LAD 22- Wilson's First Inaugural

Wilson's First Inaugural

With the election of Wilson came the introduction of his knowledge on the many issues of American society at the time. These issues were those of sweeping reform necessary to counter the numerous wrongs that had sprung up with the development of big business. Despite his two previous progressive presidents Wilson carefully outlined many issues which were at large during this time. This included the problematic philosophy which everyone had established at the time. This was the idea that "Let every man look out for himself, let every generation look out for itself". This clearly was an issue given it left many people to display a great disregard for the deteriorating conditions of the work place, the cities and elsewhere. Not only were the people at fault here but the government as well. Clearly the government had not had a big enough hand in helping to improve the status of the nation. With many trusts and poor working conditions still remaining there was no way the government could get away with another stage of lassiez faire involvement.
