The correct answer is C) writers who expose corruption perform a vital service to America.

<em>According to the quote, the statement that best describes Roosevelt’s view in journalism is that writers who expose corruption perform a vital service to America. </em>

In the excerpt, Roosevelt explains it this way: “There is filth on the floor…”, meaning that there is corruption in some areas of the government. “And there are times and places where these services are the most needed...”, meaning that exposing corruption by the media is a necessary service that journalists do.

Roosevelt continues: “The men with the muck rakes are often indispensable to the well being of society”, meaning that journalist that expose corruption cases are necessary to have a transparent government that citizens can be proud of.

The term muckraker, coined by Roosevelt identifies the journalist that exposed and attacked corruption cases in businesses or corrupt leaders.

Well, here is a hint. Anything ending in (.com) is not usually trustworthy, because they are usually trying to sell something, or are just not accurate. (.gov) is trust worthy I guess, but they are telling you what you want to hear. (WIKI IS NOT TRUSTWORTHY AT ALL) (.edu) would be the best, or (.org)

Can someone help me for the question please?
valkas [14]

Answer: The ancient Greek philosophers, whose ideas shaped the worldview of Western Civilization leading up to the Scientific Revolution in the sixteenth century, had conflicting theories about why the planets moved across the sky. One camp thought that the planets orbited around the Sun, but Aristotle, whose ideas prevailed, believed that the planets and the Sun orbited Earth. He saw no sign that the Earth was in motion: no perpetual wind blew over the surface of the Earth, and a ball thrown straight up into the air doesn’t land behind the thrower, as Aristotle assumed it would if the Earth were moving. For Aristotle, this meant that the Earth had to be stationary, and the planets, the Sun, and the fixed dome of stars rotated around Earth.

In the modern globalized world, countries are linked together like never before as information, products and even people spread
svetlana [45]

The globalization is a process that has brought many positives in the world, in almost every country and among almost all people. Unfortunately, this process also has its negatives too, and of them is the fact that the safety of the people around the world has actually decreased. The main reason for this is that through the mass and social media, everyone can communicate with everyone, so violence and extremism is often spread out in this way to people thousands of miles away. The means of travel are enabling people from all over the world to be able to go anywhere they want, including the people that want to cause troubles and damage. Another thing that is of great concern is that through the mail, everything can be sent everywhere, including deadly chemicals and pathogens. The deadly diseases that were only local, now can easily be transferred to other continents in only few hours because people travel throughout the whole world. The evidence for the decline in safety can easily be seen in the ever growing terrorist attacks all over the globe, people that have caused the death of civilians because they have been recruited online over time, pathogens spreading out into places where they are not native, and almost daily packages and letters sent through the mail with explosives or deadly chemicals in them.
