- Of the various issues mentioned on this political cartoon (i.e. poverty, child labor, ill-paid labor, workers for better social conditions), PICK TWO and discuss what the Progressives wanted to do to solve the problem.

- Child labor: during the industrial revolution, children were not a protected segment of the American population. They were made to work as hard as the adults 16 hours a day, with no days off, subject to verbal, physical and often sexual abuse. They worked in dangerous positions or fields such as mines or industrial companies. They would often die or be maimed during industrial accidents. Before the Industrial revolution they were expected to work on the fields but the conditions were significantly better. Progressivism fought hard to start setting limits on child labor, including legal age to work, hours, days off and forbidden occupations for children. They fought to make sure that children received an actual education, at least to ensure their basic literacy.

- The Democratic/Republican Back Alley: it is striking that one of the main features of the cartoon is that the Progressive party people are framed by two walls, where two nearly identical bosses from the Democratic and the Republican Party try unsuccessfully to get their attention. The fact that these two representatives of the two major parties are represented as nearly indistinguishable Rich Men conveys the impression that their differences are minimal. What this is meant to criticize is an oligarchic system where two opposing parties with very little fundamental ideological differences take turns every now and then to perpetuate the dominion of the rich aristocracy. The fact that they are called a back alley demonstrates that they are both just establishment shills which perpetuate the illusion of democracy in a political system that only caters to the whims and interests of the wealthy elite. The Progressive party offered a third choice and more lately this third choice was represented by Bernie Sanders who joined to Democratic party in hopes to galvanizing its less corporate and more progressive wing. Indeed, the progressive party tried to end the monopoly of the two traditional parties by radically focusing on progressive issues and the welfare of the majority of the population, while the other traditional parties only vary in the intensity of their allegiance to plutocratic interests.

- What was the long term impact of Progressivism on American Life? Name at least TWO ways Progressivism left a last legacy on America.

- They were able to establish the principle that childhood is a crucial period of a person’s life when his/her welfare is of the utmost importance and education, health and protection are natural children’s rights. They succeeded in abolishing child labor and imposing severe restrictions in occasional work for children. In 1938 Congress passed the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, which imposed a minimum legal age for child labor (14-16 depending on occupation) and imposed severe restrictions on it.

- They also succeeded in imprinting their ideals on politics, notably with the election of Franklin Delano Roosevelt who not only took inspiration from them for his relief and regulation policies aimed at the protection of American farmers and industrial workers and severe laws that regulated banks and corporations and very high taxation of the rich; he also invited several communist, socialist and progressive individuals and organizations to come work at his administration and help him shape national policy.

The triple alliance of 1882 began when prussia

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Military alliance

Explanation:

Triple Alliance, secret agreement between Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy formed in May 1882 and renewed periodically until World War I. Germany and Austria-Hungary had been closely allied since 1879. Italy sought their support against France shortly after losing North African ambitions to the French. The treaty provided that Germany and Austria-Hungary were to assist Italy if it were attacked by France without Italian provocation; Italy would assist Germany if Germany were attacked by France. In the event of a war between Austria-Hungary and Russia, Italy promised to remain neutral. This abstention would have the effect of freeing Austrian troops that would otherwise have been needed to guard the Austrian-Italian border.

When the treaty was renewed in February 1887, Italy gained an empty promise of German support of Italian colonial ambitions in North Africa in return for Italy’s continued friendship. Austria-Hungary had to be pressured by German chancellor Otto Avon

Bismarck into accepting the principles of consultation and mutual agreement with Italy on any territorial changes initiated in the Balkans or on the coasts and islands of the Adriatic and Aegean seas. Italy and Austria-Hungary did not overcome their basic conflict of interest in that region, the treaty notwithstanding. On November 1, 1902, five months after the Triple Alliance was renewed, Italy reached an understanding with France that each would remain neutral in the event of an attack on the other. Although the alliance was again renewed in 1907 and 1912, Italy entered World War I in May 1915 in opposition to Germany and Austria-Hungary.

What raises concerns about Russia's legitimacy as a democracy ?

Ne4ueva [31]

While Russia holds periodic elections and her leaders get into office through popular mandate,the process itself is not fair and credible,despite it being free.
The Russian government led by Putin has a history of silencing dissent voices, and curtailing of fundamental freedoms of a democracy such as free speech,free press and freedom of association.

Which statement proves that the 1970s oil crisis had a positive effect on Texas?

Alex777 [14]

The right answer is A) Government loans gave the oil industry a second chance to boom

The first oil shock began in October 1973, when OPEC member Arab countries embargoed oil supplies to the United States, Japan, and Western Europe in retaliation for the occupation of Palestinian territories by the Israelis during the Yom Kippur War. The embargo forced some European countries and Japan to ration energy and led the world into recession. With the deficit in the supply of this commodity the American government intervened and fomented the economy so that it could survive the crisis that was instated and Texas petroleum became an improvised exit.
