These were both ideals that people from a Broad Spectrum of political spectrums in the progressive area believed were important, and they believe they werent incompatible but you can see some ways in which they were fundamentally at some tension. So again throughout cost day think about democracy versus efficiency. So the central question for historians at the earliest 20th century is what is progressivism .

April wants to respond as well. The wonderful students at Howard University in telecom . Im a sociology major. A journalism major. Nonetheless and this is my personal opinion if you have a blog podcast, you have a role on social media and have a responsibility. You have a responsibility to tell the truth. As someone who has gone through Howard University, you have a responsibility to tell the truth and get it out there accurately. There are so many people not telling the truth, not telling the story correctly, particularly, telling the story about our community that is not about our community. You have a responsibility.

Everybody can be a journalist now, and that is a big problem. Theres a lot of responsibility in being a journalist. Thank you, april. My name is caleb jackson, im 19 years old.
