Assignment:
Describe the issues surrounding how society works and the effects of various obstacles people must overcome to work.
Draw on specific points from these readings, and explain how a synthesis of these readings deepens the understanding of blue-collar and white-collar employment. How does this understanding allow people to identify potential contradictions in the society in regard to work and who is able to succeed in a given profession? How can people begin to identify elements of a crisis in preparing children to enter the workforce? Lastly, how might the readings begin to point towards strategies for overcoming these negative attitudes towards blue-collar jobs as well as white-collar jobs? [Hint: one strategy is not "work hard and you will succeed."
