12/17/2012 Good morning! Please get out your family tree chart for The Jungle. Due after break: The Jungle (Test on Wed. Jan. 2) Multiple choice questions (Due Fri. Jan 4) Read to a child (Due by the end of the semester)

Using The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair, to understand today s politics: He s a rightwing pawn. He s a socialist.

Using The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair, to understand today s politics: Overview: Who was Upton Sinclair? Four important terms Liberal/Conservative scale Some history Reading The Jungle

Using The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair, to understand today s politics: Who was Upton Sinclair? He lived from 1878-1968 Muckraker, socialist, journalist Wrote over 90 books; The Jungle is his most famous He said about The Jungle, I aimed for the public s heart, and by accident I hit it in the stomach. He also wrote Oil, which exposed unethical practices by oil companies. That book was made into a movie called There Will be Blood, starring Daniel Day-Lewis (who also played John Proctor in The Crucible, and today is married to Arthur Miller s daughter)

Using The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair, to understand today s politics: Four important terms: Capitalism An economic system where goods, services, and means of production are privately owned. Socialism An economic system where goods, services and means of production are owned by the people, or the government. Democracy A system of government where laws are made by a vote of citizens, or by representatives. Communism A future utopian society envisioned by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Communism was supposed to include no social classes, a democratic government, and a socialist economy. (By the way, Marx was not Russian, he was German. And he was not a revolutionary, he was an economist.)

Using The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair, to understand today s politics: Important to know about capitalism and socialism: Neither one exists in its pure form in any country. They are only theoretical extremes of the same scale: socialist capitalist More gov. control / Less gov. control / regulation of business regulation of business

Using The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair, to understand today s politics: But maybe there are other ways to determine how socialist or capitalist countries are:

Using The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair, to understand today s politics: Q: What does all of that have to do with politics in the United States? A: Republicans lean slightly right, toward leaving private industries alone, and Democrats lean slightly left, toward more government regulation and control. socialist capitalist

Using The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair, to understand today s politics: Q: So, when conservatives call Barak Obama a socialist, are they correct? socialist capitalist

So, what does all of this have to do with The Jungle? The Jungle is a story written to show the evils of too much capitalism. The characters are tormented by companies that are allowed to run wild, with no government oversight or regulations.

Do we ever read any books from the opposite perspective?

Do we ever read any books from the opposite perspective? Hey, too much government control is baaad! 1906 1945

And now, for some history: The Pure Food and Drug Act is just one way that government regulates business. It was passed as a direct result of The Jungle. Before the act, food companies processed food and labeled food pretty much however they wanted.

And now, for some history: The Pure Food and Drug Act: Upton Sinclair lived and worked among the meat-packing workers for months to research for The Jungle. Legend has it that in 1906 President Teddy Roosevelt was reading The Jungle while eating, and he threw his breakfast onto the White House lawn. The Pure Food and Drug Act was passed a couple months later.

And now, for some history: Major immigration waves to the USA: Native Americans: Prehistoric, unknown number English/Scotch: 1607-1790, about 2 million Africans: 1607-1807, about 1 million Germans, Scandinavians, Irish: 1820-1890, 7.5 million Chinese 1849-1882, about 100,000 Italians, E. Europeans, Greeks, Jews: 1890-1920, 20-25 million Latin Americans, SE Asians: 1965-2008, 8-10 million

The only hard part about reading The Jungle is keeping the Lithuanian characters straight:
