I think photo 7 connects to the C.D.V common good because when Henry Ford created the model T he wanted to find the easiest way to build the car so more of that car could be made and average people could buy that car because with more of that car being made he could lower the price. So that just what he did, he created something called a moving assembly line so more cars could get built and with that being done he could lower half the price of a normal car which is around $1000.00 which was a lot for a car back then. So usually only rich people had cars, But when Mr. Ford sold his model T cars for only $500.00 it made buying a car a lot less hard for average people.
Why was this easier? Well with most people only earning around $2 to $1 a week buying a $1000.00 car was really hard, but now with having a car that only was $500.00 or $450.00 was not so hard. Why did everyone want a car? Well you have to face it. With a lot of people driving horse drawn carriages there was a LOT of horse poo in the roads so it was stinky, hard to get trough and most people didn’t want to raise children in such a dirty environment but they had to go to their job to make money. So when this family got their first car they could move somewhere else but still keep their job in that city because they had a car. So they could grow up in a clean enveriment but still have a good paying job. So as you can see this changed people’s lives a ton! And how this connects to common good is that this was for the common good of people, this also connects to individual rights because people should have the right to the pursuit of happiness.
This to them was a good life. So I think Henery Ford changed the lives of many people and put America on wheels to a whole to new life. He made the lives of people easier for the common good and for the people’s individual rights or the pursuit of happiness to a great life.
Common Good By: Josh Pinkos
I think the Model T photo connects common good. I think this because making this car made it that much easier to people that are going somewhere. Common good can be found by just looking at the body of the car.They obviously made the steel or metal harder and more durable to help prevent more injuries in a crash.
Some examples from Greenfield Village are, 1, they really seemed to give this car a lot of importance.2, there were signs telling about how they had improved the car. Last but not least, they were so proud of it, they always show it off around the city.
That’s why the Ford Model T connects to common good.
