I worked with Austin Lu and Ward Pullen
Our topics were Spanish Flu, Air Warfare, and Food Laws.
The focus of progressivism throughout the early 20th century was about protecting the well being of communities around the world and the citizens of those communities. This is evident in movements such as shutting down schools and public places to protect people from disease during the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918, changing food laws to protect people’s health, and people educating themselves through the press about bombing precautions in London to prepare for possible attacks in America.

In
conclusion, the primary directive of the progressive movement throughout the early
20th century was focused around protecting the well being of people
in American communities. They tackled this with a wide range of reforms and
raising awareness to the general public. There were reports of the lack of London’s
safety in American newspapers that raised awareness of what to do during a
possible attack. Along with awareness campaigns, they shut down public places
to protect people from disease during an epidemic of influenza, and changed
laws about regulating contents of food to protect the health of the public.
