what type of issues did the progressives address
Progressive Era Many progressives supported prohibition of alcoholic beverages, ostensibly to destroy the political power of local bosses based in saloons, but others out of a religious motivation.[2] At the same time, women's suffrage was promoted to bring a "purer" female vote into the arena.[3] A third theme was building an Efficiency Movement in every sector that could identify old ways that needed modernizing, and bring to bear scientific, medical and engineering solutions; a key part of the efficiency movement was scientific management, or "Taylorism".
Left–right political spectrum The spectrum is distinguished by position with regard to a social order present in a particular culture, with the left favoring transformation or dissolution of such structures as part of a general transformation of that culture and the right resisting such transformation, the speed with which it takes place, or advocating rollback of change that has taken place. In Europe, left and right reflect mainly class-issues, with the Left seeking more redistributive policies. In the US, social policies are also important, with the Left promoting social reform and the Right defending conservative Christian values.
