The success of progressivism owed much to publicity generated by the muckrakers. Muckraking novels like Upton Sinclair’s, The Jungle gave readers insight into the true nature of the meat packing industry (Goldfield 623). One of the many grisly descriptions Sinclair provides in his novel is of meat saws slicing through the fingers and hands of factory workers.

Hotel Rwanda Directed by Terry George Themes: Racism/prejudice • The main issue is between the Tutsi and the Hutu. This is explained to the journalist in the bar. His friend tells him that the Belgians decided who would run the country based on their height, skin colour, or the size of their nose. This shows us how ridiculous racial divisions are.

Imagine this; You and your fiancé want to get married right away but the hotel won’t marry you simply because of your origin or how you look. You feel alienated and the stress not only takes a toll on your body but also your mind. “The Stigma and harm caused by denying committed lesbian and gay couples the choice to marry fuels a vicious cycle.” (U.S. Study) Herdt primarily wants to inform us that denying people something they want causes not only anger, sadness and or misery, but also changes the way people think about the world that we as Americans live in today.
