In this article I will talk to you about the innocent civilians of today’s society and about the things that have been going on: such as the unsafe products that companies are making you work with, some of our children having to work jobs that we should have to work, natural resources being wasted disgracefully and other horrible topics as well.

Trains were destroying the area by plummeting the soil with its rods which is absolutely terrible because people benefit of soil for many things such as food and clothes which are the basic necessities one needs to live.

    Hi Prof Ronan, Thank you for posting. I think that filibusters should not be allowed. I understand there will be issues and questions, but I think there should be a time limit on how long they can wait before a vote and final decision is made.

    From the time the word “muckraker” was conceived by President Roosevelt as an insult toward journalists, to the later years where the phrase was worn with pride, it remains that “muckraking” has had a profound impact on the way American society has reacted to controversial issues. While originally defined by Roosevelt as a journalist who ‘goes too far’ in the pursuit of their story, the definition has morphed through the years to mean one who “searches out and publicly exposes real or apparent misconduct of a prominent individual or business.” Though there have been a few instances where “muckraking” has led to an exaggerated response, when the proposed information was true, it had led to a groundbreaking awareness of situations in society.
