846 wordsI feel extremely fortunate that as a whole, working today families do not experience as many tragedies as the characters in Upton Sinclair's The Jungle experienced during the beginning of the 20 th century. While reading The Jungle I learned that the rights and welfare of the average American working man and woman have dramatically increased over the past hundred years. Although some of the same social, economic, and political problems still occur in our society, the problems are far less preval...

Food And Drug Meat Packing
