...It was near closing time in the Asch Building on March 25, 1911 when the flames began. Within 18 minutes 146 people were dead. The fourth largest industrial disaster in United States history, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire is remembered today as a tragic incident not only because of all the deaths but because of the fact that they were preventable. The death of 146 workers, mostly young immigrant women, would have been preventable if the owners had followed regulatory precautions to ensure that their workers had accessible exit paths and a set plan of action in case of such incidents. From this horrendous inferno arose public outcry for justice and worker safety reform that led to the transformation of the labor code of New York and...

...BUS2100-101 February 05, 2016 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire Research/ Analyzation The Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire was on March 25, 1911. It was one of the worst tragedies New York City has ever had it caused the demise of 146 workers. The company was owned by Max Blanck and Isaac Hariss. It started out as a small business and by 1900 it had expanded quickly. They relocated the business to the 8th, 9th and 10th floors of the new ten- story Ash Building. The company employed around 500 employees. Most of the employees were immigrant women. Most of the women died from the fire or they perished from jumping from the burning building because the ladders on the fire trucks could only reach the seventh floor. The factory managers kept all of the doors locked to prevent employee theft and to keep the workers from leaving. The building only had one fire escape that collapsed during the rescue. Long tables and large machines trapped many of the people. In my opinion, the managers should not have locked the doors just to save the company money and time. This kind of behavior from the company and managers was unethical behavior. Human life should always take precedence over saving and making money. The company should have taken employee health and safety more serious before the fire. The only legal consequences for the managers were attorney fees. Civil lawsuits against the managers were filed, they proved to be pointless. No money was ever collected from...

...C h a p t e r 1 Prewriting GETTING STARTED (OR SOUP-CAN LABELS CAN BE FASCINATING) For many writers, getting started is the hardest part. You may have noticed that when it is time to begin a writing assignment, you suddenly develop an enormous desire to straighten your books, water your plants, or sharpen your pencils for the fifth time. If this situation sounds familiar, you may find it reassuring to know that many professionals undergo these same strange compulsions before they begin writing. Jean Kerr, author of Please Don’t Eat the Daisies, admits that she often finds herself in the kitchen reading soup-can labels—or anything—in order to prolong the moments before taking pen in hand. John C. Calhoun, vice president under Andrew Jackson, insisted he had to plow his fields before he could write, and Joseph Conrad, author of Lord Jim and other novels, is said to have cried on occasion from the sheer dread of sitting down to compose his stories. To spare you as much hand-wringing as possible, this chapter presents some practical suggestions on how to begin writing your short essay. Although all writers must find the methods that work best for them, you may find some of the following ideas helpful. But no matter how you actually begin putting words on paper, it is absolutely essential to maintain two basic ideas concerning your writing task. Before you write a single sentence, you should always remind yourself that 1. You have some valuable ideas to tell your reader,...
