Upton Sinclair's novel The Jungle uncovered the unhealthy conditions inside a meat

History

bulgar [2K]3 years ago

Answer:

The legislative actions that occurred in response to the publication of Upton Sinclair's <em>"The Jungle"</em> were <em>“The Meat Inspection Act”</em> (requiring the inspection of the meat processed and the sanitary practices used) and <em>“The Pure Food and Drug Act”</em> (requiring improved food handling processes and procedures). Both laws were signed the same day by President Theodore Roosevelt.

Explanation:

  • With The Meat Inspection Act  the United States Department of Agriculture investigated the conditions of animals intended for consumption before and after they were slaughtered. Greater attention was paid to imported meat products seeking that the process under which these activities were carried out met the new quality standards.

  • With The Pure Food and Drug Act the Chemistry Office is created within the United States Department of Agriculture and its functions are assigned. Years later, this office receives a new name: United States Food and Drug Administration. The law also determined criteria for regulating food and medicine and established penalties for adulteration and misbranding. New requirements also appeared around the "Labeling" of food products and medicines.

What are some criticisms of the United Nations? Check all that apply.
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

It can be corrupt

It is often ineffective

Explanation:

The biggest criticism towards the United Nations goes for:

- It can be corrupt; there's accusations towards the United Nations very often that it is corrupt, and that it serves mostly in the interest of the United States and the western world in general, and objectively speaking it does look that way more often than not.

- It is often ineffective; there's countless examples of the inefficiency of the United Nations, and lots of those kind of seem like the United Nations don't want to solve. Simple example is the name issue between the Republic of Macedonia and Greece. Even though in the law of the United Nations stands that every country has the right to choose its own name and no one can forbid it, and even though the Republic of Macedonia won in the International court over the issue, Greece is blocking its northern neighbor to get into the organizations like NATO and the EU because they are not allowing the term Macedonia to be included in the name of the country. The United Nations did literally nothing to force Greece to respect the law of the organization which they are obliged to do.

- What are two reasons why Japan closed it citizens off from the influences of the rest of the world?
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: Prevent the spread of western ideas in particular Christianity.

Explanation:

As Europeans were exploring Asian countries with the goal of creating trade agreements, many areas were experiencing a push of western culture. To prevent the influence of western culture, the Tokugawa Shogunate refused westerners and made western culture unlawful. Christianity was considered particularly harmful to Japanese culture and hierarchy. The Shogun removed missionaries from the country and made the practice of Christianity illegal. The samurai also resented western influence because it promoted the status of merchants and degraded their own position in society.

How did people react to the american anti-slavery society when it was first founded?​
MArishka [77]

By the 1820s, the controversy surrounding the Missouri Compromise had quieted down considerably, but was revived by a series of events near the end of the decade. Serious debates over abolition took place in the Virginia legislature in 1829 and 1831. In the North discussion began about the possibility of freeing the slaves and then resettling them back in Africa (a proposal that led to the founding of Liberia). Agitation increased with the publication of David Walker's Appeal to the Colored Citizens of the World in 1829, Nat Turner's slave rebellion in 1831, and Andrew Jackson's handling of the nullification crisis that same year. According to Louis Ruchame, "The Turner rebellion was only one of about 200 slave uprisings between 1776 and 1860, but it was one of the bloodiest, and thus struck fear in the hearts of many white southerners. Nat Turner and more than 70 enslaved and free blacks spontaneously launched a rebellion in Southampton County, Virginia, in August 1831. They moved from farm to farm, indiscriminately killing whites along the way and picking up additional slaves. By the time the militia put down the insurrection, more than 80 slaves had joined the rebellion, and 60 whites lay dead. While the uprising led some southerners to consider abolition, the reaction in all southern states was to tighten the laws governing slave behavior

Describe the similarities and differences of the Romantic Movement from the Enlightenment.
Svetach [21]
The Enlightenment differed from Romanticism in many ways. First, The Enlightenment placed immense importance on thoughts and reasoning while Romantics focused on emotions and self- experience. The Enlightenment poets were dexterous in using true-life events to create realistic works depicting an illusory individual.
