HW-Progressivism

1. I would define progress as an improvement of situation whether that be in the scope of quality of life, understanding of the universe, or individual improvement towards mastery of some skill.

2. The progressive era was a period of almost universal social activism and political reform between the 1890s and 1920s in the United States. It involved trust busting, women's suffrage, and a more scientific approach to examining social issues. (paraphrased from wikipedia)

3. Progressive goals all seem to be about promoting fairness and exposing inequality.

4. Major goals


1. Essential goals worth striving for
Remove coruption
Southern farmers alliance
2. Good Goals
Government must play a role in economic fairness

3. Strange goals
include more people directly in the political process
temperance movement

4. Bad Goals
socialism
over regulation
