This connect to us today because there is more food safety. There is now a law that children can't work until they are 14. Women's rights connect to today because now women can vote.]]> 2021-02-26 20:45:55 UTC https://padlet.com/lhall164/4mixfbafkx0np7kl/wish/1247034665 https://padlet.com/lhall164/4mixfbafkx0np7kl/wish/1247035381 Some reforms made during the Progressive Era include: reforms to stop corruption and fraud, women's suffrage, minimum wage, child labor laws, 8 hour work days. It's all thanks to these Muckrakers (and more) - Jacob Riis, a photographer, Ida B. Wells, teacher and journalist, Upton Sinclair, author of The Jungle. 

How these reforms and muckrakers connect to today: Ida B. Wells fight for her right to vote, in the long run, has paid off! Women of all races/ethnicities are allowed to vote in elections, lynchings are a crime and aren't as common anymore, and segregation is abolished. Upton Sinclairs activism has paid off too, there are multiple food and preparation laws that prevent spoiled foods and goods being sold to the general public. ]]> 2021-02-26 20:46:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lhall164/4mixfbafkx0np7kl/wish/1247035381 https://padlet.com/lhall164/4mixfbafkx0np7kl/wish/1247035855 Some of the reforms made during the Progressive Era were child labor, minimum wage, womens rights, unsafe working conditions, pollution, political rights and more. Many workers were forced into a tough job that lasted multiple hours each day with no breaks. The work conditions were unsafe and very dangerous for anyone working. Some people who were helpful during the Progressive Era were Muckrakers, Unions, Knights of Labor and more. They were all a big help during this time. They made sure the Progessive Era didn't happen again today. 

This connects to today because a lot of the womens rights has changed. For exmaple, women are now able to vote and have more freedom much more today than during the Progessive Era. Today, child labor is illegal and now kids are allowed to work at the age of 14 instead of 10. Work conditions are much more stable and safer. We should be grateful for the ones who fought for our freedom for today. We should thank the mucrakers. Knights of Labor, Unions, and more! ]]> 2021-02-26 20:46:20 UTC https://padlet.com/lhall164/4mixfbafkx0np7kl/wish/1247035855 https://padlet.com/lhall164/4mixfbafkx0np7kl/wish/1247039383 Some reforms made during the progressive era were: food safety laws, laws against child labor, 8 hour work days, more rights for women, and laws to stop political corruption. Because muckrakers like Jacob Riis, Ida B. Wells, and Upton Sinclair were willing to investigate these topics, people's lives were improved back in the Progressive Era and today. People's lives improved because food was made safer, women were able to vote, political corruption became less frequent, and there was more regulation of working conditions in factories. All of these reforms improved quality of life for everyone. ]]> 2021-02-26 20:47:30 UTC https://padlet.com/lhall164/4mixfbafkx0np7kl/wish/1247039383 https://padlet.com/lhall164/4mixfbafkx0np7kl/wish/1247040152 some reforms made from the help of muckrakers during the progressive era include, womens sufferage, child labor laws, shorter work days, food safety laws. this connects to our lives today because now women can vote and have rights, children do not have to work in factories, we have health insurance now, and better work conditions, so our society has improved since before the progressive era.]]> 2021-02-26 20:47:46 UTC https://padlet.com/lhall164/4mixfbafkx0np7kl/wish/1247040152 https://padlet.com/lhall164/4mixfbafkx0np7kl/wish/1247042046 Some reforms made during the Progressive Era include civil service reform, food safety laws, and increased political rights for women and U.S. workers. They connect to our lives today in the evident fact work days are shorter, rights are enforced, food safety is enforced, workers rights are enforced, working conditions are better, etc. Upton Sinclair was a novelist who published a fictional novel regarding the very true horrors he witnessed in a Chicago Meat Factory. ]]> 2021-02-26 20:48:27 UTC https://padlet.com/lhall164/4mixfbafkx0np7kl/wish/1247042046 https://padlet.com/lhall164/4mixfbafkx0np7kl/wish/1247043745 some reforms made during the progressive era are : child labor laws, better hours for work days, women's suffrage, minimum wage change, and stopping fraud. these connect to today because through time, we have evolved and changed and became better in many different ways. for example, in "the jungle" upton sinclair goes deeper into meat factories and how bad they used to be and how toxic they were and how everyone was getting sick and stuff, and now today we are more on top of that kind of stuff and making sure it is safe and healthy what we are feeding people. ]]> 2021-02-26 20:49:03 UTC https://padlet.com/lhall164/4mixfbafkx0np7kl/wish/1247043745 https://padlet.com/lhall164/4mixfbafkx0np7kl/wish/1247048480 Some reforms made during the Progressive Era were : Women's sufferage, child labor laws, less hours of work in a day and confronting fraud and corruption.

Wells, and Upton Sinclair where willing to raise awareness about working class difficulties,  a few reforms where set into place. some of these reforms are as follows: reforms against child labor, and food safety laws, reforms about corruption and woman's rights, minimum wage, work hours and work conditions. Because all of these problems where brought to light, things like the FDA and Work Unions became a thing. A lot of these types of things are still found in the modern day and because of the foul upbringing of the industrial revolution, we have been able to learn from our mistakes and better our society on our mistakes. ]]> 2021-03-01 05:57:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lhall164/4mixfbafkx0np7kl/wish/1251586557 https://padlet.com/lhall164/4mixfbafkx0np7kl/wish/1266332992 Some reforms that were made were child labor laws, women's suffrage, 8 hour work days and food preparation.These connect to our lives today and have a big impact now we have laws now for all of those child labor, working hours, food preparation.]]> 2021-03-03 22:35:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lhall164/4mixfbafkx0np7kl/wish/1266332992 thomasab24 https://padlet.com/lhall164/4mixfbafkx0np7kl/wish/1288892082 There were quite a few reforms in the Progressive Era. Just naming a few, there was the reform of living conditions a issue made apparent by Jacob Riis, a muckraker who helped bring changes to these conditions. There was also Upton Sinclair, another muckraker and author of 1905 "The Jungle" bringing the harsh food practices done by food distributers. This eventually lead to the creation  of things like the FDA, which helped stop those bad practices. This reform really helps us today so that people are getting safe to eat food. ]]> 2021-03-09 17:35:22 UTC https://padlet.com/lhall164/4mixfbafkx0np7kl/wish/1288892082
