After Roosevelt read the graphic novel, he pushed for passage of the Meat Inspection Act. The Act was passed and set strict cleanliness requirements and created the program of federal meat inspection, but it required the government to pay for the inspections and companies were not required to label their canned goods. Sinclair was considerably successful as the results of his efforts to bring about change are still evident today. Susan B. Anthony is one of the most well known woman suffragists in American history. In the late 1890s, women were not allowed to vote while African American men were (as per the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments.)
In turn, this taught the public that they couldn’t always trust government officials. Muckrakers paved the way for the correction of these problems that the officials created. Upton Sinclair is a famous muckraker that wrote The Jungle. He exposed the meat packing industry and its horrible health conditions. The concept of scientific management also came out of the Progressive Movement.
After reading The Jungle, many Americans were appalled by the lack of safety precautions and sanitary systems in factories. Dissatisfaction with food and drug regulation at the state level in the 1890s soon led to pressures to give the federal government the power to monitor and promote the quality of food. Thus, the Pure Food and Drug Act along with the Meat Inspection Act of 1906 passed, making meat shipped over state lines subject to inspection (Paulet). Though, while muckrakers were influential in bring about reform, many of the leading progressive reformers were women. Middle class women played a major role in the awareness of poor working conditions, child education, and
The early twentieth century was an era of business expansion and progressive reform in the United States. The Progressive era was a time of immense change in America and American society. The progressives, as they called themselves, struggled to improve American society by working toward equality. Progressives shared optimism about American citizens’ ability to improve social conditions, by actively intervening, both politically and morally, and ensure social justice. During an age of mass industrialization and urbanization, obtaining social justice was of vital importance because with social justice established, social control would naturally be achieved due to the satisfaction of citizens being treated equally.
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. Supporting slavery will be in the best interest of our nation, to prevent mass corruption from freed slaves, and to leave our new country strong and profitable. 3. A. The drafters of the Declaration of Independence would explain the spirit of their language to be natural and correct as they intended.
Yazan Samaro Professor Beluris History M01B December 4, 2011 Paper #4 As the leader of 6,000 inhabitants at Moorpark, California I plan to reconstruct society from what I have learned in History M01B. I would start out by explaining the importance of freedom and nationalism to my people to create an efficient political system. John Lock’s theories about the equality of independence of man are important for the citizens to understand that my political system will defend their natural rights of life, liberty and property no matter what ethnicity or gender they are. I think Lenin’s nationalist ideas can create unity and equality between the state and its people, working together. This means that my political system will consist of me as their leader along with my party that can be voted into office by the 6000 people remaining.
Roosevelt’s life and rise to the presidency were two extremely vital factors that impacted the development of America. Franklin D. Roosevelt has in present time been the base of what Americans call a “good president”. When Barack Obama was elected forty-forth preident of the United States many attempted to compare him to Roosevelt to see how he would measure up. Roosevelt’s life and political career are tremendously interesting and are essential to America’s survival through the Great Depression, and to the development of America as a modern world
Stand up and speak for animals that In Michael Kirby's article in The Age in August 2011 "stand up and speak for animals that cannot", he discusses the issue of live cattle export from Australia to Indonesia and the terrible conditions that affect them when they arrive. He contends that the export industry should be ended and that "we have a historical opportunity to... act on a shared belief that grave cruelty to other sentient animals is unacceptable. Kilby uses the notions of patriotism and inclusive language to help convince the readers of his point and to make the readers see him as equal to him and him being the same as them. He begins by saying "Australia must decide" which makes people think it's their duty as well as everyone else's and also identifies himself as someone included in in this decision, and that it is not just the decision of the politicians and leaders. He later says "we have a historic opportunity..." which is another example of inclusive language, which again reaffirms the fact that Kilby is the same as the readers and that they are all a part of this.
Race and ethnicity are important in the United States because they help to identify the countries roots as a culture and as a free nation. America’s forefathers founded the country on the basis that “all men are created equal” through suffering, sacrifice, and in the struggle toward ending inequality. America’s civil rights activists include Abraham Lincoln, Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Julio Cesar Chavez, and Rosa Parks. Dr. King stated “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” King was assassinated by James Earl Ray on April 4, 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee after leading the civil rights movement for 13 years. Martin Luther King died for his cause, his legacy lives on, although his body long returned to the Earth from whence it came.
His ability to influence people of all colors to examine their views of equality and racial issues was amazing. He was instrumental in the way the United States revised laws to ensure people are equal regardless of the color of their skin. Dr. King was a very well educated man and also an eloquent speaker. He used emotions and logic to get his points across to the audiences he was trying to reach. His most famous speech earned him the “Man of the Year Award” and he also was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
