Question

(IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWER, PLEASE DON'T RESPOND, DO NOT WASTE MY POINTS PLEASE)
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

Answer:

This answer is based on opinion, so I wrote as if I agree that there should be muckrakers.

I believe muckrakers are still needed today. Historically, muckrakers created public awareness of corruption, social injustices and abuses of power.  The in depth encounter would bring national awareness to these issues, and would often bring change.  Although modern work environments follow stricter guidelines, no system is perfect, and injustices still occur.  I believe the presence of Muckrakers in would affect todays society similarly to they way they historically affected society, by leading to public outrage at hostile work experiences, and thus resulting in fairer work environments.
