Progressivism

Progressive people are people who are concerned with the problems emerging from immigration, industrialization and urbanisation. They can focus in such issues such as; catalysing a number of fundamental changes in the American social and political manners, focusing on humanizing the modern city or improving workplace conditions.

Politically, Progressive Americans wants to change the political system by eradicating corruption and enfranchising women. These progressive Americans are trying to help because they want their country, America, to be faithful and be able to have a civilized country where citizens face problems and where every citizen should be equal and money won’t change decisions of people.
Democratically, progressive Americans aim to promote ideas that are associated with freedom and equality. As I said before progressive thinkers main goal is to have a fair society where everyone follows the same rules and regulations.
Economically, they work toward curbing some of the market excesses without affecting economic growth or eliminating some personal and economic freedom & opportunities.

Despite the ambitions of progressive people to improve the living conditions in the American Society, there are enormous obstacles influencing the changes they could envision, including; hostility toward labour unions, indifference regarding the rural poor and racism toward African-Americans and these concerns are still affecting the American Society nowadays.
