Roots of Progressivism Muckrakers: journalists who exposed waste, corruption, and scandal in the highly influential new medium of national magazines, such as McClure's. Progressives believed in science, technology, expertise and education as grand solutions to society's ills. Characteristics of progressivism included a favorable attitude toward urban-industrial society, belief in mankind's ability to improve the environment and conditions of life, belief in obligation to intervene in economic and social affairs, and a belief in the ability of experts and in efficiency of government intervention.

Progressive Ideals Improving working conditions, improving the way of life, exposing corruption, expanding democracy and making reforms were the main idea. Marked with the arrival of three great presidents: Theodore Roosevelt William Howard Taft Woodrow Wilson

Concerns: labor reforms, such as abolishing child labor, 12-hour day for workers at U.S. Steel, and regulating the hours of work by mothers. Reformers opened settlement houses like the Hull House in Chicago by Jane Addams. Helped the poor/immigrants by offering services such as daycare, education, and health care The YMCA was created to help rural youth adjust to the city without losing their religion Salvation Army’s mission: to perform social/charitable work, bringing the Christian message to the poor, destitute and hungry by meeting their physical and spiritual needs.
