Question

Upton Sinclair was a well-known muckraker who spent several months investigating the working conditions of the Chicago, Illinois, meatpacking industry. His findings became the basis of his 1906 serialized novel The Jungle.

This book gave a fictionalized account of the lives of meatpacking workers with blunt descriptions of the unsanitary and often dangerous conditions that they faced. The public outcry that followed contributed to the passage of two new federal laws which helped ensure sanitary conditions in meatpacking and other food industries.

Do you think that muckrakers like Sinclair are still needed today? Your answer should be at least 1 paragraph



Answer 1

Hi, Jeffrey J., I would appreciate your writing a paragraph using your personal opinion (if this is required as part of the writing effort) or diplomatic point-of-view based upon current Food & Drug Administration or case-law examples of new cases ensuing from the two original federal cases concerning meatpackers in Chicago or other northeastern states such as Michigan and Minnesota, for instance. Then, I have something to edit that is your opinion based upon certain facts. Consider case law online under the 'Code of Federal Regulations' site regarding meatpackers, list the two original federal cases with quotes using the online site that includes information about them (perhaps search Upton Sinclair's efforts to punish companies who exposed their workers to unsanitary and dangerous working conditions, encouraging the public to demand the passage of federal laws protecting the constitutional rights of workers. Would you compare muckrakers to whistle-blowers, for instance, in defending or excoriating Upton Sinclair's The Jungle? If you were Sinclair, how would you effect positive change in working environments that are dangerous? Do you personally feel that his efforts were justified? Reply back to this answer with your paragraph and I will read and edit it.
