41, Iss. 3; pg. 792, 3 pgs Abstract (Summary) McComb argues that, as students saw the country emerging from the depression, they began to demand social guidance from social "experts" and found it in newly idealized mass market marriage manuals that told men that a good trophy woman belonged in the home and claimed women were empowered in finding trophy husbands who could provide them with middle-class status Collegiate youth are a good gateway to professional-managerial work (with all the complexities of class identity that formulation entails), and this monograph may
Mr. Fridman is correct that America does need its nerds. Intellectual humans began this country and they still run it today. America is not run by a bunch of New York Yankees or Pittsburg Steelers, but its run by Yale or Harvard graduates. The men and women that do more for this country than anything are college graduates who took their studies and education far past the point of any expectations. Some people are just not blessed with athleticism, but those who are blessed with the desire and will to learn and create are the ones of really make a difference in our society.
In 1947 when women were asked whether married women should return home, 58% said that women should return to their domestic duties. Overall, there were short term changes in social attitudes towards women workers but there was little lasting change. Rationing was introduced in 1939 to make sure that everyone had the same amount of food and that the rich could not buy all of it, leaving the working classes to starve. It was seen as a necessary and fair precaution to stop Britain being starved out by the Germans. Rationing changed many social attitudes because
Traditionally, most people believe that in order to be successful they must work hard, and once they are successful, they will be happy. Today we have the beliefs that if we can just find that great job or win that promotion, happiness will follow. This theory may be the cause of many people leading unhappy lives. The Happiness Advantage: the Seven Principles of Positive Psychology to Fuel Success at Work by Shawn Achor a psychologist and former professor at Harvard shows how positive psychology research has proven the complete opposite. Achor provides stories and case studies from his research among many Fortune 500 companies and executives in 42 different countries, to explain how we can reprogram our brains to become more positive to gain a competitive edge at work.
The second example given is that the money earned daily by laborers is often higher than the average national wage. The final and third example is that there is no systematic alternative to sweatshops they cannot be replaced, only attempted to be reformed. Powell presents a well supported argument, he has done research and found information that can even sway a radical activist. Although Powells argument proves the advantages of being a sweatshop worker in a Third World country, the common facts about sweatshops from articles in the Humboldt State University newspaper by J. McClain counters Powells argument with evidence of sweatshops having harsh working conditions and without recognition for worker safety and rights. McClain one of the many Humboldt State University students who are active participants of human rights assemblies and have shown deep interest in supporting the fight against Sweatshops.
I personally believe this is so far from the truth. I am from a poor family who was raised in the projects; we are proud hard working people who strive for greatness. This is America, so everyone has the right to the first amendment “Freedom of Speech”. On the other hand Malcolm Gladwell has a totally different view of crime decreases. His view depicts crime decreasing due to more Police power, Gladwell believes if there are more police that people would commit less crime.
I also am a person that thrives on routine. I would not be a satisfied employee if I felt that I always needed to be hunting for another job because I could not rely on my employer. My employer always can rely on me and I want to feel as though I can always rely on my employer. Job security is also the fourth most important factor to job satisfaction, according to the 2011 Employee Job Satisfaction and Engagement research report that was conducted by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). It accounts for 59% of the reason for job satisfaction.
In short some consider these people society’s primitives; however; these blue-collar slobs are essential, more than we realize. Without them there would be an infinite void in our society. Blue-collar jobs are the base of our industrial economic system. Try to imagine our society without these unsung heroes for example mechanics, truck drivers, carpenters, factory workers, disc- jockeys, waitresses, cooks, plumbers, electricians, landscapers, and trashmen the list is seemingly endless. People should be grateful for the service they provide in our society.
<BR> Imagine a life where as an employee you have no security in a job, if your employer believes he or she can be more profitable without you then without you is how they continue. Or if you are injured your income disappears also. This is how many workers lived their life in America at one time with continuously cut wages. Desperately trying to hold onto their position because no one else will care if they are replaced. While workers fought for fair treatment and job security, the employers wanted the freedom to become more efficient and profitable.
Immigrants are the reason America is so powerful today. They helped built America from the bottom. Immigrants work hard to stay in America. They will take jobs that most Americans wouldn’t even dare to take. As an immigrant myself, I am glad that my family and I moved to America.
