What effect did Riis’ book have on society?

History
1 answer:
SOVA2 [1]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

First published in 1890, Jacob Riis's remarkable study of the horrendous living conditions of the poor in New York City had an immediate and extraordinary impact on society, inspiring reforms that affected the lives of millions of people.

Jacob Riis was very concerned with the treatment that immigrants received when they came to America. He did a lot of research and reporting of the conditions that immigrants faced such as work issues and living conditions. He wanted to improve the living conditions that these individuals had and address working issues.

The book was successful. Soon after its publication, The New York Times lauded its content, calling it a "powerful book".

Because of this awakening caused by Riis' efforts, many reforms were quickly compiled to improve conditions for the working poor. In 1894, the Tenement House Committee was established. In 1895, they published the New York Tenement House Act, which outlawed rear tenements and also was the first official document to supplement a written description of tenement housing with photographs.

Answer:

They Broke the Mold When they Made Ronnie." - Nancy Reagan

On the last day of Ronald Reagan’s presidency, as he was walking out of the White House to his limousine for the ride to the Capitol, a White House aide looked at the President, and with tears in his eyes quietly said: “There will never be another one like him.”

Every president is unique, of course, but there was just something special about the man. Yet even people who knew Ronald Reagan well often had difficulty describing him. Optimistic but not naïve. Articulate but not glib. Intelligent yet guided by common sense. Well mannered but never pretentious. Friendly but not a pushover. Charismatic but real. Principled but not intransigent.

He was all of that and so much more. Perhaps the key to understanding Ronald Reagan is to realize his two defining characteristics – he genuinely liked people, and he was comfortable with who he was. That may not sound like much, but when you’re President, it makes all the difference.

President Reagan never tired of meeting people. He genuinely enjoyed campaigning, not just because he could advocate for his political positions on key issues, but mostly because he enjoyed being with people. You could see it in his eyes. There was a certain sparkle when he shook hands and exchanged a few words. He was not just “going through the motions.” He listened to what people had to say, and thought about what he could do to help. Often when he was back in his car or on Air Force One, he would turn to an aide and say: “There was a man back there who…” describing the person’s plight and asking what could be done about it.

It did not matter to Ronald Reagan whether you were the CEO of a Fortune 50 corporation, or the janitor who cleaned the CEO’s office at night. Station in life, gender, race, physical appearance, age – he did not care about any of those. What he cared about was people’s feelings. One time he made a speech that was not his best. The next day, after reading critical newspaper articles, he told his staff: “They’re right. It wasn’t a very good speech, but the poor fella who wrote it worked his heart out, and I was worried he would feel bad if I changed it too much.”

As great a speaker as he was, and as inspiring as his spoken visions could be, Ronald Reagan was equally happy telling a joke to a small group in a social situation. He would be quite animated, and always laughed heartily at the punch line – eyebrows raised, eyes crinkled, head back -- his wide smile lighting up the room. Maybe it was the Hollywood part of him that made him feel good about having made his audience laugh. And he was not afraid to laugh at himself. At the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinners, no one enjoyed the comedians more when they poked fun at the President than the President himself.

He even found ways to be friends with political adversaries. Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill, an old-time Democratic pol from Massachusetts, would say all kinds of mean things about President Reagan. But rather than get angry or carry a grudge, the President invented a rule that Tip could say whatever he wanted during the day, but at 6 PM, the politics would stop and they would be friends. Nothing told the story of Ronald Reagan’s magnanimity more than pictures of those two old Irishmen swapping stories and laughing uproariously in the evening after a day of pretty intense verbal assaults.

Explanation:That’s why he never let ego get in the way. It was not always about him. On his desk in the Oval Office, President Reagan kept a small plaque with the words: “There is no limit to what a man can do or where he can go if he does not mind who gets the credit.” He lived that in everything he did. Next to it was a sign that said: “It CAN Be Done.” The President kept it there to remind himself and visitors that in America, anything was possible – that we were limited only by our dreams.

It was Ronald Reagan’s happiness, his optimism, his enjoyment of life and his undying belief in the inherent goodness and spirit of the American people that got us to believe in ourselves again and put our country back on track. That, more than anything else, is the enduring legacy of the Presidency of Ronald Reagan.

Coba kalian identifikasi/temukan nilai nilai apa saja yang terdapat dalam puisi demokrasi kebun binatang
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Dalam sebulan terakhir, kematian hewan di penangkaran telah menyoroti kekhawatiran yang terus berlanjut seputar konservasi. Kebun binatang adalah hiburan, dan meski berkontribusi pada konservasi, mereka tidak memberikan solusi nyata apa pun. Satwa liar hanya dapat diselamatkan dengan memberdayakan perlindungan mereka di habitat alaminya sendiri — dan itu berarti kita harus bekerja dengan komunitas lokal dan bukan melawan mereka.

Pada 28 Mei 2016, misalnya, Harambe, seekor gorila yang lahir di penangkaran, ditembak mati setelah seorang bocah lelaki jatuh ke kandangnya di Kebun Binatang Cincinnati di Amerika Serikat. Seminggu sebelumnya, dua singa dimusnahkan di Kebun Binatang Metropolitan Santiago di Chili, dan seminggu sebelumnya seekor gajah Sumatera bernama Yani mati di Kebun Binatang Surabaya yang terkenal kejam di Indonesia. Diskusi online telah meledak tentang masing-masing kasus menyedihkan ini, tetapi pada umumnya itu adalah debat yang mengecualikan pandangan orang-orang yang paling penting untuk sukses.

Penentang kebun binatang seperti Marc Bekoff, seorang ahli ekologi perilaku dan profesor emeritus di Universitas Colorado, berpendapat bahwa kehidupan hewan di penangkaran adalah bayangan dari pengalaman mereka di alam liar. Para pendukung kebun binatang seperti Asosiasi Kebun Binatang dan Akuarium Dunia berpendapat bahwa manfaat konservasi yang diberikan kebun binatang lebih besar daripada biaya terisolasi (meskipun tragis) yang dibayarkan oleh hewan yang terlibat.

Di media sosial, para pendukung kebun binatang mengatakan bahwa hewan-hewan penangkaran berfungsi sebagai 'duta' konservasi untuk rekan-rekan mereka yang liar, dan bahwa kebun binatang adalah 'Bahtera Nuh' yang menyediakan penyangga terhadap penurunan spesies yang terancam punah. Sebenarnya, ini adalah naskah yang bahkan diam-diam ditinggalkan oleh industri kebun binatang.

Sementara beberapa spesies seperti oryx, serigala dan condor mendapat manfaat dari program penangkaran, ada sedikit bukti berharga bahwa genetika yang dibiakkan di kebun binatang digunakan untuk memperkuat populasi gorila, gajah, dan lumba-lumba liar. Kebun binatang menyadari bahwa mereka tidak memiliki cukup ruang untuk terlibat dalam program pemuliaan mamalia besar yang berhasil, dan tidak dapat menampung lebih dari sebagian kecil dari 22.784 spesies di dunia yang terancam punah. Jadi, mengapa kebun binatang bertahan?

Kebun binatang memulai kehidupan sebagai hiburan, dan sementara mereka berevolusi, mereka masih ada untuk menghasilkan uang dan memanfaatkan selera masyarakat yang kaya akan hiburan. Tetapi pada tingkat yang lebih dalam, mereka adalah komponen kunci dari sistem konservasi internasional yang menyerupai masa lalu kolonial dan rasial Barat. Sistem ini percaya bahwa komunitas di belahan dunia tempat sebagian besar spesies yang terancam punah hidup adalah masalah yang harus diperbaiki — paling sering dengan memperoleh tanah tradisional, mendirikan kamp dan pengalaman lain untuk turis kaya, dan mempekerjakan penjaga pembawa senjata untuk berpatroli di perbatasan taman dan cagar alam.

Saya harap saya membantu Anda! :)
