1. I would define progress as improving from one point to another to reach a goal.
2. The 1890's to the 1920's is referred to as the Progressive Era because "it was a period of social activism and political reform in the United States".
3. Some of the achievements and issues that were associated with the Progressive Era was the passing of the 19th amendment which gave women the right to vote to end women's suffrage, children's working hours were limited and their quality of education improved, they passed laws to protect the environment and address the problem of pollution, rise of crime during American urbanization, and alcohols effects on society and the call for prohibition.
4. All of these progressive reforms have in common the want for better living conditions for Americans.
5. Some of the four major goals of the progressives were protecting social welfare, promoting moral improvement, creating economic reform, and fostering efficiency. I have ranked them from 1 being essential goals that are worth striving for to 4 being a less important goal.
1) Creating Economic Reform
2) Protecting Social Welfare
3) Promoting Moral Improvement
4) Fostering Efficiency
