Current Event North Korea

 

North Korea's Nukes

North Korea has tested 6 nuclear bombs in the past months. This is causing many countries to worry and think about a nuclear war. The United Nations have talked about punishments for North Korea but nothing has deterred North Korea to stop.  one missile that was launched exploded with in seconds of launch, reporters have said that this failure wont stop Kim Jung Un on to try and strike U.S.  North Korea's closest country to an Ally is China and China has tried to tell North Korea to stop with the testing but they didn't. Japan has school drills encase of a bombing from North Korea. South Korea has looked for a truce or some sort of an alliance from North Korea in fear of being targeted. I think that all the countries to ban together and put an end to these testing. For a nuclear war will effect everyone and every country. With Kim Jung Un as leader and crazy as he is there is no telling what he will do, this is why we need to put an end to it before it gets even more out of hand.

Progressive Era

Muckrakers

Muckrakers were people that lead the change in Americas factories. Muckrakers are journalist who would go inside a company and see how it runs, than expose the factories wrong doings to the public. One of the most famous would be the book the Jungle it was about the meat industry how they would kill the animals to packing to meat. Muckrakers exposed factories for their wrongs and how they harm society. One of the first muckraker expose was the tenements, how the poorer side of society lived with 2-3 family's sharing one bathroom.

Muckrakers showed the public what the poor have to live in. By doing this it showed America that they need to do something and help each other and clean the streets. Muckrakers would also be the cause of health inspections and why there are labels on all foods. So the public knows what they are buying and are relying on the government to make sure that the food is safe and healthy with health inspections.

Glided Age

Steel Formation

A man named Andrew Carnegie became one of the richest people ever to live in America. Carnegie used the Bessemer blast furnace to make steel much cheaper and faster. The production of steel was very long and costing until the Bessemer Furnace which created Carnegie to help expand and send America forward in the world. Cities were being built up very fast and there was no more to expand, the only way was up. Sky scrappers being built up only to the 3 floor until Carnegie with production of steel which made it possible to go even higher and safer. Steel created and started the giant cities that stand today. With out Carnegie steel America would be completely different.
