Muckrakers prepared the way for political reforms by exposing corruption and social problems through their writings, leading to public awareness and support for reform. Upton Sinclair's 'The Jungle' and Ida Tarbell's series on Standard Oil are examples of muckraking journalism.
Muckrakers were investigative journalists who exposed corruption and social problems in the early 20th century. Through their writings, they shed light on political, economic, and social issues, which helped create public awareness and support for political reforms.
For example, Upton Sinclair's book 'The Jungle' exposed the unsanitary conditions of the meatpacking industry, leading to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act. Ida Tarbell's series on the Standard Oil Company revealed its unfair business practices, fueling public demand for antitrust legislation.
Overall, muckraking journalism played a crucial role in pushing for political reforms by revealing the truth, exposing corruption, and mobilizing public opinion.

Moses was the prophet who brought the Jews out of the Egyptian bondage, but he was not the only prophet, there were many in the history, such as Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, etc. After leaving Egypt at Mount Sinai, Moses received from God Ten Commandments long before the Jews arrived at the promised land, meaning long before the Babylonian bondage. These ten commandments are the bases and core of the Jewish faith and as such exist long before the Babylonian bondage. The Jewish 40-year journey through the desert before coming to Canaan (the promised land) is a part of a history that has a powerful influence on Jewish consciousness, as a nation, because there in the desert, Moses was gradually writing new rules in Torah, constantly correcting the people in the sense of adhering to religious and social rules. These same rules have become part of everyday behavior as they come to the promised land and beyond. The first Temple built by Solomon was a place of worship, but also the Jews were monotheists and worshiped one God before that. When banished into the Babylonian slavery, access to the temple was not possible and this has a great influence on the formation of their religion, in terms of maintaining faith in the impossibility of having a temple. Under such conditions, a new Babylonian Talmud was formed, which differs from the pre-Babylonian one, but together with it, it formed a whole in the overall religious teaching. This is a significant part of Jewish history, because it speaks of the survival and prayer and worship of one God under slavery, the inability to access the temple, which had previously.
