Connecting past and present helps you see how humans have chosen to deal with conflict, which can lead to war, political debate, neighborhood riots, discrimination, etc. But also linking past and present helps us see how humans have solved any problems they have come across. Whether it be an economic issue, something that effects many people, or a personal issue.
The correct answer is:
It is not necessarily better to have financial advantages.
"My Antonia" is a novel by Willa Cather in 1918. The novel is about the story of the pioneers of Nebraska and their life in the Old West, making emphasis on the role of the women during that time. This excerpt mainly explains how despite their low resources, the girls learned from life, from poverty, from their mothers and grandmothers and makes a comparison of how they were even more interesting than the younger brothers and sisters who had advantages were not better than them. Which supports the theme that is not necessarily better to have financial advantages.
The information of the article confirms some conditions described by Clara Lemlich such as the lack of protocols and space inside factories.
By the beginning of the 20th-century industrialization grew and expanded in the United States. This change implied the need for more workers and production. Due to this and other factors, working conditions during this time were not the best. It was common:
- Children had to work.
- Workers work for 10 hours or more.
- Wages were low.
- Accidents were common.
These conditions were reported by many during this time, this included the "Preliminary Report" by an investigating commission and an article written by Carla Lemlich who led the women's labor movement. Because the historical and geographical context was the same Lemilich confirmed some details about the conditions described in the report such as:
- Neglection of human factor: The safety and welfare of workers was not considered as production was prioritized.
- Lack of protocols: Lemlich confirmed there were no protocols related to emergencies especially fire scapes, safety, hygiene, etc.
- Lack of space: Lemlich confirms the space inside factories is very limited due to machines and workers.
Note: This question is incomplete because the report is missing; here is the name of the report the question refers to:
"Preliminary Report of the New York Factory Investigating Commission, 1912"
