Objective 1.10 The Jungle ans Consumer Protection Laws

Response to reading #1 (problems) : Meat Packing Industry

•  unhygienic areas where the meat was handled
• Rats
• Rat poison that went into the meat
• Spit that contained germs full tuberculosis

Response to reading # 2 (problems):

• Risks of cutting hands
• blood poison
• death
• unsafe work areas
• unsanitary work areas 

1)This example of "muckraking" exposed to the american people all the things that went on in the meat industry and unsanitary jobs, in addition it also showed risks and dangerous the workers face.
2)I would expect the government to enforce new laws to help protect there workers some kind of regulation in order for the jobs to be sanitary and organized.
3)without the publication of the "the Jungle" change would have not happened because people would remain unaware of what goes on in those areas of work.
