America was known to be the “land of opportunity” for many immigrant/people to happily live in for a new life. Unfortunately, it also brought many problems alongside America that need to be dealt with. The extent of the problems are announce in their individual movement. The contribution of tragedy help create solution for the problems. The movement for women’s rights and the end of child labor both experience some kind of tragedy that influence government toward the the effort for a change. For many centuries, women were treated inferior compared to men with lesser rights. Women had almost no rights that men have, the problem was that they were treated differently to men. In a husband and wife relationship, women doesn't the right to have …show more content…
control over their children, their own property or her industry (Doc 1). In fact, they are very dependent on their husband due to the rights exclusively given to the men. This slowly started the realization of the problem between the rights of men and women leading to the women's right movement. Women probably didn't receive rights to beginning with because they were view as emotionally and physically weaker than men to do anything and are consider for taking care of the house and children (O.I) Due to the previous judgement by men, women never gotten a chance to prove that they are able to do as much compared to men. The rights of men becomes more apparent for women to take action for the development of the suffrage. The extent of the women’s rights movement was decently successful in the end.
However, it isn't very successful in the time achieving its goals, as it took more than 70 years just to win the right to vote for women. In addition, even after they won the female suffrage, they still lack equal access to profession and the law to political power compared to men (Doc 3). Sadly, it did not end the difference of rights between men and women, also women still had to face prejudice and discrimination. They did gain important rights such as more wage for equal work and the ability to vote for what they want, for example the protection of children (Doc 2). In a extent the movement was successful, but simply took many years for it take place. They might not start with equal rights, eventually they still get their rights in the end. The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire played a major role in the success of the movement as it was turning point of for the government to give protection and the need for a change for women (O.I) The tragedy was a sacrifice that result the government to take action for the better giving women the chance for equality. In the modern era, both women and men have the same rights to vote and as citizen, the time and effort of the movement was great …show more content…
success. Since Industrialization in the 1800s, many childrens are assign as cheap labor in home industries and factories in order to earn money to support their family.
The problems is that children are facing harsh condition that may harm their health from the long 8 hour of work, while only earning 10 cents per day (Doc 7). Child Labor is a problem that will become a danger to children life. It evidently is unfair that a child only earn 10 cents for the amount of labor they put to get money. Children are too young and immature to handle tough labor, they should be educated to succeed. However, for the children in labor, they are facing long-term health problems from dust and debris in mine or factory that may shorten their lifespan (O.I). If the problem were to continue, it would affect the population of US led to development of child labor
movement. The movement for the end of child labor eventually did succeed in the end, but similar to the women's right movement it face some problem and took time to reach its goal. The problem of child labor was becoming more apparent as more people dislike child labor. Eventually, a bill was passed to stop child labor, unfortunately the Supreme Court ruled the law as unconstitutional, which continued the labor (Doc 8). Due to the Supreme Court declining the stop of child labor, making the movement ineffective in stopping the problem. As time goes, tragic children deaths increase along with more influence from Progressive reforms encourage the U.S congress to take actions (O.I). U.S Congress proposed a constitutional amendment to prohibit child labor become the climax for stopping child labor. Afterward, the protection for children is admitted in the form of the Fair Labor Standards Act (Doc 8). Which allow children to focus on education and banned oppressive child labor. Ultimately, the movement was also very successful, just with some obstacles that prevent the end of child labor from happening sooner. In the end, both movement were successful in achieving its goal. These two movement may have a rough start taking many years to achieve either women’s rights and the end of child labor. But in conclusion, the long efforts is worth the result for the many benefits shaping the US. The movement can be considered revolutionary in changing US, as we no longer have child labor or the inferior rights of women. Americans efforts can change many things, no matter how it takes.
Through the 20th century, the communist movement advocated greatly for women's’ rights. Despite this, women still struggled for equality.
Throughout the 1800s, women across the world began establishing organizations to demand women’s suffrage in their countries. Today, there are still women in countries fighting for their right to vote. Some countries who’ve succeeded in the mid to late 1800s were Sweden and New Zealand. Once they expanded women’s suffrage, many other countries followed. Like Sweden, countries first granted limited suffrage to women and other countries approved to the full national level. Additionally, there were quite a few countries who had taken over a century to give women the right to vote, Qatar being a prime example. Although the fight for women’s suffrage varied in the United States, France, and Cuba in terms of length and process, each effort ultimately
Kale Reed, In previous times, the equality between men and women was at a dramatic difference. It is frequently believed that women's suffrage was desired and fought for only in England and the United States during the 19th century. Though these movements changed in their reasons and tactics, the battle for female suffrage, along with other women's rights concerns, cut through many national boundaries. Women's rights and suffrage changed drastically from the 1890s until the time of Nixon's Administration. During this time, women were treated poorly, and they felt as if they weren't equal to other citizens of the world, especially men.
Women have had it rough throughout history. Their declining position in the world started during the Neolithic revolution, into Rome, and past the Renaissance. However, at the turn of the twentieth century, women began advocating for equality no matter their governmental situation. This promotion of women's rights is evident in communist nations during the twentieth century and their fight against hundreds of years of discrimination. It can be seen that women were brainwashed into believing that their rights were equal with the male population through the use of propaganda, yet this need for liberation continued despite government inadequacy at providing these simple rights. Women in communist countries struggled for rights in the twentieth
The thought of women having equal rights has caused major controversy throughout American History. Women have fought for their rights for many years, wanting to be more than a wife or a maid. Women’s Rights Movement was an effort by many women around the U.S standing up for themselves. Feminists like Charlotte Perkins Gilman had a big impact on the movement by writing stories and articles, she spread awareness by writing these. Throughout this Movement women got the right to vote, and many more opportunities they were not offered before.
In this paper I will be discussing women's rights in the book Of Mice and Men compared to now.
During the reconstructive (1865 to 1877 following the American Civil War) and progressive era (from 1890-1920) there was several amendments that made and make America more democratic (relating to, or supporting democracy or its principles).
Nothing simply begins. Everything needs something else in order to develop and live continuously. Fire needs wood to burn, water needs heat to boil, and the women’s right movement needed abolition to begin the real fight. The women’s rights movement of the nineteenth century emerged out of abolition activism because it was not until after abolitionist groups formed and began fighting slavery that women began to realize they had no rights themselves and began their own fight.
Throughout time children have worked myriad hours in hazardous workplaces in order to make a few cents to a few dollars. This is known as child labor, where children are risking their lives daily for money. Today child labor continues to exist all over the world and even in the United States where children pick fruits and vegetables in difficult conditions. According to the article, “What is Child Labor”; it states that roughly 215 million children around the world are working between the ages of 5 and 17 in harmful workplaces. Child labor continues to exist because many families live in poverty and with more working hands there is an increase in income. Other families take their children to work in the fields because they have no access to childcare and extra money is beneficial to buy basic needs. Although there are laws and regulations that protect children from child labor, stronger enforcement is required because child labor not only exploits children but also has detrimental effects on a child’s health, education, and the people of the nation.
The women's suffrage movement evoked many areas of debate. Women in the 1848-1920 campaign for suffrage argued that women were naturally equal to men, women were being neglected by the U.S. government and also deflected the notions of a domestic life and the legal basis for equality.
During the time from 1825 to 1855, the United States experienced a great expansion of democratic ideals. This expansion owes its efforts to the Second Great Awakening, a religious revival movement of the early decades of the nineteenth century in reaction to the growth of secularism and rationalist religion. With a heightened view on moral standards pushed by Newfoundland religious devotion, people wanted to create a society that more accurately fit democratic ideals. In 1825 to 1855, woman rights, increased awareness on social issues, issues with both the education and prison systems, and people in slavery systems became aware of the short comings society has had according to the ideals of democracy. These moments emphasized the democratic
Suffrage is a very important topic regarding women, and it is something that they fought for during the years. There were several factors that led to women pushing and pushing harder for suffrage. An example was how they were regarded, how limited they felt, and to have autonomy from their husbands. Document B clearly shows the sexist view that damaged women ideal, which was that they were created for the purpose of bearing children. This ideal, led to women feeling limited in what they could do, and even doubt their own capacities.
The Progressive Area was a period of time when working Americans were working in poor conditions, unhealthy living situations, and under a corrupt government.
Discrimination based on gender or sex is a common civil rights violation. Discrimination continues to exist in all forms, despite the efforts to eliminate it. Skin color, religion, and sex are the central components of discrimination in the world. One specific area that has shown great improvements over time is gender equality. Throughout world history, women have been viewed as inferior to men. In the United States, women were not allowed to join the military or vote. The United States has made great strides in providing equal opportunity to all genders. In spite of the several laws and acts congress has passed, women are still viewed as subordinate people.

Ding! That’s the sound of the oven going off, signaling that the cookies are done. Wait, where is the oven mitt? Oh NO! The cookies, they’re burning, hurry! Hurry! OOPS, too late. One cannot simply be a female and let cookies burn, can she? Yes, she can. Throughout history women have been oppressed and confined to the kitchen and the house. Women who sought to get rights were seen as radicals and sometimes even blacklisted from their jobs for protesting. Since ancient times, women had served as the caretakers of the home, children, and husband, getting nothing in return. Society had made it an expectation that women had to be married at a certain age and at times, not even finish their education. It was frowned upon if a woman wished to do more, such as get a job, or not get married at all. During the late 1800s to the 1900s women’s rights activists such as Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, to name a few, had stepped up and fought for women’s rights to vote and be heard as a valid voice. This had been the first step towards feminism and equality. After women were given the right to vote, there was given the issue of whether women should have a place in everyday society. They were
