2.07 Social Change

Part 1: Social Problems and Solutions Chart

Lack of Protection

Was this social problem addressed successfully?

Is this social problem still an issue today? How?

How was this social problem addressed during the Industrial age?

Yes, lack of protection has been lectured about very successfully and productively because there are many more security precautions and protection do’s and don’ts that have been occupied.

I guess I would have to say yes, that lack of protection for majority of the part, because there are security like security cameras and different types of protection, such as and our usual police officers, that are everywhere. Also, earlier this month, the UN agency reports that majority of people actually lack proper social, not physical, protection.

In full honesty, this issue wasn’t really lectured or talked about and would be mostly because of the existing preparations in the cities, like for example, buildings that are being constructed of lumber, sweltering down buildings and houses, which actually forced people available onto the street for the robbers, burglars, and even the muggers to roam and “have some fun”, and even using candles as being the main and only foundational source of light.

Is this social problem still an issue today? How?

How was this social problem addressed during the Industrial age?

Well, to be honest, I’m 50-50, meaning yes and no, on this question that is mostly because there are still many people that are homeless, which I sadly do see a lot of, however there are a lot of houses and buildings for them, the homeless, so that the homeless won’t be homeless anymore.

Was this social problem addressed successfully?

Fair Labor Standards Act, also known as the Wages and Hours Bill, is a federal statute of the United States was originally drafted in 1932 and passed in 1938. One of the introductions of the FLSA, which is short for the Fair Labor Standards Act, is actually prohibited most employment of minors in "oppressive child labor".

In fact, for majority of the part, the answer would be “yes it has been”, and this would be a “yes” because that there were more structures, meaning buildings, were constructed to both certify and confirm that there were also more people who could live in the buildings.

How was this social problem addressed during the Industrial age?

Is this social problem still an issue today? How?

I actually strongly believed that this issue, child labor, was successfully addressed and efficaciously address. I would say that I strongly believed that is because of the general fact that many people are up to this date have abided by it.

To be honest, it was a little interesting that there were tenements that were assembled and manufactured because of the owners of the tenement buildings were actually realizing that they, the owners of the tenement buildings, could make more money if they had more Tenement housing buildings.

Yes, I wouldn’t consider child labor as an issue as of today because there are jobs that children can start having jobs and even letting children and teens to learn what having a job is like. However, many people would disagree with that because “it is against the law for certain aged-children to be occupied”. Also, I still see newspaper articles about child labor online. In fact, June 12th is “World Day Against Child Labour”. Even in the year 2014, I have seen more than 40 articles about child labor.

Tenement Housing:

"In the 19th century, more and more people began crowding into America’s cities, including thousands of newly arrived immigrants seeking a better life than the one they had left behind. In New York City–where the population doubled every decade from 1800 to 1880–buildings that had once been single-family dwellings were increasingly divided into multiple living spaces to accommodate this growing population. Known as tenements, these narrow, low-rise apartment buildings–many of them concentrated in the city’s Lower East Side neighborhood–were all too often cramped, poorly lit and lacked indoor plumbing and proper ventilation. By 1900, some 2.3 million people (a full two-thirds of New York City’s population) were living in tenement housing."

Statistics:

Poverty and Child Labor

Number of people in poverty: 1 Billion (every second child)

Child Labor:

  • There are an estimated 27 million slaves in the world today—more than any other time in history.
  • 126 million children work in hazardous conditions, often enduring beatings, humiliation and sexual violence by their employers.
  • The highest numbers of child laborers are in the Asia/Pacific region, where there are 122 million working children.

Directions

Research some social problems of the Industrial Age to discover what organizations, resources, or laws are in place to address these social problems.

Poverty

Is this social problem still an issue today? How?

Was this social problem addressed successfully?

How was this social problem addressed during the Industrial age?

I really think that poverty, which can mean “the state of being extremely poor” or “the state of being inferior in quality or insufficient in amount”, would still be considered a massive concern, in America as well as in other countries as of this day. Poverty is still in the news mostly the online news. Here is one recent article, “Millions in Poverty Get Less Coverage Than 482 Billionaires” whose subtitle is “New FAIR study documents TV news' lack of interest in poor”.

http://fair.org/press-release/millions-in-poverty-get-less-coverage-than-482-billionaires/

There were different programs of study that help support the penurious, which means “extremely poor” and “poverty-stricken”, but at last, the manufacture production was still very much an issue.

The reformers mainly came up with organizations and establishments like Chicago’s Hull House, which was created on September 18th, 1889 by social, political activist, author, lecturer, community organizer, and public intellectual Jane Addams and American social reformer and activist Ellen Gates Starr, occurrence of the Social Gospel Movement,which was a religious and spiritual movement that was ascending during the second half of the 19th century. In fact, all of which were actually inspired via assisting the needy.
