Where did most progressive reforms begin in American society

Answers

Answer 1
Important Examples of Progressive Reforms
(Progressive Era: approx. 1890s-1920)

Settlement House Movement � White, upper-middle class, college-educated women who wanted to make a difference in society created and worked at settlement houses, which were like community centers in inner-city, immigrant neighborhoods.� They wanted to improve the lives of slum-dwellers by providing education and child care, teaching English and other basic skills, helping the immigrants get better jobs and housing, and uplifting them culturally (art & music appreciation.) Part of the mission of the settlement house workers was Americanization of immigrants � to teach the immigrants WASP middle-class values. The most famous settlement house was Hull House in Chicago, led by Jane Addams.� Black middle-class women ran separate settlement houses for fellow African-Americans � illustrating the racial segregation of the Progressive movement.

Housing and Sanitation Reforms � Progressive reformers urged cities to pass legislation which set standards for housing (to try to eliminate the worst tenements) and such sanitation matters as garbage pick-up and sewage systems.� The legislation would require the hiring of inspectors to see that these standards were met.� Many of the inspectors first hired by city governments under these reforms were women, such as Jane Addams.

Beautification Campaigns � Some reformers wanted to improve the urban environment by making it more pleasant and attractive. This, like the housing reforms, was based on their idea that an improved environment meant improved people. (This idea was a rejection of Social Darwinism.)� Some of their reforms included parks, civic centers, and better transportation systems.� Some historians argue that these were superficial reforms enacted to please the middle-class inhabitants or tourists of cities, but did not really address the dire problems of the masses who lived in the slums.

Anti-Prostitution Campaign � Progressives were responsible for the Mann Act (1910), which� prohibited interstate transportation of women for �immoral purposes.�� By 1915, nearly every state had outlawed prostitution.

Woman suffrage � This was the movement to secure for women the right to vote. Many different kinds of women (race, class, and ethnicity) joined the campaign to win the federal amendment, but the movement was mainly led by WASP middle and upper-class women.

Factory Safety Regulations, Limits on Working Hours (mainly for women), Workers� Compensation for injuries, Restrictions on Women and Child Labor - �While labor unions sought these measures by organizing workers to bargain with their employers, a tense alliance between some middle-class and working-class reformers also sought these reforms by passing laws (government intervention instead of collective bargaining.)� These reformers were successful in convincing most states to pass factory inspection laws, workers comp, and minimum age of employment laws.� Some states passed laws limiting the number of hours women (but not men) could work.� These regulations were usually difficult to enforce; many employers found ways to evade them.�
Another problem was that some working-class families wanted their women and children to work in order to make as much money for the family as possible (in order to survive) and did not appreciate reforms that restricted women and child labor.� Many middle-class reformers did not understand this reaction.� Many middle-class reformers believed that the working class should adopt WASP middle-class values, which included the value that women and children should not work for wages.�
Moreover, even though they wanted to improve conditions for workers, many middle-class reformers were suspicious of (or hostile to) labor unions because they felt threatened by the idea of working-class autonomy, or working-class solidarity.� They were much more comfortable with the idea of the middle class generously bestowing labor reforms upon the downtrodden workers, which is a paternalistic attitude.� Working-class reformers, including socialists, recognized this condescending attitude and were uneasy about working with middle-class reformers to ahiceve labor legislation, though they often swallowed hard and did anyway. There were, however, some examples of fairly harmonious organizations that brought working-class and middle-class reformers together to help workers.


Temperance, then Prohibition � Progressive reformers focused their fight against the consumption of alcohol on the saloons.� Saloons were a major center of immigration.....

Answers

Answer:

Robert Lewis Dear's holds and ideology that abortion is wrong, and that abortion needs to stop immediately.

Explanation:

Because of Robert Lewis Dear's choice of where he committed this act, we can understand that this was not a case in which someone wanted to harm as many people as possible in a seemingly random place, but rather he committed these murders because of his stance on abortion. Abortion has been politically debated for years, and many radical Christians have been known to go to great and drastic lengths to stop what they believe is wrong. He picked the abortion clinic because he was hoping to stop abortions from happening and fight for what he believed in.

Which one is odd factor that determine population distribution

Select one:
a. Natural vegetation
b. Climate
c. Relief
d. Stages of economic development

Answers

Population distribution is a term used to describe how humans are spread across the Earth. Population distribution across the Earth is uneven. Some areas are densely populated where as others are sparsely populated. The land surface of the Earth accounts for around 30% of its area. However, only around 11% of the land surface can be comfortably inhabited by humans. There are many human and physical factors that affect population distribution and population density across the world. Physical factors that affect population density include water supply, climate, relief (shape of the land), vegetation, soils and availability of natural resources and energy. Human factors that affect population density include social, political and economic factors. The main factors determining population distribution are : climate, landforms, topography, soil, energy and mineral resources, accessibility like distance from sea coast, natural harbours, navigable rivers or canals, cultural factors, political boundaries, controls on migration and trade, government policies, types of ... Physical factors that affect population distribution include altitude and latitude, relief, climate, soils, vegetation, water and location of mineral and energy resources. ...

Population distribution means the pattern of where people live. World population distribution is uneven. Places which are sparsely populated contain few people. Places which are densely populated contain many people. Sparsely populated places tend to be difficult places to live. These are usually places with hostile environments e.g. Antarctica. The environment in Antarctica makes it a very challenging location to live, with cold temperatures, lack of vegetation and geographical isolation few people live here.

Places which are densely populated are habitable environments e.g. Western Europe and the East Coast of the USA. This can be the result of flat relief, a favourable climate, availability of natural resources and fresh water. Population distribution is also uneven within a country. Locations with favourable conditions are generally more densely populated compared to those in more challenging environments. For example, North Wales has a lower population density than South Wales. In the north the relief is mountainous around Snowdonia, however, in the south, the relief is flat and can be easily built on.

Population distribution is often shown on a map. It can be shown on a dot map, as below, or choropleth map. Answer: Climate.

How do you think migration impacted the celebration of the Lunar New Year in London, England?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

London, as the English city, started mostly as a place for British people who celebrate New Year by Gregorian calendar, meaning starting with January 1st. However, East Asian people follow the Lunar calendar, and their New Year celebration takes place during the first new moon of the first lunar month (date falls usually from January 21 to February 21 of Georgian calendar).

Chinese people, mainly began migrating to Britain around 1800, while the second wave was around the mid 20th century. By moving to London, they started making their communities and Chinatowns, where they could follow their traditions and religions. This meant celebrating Lunar New Year as well. As the population of Chinese migrants increased, the celebration of Lunar new year began to be bigger and transferred from home to the streets. Today, there is even a celebration of the Lunar new year on Trafalgar Square.

Yet, for some Chinese migrants, this is not New Year as they know it. Chinatown and Chinese festivals have become tourist attractions, as London is a very popular tourist destination. Therefore festivals became public events, even though Lunar New Year is quieter than Westerners know it. Chinese people in China mainly spend the holiday at home with families, celebrate by taking a vacation, and staying in. This is why the new wave of Chinese migrants are mainly spending the Lunar new year at home, sometimes talking online with their families back home, and not participating in the big public festival that has increased with globalization.

what causes different regions in food crops and cultures​

Answers

Environmental conditions generated regional differences in food, crops and culture.

Explanation:

Each region had different environmental conditions, such as climate and soil type and fertility. This makes the crops, crops and food produced in each region consistent with the environmental conditions in each region.

We can use the apple as an example. The apple is a crop that requires cold weather, deep soil, with high fertility and long days, for example. In this case, apples should be produced in states that had this type of environmental condition, but these conditions were not seen in all states. In this case, the states that did not have the necessary environmental conditions for the apple, planted other crops.

The climate and duration of the day and night also caused changes in the day of harvest and harvest of each culture in each state.
