1 answer:

4 0

Progressivism is the doctrine according to which certain economic and social measures - driven mainly by science and technology - are essential for the improvement of the human condition. It is also related to the breakdown of traditional social standards, which in turn would promote values such as freedom and equality.

Progressivism has a strong connection with the Enlightenment.

Historians call the intellectual and political movement of the 18th century enlightenment, which argued that progress must be based mainly on human reason, and not on religious faith. At that time, Christian doctrine was still hegemonic in Europe and throughout the West. For this reason, Enlightenment ideas meant a philosophical revolution, the effects of which are still felt today. Still in the 18th century and over the following centuries, there were profound structural changes based on Enlightenment thinking, such as:

the end of absolutist regimes and the rise of modern democracies;

liberalization of markets and an end to commercialism;

centrality of reason and science, to the detriment of religious thought, and the secularity of the State.

Answer: C. rid Italy of all forms of democracy

How was the headline that made the US citizens react with outrage and demand that something be done in Cuba

Tems11 [23]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

Unfortunately, you did not specify the time in the US history of this situation.

Throughout history, the United States and Cuba have had many differences and difficult moments. It could be in the Spanish-American War, it could be in Fidel Castros' rise to power in Cuba, it could be the bef¿ginning of Communism in Cuba, it could be the Cuban Missiles Crisis during the Cold War, the Cuba embargo, and so many more.

Which one are you referring to?

Tryin to help you with something of value, we are going to assume you are talking about the Spanish-American War context, in which American Yellow newspapers played an important role to get the US into the war, after the sinking of the USS Maine.

During the coverage of the news in Cuba during the Cuban Independence movement against Spain, the United States decided to closely oversee the situation and send the US navy to the Island of Cuba.

The USS Maine was anchored off the coast of La Havan, the capital city of Cuba when it was sunk.

The kind of press coverage from American Newspapers such as The New York Journal, owned by Randolph Hearst, and the New York World, owned by Joseph Pulitzer, directed impacted the US citizen's reaction with outrage and demanded that something could be done in Cuba.

Those two owners were big rivals or enemies, we could say. And they practiced the "yellow" or sensationalistic journalism style to create drama in their audiences and sell more newspapers.
