That another part of the country was living a life contrary to the lives of his target audience.

Jacob Riis wrote the book, "How the Other Half Lives", which highlighted the lives of the poor during the late 1800's. His audience for the book and the photo displays were the upper middle and upper classes to demonstrate how the workers were living. He hoped to encourage charity and reform through better wages, working, and living conditions.

Jacob Riis was considered a muckraker. Muckrakers were journalists who investigated and reported on the "muck" or ugly parts of society. Their goal was often reform by reaching the upper power structures of society to create change. Ida B. Wells wrote on lynching, Ida Tarbell on the oil industry, Upton Sinclair on food production. These writers were responsible for bringing awareness that sparked changed in the early 1900's.

write a paragraph explaining what lessons can be learned from the McCarthy era about what the U.S citizens need to protect in or

Vlad1618 [11]

The McCarthy Era was one of the darkest periods in U.S. history. The government was so intent on flushing out communism that they disregarded the rights of its citizens. It was a terrible time to be different or speak against the government. Those who did were already put under suspicion. Many who were put on the blacklist during that time suffered a lot. Some lost their careers while others were imprisoned over hyped-up charges. If there was anything we need to learn is that we need to protect our freedoms of speech, the right to fair trial and the right not to be subjected to unlawful arrest.
