S PARK # 3 elated&safety_mode=true&persist_safety_mode=1 1. Have you ever been so shocked, so mad, so upset about something, that you just had to respond? What was it? And what did you do? Watch the following clip: 2. List 3 characteristics of life in the tenements. 3. What aspect of their lives shocked you the most?

T HE “G ILDED ” A GE "What is the chief end of man?--to get rich. In what way?--dishonestly if we can; honestly if we must." -- Mark Twain-1871 Mark Twain called the late nineteenth century the "Gilded Age." Why did he sarcastly give it this name? By this, he meant that the period was glittering (gilded) on the surface but corrupt underneath. In the popular view, the late nineteenth century was a period of prosperity, invention, and advancements, but it was also a time of greed and guile: of rapacious Robber Barons, unscrupulous speculators, and corporate buccaneers, of shady business practices, scandal-plagued politics, and vulgar display.

H OW THE O THER H ALF L IVES … "Long ago it was said that 'one half of the world does not know how the other half lives.' That was true then. It did not know because it did not care. The half that was on top cared little for the struggles, and less for the fate, of those who were underneath, so long as it was able to hold them there and keep its own seat." Riis wrote How the Other Half Lives to call attention to the living conditions of more than half of New York City's residents. He described the cheap construction of the tenements, the high rents, and the absentee landlords. He lamented the city's ineffectual laws and urged private enterprise to provide funding to remodel existing tenements or build new tenements.

S PARK # 4 1. Take a guess, what do you think was the result of Jacob Riis’ groundbreaking photojournalism and book, “How the other half lives?” 2. What was the basis of Charles Darwin’s theory of “evolution” and “natural selection?” 3. Considering what you know about the Gilded Age and it’s business practices/workers problems, how might Darwin’s ideas be connected to labor and business?

I MPACT OF J ACOB R IIS Lecture tour with his book/photos in NYC Many of NYC’s wealthier citizens agreed that something had to be done As a result of his work, NY state passed the nation’s first meaningful tenement reform laws!! Leads to the PROGRESSIVE era!!

S OCIAL D ARWINISM Natural Selection-only the strong survive---and they WILL survive!
