National Civilian Community Corps

The environmental issues that happened during the first New Deal are the lessons that need to be taken into effect to resolve the problem with climate change, a problem people have today. With the environmental issues, Roosevelt wanted to preserve lands such as national parks, so he established the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC)8. With the CCC, this is was a way to help preserve the environment such as national parks. This environmental issue in the end, although ended in 1941, was able to provide work for the unemployed who were able to get paid thirty dollars monthly after the program ended. In this case, this was not a matter of identifying a problem then resolving it, but an issue that he wanted so he made it happen hoping it would benefit the future. Roosevelt wanted to prevent deforestation so he did what he did to reach his goal of preserving the environment. What the current generation should learn from the New Deal is to make changes now in order to prevent problems from happening in the future. The current generation did not anticipate the problem of climate change…

Also, because the workers were paid only a dollar a day it was viewed as “slave labor”. The union began to have protests due to the amount of work that was required but paid in so little. Roosevelt then decided to let the Civilian Conservation Corps to be ran by a man from the union.

The basic purpose of the agency was simply to regulate and oversee “fairness” in industries. The National Recovery Administration set a minimum wage for workers as well as a maximum number of hours at that pay. These regulations were not just set by anyone but they resulted from public hearings. The agency seemed to be one to majorly benefit America, however, in 1935 it was declared unconstitutional infringing the separation of powers. The Wagner Act, also called the National Labor Relations Act…

Furthermore, on May 6, 1933, the executive established the WPA to aid people with useful projects as in occupations.(A and E) (History). This helped the desperate and starved people in need. For instance, at least three million out of ten million famished and jobless Americans gain jobs from the WPA (A and E). Even though three million might not seem like a lot, compared to fourteen million jobless people, but at least the program added three million jobs. Most of the jobs include building…

This was only the first phase/wave of the New Deal. There were three waves, starting in 1932 and ending in 1940.

The impact of these laws was not felt right away but Franklin Roosevelt knew it would take some time. FDR pushed hard for a litter of new programs into existence,…

Its targeting of the male population, while completely dismissing the female public is evidence of the lack of job roles for women during the 1930’s. The art, depicting a young man holding an axe indicates the great value placed upon unskilled manual labour by the government. This poster is an example of bias in the way that it fails to mention the negative…
