Civil Rights Act of 1964

1. This law prohibited discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

2. I do believe that these behaviors still take place because people are still racist and it is seen in person and on the news how people with different skin colors or sex can sometimes me treated differently then people who are white.

3. There is not really much that an be done against issues of racism because it is very difficult to change the way a person thinks about a certain group of people, also laws have been passed fro everyone to be treated equally and there is not much mire that can be done when it is already illegal.

4. I think  that this field trip will be very informative and interesting to be able to see the park where the children's march took place and see how different things are compared to the movie.

Factory fires

Between 1880 and 1925 3,985,061 people died in factory fires and there are many factors that caused all these deaths. One factor is that the factory wasn't ready for a fire there were no sprinklers on the roof(which were added later) and there were no fire extinguishers so when there was a fir there were no materials in the factory to help them put it out. Another problem that was occurring was because the factories were not prepared for fires the fires would often spread and even the fire escape would catch on fire so there was no way for people to escape.  Eventually factory fire laws came into existence, the factory fire laws fell into two classes the first one concerns the safe guarding of the worker and the second protects his life in case of sudden peril.
