Those who were working, were left weak and penniless. To find a job, you had to be willing to put up with these awful conditions. If you were to show weakness, you would be fired and someone would be willing to take your spot the moment you were to quit or be fired. The conditions of the living arrangement were simply horrid.

    In the world of economic competition that we live in today, many thrive and many are left to dig through trashcans. It has been a constant struggle throughout the modern history of society. One widely prescribed example of this struggle is Upton Sinclair's groundbreaking novel, The Jungle. The Jungle takes the reader along on a journey with a group of recent Lithuanian immigrants to America. As well as a physical journey, this is a journey into a new world for them. They have come to America, where in the early twentieth century it was said that any man willing to work an honest day would make a living and could support his family. It is an ideal that all Americans are familiar with- one of the foundations that got American society where it is today.

While there was some concern for the dignity and moral perseverance of the people living in squalor, the real dilemma was economic, keeping them well enough to work. There were also the problems of keeping crime in check and keeping the masses content so as to avoid a revolt.
