Jane Addams: The Rapid Growth Of Industrialization
According to Jane Addams, some of the issues that America faced were the rapid growth of industrialization, a large class disparity, and many individuals who did not know how they would be able to help others. Also, when Addams described the subjective necessity, she is referring to the reasons why she opened the Hull-House. She cited three different reasons: a desire to interpret democracy in social terms, a willingness to help others, and the Christian Social Gospel movement.
Jane Addams thought that settlement houses would make universal the “blessings we associate with a life of refinement and cultivation” by allowing others who were coming from little or nothing, to be able to achieve a better life through understanding. Addams noticed
that individuals differed from each other due to their cultural backgrounds and their communities. However, individuals all felt a strong connection to helping others in their neighborhoods.
Addams thought that the settlement houses would help women by giving them the opportunity to help others who were struggling. Immigrants wanted help to be able to make something of themselves in the United States by gaining a firm grasp on education and working skills, while being treated with respect. Immigrants might have viewed both their interests, and Addams’s interests as one in the same.
Settlement houses embodied some of the ideas of the Progressive Era due to the fact that they were helped by the community and it focused on the advancement of those who were not well off. Furthermore, Addams thought that settlement houses would have to be ready to adapt to changes that happened in the community to effectively help those who needed assistance.
