Discussion 5 – Progressive Era and the Eugenics Movement
66 unread replies.66 replies.
During the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, eugenics became a popular movement. The idea that human behavior was largely shaped by genetic factors gained a wide following in the United States and throughout the globe, perhaps most notoriously as demonstrated in the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi movement. While eugenics has a very long history, during the late nineteenth century American proponents focused on how science could presumably solve social problems and create a more “perfect” society. Today most evaluations of the eugenics movement points to how science was misused, typically to justify the targeting of certain “undesirable” groups. Proponents of eugenics supported such policies as immigration restriction of certain groups and forced sterilization and institutionalization of individuals deemed “feebleminded” or otherwise unfit.
Your task with this assignment is to examine concerns about modernity and change during the Progressive Era in the United States. Please utilize the attached document to respond to this forum. The document is part of a larger study on eugenics, though you will find that the chapter (Chapter 4) you are examining is not as much focused on eugenics per se, as on the kinds of issues of the Progressive era that were of interest and concern to many Americans. You will select one of the readings (there are 10 in this chapter). Summarize the selected reading with attention to what it reveals about the time period.

What constitutes an appropriate role for the judiciary? Some people argue that courts have become too powerful and that judges legislate from the bench. What does it mean for a court to be activist? What does it mean for a court to show judicial restraint? Although conservatives have long complained about the activism of liberal justices and judges, in recent years liberals have pointed out that conservative judges and justices are now more likely to overturn precedents and question the power of elected institutions of government. Conservatives counter by saying they are simply returning to an older precedent that had been ignored by liberals. If both liberals and conservatives engage in judicial activism, what is the role of the concept of “activism” (perhaps judicial activism is just a term used to describe a court decision you disagree with)?

In recent years, the American armed forces have been called on to perform duties that are more humanitarian than militaristic, providing support after the Fukushima disaster, in addition to funds for drought victims in Ethiopia, COVID-19 vaccinations to countries who could not afford them, Ebola patients in West Africa, and earthquake victims in Nepal. Do we have an obligation to assist other countries experiencing a crisis, or should that be left to private relief agencies such as the Red Cross? Comment.
