Progressivism

Japanese: プログレッシビズム（英語表記）Progressivism

This refers to the momentum for reform that was widespread in the United States from the early 20th century to World War I in domestic politics as well as in various areas of society and culture. It can also be translated as "progressiveism." As early as the second half of the 19th century, farmers and workers in some areas had expressed dissatisfaction with the distortions of the monopoly industrial society and the accompanying political corruption, but during this period of progressivism, calls for reform grew from a wider range of people in more classes and occupations, including the urban middle class and general consumers.

Japanese:

20世紀初頭から第1次世界大戦までのアメリカで，国内政治をはじめ社会や文化の各分野で広く盛り上がった改革の気運を指す。〈革新主義〉とも訳す。すでに19世紀の後半以来，独占産業社会のもつゆがみとそれにともなう政治の腐敗に対して，一部地域の農民や労働者から不満が表明されていたが，この革新主義の時代には，都市中産階級，一般消費者を含むより広範な地域のより多くの階層･職種の人たちから改革を求める声が高まってきた。
