If we look back today at what happened in the Gilded Age and the Progressive Era, we learn that everyone has their own beliefs and we can express those opinions to make things better or worse. If you have a strong belief you should go out and support it, let your voice be heard. If you don't take a stand, then you and your idea will never be known. A Lot of people in the world are good but there are also a lot of bad people too, if you know something is wrong then do something about it or you won't see no change. We learned that we should share our opinions in the hope that we will change the world.

Progressivism through Individuals: Lewis Hine

(Child Labor Outcomes)

Lewis Hine was a photographer, who took pictures of children in factories who were underage, getting underpaid, and were in a lot of danger. He took many pictures across the states to out these factory owners. He published his findings in newspapers, and nowadays websites. He took his profession and made people clear to know that these children were being taken advantage of. “If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera.” is a quote from Lewis Hine, he is saying that these child labor conditions are hard to believe when you just hear them, but when you see them you will know it is true.

Progressivism through Reformers and Muckrakers

(Immigration to the United States, Harvard Library) (Explore Muckraking)

The reformers in the progressive time were trying to get settlement houses, to help the homeless and poor people in their city. The Reformers wanted to make life better for the low-income families but also the immigrants so they can understand english, and how to keep a job, also to help them just get better off so they can buy/rent a house or apartment and be able to live without assistance. “Hull-House also provided social services to reduce the effects of poverty, including a daycare center, homeless shelter, public kitchen, and public baths. Settlement houses like Hull-House were a nexus for political activism” this quotes shows that the settlement houses were to help the common person to live a normal life instead of living in a crap apartment or house, and having food on the table to eat and fun things to go and do. Muckrakers were people who were trying to bring to light problems that people were trying to keep on the down low. Muckraker, Nellie Bly pleaded insane to go into an asylum to see the conditions by these guards, faculty, and other people on the inside. “Could I pass a week in the insane ward at Blackwell's Island? I said I could and I would. And I did” this is a quote from Bly on how she said she would do something and she did. Muckrakers wanted to out people who were in the wrong.

Progressivism through Unions

(The Mine Wars, PBS)

The Union’s in the Progressive time tried to bring together workers throughout the same field as they were. Bringing people together through work and wanting to get better wages was the way they wanted to bring more “progressive thinking” into the United States. By bringing together the workers, they could try to get better wages, less hours, and better working conditions.

Problems for Women in the Prohibition Era

(Prohibition: Home, PBS)

The problems women faced were quite numerous. Their husbands would go out and drink and spend all of their money on drinking and alcohol. Then they would come home drunk and crazy and their wives wouldn’t know what to do. I may be exaggerating but this is what I’ve seen in the video promoting “Dry” living in the U.S. I mean women also had it hard. They want money and they might fall into prostitution which is against the law. So you either have no money from your husband drinking or you could fall into prostitution, or you could go out and get a job that provides a steady living for your family.

Problems in the Gilded Age Part 4 (Immigrants)

(The Mine Wars, PBS)

Immigrants would come on ships to America daily. Most come without a lot of money, so they needed to find a job. With the lack of speaking English they often got swindled into lower pay, and more hours. So big companies would hire immigrants instead of “Americans” people who speak english. The immigrants would get lesser pay and more hours for their hard labor. The immigrants came over to America for a new start and to start fresh and clean. They just wanted a job like everybody else and the other workers got mad that they were doing the stuff they were but for a lesser price. So I feel as though immigrants were getting blamed for the troubles of the business owners.

Problems in the Gilded Age Part 3 (Problems within the Workers)

(The Homestead Strike)

If you were a worker working within a steel mill you would know of the terrible conditions and wages you got for working all the time. The workers would get hired to work at these coal mines and the pay that they got was not enough for the hard labor that they were doing. And they had to go down in mines all day and be in the dark and not knowing if you’re going to blow up in any second. If you were apart of the Union, they didn’t like that either, so you and the other Union workers tried to keep your jobs and help grow the union. But when the Union wanted higher pay they didn’t want to employ them because they can get immigrants to do the job for way less money. The owners of the coal mines would build mediocre houses and build general stores for the employee’s, but there was a catch. You had to pay for the houses which you would be in debt for and would have to keep working for the company, and at the general store if you wanted something you could go and buy it but when your paycheck comes they automatically take the money you owed to the general store out of your paycheck. And with all of the bad treatments the workers went on strike. Which lasted years across the coal mining nation. Some coal mine workers eventually got what they wanted, less hours and high pay, but most mines didn’t budge.

So the workers would get beaten and killed while trying to fight for their rights. Their rights that were supposed to be given to them were just thrown away like a piece of trash. The workers were not getting the respect and rights they deserved.

Problems in the GIlded Age Part 2 (Business and Ethics Outcomes)

During the GIlded age business seemed like they were thriving, but in reality they were not. Business owners were making deals with each other then going back on the deals so they can make a profit. John D. Rockefeller would try and buy out oil companies and when they wouldn’t sign them over to him he would try and sabotage your business. (Business and Ethics Outcomes, Problem 2 Oil Refinery) These owners were found to be doing these illegal things even though they knew they were doing illegal. The problems for these business owners is that they just wanted more money, I mean I guess that isn't really a problem, but that is what they wanted and couldn't seem to get. In the gilded age there were many things wrong with the business owners ethics.

Problems in the Gilded Age Part 1 (Child Labor Scenarios)

In the Gilded Age child labor was a problem. Very young kids would work in factories with terrible conditions. Lots of injuries would happen and the children could not report it because they were not legally aloud to do the job. It was very dangerous for men and women let alone the children who had to work at these factories.The problem for these kids was that they were underage and worked in dangerous conditions that either left them injured, dead, or without work. Lewis Hine was a photographer who took photos of child labor. Below is a photo he took of a young girl working in a factory. (Child Labor Scenarios)
