Progressivism: Overall Thesis

This blog is a thesis of the four ideas of progressivism our class came up with.

1. New expectations for government to act like a referee in society, promoting fairness
2. People solved problems, but their solutions also sometimes created new ones.
3. People looked to government to protect physical health and wellbeing from many modern threats.
4. Improve society and move forward to improve people's mind/health/lifestyle.

Thesis: The people of the progressive era encouraged improvement of health, lifestyle, and societal fairness by the referee-styled involvement of the government as well as society. The people looked to the government as a source of change for the better.
