The unfortunate thing about this is today people get away with doing drugs so much more. Not as many people get caught or get in trouble for it.
Yeah marijuana should not be legalized so many more people would do it. It isn't good for you in the first place and we don't want younger kids starting this.
I agreee so many still do marijuana and i believe that is it the leading cash crop, some people like to smoke it because it is illegal, but others would rather not get in trouble for doing it.
In 1920s the Porhibition of Alcohol didn't really work because clubs would still have underground alcohol parties. Families would brew their own beer illegally at home anyways. The prohibition in 1920s didn't stop people from drinking. Marijuana is illegal today and still so many people do it. There are two different sides though, some people want to do it because they know it is illegal and think it is cool while others don't want to do it because they know they could get in serious trouble for it.
The progessive Era was really a great time for the U.S. we made so many more reforms which helped this country to become so much better as a whole. We made a food reform, women's rights, sanitiarty reform, drug reform, and many others.
I agree with you Madison there were so many things that changed, like food. Before progessive era spoiled animals and vegetables were used which cause huge outbreak in diseases. Also to preserve things or make things last longer they added water to wine and chalk to bread. GROSS.
I think it's a huge problem, but the bigger problem is that it won't go away. A lot of jokes are made today and at least half of them are racist, but we don't realize it.
This is very true, it might be good to help other countries out, but we definitely need to get everything figure out in our country first because as of right now we aren't doing to so well and we can't just keep dishing our money out to other countries when we don't even have enough to pay China back.
I think that the westward expansion was worth even though the journey there was rough you could get a lot a freee land and start from something new and it was a very good experience.
It was a good insentive to come to America also because we had a lot of freedom and we were rising with painters and writers and many things like that.
That's one of the reason we have so many national parks today because he wanted to preserve the land. Yellow Stone National Park hold many things that are untouched, such as land and animals.
I agree I was reading things from the Progessive Era and it said that they used to use spoiled animals and vegetable to make food. And added water to wines to make it last longer, along with adding chalk to bread, it's discusting. I'm glad they made that reform because a lot of diseases were cause by unsanitary things too.
I agree people also move out west today for different reasons. People with a lot of money move West to buy bigger houses or to be around the ocean or if you are looking for different jobs that pay more going out West will give you that like California.
I think this kind of imperialism was good becuase helping other countries out is a plus for us, then they are on our side if anything were to happen to us.
No, I don't think that racism ended once Barak Obama because president even if it is minor I feel like we will always have racism, it's right, but it is always there.
I think it was a very good choice for America do build the Panama Canal, we got credit for it and it is a huge part of todays world becacuse it is used as our main shipping source in todays world
Me too I don't think it should be allowed and did you know that Nike uses child labor? I dont think this is right if children are working they should at least have better working conditions for them.
I agree with you andrew, the Panama Canal is our main shipping source, it made things a lot easier and faster back in the day and still plays such a huge role in our world today.
I agree with you madison becuase people really wanted the free land in America, I would too, people also came for their own freedoom and America was rising and becoming more popular with musicians and writers.
I disagree zack, we are an imperialistic country. We definitely force things on other countries and most of the time it is for the better. Some countries right now are doing so well because we force our things onto them.
I agree with your post we are an imperialistic country, but sometimes I think that we might push too hard on other countries, it can be good when we do but not all the time.
What do you think would happen if we pulled away from China instantly and didn’t use them in our economy at all? This would be a bad move to make because we have become so reliant on China that if we backed out and didn’t use them for goods and other things our country would go downhill. We depend on China just like they depend on us we trade each other goods, we might be able to pull away slowly, but even then it would be hard.

Even though the journey in the Westward Migration was cruel would you still leave everything you had to get new free land? It would be hard leave everything you have, but if I had people to go with or help me out on this journey I would definitely go out and get new land. Most other places in America had lots of people it would be a good experience to get out and try and start out with nothing such as making your own house and things like that.
How did the Renaissance change people’s perspectives from a one dimensional view of the world to a more global outlook? People realized there was more in the world to do, people became more creative and started becoming artists and musicians. Big artists like Leonardo De Vinci started to become much more popular.

How much different was the food industry before the food reform? Before the food reform food was not good quality at all and all proportions were unequal. Before the food reform spoiled animals were used for meat and chalk was used in bread. Water was added to wine so they wouldn’t have to waste wine and could make it last longer. Something called scientific management came into play and it said that everything had to be the same portions and spoiled animals and vegetables could no longer be used.
What do you think are the biggest differences from child labor today from the late 19th century? Child labor today is a lot less extreme then it was in the late 19th century, now a days kids in school have a certain number of hours they can work during a school week and have minimum wage and don’t have bad working conditions, although places like Nike have child labor it isn’t as cruel as it was in the late 19th century kids would get paid very little only enough to provide for their family and didn’t have good working conditions at all.

As a business owner I agree with you Pinkertons are necessary, if people want to complain and take their jobs for granted there are many other people out there who would love these jobs instead.
I agree with you brooke if none of the workers get a say its not really fair, collective bargaining makes it so workers can also have a say what happenes in their jobs.
I have to agree with the collective bargaining. Without collective bargaining workers could get fired for no reason even if they are doing their job well which isn't fair at all. Collective bargaining also gives business owers and workers an attempt to negotiate to try and agree on one thing, this can be used for hours, wages, and working conditions
I definitely agree with you taylor without collective bargaining workers wouldn't have rights and could be fired for know reason which wouldn't be fair.
I agree with what you said, unions make communication civilzed between businesses and workers. They can communicate easier with eachother and give each other new and improved ideas to make the company or business.
I think that unions are still needed. Now adays we have much better working conditions so they aren't necessarily needed for that, but they are still needed. With different unions you can have different benefits and unions keep everyone in control, so all of the power doesn't go to one person.
As a wealthy business owner I disagree with this statement I think that if you were lucky enough to get a job back then you shouldn't be wasting your time trying to protest against my business. Also if you really don't want to work and protest you are losing a huge part of income for your family and you might not have enough money to provide for your family.
As a wealthy business owner I am for the Pinkertons, the Pinkertons were people who acted like cops to break up the protests. This is a very good thing for my business because my business should be a place of work and not a place to fool around. The pinkertons will come in and help my business run smothly. This is also a disadvantage for the workers because instead of working and getting paid they are worried about protesting against my business
As a wealthy business owner I disagree with this statement. I understand that you are a working mother and concerend about your child, but if your child stopped working you would lose a lot of money. Your child's money counts for some of your family income and without them you won't be making as much money to provide for them.
As a weathly business owner I am against the Keating-Owen Bill. I think that having kids work benefits themselves along with their family. The kids provide for a part of their families income and without them working the family might not have as much money to provide for everyone. With children working it can increase the amount of things that get done in my business
As a wealthy business owner I am disagree with this post, with more immigrants coming in to America it is going to save me a lot of money. I will still keep some jobs for people from America, but ones that take their jobs for granted won't be working for me anymore, and those jobs will go to the immigrants for cheaper labor.
As a wealthy business owner I am agianst Immagration Reform because immigration reform puts limits on the amount of immigrants coming into America. I am against this becuase with more immigrants coming in looking for jobs this is a lot cheaper for my business. I can pay the same amount of immigrants as people I have working now for a much less price and that will save a lot of money in the long run.
As a wealthy business owner I disagree with this because you don't need all that much time to rest and it is only adding 2 hours to everyday and something positive would be that you make more money.
As a wealthy business owner I disagree with this. Yes, I would pay my workers less but not by much, you would still be able to provide for your family, but it would help for the business and the econmy a little bit more and in the long run might help you!
As a wealthy business owner I don't totally agree with a minimun wage of $7.25. I would like it if I could pick how much to pay my workers, I wouldn't pay them as much which would be a disadvantage. It would help me in the long run because with more money I could expand the building I am working in and hire more people to work and our business could move fast.
As a wealthy business owner I disagree with the 40 hour work week. I would rather have my business be working a 60 hour week, this would benefit the business and the workers. If we raised the hours we could make more money for the business and the workers themselves would get more to provide for their families.
