Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the progressive era in the United States meant that there would be regulations that controlled industry and that no one industry would be capable of driving up prices or negatively impacting the common consumer. The writer notes that the chief proponent of the progressive movement was President Theodore Roosevelt. The writer then points out that Roosevelt felt, as many Americans of the time did, that large industries were beginning to control the lives of citizens and that unless some form of control was placed on these industries people would not be capable of having any hope of achieving success. The writer concludes that ultimately the impact of the American progressive era on Latin American countries was felt in the labor force, as well as in the nationalism that began to arise.

United States Impact Abroad
Latin America: Labor and Nationalism
From the Paper
"President Roosevelt further believed that the manner in which many industries were operating would eventually cause environmental concerns throughout the United States. Because of this, Roosevelt moved to limit the amount of land that could be used by businesses and protect the natural environment in the country. This meant the creation of national parks and preserves, as well as the protection of national forests. By 1902 Roosevelt was also focusing on the protection of rivers and waterways within the country to protect the natural habitat of wildlife and ensure that there was adequate irrigation. This was because it was evident that industries were failing to comprehend the impact that their mining, oil drilling, use of timber and use of waterways was contaminating the environment. Roosevelt felt that the only way to ensure that these natural areas were safe in that time and in the future was to forcibly make industries to comply with federal laws."

Abstract
The Progressive Era, which began in the last half of the 19th century, witnessed a number of fundamental changes in the American social and political fabric, and the legacy of these changes continues to influence American society into the 21st century. This paper provides an overview of the historical context in which the Progressive Era emerged, what forces caused it, and what its impact was on American society. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"During the last half of the 19th century, a series of so-called ?Progressive movements? emerged that called for reforms on the local, state, and national levels. Many of these initiatives were mutually antagonistic: ?Historians write of a ?progressive movement,? but actually there were a number of movements, some of them contradictory, but all focusing on the problems created by a rapidly expanding urban and industrial world? (1998:726). Some reformers from the era (often from the middle class) attempted to humanize the modern city; others were more concerned with the conditions of the workplace; still others were seeking to change the American political system that had become characterized by big trusts and corrupt politicians."

This paper examines and discusses the progressive income tax. The paper defines progressive taxation, details its history and identifies the problems associated with such a system as well as possible solutions to these problems.
From the Paper
"In the modern era the debate over the constitutionally and the practicality of the progressive income tax has raged on. In the years since the Amendment to the constitution there have been many changes to taxation laws. The most profound of these changes was the tax reform act of 1986. This particular tax reform was important in defining the current tax system because it increased the progressivity of the combined personal and corporate income taxes (Wallace and Wasylenko). The reform act of 1986 reduced the highest marginal income tax rates from 50% to 28% for high-income persons and removed some lower-income persons from the tax roles. Initially it was believed that such reform would promote economic efficiency in labor supply and result in welfare gains for all citizens."

Abstract
This paper describes life in the 1800s in America. It discusses the many social reforms, focusing on women and their contributions. It also explores education, child labor laws, unions and liquor prohibition in the Progressive Era.
From the Paper
"Before the Progressive Era, the social and economic insecurities that came with old age, unemployment, disability, and poverty were met by religious, family or community efforts (Encyclopedia of Chicago, 2002). In most cases, these efforts provided minimal aid. Wealthy families purchased private insurance, and workers' families joined mutual benefit or aid societies to receive death benefits. The first major expansion in public provision came during the Progressive Era, when social workers and activists fought for government assistance for children, the poor, the disabled, and the mentally ill.
Social workers and activists played a major role in the Progressive Era, as they challenged the traditional ideas of a limited state as they created plans for social insurance and increased municipal services (Encyclopedia of Chicago, 2002)."

Abstract
This paper examines how progressivism refers to a grassroots movement in the United States that reached its height around the turn of the 20th century when more and more Americans were moving into the middle class and were distressed by the circumstances of the less fortunate in the country. It looks at how, through the progressive movement, a wide variety of reforms and social experiments were put in place, most of which made profound and long-lasting changes to American society, including Prohibition and the campaign to win for women the right to vote. It also discusses how progressivism turned a blind eye to multiple forms of prohibition, including that against the newly freed slaves, the displaced Native Americans whose land all Americans lived on, and the Chinese who were brought in to do heavy labor, but were not welcomed.
From the Paper
"Progressives worked for changes at the state and federal levels of government as well. They campaigned for both giving women the vote (suffrage) and for the direct election of senators (Sage, 2004). They believed that society?s problems were great enough that direct governmental intervention was needed. They wanted to se local, state and federal governments in place that would set policies to prevent problems before they developed rather than just trying to solve those that had already occurred. This movement brought about the first safety laws, improved regulations regarding public health and greater governance over public utilities. At the same time they wanted to see government work efficiently, so that tax dollars would be used as effectively as possible (Sage, 2004)."

Table of Contents:
Introduction and Overview
The Evolution of Revolt
The New Revolution and the Progressive Youth
From the Paper
"Opinion polls conducted in the country indicate that the vast majority of Iranians are in favor of reform. There is a growing belief that change in the country is inevitable and that the desire for reform, especially among the youth, cannot be halted. "One reformist academic, who asked not to be named, believes the longer hardliners block reforms and fail to ease the social restrictions of the Islamic state, the more problems they are storing up." (Judah T.) The suggested inevitability of this reform is linked as well to the growing number of well-educated young people in the country. On the one hand a well educated young population is an important asset for Iran, on the other hands "... it also poses a risk if economic and political reforms do not provide them with better opportunities." (Youth shapes Iran's economy)"

From the Paper
"During the Progressive Era, all Americans had an essential dream or motivation that accounted for their presence in the United States. Be it good work for the Irish, or a fair banking system for the Farmers, each group was motivated to succeed and achieve their dreams, in order to better their lives or the lives of their children. Women were no different. Women struggled to achieve equality; equality as a citizen, equality in the work place, and equality at home. (The Declaration of Sentiments: Report of the Woman's Rights Convention)"
