Progressivism
Is History a History of Progress?
This is an image taken of a group of workers that were protesting about how they were unhappy with their working hours, salaries, and rights. I chose this picture for progressivism because during that time period there were labor laws going around that made sure employees got fair wages and safe working environments. There was the Meat Packing Act when the workers were required to have safe environments. Every worker was not getting paid a fair amount because the businesses wanted to keep more money for themselves. So this picture relates to progressivism because it involved complaints by the workers about the working conditions and their wages which is what the image illustrates.
