Before the Civil War, most people saw nothing wrong with children working long hours. Over time, people began to see it as unfair and even cruel. What is something that society once accepted but now sees as wrong, or something we still accept today that might be viewed as wrong in the future? Explain your reasoning.

 Prompt Response: One thing society once accepted but now views as wrong is the practice of slavery. Many people in the past didn't see anything wrong with owning African Americans, but now they are realizing, over time, the injustice and cruelty of it.


Summary: In the past, many people accepted slavery as normal. This change in thinking shows how people's views can evolve as they learn more about human rights.


Reflection: This makes me realize how important it is to question what society accepts as normal.
