Case Study Week 5 What are the goals of progressivism and what areas of society should be addressed?” The main objectives of the progressive movement were eliminating the problems caused by industrialization, urbanization, immigration and political corruption (Buenker 1986). “Our aim is to secure the real and not the normal rule of the people” Roosevelt 1912. Progressives want to put an end to whatever the government’s plans were for the privilege and sinister special interest, and frustrate the will of the people, by putting a wall between them from which they can fight behind and push back the reactionaries. Roosevelt stated that a Progressive is someone who stands for social justice. These forms of social justice include protection for the factory girls from the machinery, setting limits to how many hours women and children could/should work, and ensuring suitable living condition
