Problem-Solving Activity
• For each problem on the next few slides, say which
choice you think is best and then explain why.
Scenario #1
The majority of workers live in tenement houses that are
falling apart and overcrowded. Because they are made
mostly of wood and built right next to each other without any
fire escapes, they would be very dangerous for people if a
fire started. Lack of adequate plumbing has led to there
being a lot of sewage on the streets.
A.These buildings provide housing for people who have no where
else to live. If the housing were nicer then the new immigrants
couldn’t afford it and they would be homeless.
B.A law should be passed that requires the city to collect trash weekly
and also to require buildings to have a fire escape. Also, money
should be spent on roads and trolleys so it is easy to work in the
city but live somewhere else. This will keep the city from getting
overcrowded.
C.Workers should be given a larger share of the profits made by the
companies where they work. No business owner should be able to
make more than 20 times as much money as his lowest paid
employee.
Scenario #2
Democracy is no longer working well in local governments
because of the political machines. Elected officials are taking
bribes from businesses to make laws that favor those businesses.
Also, people can only be hired for government positions like mail
carrier or teacher if they pay a bribe. Lastly, elected officials are
using tax money to pay ridiculously high prices for building and
contract work that is all being done by their friends. Sometimes
this leads to a kick-back where their friends let them keep some of
the money “paid” for the job.
A. Elect people into office who promise not to be corrupt and who
will try and change the laws that allow corruption.
B. Change how governments are run so that instead of electing a
mayor, the governor appoints 5 people to run the city together.
The appointment people are experts in their field – an
engineer, a public safety office, a financial advisor, etc.
C. Get rid of local government and instead have all meetings
decided by the entire town in local town hall meetings.
Scenario #3
State and federal governments allow monopolies to control an entire
industry. Once a monopoly exists in an industry they can charge
consumers high prices, pay workers low wages and pollute the
environment.
A.Monopolies mass produce products wanted and used by society. By
becoming so large they are able to offer more products to more people
and employ more workers. Also, they have generated wealth and power
that has made the United States into a world power.
B.State governments should make laws that regulate businesses. These
laws could include requirements for working conditions, limits on the
pollution that a business can generate and making monopolies illegal.
C.The state should take control of essential businesses, like railroads,
electricity, and oil because these items are all necessary for people to
eat, live in warm houses and transport themselves and goods. Since no
one would choose to live without electricity it defies the rules of supply
and demand, meaning an electric company that was a monopoly could
charge whatever they wanted and people would still pay. For this
reason, it should be run by the government and equally distributed to all
people for a reasonable price.
Scenario #4
80% of African-Americans live in the South in 1900 as tenant
farmers under Jim Crow laws that segregate their daily life,
voting restrictions that deprive them of their right to vote and
the Ku Klux Klan that terrorize anyone who tries to fight for a
better life.
A. This problem is not a Federal issue, but a state and local
issue.
• If you think the people themselves should fix it, describe what the people can do
themselves without relying on the government.
B. This is the Federal Government’s responsibility
• If you think government should fix it, what steps can the government take to
enforce the laws and amendments that have been passed?
C. This problem is too big for our political system, change the
system!
• If you think we need to change the system, what other political systems would
work to address the problems of segregation and racism in American society?
Options
Laissez-Faire, Conservative, Captain of Industry, Big
Business
B. Progressive, Liberal, Big Government
C. Radical, Socialist
A.

or disliked elected official if enough
people sign a petition to create a
special election.

own laws to be voted on by people
on the election day ballot.
5.Pendleton Act sets up guidelines for
hiring government workers (“civil
servants”) so that jobs would be
given based on merit.
