Hey everyone!
I am a teen who has been taking Chinese since the start of high school. Sadly, I just finished my last ever Chinese class in HS and I want to keep learning Chinese, hoping one day to become fluent.
Please give me tips and resources!
Hey y'all. I have only done 1 LEQ the whole year. Please grade it!
Evaluate the extent to which labor conditions in the United States changed from 1890 to 1945.
Starting with the market revolution in the early 1800s, the United States saw a massive change with its economy as it transitioned from a subsistance farming based economy to a more industrialized economy. Inventions such as the cotton gin by Eli Whitney, the textile industry boom directed by Samuel Slatter and innovations in farming led by Cyrus McCormick within the farming industry allowed American industry to explode. Nevertheless though, labor conditions were still precarious, even as America's industrial prowess grew. For example, during the market revolution, Lowell Girls in Lowell Mills were faced with terrible working conditions, resulting in many injuries. As a result of poor working conditions, in the period 1890 to 1945, working conditions greatly changed from lacking to better as workers demanded better working conditions through organized labor unions, muckrakers revealed the horrors of an industrialized America, and strikes directly impacting the labor market.
The start of the progressive movement allowed one of the greatest labor reforms in American history. Muckrakers revealed the horrors of what the American industrial system really entailed. For example, when Upton Sinclair published his book, The Jungle, outlining how the lack of regulation in the meatpacking industry lead to workers even becoming severely injured in the job, not only were people horrified, but so was the government. This in turn led the goverment to passing the Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act to impose safety standards when it came to the production of food for Americans. These regulatory acts showcase how the progressive movement when it came to Muckrakers, allowed for the improvement of labor conditions because the deplorable working conditions were exposed for Americans. Consequently, it allowed for the improvement of labor conditions. Therefore, muckrakers allowed for great improvement in labor conditions in the years 1890 to 1945.
The continuation and strengthening of labor unions allowed for better economic conditions. Labor Unions, for example the American Federation of Labor founded by Samuel Gompers, engaged in active negotiations with factory owners to better the rights of workers during this time period. Things that Americans take for granted today, such as the eight hour work-day or a minimum wage started with the American Federation of Labor. If the demands of the workers were not met, workers utilized strikes to force business tycoons to indulge them and meet their work demands. For instance, the Bread and Roses Strikes in Massachussets in 1912 was highly successful, leading to all the demands of the workers being met. The establishment of unions allowed for improving labor conditions because they demanded active change to the situatations most Americans live in. Consequently, it led to better labor conditions as a whole. Therefore, labor unions allowed for greater improvement in labor conditions in the year 1890 to 1945.
Also, please give me some advice on how to HIPP for the DBQ. I am the most worried about that. Easiest way to HIPP.
