One of the greatest challenges during the Progressive Era was regulation of the deregulated health and food industries.This was a complicated problem that we do not have to face today due to the work of investigative journalist during the progressive era and today. This was a problem during the Progressive Era, because of the sanitation, the food and the medicine. Many journalist worked on revealing the disgusting and unsanitary side of Chicago’s problems of the meat packing industries during the Progressive Eras.

Today many violent scenes are used for their shock value and for the sake of including violence. However, A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens, has violent scenes to illustrate the time period of the French Revolution. Scenes such as Foulon being paraded through the city and murdered, the Storming of the Bastille, and the fight between Miss Pross and Madame Defarge emphasize the violence of the time through graphic detail and imagery. These scenes add to the novel’s legitimacy by expressing the immense violence of the time and truly showing the horrors of the revolution.

Requiem for Detroit? is a historical documentary, released in 2010 and directed by Julien Temple, about the decline and collapse of Detroit, one of America’s largest cities. It chronicles Detroit’s journey through its success in the automobile industry all the way through its urban decay and industrial collapse to the present day. As the film draws a close, Temple also suggests some ways forward for Detroit. He presents possibilities and clearly shows which he thinks is most likely through his use of interviews with subjects and visual representations of these offered opinions. The intended reading that Temple offers viewers is a complex one, with many anti-consumerist and anti-corporate ideas and leanings. Despite the ‘doom-laden’ feel of much of the text, Temple paints optimism for the potential for a progressive and productive future for Detroit. Throughout the documentary he clearly expresses this intended reading through effective use of motifs, shown by visual and sound techniques, music and interviews with both privileged and non-privileged characters.

This orchestra grows rambunctious, rears on its hind legs and attacks the tonal veil with primitive fury, rendering it, clawing it until it breaks through to the jungle beyond. I follow those heathen - follow them exultantly. I dance wildly inside myself; yell within, I whoop... My pulse is throbbing like a war drum. I want to slaughter something--give pain, give death to what, I do not know.

For most employees in the late 1800s to the early 1900s, the job that you were most likely to have was something with Industry, as a labor worker, or a secretary. There was a definitive social pyramid for the Industry, though. The boss, the leader of the company and owner, then most likely his personal assistant and the secretary, and then the worker. Was this a good or a bad thing? It was a bad thing,

The factory workers at Lowell were mostly young women from New England farm families. During that time, employers hired women instead of men due to the shortage of labor and willingness of a woman to work for lower wages. As a result, for the first time in the U.S. history, the existence of women as wage earners became prevalent. By 1840, there were about 8,000 women working in the textile mills in Lowell, which was about 75% of the total workforce in those factories. Most of those women were from farms and came to mills for various reasons such as helping their brother to pay for college, helping with the home mortgages, to earn a supplementary income for themselves or for educational opportunities offered in Lowell. In some houses, the mill girls were the sole source of income. However, the work environment in the mills where these women worked was extremely poor.

The Slaughterhouse Five novel, is a fictional and nonfictional delight all clashed into one. The author, Kurt Vonnegut, amazingly combines a fictional character’s life with the nonfictional influence of what Kurt himself had experienced. As well as major topics being debated on and dealt with today. Billy Pilgrim takes hold of the story’s main protagonist as a prisoner of war during the Dresden raids in eastern Germany. While reading, I found many relationships in the novel to common concerns, such as time and death; too correlated opinions from other anti-war enthusiasts.

The principal decade of 1900 denoted the purported the dynamic period in the Assembled States. The US had quite recently experienced a staggering increment in the modern development which prompted a monstrous work issue. There was a quick move from agrarian to urban culture.

The greater part of them was in a scan for work in industrial facilities. There was a clog, a condition that prompted one of the most exceedingly bad work issues. The working conditions in the production lines at times were despicable. The working hours were too long, for the most part, more than 10 hours and the wages were too low with normal of $500 to $600 every year. Government control of production line operation was insufficient and subsequently, there were uncontrolled manufacturing plant mischances.

The once lovely condition was supplanted by stopgap structures that obliged poor specialists.

Should community colleges have free tuition for dislocated workers? A dislocated worker can be defined as a person who suffered a job loss because the plant or company closed.

Slaughter city was inspired by a number of work-related incidents that include but are not limited to the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire of 1911 and the 1993 strike at the Fishers meat packing plant in Louisville Kentucky. That information would have been great had I known that before watching the show. The action takes place at the slaughterhouse and follows the lives of the employees and management. Set sometime during the 1990s the play introduces us 22 unknown characters going on about something that will later be revealed. The play Then shifts to three of the factory workers Brandon young white male Roach a black woman in her early to mid-forties whom Brandon is in love with and Magic a white woman who is presumably in her mid-thirties. These characters usually

Another aspect of sound in this film was how it affected the story. By using sound dramatically in certain parts and not using it at all in other parts, sound gave this story an entity of its own. For example, during long stretches of film with mostly dialogue, there was no music played in the background, only a phone ringing in the distance, or the men's voices during their deliberation. These long silences also took place during editing shots of the town and images that surrounded this German city. This dramatic difference in sound was a revelation of how mood can be made by images and sound put together to make an incredible component.

Does the economic benefits of factory farming outweigh the disadvantages? Our lives are so closely linked to these farm animals, what makes them so different from our cats and dogs? We care much of our pets, but when it comes to the term ”factory farm”, little do we know about the production process of factory farm and the truth behind the scene. There are some ways that the producer can make sacrifice and still achieve increased profit. The economic benefit of factory farm does not necessary outweigh the disadvantages. It’s time we should boycott factory farm, not just for the welfare of animals, but also for our own sake.

Surprisingly, quite a few of the regulations in this berlin factory in 1844, would be acceptable today. Many of these regulations still stand in workplaces today. Some of these, however would not be acceptable to employers and employees in today’s labor market.
