US History Classes


Reading for the CEC

In the fall of 1934, Senator Wagner began revising his labor disputes bill, determined to build on the experience of the two earlier NIRA boards and to find a solution to the enforcement problem that had plagued them. In February 1935, Wagner introduced the National Labor Relations Act in the Senate. The Wagner Bill proposed to create a new independent agency—the National Labor Relations Board, made up of three members appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate-to enforce employee rights rather than to mediate disputes. It gave employees the right, under Section 7, to form and join unions, and it obligated employers to bargain collectively with unions selected by a majority of the employees in an appropriate bargaining unit. The measure endorsed the principles of exclusive representation and majority rule, provided for enforcement of the Board's rulings, and covered most workers in industries whose operations affected interstate commerce.
Wagner's Bill passed the Senate in May 1935, cleared the House in June, and was signed into law by President Roosevelt on July 5, 1935. A new national labor policy was born.

US HIstory 11-9-17

Complete the activity from ERA 6 (6.3.1)

Follow the directions for the Assignment below. Complete it in your Google Docs

Use the LINK, INQUIRE, NOTES, and KNOW format that we have used in class to analyze the paragraph. 


Procedure


1st  List everything that comes to mind about the topic 

2nd  Inquire Write three questions you need answered to gain a better understanding about the topic "Social Issues"

3rd  Notes Read the Paragraph, take notes on the reading recording points of interest

4th Know Write a three sentence paragraph that shows what you know about the topic



6.3.1 LINK
Use this paragraph to gain an understanding that defines social issues.
A social issue (also called a social problem or a social illness) refers to an issue that influences and is opposed by a considerable number of individuals within a society. It is often the consequence of factors extending beyond an individual's control and local geographical environment. In some cases, a social issue is the source of a conflicting opinion on the grounds of what is perceived as a morally just personal life or societal order. Different societies have different perceptions, and "normal" behavior in one society may be a significant social issue in another society. Social issues are distinguished from economic issues; however, some issues (such as immigration) have both social and economic aspects. There are also issues that don't fall into either category, such as wars.
In Rights of Man and Common Sense, Thomas Paine addresses man's duty to "allow the same rights to others as we allow ourselves". The failure to do so causes the birth of a social issue.


Several events during this ERA are causing America to focus on resulting social issues of the time.  Immigration, the success of big business, moving to urban areas/life in the cities, voting rights (women), environmental concerns, and working conditions (formation of unions) are a few.  
In your own words, define what a social issue is and include a social issue that is a concern of our day.
