Have you read the links I gave you yesterday? What IS Progressivism? What did TR accomplish that fit the goals of Progressivism? I will not give you the answers. No one else will, either.
i did. I wanted to discuss with somebody, what I thought from the video is considered progressivism
Alright! Let's discuss! What have you discovered?
I'll check back again in a while to see if you want to discuss your ideas. I'll take the time, if you will.
Certainly! In order to figure out things that relate to Progressivism and the Progressive Era in the video, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by watching the video: Begin by watching the American Experience documentary "TR, The Story of Theodore Roosevelt" Part 4 on PBS. Take note of the major events, policies, and actions of Theodore Roosevelt during his presidency.
2. Understand the context: Familiarize yourself with the broader historical context of the Progressive Era, which took place roughly from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. This era was characterized by a wide range of social, political, and economic reforms, driven by the desire to address the negative impacts of industrialization and promote social justice.
3. Identify progressive policies: Pay attention to any policies or actions discussed in the video that align with the goals of the Progressive Era. Look for initiatives that aimed to regulate big business, improve working and living conditions, address corruption, protect consumers, promote conservation, or expand the role of the federal government in promoting social welfare.
4. Take note of specific events or reforms: Look for specific events or reforms mentioned in the video that were significant during the Progressive Era. For example, Roosevelt's trust-busting efforts, such as the dissolution of the Northern Securities Company, are examples of his attempts to curb the power of monopolies. Also, pay attention to any discussions on labor rights, women's suffrage, conservation efforts, or political reforms like direct democracy and the initiative and referendum processes.
5. Consider the impact: Reflect on how the policies and actions of Theodore Roosevelt and the Progressive Era discussed in the video helped to shape American society and politics. Did they successfully address the problems of the time? Did they have long-lasting effects or lay the groundwork for future reforms?
By closely watching the video, understanding the broader historical context, identifying progressive policies, noting specific events or reforms, and considering their impact, you will be able to analyze and discuss the progressive elements highlighted in the video.
