Progressive Era

1.  I define progress as being able to do actions to reach a goal.
2. The Progressive era is between 1890 to 1920s. This time period is referred as the Progressive era because of all social activism and political reforms.
3. The actions were trying to eliminate corruption in the government. Also, in this time women's suffrage was promoted to "pure" female vote to the political arena. The Efficiency Movement that would be in every sector to modernize and bring scientific, medical, and engineering solutions. Also in the Efficiency Movement scientific management and Taylorism played a key part in the movement. Mostly the movements were operated on a local level.
4. The progressive forms seem to have in common is that they would help the government become better and that these reforms to benefit they people as well.
5.   Progressive moments:

        2. Good Goals:  Protects peoples health and welfare,
        3. Strange Goals: illegal to sell and make alcohol
