A New Conscience and an Ancient Evil - Publishing People Series by Jane Addams Pdf

In every large city throughout the world thousands of women are so set aside as outcasts from decent society that it is considered an impropriety to speak the very word which designates them. Lecky calls this type of woman "the most mournful and the most awful figure in history": he says that "she remains, while creeds and civilizations rise and fall, the eternal sacrifice of humanity, blasted for the sins of the people." But evils so old that they are imbedded in man's earliest history have been known to sway before an enlightened public opinion and in the end to give way to a growing conscience, which regards them first as a moral affront and at length as an utter impossibility. Thus the generation just before us, our own fathers, uprooted the enormous upas of slavery, "the tree that was literally as old as the race of man," although slavery doubtless had its beginnings in the captives of man's earliest warfare, even as this existing evil thus originated.

New Conscience by Jane Addams Pdf

Excerpt from New Conscience: And an Ancient Evil The following material, much of which has been published in McClure's Magazine, was written, not from the point of view of the expert, but because of my own need for a counter-knowledge to a bewildering mass of information which came to me through the Juvenile Protective Association of Chicago. The reports which its twenty field officers daily brought to its main office adjoining Hull House became to me a revelation of the dangers implicit in city conditions and of the allurements which are designedly placed around many young girls in order to draw them into an evil life.

A New Conscience and an Ancient Evil by Jane Addams Pdf

It is always easy to overwork an analogy, and yet the economist who for years insisted that slave labor continually and arbitrarily limited the wages of free labor and was therefore a detriment to national wealth was a forerunner of the economist of to-day who points out the economic basis of the social evil, the connection between low wages and despair, between over-fatigue and the demand for reckless pleasure.

A New Conscience and an Ancient Evil by Jane Addams Pdf

"The supreme religious test of our social order is the hideous commerce of prostitution."-Jane AddamsIn this profound and influential work, Addams confronts the societal scourge of prostitution with unwavering clarity and compassion. Drawing from her extensive experience as a social reformer and the founder of Hull House, a pioneering settlement in Chicago, Addams delves deep into the root causes of prostitution, dissecting its implications for society at large. With incisive analysis and heartfelt conviction, Addams challenges conventional perceptions of prostitution as a mere moral failing, advocating instead for a nuanced understanding of its complex socio-economic underpinnings. She compellingly argues that prostitution emerges as a symptom of deeper systemic issues such as poverty, educational deprivation, and gender inequality, calling for a fundamental shift in societal consciousness. Throughout the pages of this transformative work, Addams calls upon readers to cultivate empathy and compassion towards those ensnared in the sex trade, emphasizing the imperative of viewing them not as pariahs but as victims of circumstance deserving of support and understanding. In her vision, the eradication of prostitution necessitates not punitive measures, but rather holistic solutions that address the underlying social inequities fueling its existence. Offering pragmatic proposals for reform, Addams advocates for improved labor conditions, expanded access to education, and the establishment of robust social support systems. Through her impassioned prose and visionary insights, she charts a path towards a more just and equitable society-one in which the shadows of ancient evils are dispelled by the light of a new conscience. Jane Addams's profound impact on society was not confined to the local sphere. Her tireless efforts to promote peace and social justice reverberated on the global stage, earning her the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize in 1931. This book stands as a timeless testament to Jane Addams's unwavering commitment to social justice and her enduring belief in the transformative power of compassion and empathy. This book is not merely a call to action, but a roadmap for building a more compassionate and inclusive world for all.

New York Undercover by Jennifer Fronc Pdf

To combat behavior they viewed as sexually promiscuous, politically undesirable, or downright criminal, social activists in Progressive-era New York employed private investigators to uncover the roots of society’s problems. New York Undercover follows these investigators—often journalists or social workers with no training in surveillance—on their information-gathering visits to gambling parlors, brothels, and meetings of criminal gangs and radical political organizations. Drawing on the hundreds of detailed reports that resulted from these missions, Jennifer Fronc reconstructs the process by which organizations like the National Civic Federation and the Committee of Fourteen generated the knowledge they needed to change urban conditions. This information, Fronc demonstrates, eventually empowered government regulators in the Progressive era and beyond, strengthening a federal state that grew increasingly repressive in the interest of pursuing a national security agenda. Revealing the central role of undercover investigation in both social change and the constitution of political authority, New York Undercover narrates previously untold chapters in the history of vice and the emergence of the modern surveillance state.
