Living Essays about Progressivism

Working with Raquel, Faiza, and Abby. We combined the topics of Prohibition, Soft Drinks, and Mother Jones to create an introduction and a conclusion about the Progressive Era.
Introduction:
During the Progressive Era, the public cared about the well being of the society. The public wanted to move forward in different areas such as health and personal safety to improve the human body. Most of their views included ideas of prohibition, protests, and finding a replacement for hard liquor.


Conclusion:
Prohibition, protests, and a replacement for hard liquor were ideas that the public focused on during the Progressive Era, often calling for government action, so that they could better the health and security of what goes into, and happens to people.Prohibition forced people to drink healthier drinks and have a healthier lifestyle, which led to boom in healthier people. Soft drinks and Coca-Cola especially helped improve the innovations toward marketing, advertising, and the entertainment of Americans, and Americans made major advancements during this time. Mary Jones was known as a mother to children and “boys” she led in strikes, she devoted her life to the health and safety of everyone she led on independent strikes.Overall, these ideas for a better society had a positive effect and improved the human mind and body during the Progressive Era.
