unfolded to her the true philosophy of slavery, and the peculiar rules necessary to be observed by masters and mistresses, in the management of their human chattels.” (Douglass, 95). Masters thought that by giving a slave education that they would probably be out smarted and then find a way to take advantage of the privileges that they are given. “ To use his own words, further, he said, “if you give a nigger an inch, he will take an ell;” “he should know nothing but the will of his master, and learn to obey it.” “if you teach that nigger—speaking of myself—how to read the bible, there will be no keeping him;” “it would for- ever unfit him for the duties of a slave;” and “as to himself, learning would do him no good, but probably, a great deal of harm—making him disconsolate and unhappy” (Douglass,
