Washington was a realist who didn’t seek social equity for African Americans in the short run, rather economic and educational advancement. This speech’s goal is to promote gradual change that will benefit the African American community in the long run. Washington walks a thin line, but succeeds in showing both African Americans and Whites that divided they fall and together they stand.! ! !
Men are entitled to own slaves and this right has always been protected. Allowing the Africans to become free would disrupt our county’s progression. Moving forward is a priority for a strong economical country. According to a New York Bureau of accounts report, “It would be wise to permit colonists, and other farmers to import as many Negroes as they could purchase for cash, assist them on their farms, as these slaves could do more work for their masters, and were less expensive than hired laborers.” Slaves provided cheap labor, which left big promises for a booming economy. With the ideas of slavery many men will become and remain profitable and money will only benefit our society and allow the United States to grow.
They started taking positions that were originally reserved for men. More than seven million women entered the work force whereby two million women went to the heavy industry. However, these women lacked formal workplace rights. Women then and today still face inequality when it comes to aspects of pay and opportunities. Women get lower starting salaries, and are not paid the same as men for the same work.
Washington’s views on "racial progress" were that offered black acquiescence in disenfranchisement and social segregation if whites would back the idea of black progress in education, agriculture, and economics. Agriculture to Washington was one of the soul ideas of his "racial progress" theory. Washington argued that the focus of African-Americans should be education on a trade so that they could be taught the skills they needed to be able to open up their own businesses. That would lead to African-Americans to create jobs for other African-Americans. Washington felt blacks shouldn’t worry about winning civil rights, but rather have some kind of economic stability first.
World War 1 played a significant part in developing women's political rights in both positive and negative ways. World War one may have foiled the drive by women to gain political rights just as much or even more so then it helped. Pre war women did have working opportunities though very little compared to men, as they were seen as weaker and that their place was in the "home". Their employment was limited to the domestic service (cleaning or working as a servant) and secretarial work and not manual labor in factories or working class women often worked in the textiles industry. Women were lower paid and were restricted to do less skilled work, as they were considered incompetent.
However in actuality, sixty percent of QwaQwa’s industrial workers earned less than R60 a month. Wage levels were generally accepted without challenge due to fear in regions of mass unemployment and poverty. Black women provided a “cheap labour and hard-working labour force” . They lowered their self-worth and respect to survive and provide for their children as best as they
After the murder of Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968, Jane Elliott was astonished by the questions white news anchors were asking members of the black race. In order to address the issue of racial discrimination, she designed a daring lesson for her third-grade students in which she divided them into the blue or brown-eyed groups. This paper examines Jane Elliott’s lesson and the effect it had on her students, as well as my own personal experiences from watching the video. It is proposed that additional exercises should be conducted to eliminate discrimination. On the first day, the students were divided into brown and blue-eyed
In addition, we will talk about how the 2nd Industrial Revolution create breakthroughs for modern times. During the Industrial Revolution many factories and mines did everything they could to exploit women and children by having them work in less than desirable conditions. Owners of these facilities determined that even though these children could not do the work as most of the men, they were often paid a lot less, if anything at all. In some instances, if the father died or disappeared, it was up to the sons or oldest children in the household to provide for the family. As often times they received more in pay than that of the mother.
This segregation between men and women is still a major problem in United States because working moms do not receive extra institutions, women are treated lower when they have received same amount of education as men, and women received less income than men. Long after the 19th Amendment to the Constitution gave women the right to vote in 1920, women were prevented from fulfilling professional ambitions by a set of assumptions about their "proper" role in society, which was largely defined as being mothers and taking care of the household. (Lee, Wagner) There still aren’t many changes on what people think the role of a woman is. Gender segregation in modern society is a problem because in this day in age, both men and women need to work to support their family. Working mothers are now a common part of society that reflects both economic necessity and new-found freedom for women to go beyond their traditional role in society.
This meant that women were being treated more equally but they still weren’t being treated exactly the same as their male counterparts because they were only earning 60 to 65% of what men doing the same job earned. Another change that occurred in the lives of women because of Stalin’s social policies is that 41% of the industrial workers in Russia were women. This then meant that women could do their part, within industry, to help Russia to become industrialised while Stalin got more workers to produce the raw materials that he wanted. Due to the fact that women were working in industry, they were included in the Stakhanovite movement which meant that they were rewarded for their efforts and were inclined to doing more work to get more rewards. As a result of this, they had an incentive to keep working and their living conditions improved slightly.
