Hey guys! Haven't talked in a while...
Anyways, have another quick question for you...

Out of all the issues that muckrakers focused on during this time period, (Farming monopolies, oil monopolies, election/political reform, factory worker's rights, FDA regulations, child labor protections, women's rights, African-American Rights, environmental protection, philanthropy, education reform.) which 3 do you feel are the most pressing issues today and why?

I think that nowadays, the biggest issues would be African-American rights, environmental protection, and education reform. Even to this day, there are still issues with unequal rights for people of color, immigrant or citizen. Also, people tend to ignore the rising threat of global warming and other environmental issues like the loss of water and more radiation from the sun slipping through our atmosphere. Education is still an issue as well, judging by the fact that there are still kids in other countries that can't pay for school, or doesn't even have one in their town. I say this because these three issues are growing bigger ever year - especially the issue of uneual rights for immigrants with the growing situation with ISIS and muslim immigrants. So I think that these three are the three that need the most attention and most thought to solve them.
