The Progressive Era

Hey guys! This time I am going to be talking about issues from the Progressive Era. There are many problems in the world, but I am only going to talk about a few.

Women's Rights are a very important issue, not only today but long ago as well. During the 1890s women were not treated the same as men. Men got payed more, were treated better, and often got better opportunities then women.

Back in the 1900s FDA Regulations did not exist. No one new it but, people were eating gross things. Most of the time, there were disgusting and horrible stuff that got mashed up in their food. The streets were filled with sewage and dead carcass's and that often times got mixed in with their food. That was when the FDA was created.

In the 1890s people didn't even think twice about the Environment. As I said in the paragraph above, the streets were filled with sewage and trash. There was so much pollution happening because of the huge factories and businesses. Today people are much more considerate of the environment, however I think we still have a long way to go!
