Social Problem of the Industrial Age

change in society

How was the
Social Problem addressed during the Industrial Age
(social movement, law, etc.)?

Was the Social
Problem

Problem still an issue today?
How?

when the economics expanded after the civil war the needs of laborers needed a increase

yes, most cities were unprepared for the growth

yes, a lot has change from the industrial age it is nothing like back then when they were broke into threw they place the people and their different categories of working in those

as it was like back then it has completely change we do not have those like we did years ago

change in the cities they had three different groups the upper class,middle class and the lower class. the highest was the wealthiest, the middle was the between as in like a stand still and the

lower was very bad. child labor

most families had to contribute to the household so they made the children work while the adults needed to do that they needed home was

in my opinion the kids should have been doing what the the adults stayed home to do and the adults should have been working yes things started to change after while because kids were not even able to go to school and get their education because of this

child labor is nothing today like it was back then. they have really changed. kids today can get their education and go to work as well and if they do not graduate they can no longer work .

Prepare a written report or presentation of your findings. Submit it to your teacher along with your completed chart.
From the research of mine, seems like social problems always have and seem to always be a problem as well as if it were not for people to even have volunteer any of the social problems it would be even bigger then it was to do, taking the time to to the people who did this for those who need things more than we do. 4. Set up a phone or in­person interview with your volunteer, and conduct your interview at the scheduled time. Remember, if you are meeting your volunteer in person, you should arrange the meeting in a public place and with your parent or guardian's permission. 5. Create a written report or presentation that reflects the information obtained from the interview. You may write a traditional report or use
Web 2.0 tools to create a unique presentation. Your product should explain a social issue that the interviewee cares about and describe the reasons, rewards, and impacts of the interviewee's volunteerism
