Answer 2

Well i'm in florida virtual school but heres the assignment.
Identify three social problems, such as child labor or tenement housing, discussed in the lesson and research ways in which government regulations or organizations have helped address these issues. Use this information to complete the Social Problems and Solutions Chart.

Answer 3

Basically they want you to choose 3 topics circulating around social problems (i'm guessing issues around the early 1900's?) and explain how they benefited the social problems that you chose, like (what did it do to help the people with these issues.,etc) i'm unsure about the chart thought.

Answer 13

Hi! I was a student on FLVS and I did this assignment! Do you still need help?

Answer 14

Let's first start off with learning what the Industrial Age was! This time was very special to us Americans and those in other countries because, we made HUGE advancements and it helped the economy abundantly. But with ever great thing, bad eventually comes. Some of the cons of the industrial revolution; it cut jobs for workers, with machines capable of doing things in half the time, the need for a large workforce was unnecessary, it increased pollution which did us bad environmentally!

Answer 15

yes I still do need help! i'm just struggling filling out the chart for this assignment! @makaio

Answer 16

I've done this assignment as well. It's really easy to fill out if you have the assignment open as you read the lesson. Fill it in as you move along, If you need a better explanation/help let me know.

Answer 17

I like dont get it like idk :( @Andraste

Answer 18

Hold on, give me one sec while I get my file.

Answer 19

ok thank you so much!! @Andraste

Answer 20

So first pick three topics to fill in the chart. I fill it along with you.

Answer 21

okay umm I guess we could do child labor,tenement housing, and sanitation i guess

Answer 22

Okay, child labor first. Do you think it was addressed socially, politically, etc??

Answer 23

Hint: groups and speakers talked to spread awareness of child workers and their working conditions

Answer 24

It was addressed socially right?

Answer 25

Correct.

Answer 26

Could it also have been addressed politically too?

Answer 27

It was, but not that much because child workers were an overlooked cause. People mainly focused on adults, their wages, and working conditions. No one really bothered to change the conditions or laws for children until later on.

Answer 28

Oh okay yea thats right i remember now.

Answer 29

So speakers and other groups began to raise awareness which is social rather than political. Addressing it socially caused political changes, law involvement, and regulations.

Answer 30

wait are we filling out the first colum where it says How was the Social Problem addressed during the Industrial Age (social movement, law, etc.)?

Answer 31

No this is for the second question. For the first, simply put something along the lines of "This movement was addressed socially during the industrial revolution."

Answer 32

Oh okay!

Answer 33

For the third question (Is the Social Problem still an issue today? How?") think about what you've heard on the news and what you've seen, experienced, and know. Do you think it is still an issue?

Answer 34

Hint: The social movements caused changes in laws and it is regulated now and highly illegal.

Answer 35

No, not really since they made it a law that you cant really work till your 14 or 15 and you can only work a certain amount of hours each day and week.

Answer 36

Expand on that by two sentences, and you'll be set to go for that section. You could mention how businesses are regulated or how it's illegal, or how it's prevented.

Answer 37

Okay I did.

Answer 38

Do you understand the assignment now, or do you still need help?

Answer 39

Yes for the most part but I just have a few questions.

Answer 40

okay

Answer 41

tenement housing was addressed socially as well right?

Answer 42

No, that addressed through laws.

Answer 43

Oh..

Answer 44

Do you understand why?

Answer 45

No, not really. I thought people adressed the issuse not laws.

Answer 46

It wasn't like the child labor where people came together and spread awareness. People already knew about the poor conditions of tenement housing. Speaking can only sway so many and do so much. You can speak about the poor housing conditions, but laws would change it. Laws and regulation "fixed" most of the issues like lighting, water system, sewer systems, and sanitation.

Answer 47

OKay that makes more sense now.

Answer 48

Laws also placed a maxed capacity on most apartments and houses, and made sure houses couldn't be built with poor and cheap material.

Answer 49

For the last question. Do you think it is still an issue today?

Answer 50

Ah, before I forget, for the second question, do you think it was solved successfully?

Answer 51

yes because law were passed to make the houses/apartments have better living conditions for the people that lived in them.

Answer 52

correct. do you think it's still an issue?

Answer 53

No, because house/ apartments today are built out of good durable supplies, have indoor plumbing, and they still have a maximum capacity on how many people can live in them so they don't get over crowded.

Answer 54

Actually it is still sort of an issue. It's not as bad as it was, but in areas that are endure poverty, there are still issues with the living conditions.

Answer 55

hi

Answer 56

hello

Answer 57

that endure* sorry i didnt mean to that are there

Answer 58

lol

Answer 59

OKay so now sanitation i'm not sure how that was addressed.

Answer 60

To make this easier you might want to consider using poverty instead since sanitation is basically tenement housing.

Answer 61

or another movement

Answer 62

i'll use poverty then

Answer 63

Okay

Answer 64

Poverty is the easiest because it's almost the middle ground of tenement housing and child labor. So do you think it was changed socially, politically, etc?

Answer 65

umm i'm thinking politically maybe

Answer 66

Why is that?

Answer 67

because poverty is like not having or making a lot of money to support your self or family or something like that and it has to do with the government

Answer 68

That is half correct, but it was addressed socially. It still is addressed socially, almost every day in a news paper you will hear of movements, groups, speaks, and so on who want to talk about poverty, debt, and the wage gap.

Answer 69

Laws hardly change that and neither do politics unfortunately

Answer 70

Basically people took to the movement socially because no one really cared. the rich wanted to stay rich and couldn't be bothered. The same for the government

Answer 71

workers were overworked, over payed, and lived in poor conditions.

Answer 72

under payed*

Answer 73

So would you put that for the second question?

Answer 74

Yes, basically it was not successful. there were reforms, laws, and movements to try and change poverty but it never got rid of it and poverty continues to grow.

Answer 75

So knowing that, is it still a problem today?

Answer 76

Hint: Homeless people, hungry kids, unsanitary conditions, low pay, not being able to afford healthcare,

Answer 77

Lmao sorry for the mini rant on poverty, I just care a lot about that topic.

Answer 78

Yes, because everyday you see people out on the street asking for food or money, housing being foreclosed, people living in horrible conditions, and kids starving out on the streets because their parents dont have enough to feed them.

Answer 79

Correct!

Answer 80

if you any column that has 1 sentence, try to make it at least 3 because flvs teachers are kind of iffy on requirements and will you a lower grade for the assignment.

Answer 81

Did you finish your assignment? :)

Answer 82

yes all i have to to is finish the questions i have to come up with 2 more

Answer 83

There are questions after the chart?

Answer 84

Yea like you know the interview questions

Answer 85

also are you good with English?

Answer 86

Yea.

Answer 87

Okay so I have to write a thesis statement with this prompt... Are advertisements aimed at teenagers effective? And, are they ethical? and ive been stuck on this for days!

Answer 88

My teacher is so picky on how she wants it written and i'm just about to give up and take the bad grade.

Answer 89

Your thesis will be a mini summary of your essay, so basically your topic + position

Answer 90

I know what it is.. i'm just struggling writing one based off of that prompt

Answer 91

Oh, okay. So what's your position on the topic and i'll try to write one.

Answer 92

I think that advertisements aimed at teens are effective but they aren't ethical.

Answer 93

Why do you think it isn't ethical

Answer 94

Actually i'm not really sure what ethical means.

Answer 95

ethical basically means humane.
right or wrong morally

Answer 96

so if something is ethical then its right but if its not ethical then its wrong?
