1900 Essay

Du Bois, and others to want to maintain a hardworking attitude they hoped would bring them the rights that they were requesting, the philosophy of Booker T. Washington.

of opportunity that did not exist before. The reality of American in the early 1900’s was that the working industry was poor, men were still superior to women, and urban life was not as glamorous as people had hope. In the early 1900s factories did not have the labor laws that are in place today. Wages were low and the industries themselves were extremely dangerous. From across the

Clothing in the 1900’s was different than it is today because people always covered up everything, made their clothing out of natural material, and there was really only one style on how to dress. Men and women covered up everywhere from head to toe, and when it came to showing skin, it was almost unacceptable. Another drastic change that puts clothing at a different standpoint then it s today is the material used to make their clothing. They had only one option, and that was just natural materials

Over the years of 1877 to the 1900’s many changes were occurring. The Southern cities were changing faster than anyone could’ve imagined with new transportation, growing industries, and the end of slavery. Not to mention, the changing role of women. In the New South by the year 1880, steel and iron mills were progressing across the North. Railroad construction was fast paced in the 1880s. Comparing 1880 to 1890 the tracks had doubled with Texas and Georgia having the biggest growth. In 1886, an

world isn’t the same to as it was many years ago. Our world has changed tremendously in so many ways. The way people worked in the early 1900s is completely different to how people work now a days.

1900 Versus 2000      I think that we take for granted the things that we have today. Just look at all of the innovations in technology and quality of living over the last 100 years. Back in the year 1900, things went crazy. All sorts of new inventions were coming out all of the time, and people were becoming rich beyond their wildest dreams. In my opinion, the past 100 years have left us in a completely different world.      Back in the early 1900’s

A nuclear family is a family composed of a married father and mother and their children. This type of family became increasingly popular following the industrial age in the 1900s. The nuclear family soon became the norm as people transferred from large kin groups to smaller independent families (Pulsipher, 2015).

Despite the change in atmosphere, Degas focus on the female body did not sway. Not only does
